Answer-Higher rates for the ex-
press companies are being agitated.
Adams Express shares have been ac-
tive and strong of late on the posi-
bility of an increase being granted.

National Acme Comnanv

Question: hold $50 shares of National
Acme stock. which pays around 9 per cent,
and have been considering keeping this stock
as an investment: Will you kindly give me
your opinion of the stock. also any informa-
ton which you have regarding the COM
pany's operations. value of shares from
standpoint of surplus, reserves, etc, back of
it: also. if you think dividends are likely to
continue W. r. w.
Answer-The earnings Of National
Acme Company of 1919 appeared to be
about twice the amount of the divi-
dend. This was before Federal taxes.
Final returns for the year probably
will indicate about IS a share earned
on the stock. 1t pays $3.50 share.
The margin is not sufficient to entitle
the stock to a good investment rating,
in our opinion. On December 81, 1918,
the net tangible assets applicable to
the capital stock were equal to s31 a
share Judging from the policy of the
company regarding dividends, we should
say that unless business shows con-
siderable falling off the dividend will
be maintained

Tobacco Products Earnings Large

Question: am much interested in the
preferred stock Of the Tobacco Products Com
pany and am thinking of increasing my
holdings as l see it is selling at about 50.
In buying this stock it is for investment
purely and l would like TO know the dvi-
dend record of this company and what you
think of the preferred stock an invest
n,ent Have also Northern Pacific and Penn
syIvan:a Railroad stock: The former was
purchased at 81. Would you advise holding
either or both? These stocks were also pur-
chased for investment.--C. a. B.
Answer-The earnings of the To-
bacco Products Corporation have been
such since organization as to enttle
the preferred stock to a very fair in
vestment rating. At present prices the
yield is unusually large. 1t has paid 7
per cent per annum regularly since
organization. Northern Pacific and
Pennsylvania should be considered
speculative until the railroads demon
strate their earning ability under the
new operating conditions. 1t is our
opinion. however, the two roads will be
able to maintain themselves without
much difficulty

Lexington Avenue & Pavonia Ferry

Question: have several Lexington Avenue
& Pavonia Ferry 5s The company defaulted
on the coupons due March l. 1 have been
unable to obtain information here to the
why and wherefore nor have | seen any
comment upon the matter in any New York
paper, nor am I aware that the company is
in the hands of receiver, have | seen
any advertisement of reorganization COM
mittee. Will you kindly give me any in
formation you have concerning this bend ?
Do you think it advisable to keep the bonds
sell them for what they will bring IS.
P H.
Answer-The Lexington Avenue G.,
Pavonia Ferry Railroad was absorbed
some time ago by the New York Rail
ways Company The latter company
was placed in receivership on March
20, 1919. The traction situation in
New York has been one of the chief
items of news here for many months
past. The earnings of the New York
Railways are very poor. No relief in
the shape of increased fares has been
granted nor do the city authorities ap-
pear to be likely at present to agree
to an increase. The Lexington Avenue
bonds sell at present for about 40 per
cent. This price possibly means that
the unpleasant situation has been
rather we'll discounted
