try's best known periodicals devoting much attention to country life contains offers to sell two of Pomfret's fine coun- try estates. There is special interest in Pomfret and in Putnam in the fact that the beautiful Bradley estate is being of fered for sf5,O00. No price is fixed in the announcement offering the Thomas Harrison estate, but it is understood to be around s40.0oo.
 Deaths in the Bradley and Harrison families are responsible for bringing the two fine country places into the market It is not likely that a purchaser for either of them will be found in this vi einity, but it is believed that they will be sold by the trust companies handling the estates probably during the present season.
 The Bradley estate contains 450 acres and is one of the most beautiful places in southern New England.

ALSO the prospects of the above corpora
tons business. Also the prospects and
earnings OF the Pierce Arrow Motor stocks
J X. ''0N"S'
Answer-W burlington Pump and Ma
chinery has shown very good earning
power for the last three years In 1917
the equivalent of 1854 per cent was
earned on the common stock, and in
1918 1898 per cent, and in 1919 1929
per cent. The company is said to be
well supplied with goods. However
the common stock is not entitled to a
good Investment rating, as it is not
seasoned, having been placed on a divi-
dend basis April Is last. Such stocks
are mighty sensitive to earning power.
The Class 7 per cent preferred stock
IS much sounder investment. Pierce

equivalent OF $b.76 a share on the com
mon stock in 1919, against sl3.o8 in
