Worthington Pump

Unofficial estimates in the financial
district place the earnings of Worth
ington Pump and Machinery for 1920,
after all charges and after writing in
ventory way down, at S2,100,000 net.
This would be equivalent, after allow
ing for the preferred dividends, to be-
tween S8 and SO share on the COM
mon. In 1919 the company earned SIT
a share. Since April, 1916, more than
s1O,OOO,oOO has been put back into the
property from earnings. AS result
working capital has been increased
more than $9,000,0O0, and stands at
approximately $20,00O,000. At the end
of 1920 the company had no floating
debt and cash of about $4,000, ,O00.
Those close to the affairs of the com
pany say the new year was entered
with sufficient business to keep the
plants running for five months.

:. Representatives of the Missouri.

received no reply as yet to the request
to the Dutch bondholders for their ap-

effect. The Dutch bondholders, it
is understood, have determined to
liquidate their holdings in this market.
which is made practicable by the diff

No Rubber Financing

Persistent rum0rs afioaE since the
publication of the annual report Of the
United States Rubber Company to the
effect that the corporation would bor-
row upward Of S25, 600 600 to provide
additional working capital were set at

such action does not exist"
Bulling the Rails
Notwithstanding the recent pessi-
mistic outgivings of railway officials
regarding the present status and i'm
mediate outlook of the transportation
industry and the rather unfavorable
operating statements issued of late,
certain Wall Street houses are advis-
ing the purchase of railroad stocks
every time they sell off during COM
ing weeks in response to monthly def
cits and labor threats" The point is
made in particular that the rails should
be bought not for trading fluctuations,
but for major profits ON a long-puli
speculation. practically every road"
says a prominent wire house, will
show deficit for January. Most roads
will probably show deficit for Feb
ruary. Some will for March. But by
April the deficits will be ended. Be-
cause of these operating conditions no
one now wants the rails. But this is
just the time they should be bought by
those who prefer business opportuni-
ties to gambling risk"

The Dollar i'm FOREIGN Excg,anoe

The reaction of 3 cents in sterling
rates yesterday was not altogether un-
expected in view Of the recent striking
advance. Especially was the setback
expected as reflection of the state
ment of j. Austen Chamberlain. Brit
ish Chancellor of the Exchequer, that
Great Britain intended to make pro
vision for paying interest due on the
American debt in the next fiscal year
beginning April /.
Some bankers were impressed with
the belief that the recent advance
served to permit British bankers to
sell sterling at the higher rate and
obtain dollar credit in anticipation of
meeting the interest payment of which
the Chancellor spoke. This course was
followed last year when Great Britain
was preparing to meet her share of
the Anglo French loan. The interest
payment next year is expected to be
we'll over $300,000,000.
Demand sterling reacted to $3.88A
at the close. French francs also were
lower and other Continental rates were
easier. Rates on Canada continued to
recede sharply and the premium on
New York funds in Montreal amounted
to $151.25 per $1,000, while the dis
count on Montreal funds here increased
to $131.38, making the Canadian dollar
l worth less than 81 cents.
