Pipe line stocks attracted most at

Oils were fairly steady.
New York Transit and Prairie Pipe

ex-dividend, almost made up its loss.
Southern Pipe Line sagged points,

Mar1e.- Financial Editor
With the exception of 1922. Delaware
d hudson has enjoyed large earning
power for many years, which has given
its securities "A high place among rail
road investment issues. The situation
this year has been abnormal, the cause
being the coal strike, supplemented by
the strike of railroad shopmen. This
has affected earnings so seriously that
1t is doubtful If the company can close
the year without incurring a deficit
after the payment of dividends. The
company, however, is financially sound
and we'll able to incur this deficit, if it
becomes necessary, without impairing
its credit position.

'Estimated. tDecreese.
The comparatively small increase in
gross revenue--estimated for 1929
over lel2 and the very large decreases
IN net and total income can be primari-
ly laid to the coal strike. Ordinarily,
about half of the companys total
height tonnage consists of anthracite
coal, and besides this a considerable
tonnage of bituminuous coal is also
carried. The loss of practically oil Of
this traffic during the coal strike nat
uraily gouged deeply into the COM
pany's earnings.
Earnings for 1929 are estimated
these estimates being based on the nor
mai seasonal variations Of both gross
and net taken in conjunction with ac-
tual earnings to date Of latest month
iy report. Now that the coal and rail
road strikes are over, it is quite pos
sible that earnings during the latter
part Of the year will increase in more
than normal seasonal proportion, so
onat the 1872 actual figures may prove
more favorable than the above esti-
mates indicate.
Dividend Record
The Delaware g. Hudson Company is
one of the Oldest transportation com
panies in the United States. 1t was in
corporated hundred years ago to con-
struct canal from the coal fields of
Fennsylvania to the Hudson River at
hondogt, N. I. The canal was completed
IN 1923, but it was not until later that
f.aiA n Ill
locomotive ever placed on IA railroad in
the Western Hemisphere had it's trial
trip on the Delaware & Hudson tracks
on August 8, 1929. The locomotive was
built in England.
The dividend record of the company
reaches back to 1926, in which wear 2
per cent was paid on its then outstand-
ing capital stock. From 1889 the record
is unbroken, with the exception of the
years 1877 to 1880 inclusive. From
1907 to date the annual rate has been
9 per cent.
Margins of Safety
The margins of safety above interest
rental and dividend requirements are
based on the percentage that income
available for these payments could de-
cline and still cover the full reouire-
ments. Thus in 1912 total income could
nave declined l8 per cent and still have
left enough to cover interest and rem
tails and tho per cent dividend on the
stock. But if total income had de-
ciined GO per cent, interest and rentals
alone would have been earned.
The minus signs in front of the fig
ures for 1929 indicate that the years
total income, as estimated, would have
to increase 10 per cent in order to
cover interest and rentals and 1O4 per
cent IN order to show the per cent
dividend earned on the stock.

Growth of Capitalization and Mileage
"Decrease


Between 1912 and 1922 the operated
mileage increased from 878 miles to
9o9 miles, or 4 per cent. In addition
to its railroad mileage the company
also operates an electric railway sys-
tenn of about 400 miles, single track
equivalent, centering around Albany,
and water system Of some 800 miles
on Lakes Champlain and George. A
little less than half of Delaware & Hud-
sons steam railroad mileage operated
IN the United States consists Of leased
lines, Of which the more important are
the Albany e. Susquehanna and Rens-
selaer & Saratoga. In the table above
the securities of these leased lines out
standing with the public are included
in the capitalization figures.
Besides the mileage above noted
upon which these capitalization figures
are based Delaware & Hudson controls
through stock ownership about 240
miles of Canadian railroad, which gives
1t an entrance into Montreal.
Estimated Property Value
The estimated value of the company's
property - including leased lines - is
Sl24,o00,o00. This is per cent less
than total net capitalization, and if
property value alone were considered
there would remain an equity Of but
SIG share for the company's stock
after the bonds and the outstanding
leased lines securities had been theo-
retically retired at par
Delaware & Hudson, however, pos
sesses assets of large value outside Of
the steam railroad sphere. Some of
these have already been mentioned, but
most important is its ownership of ex-
tensive coal areas in the anthracite
mining district of Pennsylvania, hav-
ing an annual output of around 9,000,-
600 tons. A conservative estimate of
the value of these other assets would
easily add $40 more to the equity value
Of Delaware & Hudson stock.

range Of limestone caverns near Dry
gill, on the high road between Pate

carried out his underground journey
during the night, and alone.
One notable feature Of Mr.. Longs
later discovery is the bell-like notes
of pure musical tone given out by the
vibration Of stalactites on being
gently struck. In one cavern the
colors of the stalactites ranged from
yellow to red, and grayish blue, sug-

Another feature was a series Of
grottoes, where the walls reverberated

The vertical extent of the caverns
from the entrance to the deepest point
reached was between two hundred and
three hundred feet, and the lfneal ex-
