NEW YORK, August Stock
prices today showed a tendency to re-
sumo their upward movement after
several days of reaction resulting
from heavy profit it-taking sales.
A steady demand for rails, stcels
and a selected assortment OF oil
shares checked the initial selling and
made closing prices irregulariy
higher. Another new flock of 1924
highs was established during the
brief session. some of the more prom
inent being Pullman, Foundation

By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, August 9.-Lighter re-
ceipts and a heavy into storage
movement during the week brought
about a firmer position in the butter
market. Poor quality and scarcity
of finer marks was complained of.
Conditions are good for con-

channels, since storage holdings have
increased to such an extent 1t Is
doubtful if operators will continue to
store. Storage holdings at the four
markets have increased about 5000

The slight decrease in the make
was considered seasonal. Cool wealth
er, excellent pastures and an abun-
dance of cheap feed indicated heavier
production.

BALTIMORE, August 9.-An idea Of
what the falling off in coal and coke
shipments has cost the Western Mary
land Railway Co. this year may be
formed when it is stated that receipts
from these sources were $2,1S9,41S61, or
81 per cent less than for the correspond
ing period in 1923.
Estimated earnings of the company
for July were again unfavorable, but
the shrinkage was not as marked as
in earlier months of the. year. Gross
was S1,434 ,002.93, against S2,005, 106.22
for July a year ago. a decrease of $571,-
1929, or 2S per cent. Drop in coal and
coke shipments accounted for $473,-
1883 of the loss.
For the year to July 81 gross earn
ings are estimated at s11 ,059,570.37, a
decrease of S2,6S3.471.S9. or 20 per cent,

NEW YORK, August s.-The out
standing feature of this weeks finan-
cial markets was a sensational gain
of more than 10 cents in sterling
exchange, which established a new
high record for the year at s4.54k
in direct reflection of the rapid prog
ress made by the London conference
toward a settlement of the repara-
tions problem. Other foreign ex-
changes improved in sympathy. al

Trade News Mixed.
Trade news was mixed in chara cter.
that both gross and
net earnings of class l railroads in

last year was counteracted to some
extent by reports that carloadingS of
Western railroads in July were run

Missouri Pacific reporting the best
July freight traffic in it's history last
month. Likewise, the omission of the
common and preferred dividends on
Pressed Steel Car was an offset to
the reports of improvement in the
steel industry contained in the weekly
steel trade reviews. Japan was a big

highs for the year. Also they were
accountable for the rise in Norfolk
and Western. the idea being that
even if nothing came of the Pennsyi-
vania lease the stock was attractive
on its investment return.
New Rail shares Taken Up.
Delaware and Hudson was bought
at new prices on talk of plan for
segregation of coal properties ana
also that it would form the nucleus
of another big Eastern railroad con-
solidation.
Merger rumors also were response

have been especially eXtraVagant,
was actively sold below 50.
National Lead had another spec
tacular upturn, Notwithstanding the

seven months of the year sales ran

amounted to s1,160,000.
Foundation Company Strong.
Foundation Company was another
leader among the specialties, maxim g
a new high. This company's business
took remarkable jump in 1928,
reaching a total of $23,000,000 against
s90OO,OOO in 1922. Surplus available
for dividends was $10.5O a share
