Notwlthatandtng bull ish eentlment due to proapectlve aettlement of the coal strike, corn weakened In price today, demoralisation of tha hog market waa chiefly responsible. Corn closed heavy. lHo lower to o advance, with January. tl.l6U5fc. and May. 31.331, 01.33. Oats finished Ho down to He gain, and provisions unchanged to 40 cents de cline. Corn at first had a decided upward tendency, moat traders assuming that tha railroads would utillie for fuel supply purposes all available rolling atock and motive power and would tbua ourtall the movement of grain. It waa also- expected that food manufacturing Induatrlea would aoon become active buyera again, miring the laat bour of tba aeaslon. hoWever, all other factora were ecllpaed by sever breaka in tta value of hogs.

Montgomery Ward & Company was established in 1372 as the first catalogue and mail order house in the United States. It was incorporated m Illinois in 1889 and reincorporated in New York in 1913. Because of the pas sage of the New Illinois Corporation Law, the company has been reincorporat ed in Illinois, thus making all of its stock exempt from personal property taxes when held by residents of Illinois. SALES TERRITORY. Since the organization of the company its volume of business and sales territory have constantly increased until now orders are re ceived from erary state and outside territory of the United States, as well as foreign countries, the sales to date for 1919 being approximately $90,000,000. Salient Features From the letter of Mr. Robert J. Thome, President of the Company, and the report of Messrs. Arthur Young & Co., Certified Public Accountants, we '.ummarize as follows: 98 OF THE COMPANY'S ORDERS are accompanied by cash in advance. MERCHANDISE IS BOUGHT directly from manufacturers and sold by mail directly to consumers, largely eliminating all in termediate profits. The company itself operates factories and is interested in many others. IN VIEW OF THE FACT that company has been in business nearly 50 years and that millions of dollars have been ex pended in advertising and distributing catalogues, and that hundreds of thousands of customers have dealt with it con tinuously, it is clear that the Good Will, catalogues and lists are of immense value. It is believed that the Good Will is equal to entire net assets of company, although neither these nor other intangible values are carried on its books as assets. SALES FOR 1918 were over $76,000,000, an increase of over 100 in the past six years; and the estimated sales for 1919 show an increase of almost 150 during that period. NET PROFITS have shown an increase from $1,653,481 in 1913 v to $6,390,181, before taxes, in 1918. THE ASSOCIATION with men who have already become large holders of this new stock will greatly benefit the company in broadening its merchandising field, and the company, con- tinuing under the same management, will be greatly strengthened. THE COMPANY has specific plans for large developments, which will balance its facilities for new warehouses and dis tribution covering the entire United States in the most econom ical and efficient manner. I v THE FINANCING of the company is ample to carry out these projects and to maintain a generous cash reserve, the balance sheets showing cash on hand, $29,701,495.16 ; Liberty Bonds, $1,609,443.25. . The legality of this issue has been approved by Messrs. Winston Strawn & Shaw of Chicago ; Messrs. White & Case of New York City, and Mr. Henry L. Moses of New York City.

Trust Company of Georgia, Atlanta, Oa. BUSINESS i. ITie Nunnally Company, manufacturers of high-grade candies, is being incorporated under the laws of Delaware as a reorganization of the Nunnally Company (of Georgia). The business was founded in 1885 in Atlanta and since its formation has shown continuous and substantial growth. The Company is the largest manufacturer of high-grade candies in the. Southern States, with a distribution national in character. James H. Nunnally, the founder of the business, will remain in active management of the Company's affairs as Chairman of the Board of Directors. k PURPOSE OF REORGANIZATION The purpose of this reorganization is tt enable the Company to increase the national distribution of Nunnally products, and to expand its facilities for carrying on business. ,The increased capitalization will result in a number of additions to the Company's plant, located in Atlanta, as well as an increase in the number of retail stores in operation throughout the tountry. PLANT FACILITIES AND STORES The Company's candy manufacturing plants are modern and completely equipped in every respect. About five million pounds of high-grade candies are turned out annually and with the augmented facilities , this output will be greatly increased. . Nine retail stores, advantageously located in various cities, are being operated at the present time. A further expansion along this line is contemplated. There are approximately one thousand employees on the Company's payjroll. SALES AND EARNINGS Tha remarkable progress made by the Nunnally Company is indicated by the steady and consistent annual in crease in tha volume of sales since the foundation of the Company, thirty-five years ago. In the 1917 fiscal year, net sales stood at SI, 436,7 15.00. In 1918, net sales crossed the $2,000,000.00 mark, while in 1919 the total is placed at 83,326,000.00 (two months estimated). Sales for the 1920 fiscal year are conservatively estimated at 84,500,000.00. Tor the current fiscal year (two months estimated), the Company will show net earnings, before Federal taxes equiva lent to 84.00 per share on the new issue of stock, while in 1920 it is estimated that earnings, before taxes, will amount to at least $4.50 per share on the common stock now being offered at $23.00. Tha Company haa regularly paid dividends from its inception. In view of the consistent growth in tha past and tha excellent prospects for the future, and considering the conservatively estimated increased earnings for 1920, In our opinion $2.00 per share can be paid annually on this stock, accruing from January 1, 1920. We look forward ta the same steady growth and feel reasonably sure that conservative Increases In the dividend rate will be made from time to time. At the offering price of $23.00 per share, an annual dividend of $2.00 will yield a return of 8.60& and an annual dividend of $2.50 will yield 10.85. , . PROSPERITY OF CANDY INDUSTRY Tha constant and increasing demand for confectionery is well In excess of production. Tha stability and eon 'tinned growth of the industry is assured. Prohibition and the Increasing consumption of sweets ia the United States have brought the candy business to a position of permanent prosperity.
