One aspect of the sit.alon in the
Street is OF interest.
Taking the broad view of affairs
we are now in a period when the
companies who benefited by the war
business are no longer looked to TO
produce such huge earnings as they
have in the past, whereas railroads
fractions, and public utilities natural
ly benefit from the declines that have
taken place in the costs of materials
and face a prospect where they car
begin to show a profit.
This has already been demonstrated
