The fact that railway earnings do not
decrease as yet must be keen disappon
ment to the pessimists. There has been
some falling off Of the percentage of In
crease, but by far the larger number ct
important systems continue to show SUBJ
stantial gains. 1t is entirely likely that
the business Of last year will not be
eQualed by all systems. It may be even
acknowledged as probable that last year
as whole will show somewhat bigger net
returns than this. Last year was abnor-
NAL. What does seem certain, however.
is that with the business of the country
generally reviviHg on a more solid and
enduring basis the railways will do a
larger business than in any year before
last. That general trade conditions are
improving nearly all authorities agree.
The factor OF the ops is one that still
contains much Of uncertainty. The latest
news is most hopeful. 1t should be re-
membered, however, that the railways
depend much less on the wheat and corn
trafiic than they did few years ago.
A total OF ffty-three railways showed
gross earnings OF $7,271,776 during line
second week Of July. OF this number forty
showed increases totalling $614,1SO, and
thirteen showed decreases amounting Ia
$16o,S11. 1t will thus be seen thaf The

ter. even than 1t was. No other large
decreases were made during the week and
only one other decrease OF more than

more than 10000. Returns from sixty
six systems for the first week Of July show
gross earnings Of $S,014,957, an increase
OF 1929, $50, or 4.19 per cent.

Professionalism still holds the upper
hand in the stock market, but there has

the character and amount of business. but
In the range Of prices during the past
week. There has been some commission
buying and at times there have been evil

BIRD FLIGHT STILL a SECRET.
Certain Phenomena Not Yet Discov-
cred by Man.


From the New Orleans Times Democracy
Thousands of learned papers have been
written on the flight Of BIRDS said a me-
chanical expert of this city. ''and all the
flying machine enthusiasts have given the
subject endless study and investigation,
but, strange to say, We know almost ex-
actly as much about it now as we did In
the beginning-in other words. noth;rg at
all. Every theory that has been advanced
has been knocked sky high by other
theories equally plausible, and the only re-
suit of all the labor that has been expend-
ed is the accumulation of mass of da,a
from which some genius of the future may
be able to evolve an explanation. The
great secret of secrets Is what is known as
Heating or 'poising.' Most of US have
seen hawk, for instance, on a clear, still
day, hanging apparently motionless in the
upper air. Whether the outstretched wings
are really still or whether there is slight
but continual shifting to take advantage OF
aerial currents is not fully determined.
Floating birds have been watched for hours
through powerful glasses, and lately they
have been photographed in infinite detail
with that wonderful new instrument called
the 'telephotoscope,' which Is merely a
combination of the telescope and the CAM
era, but not one clew to the mystery has
been obtained.
at used to be thought that birds could
float only against the wind, but that has
been exploded. Then. again, the faculty
is possessed by comparatively few varie-.
ties, and others. with equal or superior
wing spread. are unable to do 1t at ALL The
why and wherefore are unanswered ques-
lions.

Henry Clews makes the following COM
ment on the market situation In his week
ly letter:
THE stock market, while relatively dull.
showed unexpected strength. Strong In
side support and dividend rumors were the
chief explanations. Union Pacific, Balti-
more and Ohio, Illinois Central, Missouri
Pacific, and Sugar being the chief features
in this connection. There is also strong
| undertone to the market, based apparently
upon the expectation Of a trade revival in
the coming fall. The Chinese difficulties
exerted little effect, because it was well
understood that the sending Of whatever
American soldiers to China may be neces-
sary Will not be q serious expenditure to
this Government. The present rate OF sur
plus revenue would permit our carrying
on military operations of considerable
magnitude without any embarrassment
whatever to our finances. China, on the
other hand. is not in any position to con-
duct prolonged war. having but very linn
Tied military or financial resources. She
may keep up long rebellion;
but that would be less costly to others
than long and savagely conducted war.
There is the possibility Of the other pow
ers getting into difficulties, and what the
elect would then be upon the European
money market it is impossible to say.
The United States, however, Is in the
strongest condition financially, and would
be best able and least called upon to meet
such contingencies. Europe is already a
large holder Of American funds, and while
We are now actually shipping gold abroad,
we have the power to recall these sums
when wanted by the simple advance Of in
terest rates. Money is easy now. but high
er rates are in prospect as soon as the
regular crop and trade requirements as
~
flicting, are generally favorable, or the in
Jury done has been amply discounted. The
agricultural classes as a rule. are prosper
GUS Labor Is well employed, though In
some cases wages are lower than the I'M
usual level of last year. Both the iron and
textile industries are gradually settling
down to a more normal basis, and with
subsequent revival Of demand will reach
more reasonable and therefore more sub
stantial basis OF prosperity. Unless the
Chinese difficulties assume more serious
proportions good stocks. will be purchase
on all sharp declines, and profits should
be accepted on good rallies. The iron and
steel trade presents more encouraging |
aspect this week. Several good Western !
orders have been placed: and while large |
consumers in general are still hesitating, !.
being as yet little in doubt as to whether !
the market has reached bottom, indica- !
tons of a revival of business are not lack |
ing. The lower level of prices has brought |
many enquiries from abroad covering q |
range Of material from pig iron to the most I
highly finished steel products, pointing to
an early increase in an already fattering
foreign trade"

statement was Ane one, much better than
expected. but It did not dlspel the fears
expressed By many careful financial peo-
pie that there will be q tightening Of
rates during the coming month. The banks
have . small surplus over their legal re-
serve for this period Of the year. Already
they have begun to ship gold to Europe,
and this movement IL said to be likely to
continue. even though international poll
tics and the Chinese affair should not as
sumo a more unpleasant phase in the
near future. In addition to this tho West
viii soon begin to draw money from New
York for the movement OF its crops. These
two drains on New York would quickly de-
-blete the reserve. 1t is suggested by one
shrewd local observer Of the market that
the banking interests are now selling much
Of their holdings Of stock at the advance
and that they are keeping interest rates
abnormally low on this account until they
have succeeded in unloading sufficiently.
When they have accomplished this pur-'
pose they will, he believes. raise rates
to the highest level OF recent months.
Then security prices might tumble q few
points and none OF the important people
would be burt. The market would be In
better shape for the big boom that 10 to
