American Tobacco's Business

Consumption Of the products Of the
American Tobacco Company, it is re-
ported, is breaking all records. In the
five months ended with June l it is
reported that net earnings increased
100000 over the corresponding Pc
r0d Of 1sls vi. whs noo the doo gain in gross
annual rate of nearly s5,000,000 in
crease for net and $29, 100000 gross.
If the current rate of earnings is
maintained throughout the year it is
estimated the company will show S11
more a share on it's old common share
capital, after taxes, than it did in 1919.

Pennsylvania r. r. Financing

Although talk of 100000 equip
ment issue by the Pennsylvania Rail
road persists, it is believed that such
financial operation will not take
place in the immediate future, as, be-
ginning tomorrow, the railroads will
have to obtain the consent of the In
terstate Commerce Commission before
selling new security. This will natur-
ally cause delays that would not take
place if the carrier companies had to
negotiate with their bankers. An issue
of pennsylvania equipment trusts
would, of course, require the approval
of the commission, and in view of tho
mass of work before that body at this
time it is probable that it would not
have time to consider this matter for
several weeks at least.

American Linseed

Reports that directors Of the Amer
lean Linseed Company will meet to-
morrow have revived the rumors that
the board may announce the much
talked-of recapitalization plan. All
sorts of stories have been printed con-
corning the nature of the plan, the
latest being that a new preferred stock
will be issued and that the common
shareholders may receive stock divi-
dend. 1t is also said that an announce
ment may be made regarding the ac-
QUESTION of a new company. Linseed
directors have repeatedly disappointed
the Street at past meetings, the usual
statement being made that no action
was taken because of lack of quorum.

United States Rubber

When directors of the United States
Rubber Company meet for dividend
action next Thursday it is believed
that only the regular quarterly divi-
dends of S1.75 on the preferred and 50
share on the common stock will be
declared. There has been some talk
that another stock dividend might be
ordered, but it is unlikely that such
action will be taken at this time, ac
cording to Wall Street opinion. 1t is
understood that earnings have been
maintained at rate thatswould justify
another 121s per cent share distribu-
ton, such as was declared last Janu
ary, but directors are expected to
adhere to the more conservative policy
of taking action only on the regular
cash distributions. Estimates of the
results of operations in the first six
months of the current year place
earnings at about the same rate as
during the first half of 1919.

A Dull Session


There was an entire absence of pub
lie interest in yesterdays stock market
session, but traders apparently
thought it was the better part Of dis
cretion to even up their short con-
tracts over the week end and the ma
jority of issues had short gains when
the closing gong rang on the exchange
at noon. The total turnover of stocks
was easily the smallest for a Saturday
session since the first of the year.
Texas Pacific Coal and Oil was the
leader, and following publication of
statements that the company is devel-
oping its natural gas business moved
up easily, the closing price of 4sas
registering net advance of 2A points
over Fridays last sale. Trading in
this issue topped that in u. S. Steel
common by more than 5000 shares.

In Wall Street
Expect Rate Decision Soon

There is strong undercurrent Of
opinion in the financial district that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will announce its decision on the ap-
plication of the carriers for q freight
rate increase within the next few
weeks. Recent buying Of rails has
been based on the expectation of a
favorable decision. Bankers express
the opinion that such an eventuality
would also help the entire market, as
it would mean that the railroad COM
panies would place more orders for
equipment. A decision in the rate case
is naturally linked up closely with the
deliberations of the Railway Labor
Board and this body has promised that
it will make known it's findings on or
before July 20. This award will be
retroactive from May 1.

Although there was a lull in new

men report that a fair demand for
long term issues continues from in

nation naturally for bonds of high

good income over period Of years
during which the investment market
may return to more normal conditions.
