Rails Continue
Strong i'm Dull
Stock Market
Shares of Many Carriers
Climb TO Highest Levels
OF the Year; Traders See
Strike Settlement Soon

In quiet market yesterday specu-
iators again revealed confident atti-
tude regarding the future earning
power of companies whose shares are
listed on the Stock Exchange. A be-
lief that an adjustment of the railway
shipments and coal miners strikes
were near removed the main restraint
on buying. Railway shares were
once more conspicuously firm, many of
them climbing to the highest level of
the recovery movement.
The desire to buy railroad stocks
arises not merely fnom desire to dis
count settlement of the strike. but
for the more fundamental expectation
on the part of section of the specu-
lative public that the roads are drift
ing into comparatively profitable
period. Until few months ago, in
fiated wage scales. high operating
costs in general, and depressed trade
prevented the carriers from realizing
the expected gains from the transpor-
tation act of 1920, which put the gov
eminent on record as favoring a fair
return on the property value of the
roads. Improving net earnings for
many months have pointed to the ap-
preaching equilibrium between income
and costs, leaving a widening margin
of profits for the owners.
To a degree the rails have dis
counted the Improvement, but their
rise during the recovery which began
nearly a year ago has been much
slower than that of industrials. A
year ago the average price of thirty
representative industrial shares was
65.70, compared with 93.47 yesterday,
whereas year ago that of twenty
barometric rails was 63.85, compared
with 1895 yesterday. Limitation of
earnings on the rails by public regu-
lation precludes the profits Of
enormous earnings such as promoters
hold out for buyers of industrial
shares, and this artificial restraint Is
one factor which curbs speculative
buying of rails, which since 1915 have
been losing favor among security buy
ers. Recognition of the fact that rails
have not participated in the upward
movement at nearly so rapid rate as
the industrials and expectation by a
group of spectators of a period of
favorable earnings lie behind the
present buying of rails
Seasonal dizziness, intensified by un-
certainty as to the domestic labor sit
uation and by doubt as to the outcome
of the conference of the French and
British premiers at London, continued
to keep speculative activity within mar
row bounds.
Cotton and wheat prices were irregu-
lar, and at the close revealed moderate
net losses. In the European exchange
market, francs and lire were easier,
and marks and pounds firm.

Procedure for Rail Settlement

Formulation in specific terms Of
President Harding's latest proposal
for settlement of the railroad strike
gave further encouragement to the ad-
vance Of the rails in yesterdays stock
market. Little comment by railroad
men on the suggestion was available
as the text of the offer had not been
received up to late yesterday after
noon, but the tenor of its reception in
the financial district was favorable. 1t
is believed, however, that no action
can be taken for several days, as a
meeting Of the member roads Of the
Association of Railway Executives
will probably have to be convened and
nothing has been done toward this.
In connection with the proposal it was
remarked yesterday that the Labor
Board had repeatedly stated its stand
as to the seniority of men who re-
NAMED in service and have been en-
ployed to replace strikers and, from
the standpoint of the roads, it is OBJ
vious that not all the men can be re-
stored to their jobs.

Opposition to Express Contract

Almost all the railroads of the coun-
try are expected to give notice before
the month closes terminating the
present contract with the American
Railway Express Company, effective
February %, 1928. A majority are dis
posed to sign proposed contract
which slightly increases their revenues,
but there is fairly important group
of roads opposed to this contract. These
lines which contend that the express
business would still be burdensome
under the proposed contract include
the Boston & Albany, Central New
England, Chesapeake & Ohio, Chicago
& Alton, Chicago e. Eastern Illinois,
Delaware g. Hudson, Chicago Great
Western, Erie. Hooking Valley, Kansas
City Southern, New York Central, New
Haven, Pere Marquette, Seaboard Air
Line and Wabash among others. So
far as can be learned these roads have
not determined upon any uniform
course of action.

Tire Stocks Under Pressure

The recent epidemic of price cutting
in the field of automobile tires became
notably effective for. the first time
yesterday as a stock market factor.
It's influence was evident in the sag
ging tendency of this group of stocks
late last week but it was not until
yesterday that professional operators
used it with success as an argument
for depressing quotations. B. F. Good
rich common bore the brunt of the
attack and yielded more than points
under heavy selling. U. S. Rubber
showed greater resistance and at the
close was only fractionally off. Fisk
Tire was steady on a comparatively
small volume Of dealings.

In Wall Street
Merchandising Stocks Strong.

Aside from the strength in railroad
stocks the feature of the stock market
yesterday was the quickened demand
for stocks of merchandising companies,
rejecting recently published earnings
statements and the enthusiastic pre-
dictions based on those reports. when
the market closed Woolworth common
showed q net gain Of 8 points, May
Department Stores points, Sears
Roebuck 2h points, s. S. Kresee S
points and Montgomery Ward * point.
New high records for the year were
established in ali these stocks. The
strength Of the shares was coincident
with the opening Of the Merchandise
Fair.
