READING co.

At the close of last year the New
York Central and the Baltimore 81 Ohio
owned equal amounts of Reading stock
SUFFICIENT to give them joint control.
Since that time the Baltimore & Ohio
has increased its interest until 1t now
owns about So per cent of the outstand-
ing stock, and 1t is understood that the
New York Central is willing to dispose
of its holdings to the Baltimore g. Ohio.
giving that company something like Sc
per cent of the outstanding stock of all
classes. This makes the floating supply
comparatively small and gives the free
shares a minority character, which is
reflected in their high market price
Reading common is of $50 par, pays
8 per cent, or 81 per share, and sells to
give return of less than 4 per cent.
1t Is therefore not the yield that gives
the stock its attraction, but its equity
in valuable property.
The Reading, through stock owner
ship, controls the Central Railroad of
New Jersey. which is another company
the stock of which sells on its asset
valCe and not on its earnings, although
the earnings in normal years are large.
Both of these companies are placed
with the Baltimore e. Ohio in one
system in the latest Interstate Com
merce Commission plan.
What has been said of Reading COM
mon applies more or less to the two
classes of Reading preferred, also of
$50 par value, They are entitled to
noh- cumulative per cent dividends
and sell to give not much more than
that amount. AS investment Securi-
ties they rank among the very best
The market price is fixed, however,
partly by the fact that the preferred
shares have equal voting power with
the common. There is one unusual pro-
vision connected with the second pre-
ferred The company may at its OPP
ton convert this second preferred stock
at par. one-half into first preferred and
one-half into common stock. On the
possibility that advantage might be
taken of this clause there have been
| times when the second preferred stock
sold higher than the first preferred,
although the latter has the prior claim
on earnings.
Reading income has fallen off this
! year with the traffic slump, but there
has never been any question about the
safety of the dividend. Buyers have
concerned themselves only with the de-
mand that might come for the common
stock by one or the other of the parties

CANADA'S SHIPPING
INTERESTS EXPAND
Dominion's Foreign Trade
Developed Through Mer-
camille Marine Policy.
BY ]. C. RoYLE.

special Dlspatch TO The star.
MONTREAL, August 25.-With ships
plying to every important port in the
world, Canada's mercantile development
during the past year has been almost
phenomenal when it is considered that
only few years ago merely few set
routes were covered with cargoes from
the Dominion
Through extension of the Canadian
government mercantile marine there
has been a marked activity in trade
between the Dominion and the British
West Indies and coupled with this,
the Inauguration of the Canadian Ma
tional Steamship Lady boats. such as
the Lady Nelson and Lady Rodney, on
the West Indies run, real progress has
been made in foreign trade.
Coastal Traffic Gains.
One feature of Canadas marine pro-
gram this year Is the increase in coastal
traffic and the added facilities given
those who seek to travel to Europe via
the ST. Lawrence River. This is a popu-
lar route for passengers from the United
States. Ocean-going ship arrivals in
decline of eighty thus far The reduced
movement of grain accounts for most
of this decline. Shipments have fallen
of 100000 bushels from last sea-
son during recent months.
Apart from the question of grain
shipments, the freight traffic has been
well maintained, and whereas formerly
the port of Montreal considered it ex-
traordinary to have ships from distant
ports, now vessels arriving from Egypt
or Turkey are a common sight Mon
treal has spent millions during the past
four or five years on port facilities, SO
that the city is equipped to handle the
largest liners.
At Vancouver similar improvements
| have been made in order to accommo-
| date the new giant passenger liners that
are now plying between that port ano
| the Orient. Private steamship CON-
panieS are adding to their fleets both
] on the Atlantic and the Pacific, anc
only lately the Empress of Japan, new
! est of the c. P. RS crack boats, was
| sent TO Quebec on her maiden voyage
prior to going on the Pacific run. Thu
Canadian Pacific is at present building
| even a larger ship, and this, too, vii
go into service on the Pacific.
Great Lakes Fleets.
The Canadian National Steamships
government owned, now have boats ply
ing to all parts of the world-Australia
Africa. the Orient and South America
| all being on their routes. At present
only freight is carried, with few pas
| sengers, to these distant points, bu
| within the next few years speedy pas
senger service is expected to be de-
veloped in conjunction with the freigh
carrying.
Canadas position in the mercantile
marine world is doubly enhanced be
cause of the great fleets operating OF
the Great Lakes, and if the st. Law
renee deep waterways project is f1nall!
sanctioned by the Canadian and Unitet
States governments. ocean-going freigh
and passenger vessels will be in posi-
ton to Journey as far West as For
| William and Port Arthur.

CONVERTIBLE BOND
LIST SHOWS LOSS
Market Moves in Narrow
Limits--High- Grade
Issues Gain.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 25.-After
small weekend accumulation of orders
had been cleaned up in the first Is
minutes today, bond trading relapsed
into dullness and prices moved within
narrow limits under small lot trans
actions.
The sole exception to this apathy
was the moderately heavy selling of
Peruvian bonds, on news tat the
revolution had 'ucceeded in establishing
itself in one of Peru's southern cities
and that President Leguia and his
cabinet had resigned. Peru IS u96O)
were off over points to new low.
Peru IS 196D were off points and
Peru rs lost 2 points. The selling was
checked to some degree by buying orders
that came into the market on word
that order had been restored all over
Peru, except in the City of Arequipa.
Money Rates.
The market Lad little to influence it.
Money ratec were unchanged and trans
actions at a low ebb New issues
amounted to only 81 1895, 900.
Prime issues kept their high levels
in most cases, though there was again
some switching when stocks showed an
early rising tendency. This brought
convertibles up, too. but they reacted
later when stocks turned irregular.
In the high-grade section, Union
Pacific first As were an investment
favorite and went to new high for
the year, y point above Saturdays
close. There were ether gains in Ca
madam Pacific As, at a new high;
Northern Pacific is, also at new peak;
Standard of New York 4l2s, Standard
Oil of New Jersey SIS and Utilities
Power g. Light 5 rs. On the other side
of the picture there were small declines
in Pennsylvania general 4l2s, Atchison
general As and Philadelphia Co. SIS.
Bonds with stock features, either
conversion or option, wereC generally
lower on the day after the early I'M
certainty. American International 5 12s,
Southern Pacific 4l2s, American Tele-
phone Az 1880, General Theater
Equipment IS and international Ce-
ment SIS all participated. Warner Bros.
Pictures IS came back fractionally from
their low price of the year, recorded
on Saturday.
Other Changes.
Junior railroad credits like Chicago
81 Eastern Illinois SIS, Chicago & Great
Western As, st. Paul adjustments, ROCK
Island 4las, Missouri-Pacific As and
Western Maryland As were lower. In
the industrials Armour of Delaware
5lhs gained "a point and Goodyear os
lost a shade.
Oil companies obligations were weak,
paralleling a similar move in their COM
Elementary stocks. Included in this
trend were Phillips Petroleum 514s,
TranScontinental Oil 6ias and Sinclair
IS. fractions were quiet and I'M
changed.
Apart from the move in Peruvians
there was no feature to the foreign de-
partment.
Australian SIS continued their adj
vance, following new assurances from
the Antipodes and the Bank of Eng
land that the dominion's financial af-
fairs would surely be Strengthened out
without losses to its creditors.
