Wall Street Features

- NEW YORK, December II (SpeciaD.
The estimated earnings of the Sea-
board Air Line in 1927 are at the rate
of about 50. so a share on the preferred
stock, or less than half as much as in
1925. The comany this week declared
the regular semi-annual interest pay
ment on the adjustment bonds. They
failed to respond to this action and
subsequently sold at the lowest of the
year The outlook for tourist traffic
to Florida this Winter is satisfactory,
but it viii be late in the Winter or
early Spring before the earnings of
the road will reflect this business and
the expected larger movement of
freight.
New York Central.
There are many stocks that have
had sharp advances this week on less
basis than New York Central. whose
response to the so per cent cash divi-
dend by the Michigan Central has
been comparatively small. This divi-
dend equals about 50 a share on New
York Central capital stock.
Consolidated Gas Common.
At its present price Consolidated
Gas common stock yields less than
az per cent. Holders of this stock,
however, refuse to sell, even though
the price has advanced 25 points since
the new shares were issued early in
the year. There is always the hope
that the dividend will be increased to
or per cent after the company has
completed its expansion program and
possibly brought about merger with
other light and power corporations.

We'll Known Alaskan Says New York Governor Is
 Popular in West

That Gov. Al. Smith will be the Democratic 1928 Presidential nomine, that Vice President Charles G. Dawes will win the Republican nomination and that
 the contest will be the hottest since the Wilson-Hughes battle of |1916 are predictions brought
 back to Alaska by M. J. Sullivan, we'll known citizen of the Terri tory and more or less identified with Republican politics in the North, who has spent several weeks visiting in the States. MT.
 Sullivan went further and ad- vised his party friends not to
 bet against Gov. Smith too early in the campaign. He declared that it would be easy to under
 estimate the popularity in the ,, West of the New York Governor. Tt is conceded" said Mir. Snl- livan. that Gov. Smith is the
 only hope of the Democrats, and 1t Is admitted that he offers a very strong hope to them. That he will be nominated without
 much of a struggle seems to be 9 certainty.
 Those who pick Gen. Dawes for the Republican nomination,
 said MT. Sullivan, "belleve that former Gov. Lowden will quickly shoot his bolt and that his strength will then go to Gen Dawes, who will be able to draw
 more votes from the East that the Illinois farmer"
 Mir Sullivan will remain in Juneau for sometime. He says the drilling for oil in the Yaka- taga country, which was discon- tinued in October for the winter season, will be resumed in the spring.
