Question: I own two Interborough
bonds for which I paid SO. What
would you do in my place? I also
have few conservative railroad bonds
bought few years ago. They have
deprecated about $3.50 per cent.
Would you keep same? I have fifty
Tobacco Product Exports, bought at
per cent. They went down as low
as % within a week of my purchasing
date and are now about Sc. Would
you hold them IN. M. A.
Answer: Depends upon whether In
terborough Rapid Transit Company
gets relief, for which it is asking, in
nature of increased fare. With higher
costs OF labor and supplies and same
five cent fare, the statement has been
made by counsel for company that
receivership will follow. Just what
status of refunding per cent bonds
would be in event of city taking
over property, we are unable to de-
termine. 1t would seem, however. that
the situation has been rather we'll dis
counted. Same may be said regarding
most railroad bonds. But there would
appear to be no particular reason to
sell them at this level, unless YOU
found you could increase your income
by buying, say, highgradc preferred in
dustrial stocks. Tobacco Products Ex-
port stock naturally fluctuates with
general market. Company anticipates
considerable expansion, and outlook
would appear favorable, but we cannot
advise you regarding your holdings.

WAsHINoroN, Oct. 4.-The Federal
Electric Railways Commission. appoint
ed by President Wilson to investigate
the serious financial plight of the trolley

the mass OF testimony gathered during
the last two months.
Those heard at the final sessions were

Commerce Commission, Milto T. Malt
bic, formerly Public Service Com
missioner In New York city; Edward w.
Bemis of Chicago and C. Oscar Deasley
of Philadelphia, representing the United
business Mems Association of that city.
Discussing the situation in New York
city, Maltbie suggested that surface
lines might better their situation some
what by development Of the short haur
traffic, employing near terminals and
, leaving the long hauls to the subwayl
and elevated lines.
Because many companies expected the
| growth of business to take care of de-
| probation, he said, they are now with
out depreciation funds and cannot raise
| more capital for up to date equipment.
With present conditions, Maltbie con.
| tinued, II would be only fair to removs
some of the special taxes street railway,
must bear, as they were imposed on th'
| theory that 1t was one way for th'
| public to share in the large profits
which the companies were claimed to b,
