volved are an infinitesimal proportion
OF the total property investment of the
carriers.
High Yields.
Due to emergency conditions and to
the popular prejudice against railroad
securities and to a certain amount of
necessitous bank liquidation, railroad
equipment trust certificates are now
available at terms that would have
startled the investor had they been Of
fered him at any time in the past
decade.
To illustrate: The 6h per cent
notes of the Pittsburgh g. Lake Erie,
known as the Little Giant" among
railroads and in the past having paid
annual dividends from 80 to so per
cent, were available today to yield 61a
per cent. The 6 per cent notes of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, whose
5 per cent bonds have this year sold
as high as lis, were reported as Of
fered to yield Ga per cent. This is
considered one of the strongest of the
smaller roads of the country. South
ern Pacific equipment per cent notes
are being offered at par, to yield ex-
actly 7 per cent. Louisville & Nash
Vile 6l2s. due in 1886, and not there
fore influenced by any early maturing
embarrassments, are also offered at
par. The equipment obligations of
such high credit lines as Chesapeake

able to yield per cent. Where the
supply in one maturity is somewhat
greater than in another maturity there
are frequently differences of between
one-half and ! per cent in the actual
yield in favor Of the buyer.
Promising Investment Field.
This is only another promising field
opened to the shreWd judge of values
because of the unreasoning fear by in

LOOMS SEES BETTER

Robert H. Loomis of Loomis, Sayles

better times ahead in 1882. He notes
that the lambs of 1929 have unfor-

stampede just as thoroughly. With
full realization Of present chaotic con-
ditions," he says, lit Is necessary for
cool and level-headed observers to see
things in true perspective. An example
of this is the present dread that Amer
lea will abandon the gold standard.
why should perfectly solvent ma
ton, with enormous resources and a
favorable balance of trade, owing no

be so afraid of its own shadow" he
asks.
THE New Year will bring the usual
seasonal improvement in trade. Stabili-
zation of wholesale prices over the past
five months, the strong position of
wheat and the prospective increase in
automobile manufacture in the first
quarter of next year cannot help but
be constructive. 1t Is to be hoped. too,

NEW YORK, December 24,-The
current income return on two distinct
types of investment securities illustrates
the radical change that has come over
the investment market in recent months
without any corresponding adjustment
in the actual money rate
For instance, yesterday the City Of
New York 512 per cent revenue bills
were being offered to yield 514 per cent
The taxable yield on these notes to q
corporation is per cent. Not so many
months ago, New York City thought
it had done remarkable job in financ-
ing when it was able to dispose of the
same type of securities at yield slightly
over ! Il per cent. There has been no
change in the affairs of the city mean
while. The difference is in the point of
view of the investor, whether an in
dividual or an institution.
Equipment Trust Loans.
At about the same time that New
York City was selling its notes at the
best rate in many years, it was pos
sible to distribute the equipment trust
certificates of the New York Central
Railroad on about 334 per cent Yield
to maturity. Specialists in the equip.
ment business had never witnessed
market conditions equivalent to those
ruling when this basis on New York
Central notes, and approximately on
those of all of the other strong carriers,
was established. Today one could OBJ
tain yield of per cent on similar
notes. If he were a hard trader, he
might be able to improve this slightly.
Railroad equipment trust certificates
outrank all other railroad obligations,
They form a sort of ariSLocracy among
securities and have long held the pre-
ferred place in the portfolios of jnsti-
tutionS and of the most careful private
investors. They are a first lien on that
portion of railroad most necessary for
it to function. So the holder of an
equipment trust certificate is a part
owner in the passenger and freight
cars and locomotives of an individual
line. In the long history of American
railroad financing, there have been al
most no defaults on receivers certifi-
Gates. Where these have occurred the
holder has ultimately received 100 cents
on the dollar. At the present time
there are two temporary defaults; those
on Seaboard Air Line and Wabash Rail-
road equipments. The amounts in

RAIL TAX TO TAKE
THIRD OF REVENUE
Economist Estimates Pay.
ments to Government for
Year of 1881.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER.


The tax bill Of railways in 1881 will
take nearly one-third of their net rev.
enue.
An analysis of the situation by DR..
julius II. Parmelee of the Bureau of
Railway Economics, private agency
supported by the carriers, discloses
this, showing the amount of all rail-
way taxes per dollar during the first
10 months of 1881 was rs cents. This
calculation was made in terms of cents
of tax per dollar of revenue, which
measures the percentage ratio of taxes
to revenues.
On this basis of measurement, the
increase from 1920 to 1880 was from
"A cents per dollar to 66 cents per
dollar, relative rise of exactly SO per
cent. During the first 10 months of
1881 railway taxes absorbed an even
greater percentage of revenues. DR..
Parmelee found The present ratio. he
said, was equivalent to nearly 80 per
cent of the carriers net revenue after
operating expenses, or the equivalent
Of their total net revenue for about
four months Of the year.
During the last decade the analysis
showed the total amount levied on the
roads increased in every year except
1927 and 1880. These years were ex-
cepted because the amount of taxes
collected by the Federal Government
in the form of corporate income taxes
declined. These two declines, in turn
were due to the reduced net income
of the railways in thos, yesrs.
Eliminating taxes paid to The Fed
eral Government, the amount of State
and local taxes paid by the carriers has
shown a continual upward trend, as
follows.
