compared to its last years contracts,
the New York Central alone has rush
orders for fifty engines.
The Pennsylvania will show 4 per
cent earned on it's stock and the di-
rectors are almost pledged to the
per cent dividend. The increased short
interest is more than enormous and so
far they have not been at all fright
ened. On every advance the bears have
simply sold more stock to average. If
