Ifc^*: And II Branche? Cuba Loan Dropped As N. Y. Banks Fail To Agree on Plans No Concerted Action to Aid Sugar Interests bv Sup plying Credit; Smaller Group May Take Action -? -% Plans for the formation of ?in Ameri? can banking pool t<4 extend substantial credits to Cuban Sugar interests in or? der to aid the island in solving its pressing financial troubles have been abandoned. Representatives of several New York blinking institutions inter? ested in the proposed arrangement under which, it was hoped to extend ma??5 ?&?ro?at,n* from $35,000,000 to ?>50.000,000 met in final conference yes? terday, and at the termination of'thc meeting announcement was made that the program had been rejected. One of the bankers who had partici? pated in the discussions which have I been going on for several days in con nection with the projected credit ar? rangement said after the conference that the banks have been unable to agree on a single plah of action, and lor that reason it had been deemed best for each bank to handle the situation as it sees lit. "This means," said the banker, "that ? there will be no concerted action on the part of the group of banks which ; has been considering the formation of : the pool. Wo found on getting to? gether in a series of informal con ferences that there was too great a divers ty of interests among the banks to make it possible for us to join hands. \ Some of the banks have branches in Cuba, others have made loans there through agents and others were not - directly concerned, although they have ' been a party to the discussions. It is now a case of 'go as you please' on the part of the banks so far as making ad? vances to Cuba." The inability of the large banking group to get together harmoniously in a program for a dug Cuba does not preclude the possibility of concerted action by a smaller group, it was hinted by bankers who still believe that some plan will be worked out ultimately for meeting the situation. It was inti- . mated that the National City Bank or : the Guaranty Trust Company might take independent action to th s end, al though officials of these institutions would make no statement on the mat- j ter. Hankers who have studied the Cuban situation at close range declared yes- '. t.erday that all that can be done now to ? help things 'will bo an extension of the j moratorium. Action to this end is be- '. lieved certain within the course of the m p fortn g.ht, s r.ce the moratorium ? .pires on December 1. The carry-over of the last Cuban sugar crop, now stored in warehouses - . island, is estimated at 250,000 1,1 DO tons, according to a compe- ; tenl authority. Cuban banks have loaned heavily aga nst this sugar, und in many cases at prices considerably above the current market quotations. One of .. '- ? f "?' reliev- ? ;.,.- ? '??' ? ? '??? "'? the New -.

Proposals foY o large Cuban govern- j ment aocurity offering in this market | which were under discussion several weeks ago have been long since aban? doned, owing to the impracticability of obtaining the necessary legislation to make the transaction possible. Bankers intimately in touch with conditions in the principal South Amer? ican countries painted a gloomy pic? ture of conditions there yesterday. The rise of the American dollar to a record premium has caused an almost com? plete stoppage of business among the United States and Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. A moratorium has already been declared in Paraguay, and it would not surprise bankets here to see similar action taken in some of the other countries which arc unable to sell their goods, and for that reason cannot meot obligations in? curred on imported products.

October, 1908. The bankers in tiieii I circular to holders state that default I was made in the payment of the inter ? est on these bonds on May 1, 1014, an? | that since May 1, 1919. default has als? been i mode in the sinking fund pay ments provided for the redemption o these, bonds. Payment of principal, in terest and sinking fund is uncondi tionally guaranteed by indorsement b the Mexican government.

I ever, to have publicly declared that tl pew Mexican government 'will reco ! r.ize all legal foreign debts' and th all its debts will be paid 'as far as pc sible.' "There are a number of foreign loft of the Mexican government secured a unsecured and other guaranties giv I.y it, on which default has been ma< ? as well as a large amount of oth ! claims against it, which will have to | recognized and provided for by t i Mexican government. i "We therefore consider it imports : that the holders of the above bor ' should unite without delay for 1 ! proper and effectual protection of th j interests." Temporary certificates of depo ? will bo issued by the depositary i I changeable for engraved bearer cert I cates and it is planned to list the c ! tificates on the New York Stock 1 j change.

Would purchase City of Mcfl treal 6b, due 1947, at 76, be advlsablo? ?S. B. A Answer?The Atlant? & Charlotte Air Line 5 per cent bonds are hiafh grade. The present price ts about Bit. There are, of course, many issues available which -would yield more than these bonds, but in obtaining a highey ' yield you may be weakening your ii. ! vestment position. We regard the Westinghouse 7 per cent bonds, 19.31, i recently issued, as a good investment/' They yield about I1.*, per cent, but the/ ? I are not secured and are, of course, not entitled to as high a rating as the At? lanta & Charlotte. Some of the recent issues of 7 per cent railroad equip? ments are entitled to good ratings, buk practically all sell at from two to four points premium, and we do not suppo-.-e you care for a premium bond. The City of Montreal 5 per cents, 1947, were issued by the Catholic School Commission and are an obligation, both of that commission and of the City of Montreal. They sell for about 76 in New York, which means about 88 per cent in Canada. The bonds arc payable in Canadian currency, and therefore ! you are speculating upon Canadian ex? change. We regard them as safe, so far as principal and interest are eon?* cerned. There are several issues of good, seasoned, preferred stocks which stand well. Among them are United States Steel, American Car and Foun? dry, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Na tional Biscuit and American Tobacco. Holds Block of American Ship Question?Plenae advise me what you i think of American Ship and Comnfferce. I hold a Uirire block of stock ai /bout 30. Please advise me as to the ea,*hlnsa, ?nan- I | agement and prospects. ? I!. It. I Answer?The American Sf.'p and : Commerce Corporation ?/ a holding i company having 669,183 shares of stock : outstanding. The last r?po/t of earn- ; j ings was from July IS, l?l9, to Decem? ber 31, 1919, whoa the equivalent of 17 ' cents a share wa ?^earned. At that time there were on.y 521,005 shares out? standing. Last summer W. A. Harri iriari was elected president to succeed General Goethals. Recently the com- ? pany ha9 formed an alliance with the Hamburg-American Line. The company plans a large expansion program, with what result we cannot attempt to say. We regard the stock as highly specula? tive, not only on account of the large amount outstanding, but because the shipping business is an uncertain one at best.

TO THE HOLDERS j OF $25,000,000 4l/2% Sinking Fund Gold Bonds, due 1943 OF THE "institution for Encouragement of irrigation Works and Development of Agriculture, S. A." (Caja de Pr?stamos para obras de Irrigaci?n y Fomento de la Agricultura, S. A.) 3 Principal, Interest and Sinking Fund Unconditionally ?Guaranteed by the (Mexican Government ?Default was made in the payment of the interest on the above Bonds due May 1st, 1914, and, since May 1st, 1919, default has also been made in the sinking fund payments provided for the re | demption of these Bonds. The payment of Principal, Interest and Sinking Fund is uncon ditionally guaranteed by endorsement by the Mexican Government. Since the above defaults occurred, we have made repeated I efforts, on behalf of the owners of the Bonds, to have the interest and sinking fund installments paid, and to have the Mexican Gov? ernment make good its guarantee thereof, but without avail. General Alvaro Obregon, who has been elected President of the United States of Mexico, and who will assume office on December ' 1 st, is reported, however, to have publicly declared that the new Mexican Government "will recognize all legal foreign debts," and that all its debts will be paid "as far as possible." ? There are a number of foreign loans of the Mexican Govern- jj ment, secured and unsecured, and other guarantees given by it, on which default has been made, as well as a large amount of other * claims against it, which will have to be recognized and provided for ? by the Mexican Government ? jj We therefore consider it important that the holders of the above * ? Bonds should unite, without delay, for the proper and effectual pro- * tection of their interests. To that end we invite holders of the abovo \ mentioned Bonds to deposit the same, with all unpaid coupons at? tached, with the New York Trust Company, as Depositary, at its office, 26 Broad Street, New York, or with its agents, on or before December 31st, 1920, subject to the terms of a Bondholders' Agree? ment, dated [November 18th. 1920. Copies of this Agreement may \ be obtained from the Depositary or at our office, 24-26 Pine Street. Temporary certificates of deposit will be issued by the Deposi Itary, exchangeable for engraved bearer certificates. Application will be made for the listing of the engraved certificates on the New York Stock Exchange. We will make no charge to depositing bondholders for our ser? vices under the Agreement. New York, November 18th, 1920. SPEYER & CO. CADWALADER, WICKERSHAM & TAFT, Counsel. I ii : i Are auch bond? free of taxes? What Is your opinion of auch lnv?;atment ??C. A. B. Answer?There are three issues of I Swedish government internal bonds ! which are dealt in here, tiie 3 peri cent loan of 1888, payable at option of I the government, quote?! between 30 ; and 31, the c .inversion toan 3 per cent,: due 1950, quoted between 31 and 36, and the ',',}-, per cent loan of 1908, due ? after December 20, 1920, quoted be? tween 35 and 36],2. The first loan is in denominations of ?245, ?98 and ?49. The second is in denominations of ?"990, ?495, ?198, ?99, ?49 10s and ?19 10s. The third is in denomina tions of ?1,000, ?500, i'100 and ?20. All quotatioi-s are dollars per 1,000 kronen. The conversion loan is free . of Swedish taxes. We tind no provision in this respect regarding the other.-. The yield ?-aniiot be computed, be- i cause the price of kronen fluctuates I from time to time. Such purchases, are speculative, owing to the fluctua- ; tions of exchange. If you believe | Sweden will eventually be'able to im-? ! prove her trade position with this country, the bonds may offer very good ! opportunities.

Dur? ing the war period the company earned a substantial amount on its capitaliza- : tion, in 1917, the equivalent of $9.85 on 697,299 shares. In 1919 it. earned ?5.66 on 898,227 shares. This is the] Mast report published. Production thus I ? ?'ar this year has shown a considerab falling off, and the. price of the meta! : lias shown a large d id-ease. 1 . may be ! that most copper shares have sorni ! what discounted this condition, ai d for ' that reason the slocks muy offer > i ulative opportunities.

The common stock is speculative, less so, per? haps, than most railroad shares, ! but the fact that the railroad tion is .-'ill more or less uncert; in place- the -lock in this class.
