means your hair is weak, slck--possi-

What's Behind
Active Stocks !?
76--Miani Copper

The Miami Copper Company is
one of the few units in the copper
industry that have maintained div
idends without omission since the
end Of the last boom in copper. For
two and half years the rate has
been So a share, or 40 per cent, on
stock of SIS par value. The Miami
company was Incorporated in 1907
and owns 2,273 acres of land in the
Arizona field. 1t is capitalized for
s3,735,570, all common stock of So
par value. There is no funded debt.
AS of December 81, 1921, the date
of the last balance sheet, property
and equipment were carried at $751;
100000. Current assets totaling
$7,737.0 900 exceeded current liabili-
ties by S6,311 900. Although the
profit and loss surplus has been de-
pleted during the last few years BY
the payment of unearned dividends,
the company had at the end of 1921
paid-in surplus of $19,577, 900.
Figured ON the basis of the latest
balance sheet net tangible assets
applicable to the capital stock
amounted to $31.20 a share. In
1921, while many of the large cop
per companies were maintaining
idle properties, Miami's production
OF copper was about 80 per cent of
normal. Production during the
first four months of 1922 was 2O.-
$4,000 pounds, as compared with
30,1b7 600 pounds in 1e17s--the COM
pany's record year. The stock has
received dividends since 1912 rang
ing from S1,50 to s8.75, the latter
rate in 1917. Range OF stock since
1917: High, 4933s. in 1916; low. 14J.

abnormal price factor which certainly
remains SO far as bonds and preferred
stock issues are concerned, these being
limited to a fixed rate of return. This
factor is the decreased purchasing
power of the dollar.
So far as common stocks are con-
cerned the eventual stabilization OF
commodity prices, at no matter what
level, will eliminate this influence, be-
cause the dollars invested Will BIZ as
cheap as the dollars received from IN
vestment.
But to be uitraconservative let us
assume that during the process OF
sterilization of commodity prices the
purchasing power of the dollars earned
and disbursed as dividends will exert
their full statistical influence.
The mathematical process OF derat..
ing earnings per share by the INDEX OF
commodity prices is too involved tes
presentation in this limited space. SUI
fee it to say that making allowances
for 75-cent dollar, as compared wlts
the normal ten-vear average value o.
the dollar, the indicated price value.
as herein derived, would be SOL Per
share for the fourteen representatise
roads, as compared with an actual value
on August / of $50 dollars per share
The logical inference to be drawn
from analysis of all factors that nave
made prices in normal times IS tns,
railroad stocks as whole should sen
from 15eo minimum to S5Se kighef.

New Texas Oil Field

According to advices received by the
Pure Oil Company new we'll has been
discovered by the Humphreys Oil Com
pany near Kosse, Texas, which is pro-
ducing at the rate of between 5000 and
5000 barrels day. The discovery IS
regarded as significant inasmuch as the
location is entirely new with no other
drillings in that vicinity. The Pure
Oil Humphreys interests have $500
acres in the section. The oil produced
is reported to have gravity of 29.4
degrees and a color similar to dark

French Tobacco Deal Rumor

Possibility of acquisition by Amer
lean interests of control of the French
government monopoly for distribution
of tobacco products has been revived,
according to reports in brokerage cir
cles. Two years ago it was stated
that $1,000, 100000 of American cap
ital had been marshalled for this I'M
dertaking but negotiations finally
proved unsuccessful and the Americans
dropped the matter at that time. The
deal with the French government was
understood to have been in the hands
of the Duke Whelan-Thomas F. Ryan
group.

iy by the outlook for an increase in

heavy demand for transportation of

settlement of the strike. The con-
tinuatl consideration of the problems
involved by the executives and the
brotherhood representatives and the
calling of meeting of member roads

that the agreements to be reached

Directors Of the Third Avenue Rail-
way Company are scheduled to meet on
August 20 to act on the interest of the
adjustment mortgag bonds. On the
basis of earnings for the year ended
June 80, which produced a surplus after
all bond interest of $197,S57, it would
rot be surprising If a payment of SA
per cent were ordered. Conditions
which have brought about improved
earning power Of Third Avenue should
continue. Following the opening Of
new subways and elevated extensions,
mileage was changed to meet the char
acter Of new travel which to a large
extent had become short haul traffic
feeding other rapid transit lines. Pro-
gressivc gains in gross have been ac-
companied by declines in operating ex-
penses until in the year ended June
30, last, fixed charges were earned LOT
times and the operating ratio was re-
duced almost to the pre-war level.

is only very small amount of paper

buyers are disposed to insist on rates
