to keep body and soul together. S

(By "Investor.")
,To the uninitiated the distinction be-
tween shares and bonds is confused by a
similarity of terms. In England the term
"stock" refers to what we know as "de-
bentures" or "bonds"—usually those is-
sued by a municipality or government,
although there are several unimportant
points of difference. The term "stock"
here usually refers to what the English
call "shares"—which term hs beenln sup ex-
ceeded in the States, add
tent 'lore, by the former. Then,
to the confusion, there is a security known
as debenture stock, and there are other
terms more calculated to confuse than
elucidate.referred

However, preferred shares cover quite
variety of classes of themselves, and so
the above description eau be taken only
as a very general outline of the whole..
For example, the dividend on preferred
shares does, of course, depend upon earn-
ings, and in the case of the usual class
of preferred shares, if the dividend is
not paid that is an end of the matter
until the company again gets into aPo-
sition to pay a return to the preferred
aharehtlders. 'nih shares merely in cent

on the preferred before anything can be
paid on the common. Where the shares, 1
however, are "cumulative,' it means that
not only are they preferred, but that•if
the dividend is not paid in any one year
it is still due the shareholder, and 11, as
in the case of Dominion Steel cumulative
preferred shares, the divdend were not
paid for six years, there is a small mat-
ter of 42 per cent. of accumulated divi-
dends coming to the preferred share-
holders before anything could `Yhilpaid

the common. This feature,

year then current was earned, as well as
sufficient for any small dividend—it has

pany's history—which they might receive.

That is, the preferred shareholders have
