Cancellation of orders which had
been placed for many thousands of
tons of shipping was discussed at
length. 1t was said there was no
ways to remain idle, however, es-
pecially so long as the prohibition
against acceptance of contracts for
foreign governments remains.
The cancelled contracts will be re-
placed with new orders when the
ways are empty. but the prices are
expected to be considerably below
those prevailing during the war,
which sometimes ran as high as $3.50

.22 TRUCK FIRMS
AT THE SHOW
Practically Every Type of
Trucks TO Be on EXhibi-
ton Next Week

There will be twenty-five firms OF
Harrisburg and vicinity represented at
the big Truck and Tractor show which
will be held next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday following the wind up of
the Passenger Car show in the over
land Harrisburg Company's warerooms
at goth and Derry street as we'll as
several tractor firms.
This is the first experience of the
Harrisburg Motor Dealers Association
to hold separate truck show and was
only attempted this year because of the
lack OF space TO hold the passenger
car and truck show together. This same
proposition was worked out successfully
at both the New York and Philadelphia
shows and will prove a big success in
Harrisburg. Practically every business
man is interested in trucks and as we'll
as the farmer and large attendance is
predicted. This is a rare opportunity
for observing the many trucks together,
as in other years there was not the
necessary space TO show but few of the
truck models and many of the dealers
consumed most OF their space for pas
senger cars
Following is a list of the firms repre-
sented and the number of their booth:

You have stated correctly the sub

hy services Credits are a deferred
form Of cash. but no European cour-
try is IN a position either 20 ship
gold or TO give us credits They
certainly are not in q position at
prese-.t TO ship goods on any larrs
scale. nor are We IN a position where
they can render us adequate services.
W. must help those other nations
who are our debtors by aiding them
70 help themselves. This means We

Question--Kindly give opinion con-
corning safety of investing in Manila

ration three year per cent gold notes.
H. E. T.
Answer-Three year 7 DER cent
notes Of Manila Electric Railway and
Lighting Corporation were offered bv
Fairbright & Co. and j. G.. White <
Co. recently at 981a and interest. Net
earnings Of company are reported to
be over twice interest charges, in
Guiding interest ON these notes. Margin
of safety would appear to be ample.
Qucstion-Can you give me any in
formation regarding Virginia Brown
brothers per cent certificates? Bonds
sold twice this year rs high as 731s-
"a and have now receded 80 that I no.
ticc $1,000 worth of them sold at 81
the other day. Why this depreciation
in a security of this kind, which I
understand Is transferable, dollar for
dollar, for West Virginia's new issue Of
"a per cent tax exempt bonds ATS.
Answer-There has been a long de.
lay in settlement Of West Virgins debt

stand that on November /, in Rich
mond. master will be appointed for
purpose OF distributing the securities,
That will probably take some time, and
in meanwhile holders Of Brown Broth
ers certificates arc Carrying their
securities, which cost money to carry.
we think you are misinformed regard
Ing amount you will receive in new
bonds. We believe it will, at outside
amount to not more than 80 per cent
Expenses of this litigation were great,

over.
Question-By inheritance own
small lot of stock-Standar Oil of
New Jersey, and all "subs" Dividends
from same are sufficient to make my
few remaining years very easy and
comfortable. Friends who know little.
II anything, of investments urge me to
sell and put proceeds into real estate
or mortgages, saying that, no matter
what happens, real estate cannot burn
up, nor mortgages go smash, whereas
Standard Oil stocks are risky specula-
ton. Please advise me what to do
T. S. P.
Arswer-Standard Oil companies
cover such a wide field in oil industry
that 1t Is not as though your invest
ments were in just one class of security.
Their affiliated companies have long
dividend records and have been con-
servatively managed. We should say,
Leave we'll enough alone" and hold on
to your investments. There is an ele-
ment of speculation in them. but as
long as you are interested only in She
income and not in market speculations
we do not think you need worry. 1t
is by no means impossible to lose
money in real estate or mortgages.
Question-Can. you give me any ad-
vice regarding Silver King of Arizona?
| bought 100 shares at Lie, as was
informed by friend it would go up to
3 before the end of year. AS it is now
lowering around Is l do not know
whether to sell it and pocket loss or
hold on.--A. ]. H.
Answer-There has been consider
able speculation in silver mining stocks
lately, largely due to fact that price
of silver is highest in years. But cost
of operating most low grade mines is
so high that it is purely speculative

venture your loss is not great at pres
