tee of Bankers on Mexico, with a view

sentative, were the guests of the Amer
:can banking group at u conference
held at the offices of J. P. Morgan &

cently returned from Mexico, where he
had gone to gather first-hand informa?
tion of conditions.
It was stated on behalf of the Amer?
ican group yesterday that so far no
definite plan for protecting foreign
holders of Mexican securities had been
(i.V. loped. The bankers are still wait?
ing for the new r?gime in Mexico to be
stabilized. The attitude of tha present
Mi xican government toward the bank-1
era is friendly, and hope is expressed ?
by members or* the committee that art
agreement can be consummated in time I
which will make possible ?10 resump?
tion of interest payment v as well as i
ti i i ayment of principal.

last year, and imports were $4,720.000.-1
000, or $1,021.000,000 more than during'

St. Panl Bonds Well Secured
Question?A few weeks ago. you said In
reply to a question that the Chicago, Mil?
waukee & St. Paul Railroad had been
operating rather badly of late. To one
such as I. not thoroughly familiar with
financial affairs, the fact that the road is
"operating rather badly" makes the In?
vestment In its securities a matter of
doubtful wisdom, and yet- I have in mind j
your frequent recommendation of the St.
Paul general 4s as a good buy. If the 1
road is operating month after month at !
a heavy deficit, what assurance has the !
bondholder that the Interest will be paid?
Is It, in your Judgment, better for the in- ;
vestor who can 111 afford to lose any of |
his capital to pay the seventy odd dollars !
extra_ per 11,000 bond and buy such issues '
;.s Northern Pacific 4s, Atchison general i
4s and securities of nt.-rrllar erarte"?
Mrs. I. MacN.
?*#?
?wer?Your question is an inter- j
eating one. We wonder why it has not I
been asked before. The Tribune re- j
ceives a large number of inquiries as !
follows: "Please name five or six bonds i
yielding 8 per cent which are absolute- j
ly safe and which may be placed in '
one's strong box and forgotten." Our ?
answer is, it cannot be done. Why are ;
( nited States government bonds the\
best bonds to purchase? Because they
nre the bonds which fill the wants of j
trie investors above referred to, except!
that United States government bonds i
do not yield 8 per cent. But so many ?
purchasers of ? securities want high!
yields with "absolute safety" that they ?
do not stop to consider that the higher !
the income return the greater the risk, ?
as a general rule. Perhaps The Trib- j
une leans toward safety in its advice to
investor;. There is a good reason for'
such a policy, we believe. No one |
should purchase securities and forget?
them, as the expression goes. It is
every one's duty to keep in touch with
affairs at all times. Conditions are !
forever changing. What was a good ;
security a few years ago may now !
have tallen into the semi-speculative
class. The- Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railroad was at one time one of j
the very prosperous carriers of the i
country. It built its Western exten- !
sion at great cost, and subsequently its
operating ratio has risen enormously, j
The common stock, which paid 7 per I
cent for many years, and sold as high j
?i:i $200 a share, no longer pays divi- I
dends. Indeed, the preferred issue, i
considered at one time a prime se?
curity, has not paid a dividend since |
'017. In consequence of this its
junior lien bonds have fallen consid- I
.erably in price, but the property is a j
very valuable one to-day. nevertheless. !
The general mortgage bonds are an |
absolute first lien on 0,525 miles of '
road and a second lien on 2,371 miles. '
The prior liens amount to less than i
5-12,000 000. This places the general
mortgage in a very strong position. |
In our opinion, no matter what may
transpire, these bonds are entitled to
a high rating. It must be borne in
mind that the results of operation of
the St. Paul for the last two years
should not be taken as a criterion, for
under government control most of the
roads showed poor results. Under its
own management and with increased
rates the road will, in our opinion,
show far better results. And yet, as
you say, if the investor will fortify
himself by purchasing only those is?
sues which are 30 well secured that
there can be little doubt about their
security he *>will have no cause for
worry. His income will be smaller but
his principal will be safe.
Widow Is Left Speculative Stocks
Question-?With til? less of rr.y husband
T have no one left to advise me, so I take
this means of asking you to help me. My
husband left mo 160 shares of United
States .Steamship Company for which ho
pal i $6.50 a s;-ar^: VO'in sha-es of Lyone
Petroleum at $1, 500 Allied Oil at $1, 50
Middle States Oil at $24 or $2? Please
?avis?! me what I shall do. I get letters
every week from different brokers ad?
dressed to my late husband. Some advise
him to change with them for some other
(no doubt worthless) stock, others advise
me to buy more at the present low prices
and make my present holdings cheaper,
and so on. C. W. .Morse i- Co. send me
pamphlets tell'.r.g what great holdings the
United States Steamship Company has. but
T see the stuck Is only worth about $1.60 a
share. Why la the stock worth so little?
lu Morse on the level? I have very little
money. Will you kindly a,'.vise me if 1
shrill iell any of the above stocks, or shall
I Invest a little more money In any ono of
the above stocks??Oirs.) M. W.
Answer?We do not know to what
extent you are dependent upon the se?
curities left to you. In any event, all
arc highly speculative, and we 6o not
believe it wise for you to hold them if
you cannot afford to assume risks. Our
advice to you would be to sell these stocks
and invest the proceeds in sound divi?
dend-paying issues. We have heard
much talk about the great future of
the United States Steamship Com
pany. Perhaps it will yet materialize.
I; certainly has not done so as yet, and
so long as you hold the stock you are
speculating, in our opinion. The oth?
ers ave oil stocks, about as speculative
as one can find. Would you not feel
safer and more contented if you pur?
chased sound bonds and preferred
stocks, 3uch as we mention almost
; daily?
