little to Justify the startling rise In
that stock from 24ls IN March. 1918.
to "a, in October OF that year. Net
earnings were only s517,32b for 1915.
as compared with $631.5O3 in 1914 and
$2.03l.o7l In 1913. The surplus avail
able for dividends was equal TO but

while in 1913 the company earned COZ
