LIKE NEW YORK CENTRAL.

AOHNN SSN HhNiAs
A. W. Ell am thinking OF max
Ing an investment ia New York
York Central Railroad stock. 10
you think II Is a safe purchase and
as good as any other railroad stock
for a speculation? j am told that
IL is pretty sure eventually TO sell
much higher. despite the fact that
already IL has advanced nearly SO
share from the low point earlier
in the year.
Answer.--Measure by earnings
alone, New York Central does not
rate up with Atchison or Union PaeiAc
or several other big trunk systems
Based on actual operation last year Il
earned S6 share dividend by a mar
gin OF 81. but has produced nothing
for the stock this year. nor have most
OF the other railroads.
1t is too early TO know TO what extent
the Central will benefit by the opera.
tion Of the new railroad rates and
the provisions of the new railroad
law, but II It cannot produce profits
or sufficient volume to pay its divi-
dend, then there will be mighty few
other big railway systems that can
pay their dividends, for, in a certain
way, they are all in the sane boat.
1t would be idle for US to attempt
to forecast future prices. but the
stock has recently been very active
and almost touched the high levels OF
1919 and 1918. 1t is still about $50
under the high OF 1917 and about $50
under the high OF 1916. and it was
paying no more than now. AS a
speculation Central probably is as
good as any OF he rails. but we fail
to see how the rail shares can be
pushed up much higher II the indus
trials continue In disfavor and in
progressive decline.

Credit Extension to
Germany to Be Urged

bales of cotton normally exported
before the war 100000 went 20 Ger
many.
The large accumulation OF coarse
wool stocks appears to be direct
result of the inability OF the Central
European powers to buy their former
quotas.
Abundant evidence is accumulat-
ing to prove that the opening OF
foreign markets IS tho real key to
tho solution OF our present eco
nomic Ills and objection to an extern
sion OF credit to foreign countries Is
becoming less each day. People are
beginning to ask whether il might
not be better to take q chance on
loaninG a billion or so in Central
Europe, rather than go through
period OF reaction and non-produc.
tion in this country while every one
is waiting for prices to touch bottom.
"We already have a stake of some
ten billions OF dollars in Europe and
It ought to be good business to
protect these loans by advancing
the raw materials and food which will
help foreign countries to get on their
feet again.
URGES SMITH BILL PASSAGE.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON has been urging the passage
OF the Smith bill, which authorizes
the Government to extend billion
dollar credit to Germany, taking as
part security the half-billion of Ger
man funds in the hands of the alien
property custodian and taking in ad-
dition a first lien on Germany ahead
of the reparation claims as provided
in the peace treaty.
However, if the plan recently sug-
gested by Henry Morgenthau and
other prominent New York bankers
to make this half-billion credit to
Germany under an Edge law syndi-
cate, can see no objection"
No mere banking arrangement to
facilitate the transmission of goods
will suffice, Mr.. Silver stated. What
must be provided, he said, is money
or credit. Not only would the Gov
ernment he able to make the loan
quicker than a banking syndicate. he
added, but it would be better able to
protect it's interests abroad than
private enterprise.

 Mrs. Morris paired with Miss Hell enc Pollak, both of New York, and they scored at 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. The ma chine like service of Miss Bancroft also made it easy for the New York CTS to break through her service in the first and third sets to turn the tide against the Boston pair.
