according to Charles H. Holtzman.
collector OF customs.
This total includes poth free" and
dutiable merchandise. Value of the
latter class showed an increase Of
n1.o00,o00 for the last fiscal year
over the year preceding the in
crease having been due largely to
the new tariff law.
Larger Carxoes UnIoaded. .
The total number Of vessels en-
tering the port in the 1928 fiscal year
was 1881. and In 1924, 1851. The
net tonnage Of the ships in 1928 was
4.13s.o71, and in 1924. 3.s4s,311. Mr.
Holtzman ascribes the increased
cargo tonnage this year to the fact
that ships carried larger .cargoes.
In 1923, he said. many vessels ar
rived with only part of their
cargoes for Baltimore.

FOrty.Sevanth Article.

Investors are continually advised
by financial authorities to keep in
touch" with the status Of their securi-
ties. They are told that conditions
affecting trade ana industry con-
stantly change and that these changes
are bound to have an effect upon the
companies in which they are inter-
ested. and so upon the bonds or cap
ital stock Of those companies.
This is all perfectly true and very
important, but the average investor
does not know how to keep himself
informed. Usually also the amount
of time he can spare for this purpose
Is strictly limited. As has already
been pointed out in this series, the
best plan for such an investor Is to
have his list periodically revised by
some competent authority. There are,
nss .h he DO s fSe
ooifgation of corporation which
publishes regular earnings state
ments and. gives the holders of its
stock and bonds information as to
It's business.
Public Given Facts.
Conspicuous among corporations un-
der this classification are United
States Steel among industrials and
American Telephone and Telegraph
among public utilities. and this is
one OF the reasons why the obliga-
tions Of both these corporations meet
with SO much favor among the great
mass OF investors. Both these COM
panies have adopted this enlightened
pos1cy, with happy results.
NOR Is there now any excuse for
any one really interested not keeping
posted on the progress of the rail-
roads In general or Of any railroad
IN particular. Every week the finan-
loadings. showing the rise and fall
Of traffic on the railroads as q whole.
Every month there are published
earnings statements Of all the large
roads, showing how operating results
OF the preceding year. The railroads
are obliged by law to make these
monthly reports and the information
~ available to all. In much the same
statements, which should be Carefully
stuoied by those interested.
Sounds Note Of Caution. .-..
This Is all useful information. but
word OF caution is necessary. Fruc-
tuations In earnings are not vital un-
less the trend persists over a consid-
mants eraots per period Of time; One bad

suIts OF one year are not necessarily
conclusive. These are simply straws
