Adams Express Earnings Poor

Qustion--Can you give me some infor-
nation about the Adams Express Com
pany? Do you think this stock is safe :?
! nave 100 shares and paid $40 per share
for IT, Is there any chance OF 1t going
up there again this yeAr?-N. K.
Answer-The Adams Express Com
pany, which was taken over by the
United States government during the
war period and recently returned to
it's owners, has reported very poor
earnings of late. 1t remains now to
be seen how the company will fare
when operated Independently. 1t ap-
pears likely that the stock has dis
counted the situation to large extent,
in which case it might be expected to
benefit from any material improve
ment in earnings.

Mexican ordinarily pays.
It is sometimes a matter OF months
before the order is received Poor
shipping facilities, improper packing
or inadequate shipping Instructions

lean argues, is not fair, a. the Amerl-
can is getting the use Of he money

The European works differently.

Of some reliable bank TO accompany

tee. The bank, usually, must be a
correspondent Of some accredited
European bank. Then the French OF
German merchant can take the order

guarantee on il and the bill OF lading
and discount the amount OF the or

readily done now as it was before the

airy troubles began, but IL is done and
the risk involved is said TO be less

Poor Packing and Shipping
The third complaint against Ameri-
can firms is poor packing. Letters
pour into the chamber Of commerce
saying that goods received at MeXi-
can destinations are in a broken and
jumbled condition, due TO the fact
that they have been Improperly pre-
pared for shipment. The tendency Of
the baggage smasher, marine and
terrestrial, TO throw things around
roughly is admitted TO be unprevent-
able. so the packing must be done so
well that It cant be undone. The
Mexican has paid. the shipper as
sumes no risk. The carriers on land
and sea can't be held, so the buyer is
out
Agents from Europe are pouring
