October Rail Earnings.

Close followers of the general rail-
road situation are inclined toward the
belief that aggregate net railway oper-
ating income Of Glass 1 roads during
October will approximate s75.000000. 1t
is conceded that the gross operating
revenues will be extremely large in
view of the heavy movement of freight
throughout the month. Against this
total. however. IT Is expected that some
roads still will be charging off be-
lated strike expenses while others which
are now clear of the shopmen's strike
are understood to be actively engaged
in making up deferred maintenance.
In the case OF few roads which stead
fastly refused TO treat with the ma
tional organization of shopmen it is
reported that commissaries are still
operating for the benefit of the present
staff of workers. Another item which
is expected to figure in the report is
the premium payment by some carriers
in their efforts to locate fuel with
which to operate. Net for October,
1921, was $105, 100000.

Consolidated Ca. stock Issue.

The Consolidated Gas Company has
just about completed details of a pro-
posed issue of stock for sale direct to
the public. 1t is understood that this
stock will be divided into two classes, OF
which s25.000, 900 will be common stock
and S15.000,000 preferred, making a to-
tai OF S40.000,000 to be offered at a

Copper stocks Irregular.

Stocks OF the copper companies yester-
day pursued an uneven course In a
market which was generally nervous
and erratic. Irregularity In this group
was partly accounted for by the fact
that these stocks had not enjoyed n rise
proportlonate to that of most of the In
dustriaI shares. On a turnover OF a.
600 shares, Chile sold between 26h and

Jersey Central Outlook.

Those in close touch with the man
agement of the Central Railroad OF
New Jersey assert that no proposal
has been made to dispose of the $25,-
10000 profit derived from the sale of
the company's coal properties. The
opinion prevails regarding Jersey Cen
trail and in fact other roads mentioned
as likely to declare extra dividends that
the unfavorable developments arising
out of the combined rail and coal strikes
have put stop to such deliberations for
a time at least. Faced with greatly
curtailed earnings due to loss of coal
revenue. Jersey Central Is not felt to
be in a position to act on extra dis
bursements until next year.

selling Because Of Tax Losses.

That both the stock and bond mar
kets will have to reckon with sales made
to record tax losses is the opinion OF
one authority. Selling of this character
already has shown itself, he asserts,
particularly In the bond mar
ket. The decline in bonds has car
ried many of the recently offered issues
below their original prices, and investors.
It is believed, are swapping them for
other bonds which are still further out
of line. The same thing is being done
by those who purchased bonds at the
peak prices established in August and
September and who are now faced with
pretty severe losses. The sudden change
in the trend of the stock market few
weeks ago caught good many traders
unaware, and they now have substan-
tial losses to offset some of the profits
made In the bull market last summer.

Market Trend Downward.

Under the influence OF speculative fears
arising from the discussion OF taxes and
the postponement Of the Lausanne con-
ference on the Near East situation with
out news of the Angora Government con-
senting to the delay, selling for both
short and long accounts sent the stock
market to generally lower levels yester-
day, although the pressure was not OF
the proportions exerted last week. An
attempt to rally the market in the last
hours of trading failed under the disturb
ing influence of further breaks in Marine
preferred and General Asphalt. The
rails resisted pressure better than the in
dustrlals. the general run OF which are
believed by many to be facing higher op-
Grating costs due to labor, fuel and car
shortage,

Coal Loading Report. End.

After making daily reports covering
the loadings OF both anthracite and btu
minous coal since the resumption Of
mining early in September the car serv-
ice division of the American Railway
Association has decided to end It's work
in this direction. 1t Is said that the re-
ports are no longer Of value, since the
situation is satisfactory. In some quar-
ters it has been maintained that the
figures contained therein were valueless
as a real indication of the roads work
because the tonnage In the daily load
ing never was specified and it was es-
tablished that many of the roads were
only partly filling their open-tops in
their rush to bring fuel to tidewater.

Lehish Segregation Plan.

The amended plan for segregation Of
Lehigh Valleys coal properties has been
held back during the last few weeks be-
cause of the activity Of Lehigh's counsel
in closing the question of the return OF

Jersey. With the closing of the canat
matter (this is expected by the first of
the month"; definite and substantial
progress toward the segregation plan is

PLAN CONCERT IN PARKS
HERE THIS SUMMER
Continued from page u

additional appropriation of a few
hundred dollars. In view of the fact
that the city budget for 1922 has not
yet been definitely closed it was said
that the Board of Aldermen might
be able to grant a small addition to
the park appropriation so that the
band concert project might be car
ried out, if it were proved that the
present appropriation would not
cover the extra expense entailed.
Another matter taken by the
commission was the small revenue
accruing to the city through the
small residence in Caledonia Park.
This house, situated practically in
the center of the park, is rented to a
private citizen at a figure rather low
considering the expense of upkeep
and the question of increased

committee to look into the project
and report at the next meeting of
the board.
A change in the regular meeting
night of the commission was adopt
ed. The set time in the past has
been the first Thursday of each

difficulty in obtaining a quorum on
that night a change was deemed
advisable, and the first Wednesday
