The strong- position of Canadian
credit in the United States was shown
again this week by offering of $100,-
000. 000 5 per cent gold bonds of the
Dominion Government. The subscrip
tion books were opened Tuesday morn
ing at the office of J. P. Morgan &
Company, syndicate managers, in New
York, and were closed at noon with a
heavy oversubscription.
The bonds will be due May 1, 1952,
and will be redeemable as a whole at
the option of the government of the
Dominion of Canada on and after May
1, 1942. Both principal and interest
are payable in, gold at the agency of
the' Bank of Montreal in New York
City. It is estimated that more than
$500,000 of the bonds were taken by
banks and Investment dealers in Port
land. Canada borrows at a lower rate
of interest than the United States or
any foreign government. Canada is
the best customer of the United States
for our exports. The identity of lan
guage, customs and ideals gives the
two countries a common understand
ing such as is enjoyed, perhaps, by no
other two great nations of the world.
Bonds to be Sold
There will be sold in the United
States $200,000,000 additional Domin
ion of Canada bonds before the end of
the year. Canada has a population of
about 9,500,000 and the estimated na
tional wealth is $19,000,000,000. The
area of the Dominion is 3,603,910
square miles, compared with the Unit
ed States area is 3,627,557 square
miles, including Alaska, Hawaii and
Porto Rico. Canada's debt is about $2,
000,000, or about $210 per capita,
which is just a little more than the
per capita debt of the United States.
A new offering of securities this
week that is attracting attention is
that of the 7 per cent preferred stock
of the Crown Willamette Paper Com
pany. This is one of the strongest and
most' prosperous institutions on the
Pacific Coast and its shares have pre
viously been closely held. This block
of stock was purchased from one of
the stockholders who had held it since
the organization of the company.
Another large bond issue of the
, week was $45,000,000 Empire Gas &
I Fuel Company 15-year gold 7 per
cent bonds due May 1, 1937. These
bonds were offered by an Eastern
syndicate in which a number of Port
land dealers participated, at 98.50 and
interest, to yield 7.65 per cent. This
issue wag heavily oversubscribed. The
Empire Gas &Fuel Company is owned
by the Cities Service Company, whose
shares are traded in actively on the
New York Stock Exchange and have
recently been quoted around 200.
Market is Strong
The .strength of the bond market is
indicated by the current quotations
for Liberty bonds, which have touched
par this week.
The City of Pendleton, Oregon, on
Wednesday sold $85,000 30-year 5 per
j cent Bewer bonds and received a dozen
bids. The bonds were purchased by the
Harris Trust & Savings Bank of Chi
cago at 102.16, which represents a new
high mark for bonds of Oregon muni
cipalities outside of Portland. This
price makes the Baker County bonds
offered by several Portland dealers
this week look very attractive.
Money is plentiful and cheap; the
call rate in New York is around 3
per cent and time loans are made at
4 to 414 per cent.
Settlement in Sight
Successful consummation of long
protracted negotiations between bank
ers of the United States and Europe
and the Obregon Administration for
the funding and re-organization of the
Mexican government's external debts
and internal debt held abroad is ex
pected in the financial district to re
sult from the formal acceptance by
Adolfo de la Huerta, Mexican Minister
of Finance, of an invitation to attend
a conference in New York late next
month with American and foreign rep
resentatives of the international bank
ing committee. The amount of Mexi
can Indebtedness, either involved di
rectly or affected by the negotiations
and inclusive of accrued interest and
amortization charges in default, was
authoritatively estimated last week at
more than $758,000,000. A virtually
complete compilation shows that Mex
ico's direct debt, including guaranteed
railway bonds, amounts to $322,000,
000, on which there was in default as
of January 1, 1922, $111,000,000 in
oerdue interest and more than $20,000,
000 in past-due sinking fund payments.
This total includes the internal 3 per
cent silver loan of 1876 and the inter
nal 5 per cent silver loan of 1884, ag
gregating $67,000,000; much of which
are held abroad.
In addition to these direct obliga
tions there are outstanding $230,000,
000 railroad loans that do not bear
the Mexican government's guaranty,
on which $71,000,000 in overdue inter
est and about $6,000,000 in amortiza
tion charges are in default. The de
faults apply to interest and sinking J
fund payments, but technically the
bulk of the principal is also in default
under the terms of the indenture un
der which most of the bonds were is
sued. Public Debt Decreased -
A decrease of $334,000,000 in the
public debt during March was an
nounced by the Treasury. On March
31 the public debt stood at $23,144,616,
493 as compared with $23,478,667,789
on February 28 and with $23,438,984,
351 on December 31, 191, the end of
the previous quarter.
Income and profit taxes during
March totaled $398,382,045 as compar
ed with $727,543,549 for March of last
year, while for the fiscal year to date
collections from these sources totaled
$1,711,633,748 as against $2,480,481,849 i
during the corresponding period of
last year. Ordinary receipts of thejl
government during the month aggre-1 1
gated $550,757,683 compared with jf
ii,Dii,uu4 m inarcn 01 last year, and ls.
ordinary expenditures aggregated'
$325,954,938 as against $536,476,360
during March 1921.
Public debt receipts for March to
taled $1,368,440,355, compared with
$891,017,911 in March of last year, and
public debt expenditures for the month,
were $1,702,091,651 against $962,598,242
in March of 1921. The decrease in the
public debt during March, officials
say, was accounted for mainly by the
redemption of $530,000,000 worth of
certificates of indebtedness; while only
$260,000,000 of these securities were
sold during the month.
Northern Pacific Financing
Application of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for permission
to sell at not less than 90 sufficient
5 per cent refunding and improvement
bonds to retire its share of the $230,
000,000 Northern Pacific-Great North
ern joint 6 's is said to be based pri
marily on the desire to reduce the
road's interest charges. Of the $115,
000,000 total, only about $7,000,000
have been converted into Northern,
Pacific 6's. It is expected that the fil
ing of the application will induce many
holders to exercise the conversion
privilege but that some will desire to
be paid off at the redemption price of
103.50. There has been no indication
as yet of any rush to convert, but there
is time for this later. All of the Great
Northern's share of the joint 6's
have been converted into the 7 per
cent ' bonds of that company, issued,
simultaneously.
