roads have been going down In the
esteem Of investors. The roads
have faced one year after another
OF small increases OF earnings, OF
rapidly mounting taxes and ex-
penses. OF curtailment OF new build
ing. extensions and equipment. A
great total OF mileage has been
forced into receivership.
II II the Judgment of experts that
the time Is near for the beginning
OF an upswing OF prices OF good rail
road stocks. The roads which have
weathered eight years OF adversely
are looking forward, to years OF In
creasing earnings. They are trim
med against extravaganza, and they
believe that a more friendly feeling
exists for them among state legtsla-
lures and In Washington.
The war In Europe has cost the
railroads some business, but now II
seems to be adding more to their
income; certainly with the growth
OF manufacturing and the prospects
OF great crop ahead. earnings
ought to rise. When figures Of bet.
ter earnings begin 10 come out. tho
prices OF railroad stocks will go up.
Keep this In mind.
