OPTIMISTIC OVER BUSINESS

CLEVELAND, Ohio. July 2s.-Busi-
ness is not discouraged. despite the coal
and rail strikes, and lis anchoring to
those basic principles which underlie
sound business according to the
monthly review of the fourth federal rel
serve bank. Although strike conditions
have become definite menace to iron
and steel production and overshadow all
considerations of new business or prices
in that industry and are resulting in
more uncertain conditions in the coal
industry. encouragement is felt In other
lines
Especially is this true in the automo-
bile industry, which is in an unusually
busy period. the report states One large
motor truck company reported an in
crease of 40 per cent in production over

BONDS WERE SLOW

T:y Special Leased Wire to The Star,

pecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July 29.-Public re-
actions to leading events of the cur
rent week showed pretty clearly that
most other factors having to do with
business were subordinated to devel-
opments in the great strikes. The
stock market outlined the situation
through marked declines of prices at
mid-week. when doubt about corpor-
ate earnings arose by reason of emer-
Gency measures for distributing wan
ing supplies of coal, and In later
sharp recoveries when hopes arose
of an early labor peace. Business
men began to count the costs of short
fuel production and disarranged rail-
road service.
cessation of anthracite mining and an
equal period OF reduced bituminous
output probably were exaggerated TO
some degree. The situation should be
examined with reference to general
industry as effects are seen up to the
present date. To accomplish this, re-
course should be had to railroad earn
ings and car loadings. to steel mill
production and steel company earn
ings. Figures in these lines show. at
least what actually has taken place
under the stress of strikes.
New York Central Earnings n Pointer
Among railroad earnings statements
of the week with broad bearing on
business and finance, the New York
CentrarS report may be taken as rep
resentative. The road transports all
sorts of merchandise. including coal.
Its reports always disclose good and
bad conditions. The New York Cen
trails net operating income in June, the
third month of the coal strike, amount
ed to little more than $4,000. 900.
This was nearly 100000 more than
for the corresponding month of 1921.
A better comparison would be with the
results in May of this year. and this
showed a gain of 50, 200. or about
56 per cent. In contrast with May. the
CentraIs gross revenue of S29. .462, 900
displayed an expansion of very nearly
S3.00O.0O0.
The Southern Pacific. which hauls
much manufactured goods. lumber and
farm products, reports an increase of
St.IIi.000 in its June gross revenue
and a gain of s3SS,000 in net income
as compared with May. The Union
Pacihc made practically as good a
showing. The New Haven's deficit in
June was much smaller than in 1921.
Generally speaking. it was only the
roads which have a preponderant traffic
in coal from affected regions which
suffered severely in June. in contrast
with results of the month before or a
year ago. while lines which handled
bituminouS coal from non-union terri
tory had their gross and net returns
swelled largely.
