Stutz Motors

Stutz Motors added another chapter to
it's stock market history when it leaped
yesterday to SS7, setting a new high
the fresh squirt in this rapid performer
was that it occurred in a market that
was extremely irregular, with the
trading element worried over the rise
in call money rates to IL per cent. Stutz
displayed early weakness, but soon re-
covered from it's sinking spell. It
was made. When most other stocks
were showing substantial net losses
Stutz actually registered a net gain of
II points. The turnover in the stock
was only slightly more than 5000
shares. The fact that some 80 per cent
of the outstanding stock of the COM
pany is held by one interest has led
many stock market followers to steer
clear of Stutz as speculative medium.
Professional bears particularly are said
to be wary about getting overextended
on the short side.

New Sinclair Financing Expected

Reports were current In Investment
circles yesterday that the Sinclair
Consolidated Oil Corporation Is
planning TO- do some new financ-
ing to carry out a program, in
volving an increase in its tank
ship tonnage capacity. It is be-
lieved that the expected financing will
take the form Of a note issue coz
vertible into stock at price several
points above the current market quo
tations. The company, 1t Is under
stood, is in need of moro tankers to
carry oil out of Mexico. The corpora
tion is now producing and selling
Mexican crude at the rate Of approx
mately $4,000 barrels dav, COM
pared with the total movement of
about 245,0oo barrels daily. The
Standard Oil Company, of New Jersey,
is buying daily from the Sinclair in
terests $4,000 barrels of light Mexican
crude, or at an annual rate of more
than 100000 barrels. The first of
the additional tank ships of the Sin
clair company now building will be
delivered in April. Others are under
construction, and by the end Of 1920
operating between Mexico and other

pany could easily use twenty more.

Prosperity and the Railroads

John Muir, in discussing the gen
eral railroad situation yesterday, de-
clared that there is hundred times
greater need for an era Of swift rail-
road building now than in the joyous
days of contractors subsidies. "Then"
he said, cit was for the individual,
now it is for the people. This coun
try, rich in resources for which the
whole world now calls, needs an i'm
mediate building up and extension of
it's transportation system. The neces-
sites and raw supplies of our coun
try are scattered far and wide and
we cannot now bring them promptly
to places of manufacture or con
sumption. Does not prompt and
speedy transportation affect the price
and maintain the ability to compete
with and meet the demands of the
people all over the world? AS the
railroads run, so runs the prosperity
of the country"

Anaconda Copper

The Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany, it was reported yesterday, has
cleared up its differences with the gov
eminent over Federal war taxes. The
Inspiration Consolidated Copper Com
pany's tax schedules were approved
some time ago. 1t was claimed by
government officials that a number Of
the large mining companies, including
Anaconda, Inspiration, Kennecott,
Utah, Ray, Chino and Nevada, had not
paid enough in war taxes covering the
war years period to 1919. In the case
of Anaconda and Inspiration it was
held that these companies charged off
too much COR depreciation and deple-
ton. and therefore owed the govern
ment approximately $4,50O,OOO each.
1t is understood that the decision of
the Department OF Internal Revenue
has been in the case of these two com
panles that their charges for depreci-
alton and depletion were proper. The
matter of the war taxes of the other
companies has not yet been settled.

Columbia Gas

The move in Columbia Gas and Elec-
trio yesterday was quite widely tipped
as being the forerunner of still fur
gossip of the Street that strong
pool has been formed to handle
the market in the stock. 1t was
one of the strongest spots in the
market, getting up to 64as, closing
about at the top. The rumor in con-
nection with the strength of this issue
had it that a large block of stock
which had been overhanging the mar
ket has been taken over by private sale.
The company issued its report for 1919
last week, showing s6.51 a share earned
on the S5O,000000 capital stock, COM
pared with $3.50 in 1918.
