FINANCIAL NEWS.

Lewis II. Tappan q company In their
weekly stock letter say:
The average OF 20 OF the leading rail-
road stocks dealt In on the New York
Stock exchange reached 91.2s this week.
this being very near the lowest average
OF the year excepting the record made
by the same railroads on August sth,
1910 This compares with il1.73 the low
figure OF last year and 1895 the high rec
ord OF 1902 on April 2ith. Twelve leading
industrfals averaged 1852 as against 47.3s
ofaAugust sth, this year. and 30. 81 the low
and ss.44 the high OF last year.
From these figures IL will be seen that
the market Is at the lowest for some
months And while the prices have de-
clined in the case OF the railroads some
80 points from the high figures OF last
year, yet the earnings continue to show
large increases In both gross and net over
that period, yet the prospect for good
business holds very good according to re-
ports OF the commercial agencies. 1t
should be borne In mind, however, that
the large majority OF railroads were
capitalized some years ago In accordance
with the earnings at that time and were
almost insignificant as compared with the
present returns. In fact many properties
were reorganized on panic conditions
quite contrast TO the majority OF the
"Industrials" which have been organized
during the past few years when business
was as the crest OF "A wave. And, al
though. Wall street prices for these rail-
roads have in declining close to $40 per
share discounted In n tremendous meas
ure the future decline I'm the country's
business. yet we believe that no better or
safer place for investment can be found
than the securities OF these leading rail-
road systems where gross and net earn
ings as well as operating expenses are a
matter OF record, open TO the public, and
where the gains OF prosperous years are
carried over 10 times when the roads
are run at less profit.
Although a certain share Of the present
traffic which these roads are doing will
without doubt, be reduced. there seems to
be no question but what the resources
OF the country are ample to provide the
necessary business to enable the roads
to pay indefinitely the dividends which
they are paying at the present time
The advice Of the most conservative
interests il TO buy as much good stock
as one can take care OF and hold IL for
the time is not far off when much higher
prizes will be seen.
