Northern Pacific.

There is no question about the invest
ment rating Of Northern Pacific bonds.
They are all so well secured and in
normal years interest charges are COW
cred by so wide margin that they sell
on low yield basis and are held largely
by financial institutions and investors
who must have safety above everything
else.
The immediate question of interest
concerns the stock of which there is par
value. On this stock the present dIvi-
dend rate is SIS annually, which has
been paid since 1922. Prior to that time
and back to 1909 the rate was 81 per
sh~re, the cut having been the result OF
decreased revenues III the postwar pc
riod. Like the other railroads, the
Northern Pacific has suffered from the
current falling of in traffic. on the
basis of reports for the first six months
earnings available for the stock at tbs
end of 1880 will be only around Sc q
share. which is not much of a margin
above dividend requirements
The Northern Pacific Jointly with the
Great Northern controls the Chicago
Burlington GC Quincy, which is a highly
profitable property. That road is now
paying an annual dividend of SO q
share, which has been the rate the past
eight years. 1t Is estimated the Burling-
ton will earn around $14 share thi:
year, so that 1t would be possible fol
