Rumors Must Be Ignored

Discussing the multiplying unsettling
reports concerning the general business
situation, a we'll known New York wire
house in n special letter yesterday gave
this sensible and reasonable advice.
1--WE would pay little attention to
current rumors, but would not ignore
facts. If the public Is surprised at
continued adverse trade developments.
they are the only ones who are sur =
prised. Rest assured that big operators
and traders foresaw in October a pro-
cession Of discouraging trade reports:
dividend reductions and omissions md
the state Of pessimism that now pre- =
walls. That Is why we have been in L.
sisting since September that we could
not have a sustained upward movement
until after February. But the big
operators and traders who anticipated
these things sold stocks months ago. and
they are buying them either for cover
ing purposes or for accumulation now
and they are not disturbed by rumors.
"A year ago the rumOr mongerS had
stock to sell, and 80 they had the du
Points buying control Of Pierce Arrow
and Stewart Warner merging with
Bosch. They were mistaken then and
they are just Us wrong now in their
stories that Pierce Arrow preferred div
idend is in danger or Studebaker pro-
ferred dividend Is in danger or that the
Bosch plant Is closing down. We all
know that the automobile industry Is
operating at minimum. But the facts
are bad enough without overstating
them. and II operations were not low the
stocks could not be obtained at current
prices"

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

'fittsbcrgh and West Virginia is one
vi the few roads whose earnings for
september and October are in line with
c"'culations made prior to September l
una are more or less indicative of the
iuture. The total surplus earned in
the two months after all charges was
So56, 449. This is equal to the 6 per
cent on its $O,100,000 preferred stock
lor the year, with balance Of $50,
,VO'0f. These earnings. il continued,
would show an annual rate of over 1O1a 3
per cent on common stock.
IL Will be recalled that the company
is the reorganized Wabash Pittsburgh
terminal, which reorganization was
probably the most drastic in railway
history. The present preferred stock
represents cash paid In. and the com
mon stock the old first mortgage bonds
OF the Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal.
The company il in q particularly favor
able condition, rs since its reorganiza- =
tion it has issued no new securities has
retired over So, 800. 900 OF obligations ;
has put back In capital expenditure over
$500, 900, and has built up cash
position of close to $1,000 900, which Is
being rapidly increased. The valce of
road and equipment is placed at ap-
proximately it's outstanding stocks.
$39, ,60O, 900, leaving its very valuable
coal properties practically as a free
asset.
There has been talk Of the common
stock being placed on a dividend basis.
With the roads strong financial condi-
tion and earning power, It would not
seem unreasonable. especially az the
common stock (the old first mortgage
bondholders) have been without interest
for thirteen years. However, 1t might
be more conservative to await the out
come Of the next few months before
taking such action.

II possibly no parallel in our history
for so great shrinkage in the general
average within periods so restricted ::
at any rate. it cannot be matched in
any corresponding periods after 1907
or 1893 or 1873. Prices on no other
foreign market have shown declines
anywhere approaching ours, unless the
22M per cent decline in Japan in the
three months after March should be 20
considered. The decline in England
from the highest was II per cent. The

French Loan q Rig Success

The Bankers Trust Co.. Of New
York, has received n special cablegrnm
from it's Paris correspondent giving un :
Officially. but from tho best available
figures. an estimate Of the amount real :
i2ed by the new French loan. which
p rpln:es the subscriptions at from
thirty to thirty three billion francs.
This amount is more than twice the
sum subscribed for the February loan
and greatly exceeds the amount realized
by anv previous issue of government Sc
curities. In addition to the enthusiastic
response OF the French public TO the
loan appeal. it IL reliably stated that
several large foreign banks have re-
ccivcd subscriptions exceeding by one
third to one half the subscriptions OBJ
tanned in February.
1t is unnecessary to inquire deeply
into the French financial situation to
realize the Importance of the success
OF the loan to France. On the basis
Of the 1920 budget and preliminary es-
Inmates for 1921. II was calculated that
the amount required to meet deficits in
the extraordinary budgets Of both years
(Which include the amounts appropriated
and contemplated against payments re-
garded as recoverable from Germany
would total twenty four billions. The
new loan has far exceeded this amount.
The success of the loan is to be made
all the more effective by reductions in

have no deficit in 1921. To this end n
reduction of 2G7O. 900 900 francs in
