Germany Considering
An Export Tariff
Measure Aimed to Counteract
Effect of Low Ex.

!SDecial CubIe Cervica

Copyright. 1919, New York Tribune Inc)
BERLIN, Nov 25.-The German gov
ernment intends soon to introduce
bill in the National Assembly impos-
ing an export tariff to counteract the
effect of the low exchange rate. One
government official said to-day that it
would be desirable to remove cause
for complaint abroad of the dumping
of German wares and at the same time
to prevent the expectation of food
products.
At present prices there has been a
strong temptation for German traders
to smuggle food out of the country
In Germany the prices are controlled
by maximum price regulations, but
across the frontier on all sides, prices
are higher and the profit in smuggling
is good.
According to one source, the export
duty will be set by the government
at S per cent, but the Tribune CORES
pondent is informed that the duty will
be movable and allowed to vary with
the rise and fall Of exchange.

Question: would deem it favor if
you would give me your opinion on the
possibilities of the Brooklyn Union
Elevated first 5s,t 1850, and the Kings
County Elevated first as, 1949, going
through the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
reorganization without being touched
DO you think that there are any other
OF the underlying issues that will fare
as we'll as these? G.. F. l..
Answer-Brooklyn Union Elevated 5s
and Kings County Elevated 4s are
fairly we'll secured, and there appears
to be good chance of their going
through reorganization without being
disturbed. We do not think, however,
they are as we'll secured as Brooklyn

Delvatcx Petroleum CORPORATION

Question: have invested in Delva
tex Oil. What are the prospects for
this company? What is the market
value of a share of it's stock? Is there
any immediate prospect of the stock
being traded in on the New York
Curb? l. r r
Answer-The company was incorpo-
rated in May, 1919, and changed the
name to Delvatex Petroleum Corpora
tion in July. 1t owns $4,000 acres of
oil lands in West Virginia and Texas,
has complete modern equipment for
drilling, and has already drilled three
wells in West Virginia. The capital is
S2,5O0,OO0, all of which is outstanding,
par $40. No financial statement has
been published and no quotation is
available. The prospects are uncertain,
as is the case with shares of most oil
enterprises.

Answer-We cannot say that Amer
lean Zinc and Lead preferred is a good
investment. The company showed a
loss for the first two quarters of 1919,
but the outlook is brighter, owing to
the increase in the price of zinc and

Buy Liberties

Queston-Will you kindly give mo
some of your valuable advice? 1 have
limited amount of money-not very
much@and l cannot afford to lose
ary. So, would you let me know if
should invest it in Pennsylvania Rail
road or some industrial bonds? | would
like to draw about per cent interest
if I can, and would like to invest in
something where there is hardly any
risk at all. Would you please state in
your answer what l should buy and
what kind, as l am going to keep on
buying as | save? | would buy Liberty
bonds, but they don't give much inter
est. | would like something SO if
great overturn of market values ever
occurred it would not affect what
have-M. M. S.
Answer-If you are looking for the
greatest possible safety, the thing for
you to do is to forget the yield and
purchase Liberty bonds. We cannot
suggest anything safer. If you buy
Pennsylvania Railroad stock you are
not sure of the per cent dividends,
although the company has long divi-
dend record. But it doesn't have to
pay anything. There are good bonds,
of course, yielding per cent, such as
United States. Steel sinking fund S.,
at about SO. But we believe that If
you buy Liberties you will feel much
easier in your mind when the over
turn you speak of does come. And
don't forget that Liberty bonds yield
mighty well at that.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-26

New Haven VS.. Car and Foundry
Question-Do you consider it would
be wise move to exchange New
Haven stock for American Car and
Foundry in the hope OF doubling ones
money on the latter stock? If not, can
you recommend some other investment
stock with attractive speculative posi-
bilities in exchange for New Haven :?
Please state whether in your opinion
United States Industrial Alcohol and
Cerro de Pasco Copper are good in
vestments at present prices. What ef-
feet would complete prohibition have
on United States Industrial Alcohol p
j. V. B.
Answer-We certainly cannot sug-
gest that you may double your money
in any stock. American Car and Foun-
dry is a large Garner and the company
has always been we'll managed, but we
have no idea what the stock will do.
On the other hand, we firmly believe
that New Haven has seen it's worst
trouble and that it's future will be far
brighter than its recent past. We do
not suggest speculation. United States
Industrial Alcohol and Cerro de Pasco
are both good speculative investments.
CerrO de PascO is said to be one of the
few companies which can produce cop
per below 10 cents. We do not believe
prohibition will have any effect on
United States Industrial Alcohol, as
the company is almost if not entirely
engaged in the production of alcohol
tor commercial purposes.
