Elk Horn Corporation
Question?Kindly give me an opinion of
Elk Horn Corporation common and pre?
ferred took, rlov. quoted at about 26 and 3D.
reapeetivelj.?A. H. L.
Answer?Elk Horn Coal Corporation,
organized in the latter part of 1915,
showed earnings as follows: 1916, pre
ferred $4.85, common $1.02; 1917, pre?
ferred $13.14, common $5.54; 1918, pre?
ferred $9.48, common $3.56. Dividends
are fair on the preferred, at the rate of
6 per cent, or $3 a share. The common
received 6 per cent, or $3, in 1918, but
the coal strike caused the directors to
defer the dividend on the common in
December, 1919. The outlook is said
to be better now. The stocks offer ?
speculative possibilities. !
Not So Easy as It Looks
Question?As a reader of your valued
paper I am taking the liberty of writing you
to ask a few questions on the subject of
arbitrage in stocks between New York and
Berlin. I am told Canadian Pacific stock 1b '
quoted at about 1,200 marks per share in
Berlin to-day, equivalent to about 115 per ;
? hare, at the prevailing rate of exchange.
What prevents my buying this stock in
Germany and selling it in New York at $126
per share? If the German government pro-1
hibita the export of such securities from
Germany what prevents making the neces- '
sary arrangements with some surety com?
pany to destroy 100 shares of such stock in '
Germany, give bond for it here, and thus
arrange to have a new certificate issued ,
here' Or, in ?ny event, is there anything'
to prevent buying such shares in Germany
and leaving them there in the custody of
some bank, meantime giving instructions to
pay the dividends to me in New York 7 Any
of these plans would give vary large profits ;
the first two might possibly find some dif- ;
Acuities in restrictions by the government,
but the third should not meet any great dif
Acuities that I can see, and would net the I
investor at least 66 2-3 per cent, since
Canadain Pacific pays 10 per cent and would .
cost only %ii> per ?hare.?J. E. F,
Answer?Your plan of arbitrage in '
Canadian Pacific stock between New !
York and Berlin would be frustrated at
its inception, because there is a ban
on the export of foreign securities
from Germany. You could not have i
dividends paid to you, because transfer ?
of the stock sold in Germany has been '?
stopped. If you attempted to secure |
the stock by means of having the cer- j
tificates destroyed you would find your- ?
self in for a considerable wait.before a
new certificate would be issued, to say '
nothing of other complications bound j
to arise. j
Dividend Is Postponed
Question?:l would like to inquire about!
preferred dividend of the Chicago Great.
v\ 'sttrn, usua'iy pnii? in , anuary, ubout the
15th. 1 have not received it on the stock I
hold, and cannot ascertain why it Is de?
layed. I have seen or heard of no notice :
of its discontinuance.?F. F. W.
Answer?No action has been taken
by the directors of the Chicago Great?
Western regarding the dividend on the j
preferred stock due at this time. There
was a delay in the payment of the last
dividend, as it was necessary to obtain '
approval from Washington before it
was paid. 'The road is earning less
than one-half the amount of the gov- i
ernment guaranty. Perhaps the direc?
tors prefer awaiting the outcome of
railroad legislation before declaring :
another disbursement. ;

belief h that the ?tecl companies have pro -
perous years ahead vi them and if the?.?
companies aro sound 1 will be all right.
W. 0.
Answer?All the stocks you mention
are so subject to wide fluctuations thsr
they are not entitled to good invest
ment ratings. The war was responsible
for placing two of these companies
(Lackawana and Republic) on their
feet. The others aro largely product
of the war. If you believe these com?
panies will enjoy prosperity there is
no reason why you should not purchas i
the stock. We do not consider that
they should be purchased for invest
ment purposes, but as speculation onlj
Would Weaken Principal
Question?I am the owner of twenly
shares of Pennsylvania Railroad bought sev
eral years ago at 62%. My wife has twelvu
shares which were bought at 56%. I have
an order with Benedict Wysdote for te:i
shares, at 41. This money is savings for
my two children and has been drawing 4 per
cent as it accumulates weekly avingi. I read
your article and I am undecided about pur?
chase. Have always had a strong feelinr
that Pennsylvania Railroad was n safe in?
vestment; surprised to read it don't cam
the 3 per cent dividend. 1? it better for me
and children to leave tills $400 at 4 per
cent or purchase Pennsylvania ttailroad paj
Ing much more??E. B. W.
Answer?Pennsylvania Railroad stocit
has always until recently be"en entitle?
to a good investment classification. Wa
cannot under present conditions,
recommend it. There are entirely tor?
many uncertainties surrounding the
railroad situation. Our only reaaoi
for believing that constructive legis?
lation will be enacted is because the
people begin now to realize how neces?
sary it is to ?give the carriers a square
deal. IT they do not obtain it, it spell*
receivership for many. We cannot
bring ourselves to believe that Con?
gress will allow this to happer..
Nevertheless the mere fact that there
is any doubt in regard to the matter
makes most railroad stocks a specula?
tion. Conditions have changed. Whac
was once a good investment cannot.
now be so considered. In choosing
Pennsylvania stock now, you sp?cul?t j
upon the legislation to be enacted.
Consequently you weaken tho position
of your principal.
Awaiting Stock Dividend Decision
Question?I am the owner of a block of
National Lead common stock. It has beei
rumored In some quarters that this company
might distribute a cash or stock dividend.
Please Inform me if your sources of informa?
tion produce any ground for such a surmis?
The earnings of the United States Cartridge
Company seem to figure in the talk.?J.
M. K.
Answer?National Lead Company, :t
well managed corporation, has shown
increased earnings for the last few
weeks. The last report (1918) showe I
14.46 per cent earned op the common
stock, against 15.45 per cent in 1917,
6 16 per cent in 1916 and 4.86 per cent
in 1915. This company, with no fund?
ed debt, has increased its surplus from
$4,901,581 in 1911 to 58,311,564 in 1918.
The report for 1919 should show even
better results. The dividend policy ha i
been conservative. This is one of tho ?
companies which is said to be awaiting;
the outcome of the Supreme Court's de ?
cisi?n In the stock dividend case. If
this decision is favorable the company
very likely will malPe a handsome dis?
bursement to stockholders. It certainly
is in a position to do so. United State ?
Cartridge, one-half of whose stock Is
owned by the National Lead Company,
has increased its surplus from $2,640.- !
319 in 1917 to $4,836,019. In 1918 the
floating debt was $3,150,000. To-day
there is none. This company is in th"
same position, only awaiting in all
probability the stock dividend decision.

From J. Ogden Armour
President, Armour and Company
For some time we have had a thought with which we have
wanted to acquaint the American public, and it concerns the future
of Armour and Company.
From a small beginning sixty years ago, serving a few people
locally and under the management of the Armour family, we have
expanded to a point where we now serve many millions of people
all over the world.
We have come to the view that a wide distribution of ownership
of any corporation serving a large number of people is of advan?
tage not only in maintaining the human relation between em?
ployer and employe but between those from whom it buys and
those to whom it sells.
Realizing that a business of the character of ours is so necessary
to the public, we believe they should be accorded the privilege of par?
ticipating in its ownership. As a beginning, two years ago we of?
fered our debentures, which were exchangeable into preferred
stock. As a result, we now have eleven thousand preferred stock?
holders.
With the thought in mind of further public participation we
have ?decided to segregate our leather properties. The announce?
ment of the offering of preferred and common stock of the
Armour Leather Company will be made in this paper tomorrow.
