Answer-1t seems to us that the
question OF whether or not you should
sell your Pennsylvania stock should be
decided independently Of whether or
not ~ rises again to the price you paid
, tor it. In fact if It should again sell
at tho price you paid for 1t, that fact
would represent the judgment of The
market that the stock had good pros
poets Of again resuming it's place as
an investment security. What YOU
must decide is whether or not Won
should sell your stock now. at current
market prices, taking the resultant
loss. You should do so, in our oninion
unless you feel that you are in a
position to speculate with the amount
OF money represented by the present
market value of the stock. Pennsyl-
vanla Railroad was affected adversely

but 1T was also one of the roads that
were hurt by the shifts in the stream
OF railroad traffic introduced bv The
railroad Administration. The result
was tnat upon the return of the rail
roads to their owners the management
OF the Pennsylvania met conditions
even more difficult than those which
tell to the lot of the railroads in
genera. Great progress has been made
in getting the company back to sound
pasls, but there is still good deal to
be done and whether even the ability
winch has already been displayed will
ne sumclent to overcome the remain
ing difficulties, is still, in our iudr-
ment, an uncertain question. We think
tnat the pennsylvania will be able to
retain its present dividend rate and
soon to resume higher rate, but we
DO not regard the matter as reasonably
certain and therefore we advise you to
sell your stock unless you can afford
TO speculate on the question. In selling

OF course, Immensely strengthen your
Investment position, but you would ma
tterlaiiy reduce your income. It seems
TO US that you would do better to
invest the proceeds from the sale of
fennsylvania stock in American Tele-
Phone and Telegraph stock. You could
BUY five shares of this stock with the
proceeds OF your Pennsylvania and you
would receive an income Of $45 per
annum instead Of the $40 which you
now receive and we believe that YOU
would have better investment than
you have now.

OF the Supreme Court directing the
Crucible Steel Company to paw $3.50 =
OoO to one S. w. Taylor as commission
on war contracts, Horace S. Wilkinson.
chairman Of the board, stated that a
reserve had been already set aside for
this purpose in the event that the su;t
went against the company. The suit
arose out OF transactions which took
place before Mr.. Wilkinson became ac-
u Tive IN the management of Crucible.
Il me company has already paid to Mr..
Taylor 100000 awarded bv the inr,, =,

OF 100 shares sold at 1855 and added

LIN Wall Street
Friday the Thirteenth

Broader interest and strength in the
stock market, continued advance and
active trading in bonds and marked
ease in money were characteristic Of
yesterday in Wall Street, not bad
record for Friday the 18th. The stu
alton and the markets generally were
out of accord with the traditions of the
day and date, but their influence was
not wholly lacking. Whether due to
genuine superstition or to whim, some
business was held over that would or
dlnariIy have been transacted. One for
clgn exchange dealer, for example, re-
ported that several customers had put
IN orders that were not to be executed
until this morning. The coincidence Of
the day and date was we'll to the fore

standing in the situation respecting
Mexico's external debt. Present indi-
cations, however, are that the process
of arriving at final settlement will be
slow, and the sum total of recent de-
velopments in the conversations can
not be regarded as representing prog
ress Of great import, according to the
best information available in Wall

MACDONALD AND
WESLEY BARRY IN FILM


For the first time in the career of
either star, Wesley Barry has been
cast in a production with Katherine
Macdonald, in her starring vehicle,
ssStranger Than Fiction" which will
be shown at the Wilson Theatre
TODAY.
This attraction which is offered by
the Wilson Theatre, as Miss Mac
Donald's latest release through Asso-
ciated First National Pictures, is
from an original story by Charles
Richman and A. S. LeVino. For
bright comedy-drama that sparkles
with originality and clever situations
this is declared to be one of Miss
Macdonald best pictures.
Wesley Barry takes the part of
| 'FreckIes," role that is somewhat
reminiscent of "Dinty" in that it
places him in the part of poor little
orphan whom Fate has placed among
crooks and in slum atmosphere. The
little fellow attracts the attention of
IDiane Drexel, society girl, played
by Miss Macdonald, during one of
lher visits to the slums. She takes
him into her fashionable home. Some
splendid comedy situations arise as a
result of the fact that 13-year-old
