PENNSYLVANIA.

There is no occasion to discuss bonds
of the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Co. They
are all investments of such a high grade
that they vary in market price only With
changes in the money rate. 1t is with
the stock that this article will deal
That is of one class outstanding to the
amount of 12,945, 1913 shares of $50 par
value. On this stock cash dividends at
one rate or another have been paid
without interruption since 1856, period
of almost rs years.
The road has had its ups and downs
and sometimes the stockholders have
had to take small return on their in
vestment, but in all this time there has
never been q year in which some divi-
dend was not paid. This showing alone
entities the stock to an investment rat
ing The present dividend is per cent
or 81 a share. This basis was estab-
lished in May OF 1929, when the dis
burSement was raised from the $3.50 a
share per annum paid heretofore.
The question of Importance now Is
whether the current slump in traffc
will imperl this 81 dividend and on this
point the evidence to date Is reasSurtng
Taking the first six months of 1880 as q
basis, earnings available for the stock
at the end Of the year should be be-
tween IS and $3.50 a share, which ought
to be SUFFICIENT margin especially in view
of the expectation of business revival
later in 1890.
The road is one of the strongest
financially in the United States and the
large number of shares outstanding
makes for stability in earnings per share.
The stock has wide distribution, the
number of shareholders having reached
new high of 207,l88 on April l last,

WOOL LIMITATION
HELD NECESSARY
World CurtaiIment, Indicated
Already, Will Aid Whole
InduStry'S Status.

BOSTON, August 20 PA).-Sheep
growers are recognizing the fact that
they must reduce their herds, and it is
apparent from reflections noted in this,
the largest wool market in America,
that this policy will be followed not
only throughout the United States, but
throughout the world in the next year
Such change, it is declared, would
place the industry in q far better
economic position. In support of this
is instanced the tremendous decrease
in the lamb price this year, the low
price of wool all over the world and the
large number of sheep now on the
ranges and the feed lots Demand, &C
cording to market leaders, has failed
to keep up with supply.
Lamb Crop Large.
The lamb crop of 1880 was about
than in 1929 or in 1928 The hay crop
is short. The ranges are bare. Losses
from lamb-feeding operations last Win
ter were heavy. The drought in the
corn belt is reducing feed supplies in
that region. As a result, the demand
for stocks and feeder sheep and lambs
is materially below that for the cor
responding ptfl0d OF 1929.
Present indications point to a world
wool clip in 1880 of approximately
3,24O, 100000 pounds, although this may
be cut down by a drop in the Australian
production. Australia and the Union
of South Africa are gradually increas-
ing wool production. This is coming
into acute competition with the shorn
wool in the United States, where the
1880 clip was 326,000,000 pounds In
addition, the carryover Of wool in the
five Southern Hemisphere countries will
be well above that for the last four
years. Stocks there are approximately
350,000,000 pounds, or Is per cent above
those of last year Stocks in London
100000 pounds.
Decrease In Demand.
On the other side of the picture there
has been decreased domestic demand
for wool which has been reflected in
reduced consumption and smaller i'm
ports. During the first six months of
1880 only las, 100000 pounds were con-
sumed, a drop of $1,000, 900 pounds as
compared with 1929.
Wool prices have fallen IS to IS per
cent in the last year, although they
are fairly stable at present. In view of
these figures. the outlook for the sheet
grower is temporarily beclouded.
The wooden manufacturer is still find
ing acute competition from the fur
trade in women's coats, although the
styles are favorable this year for a
somewhat improved consumption of
WOODEN textiles. The difiiculty, how
ever, is that many of the most success
full WOODEN manufacturers are depend
ing on Australian wool for their sup
plies and are going into the wool bust
ness themselves In the Southern Hem
lsphere, using the clips from their own
| flocks.

The Illinois Supreme Court ruled today

the transactions were gambling and
that therefore recovery could not be
