Street Features
NEW YORK Central.
BY STUART p. WEST
COPYRIGHT. 1921

New York Central was the out
standing feature among the rails
today. Reaching IS and pushing
through that figure, it was selling
at the highest since 1917. The reg
ular dividend at the rate of 5 per
cent has just been declared, so
that it is quite premature to dis
cuss the possible raising of the
rate in connection with the recent
advance in the stock. A much
more plausible explanation lies In
the plans known to be on foot TO
get in the minority stocks of sub
sidiary roads, through exchanging
these stocks for New York Central
stock. The Big Four is one case
and the Lake Erie &Western where
such exchange has been proposed.
If these projects go through, it
will mean a financial consolidation
Of the Vanderbilt lines and the re-
lease for the benefit for the par
ent treasury of valuable equities in
these subordinate properties.
AMERICAN RADIATOR
American Radiator is one of the
specialties which usually has a
movement all of its own but the
present movement is connected
more or less closely with the ad-
vance in Cast Iron Pipe. However,
there is something more than sym
patty in its advance. The company
stands to benefit to large extent by
the increased building operations
/ throughout the country in the next
few years. The common stock sell
ing at around 80 pays only 81 in
dividends. but there is a possibil-
ity that this will be increased in
the near future.

HIGH TAXES FORCE
POOR BRITISH PEER
TO ABANDON HOME

London. - High taxation has
forced another British nobleman to
desert a historic family seat and
seek residence more in accord with
his postwar pocketbook. Hope
ton house, Linlithgowshire, a fine
Italian mansion set in stately do
main of beautiful Versailles gard
ems, one of the finest country es-
/ tateS in Scotland, and the home of
| the Marquis of Linlithgow, is to be
closed. Seventy employees will be
dismissed or transferred to other
work
The estate has been handed from
! father to son since 1903.
Local and imperial taxes are
too much for me-" the Marquis told
an Edinburg interviewer. Like
Jack Sprat and spouse they leave
! nothing. A British noble lord, with
no vote in such matter, is in a class
with paupers and lunatics. Times
are changed and we are changed
with Them he philosophical.
That the position of landed gent
ry of England and Scotland truly
is difficult is evidenced by the fact
that before 1915 the Marquis had
disposed of his pack of hounds and
all his horses except two chargers
for military service. Shooting rights
on his estate also were sold F'urth-
er reductions are said to be impos-
sibla without failure in the duty of
landlord.

ure houses of Scotland The
grounds, dotted with giant trees
and intersected by shady avenues
command splendid views, taking in
the whole sweep OF the Firth of
Forth and the Ochil Hills.
