EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Motor Competition With Rails.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

One problem continually perplexes
the investor in railroad securities.
and that is the effect of motor car
competition on freight and passenger
business alike. 1t cannot be denied
that this competition is very real
and that it is destined to increase.
The question is whether it will go so
far as to threaten the investment
status of what are now conservative
railroad stocks and bonds.
No definite answer can be given,
but some considerations can be ad-
vanced which may be helpful. In
the first place, the motor car is a
more dangerous competitor of the
railroad as a passenger carrier than
as a conveyor of freight. There is
pretty steady falling off of passen-
ger traffic by rail in practically all
sections of the country. The excep-
tions are op roads having a heavy
commuter traffic and on those car
rying the larger long distance travel.
Passenger receipts, however, are
only a minor part of railroad gross
revenue. The vital matter is the
ability to produce freight traffic, and
here the situation is much more re-
assuring. Fortunately, we have an
accurate index of the trend in this
respect, which is available to all.
Every week the railroads publish
what are known as the car Ioadings
records; that is to say, the number
of freight cars loaded with revenue
paying freight in that seven days.
There Is great variation in these fig
ures from week to week and from
year to year, SO much so that they
have come to be considered an in
dex to business conditions and the
state of trade the country over.
These fluctuations are studied with
minute care by those who make it
their occupation to forecast the ups
and downs of industry. The investor
finds them valuaRe in charting his
course also.
When, however, the longer periods
are considered, it is found that the
demand for the freight
services of the railroads is increas-
ing and that there is no sign what
ever that the motor truck will dis
place the locomotive except for short
distances and in limited fields. In
vestors may set their minds at ease
on this point.

FRANCS IN JUMP

Severe Decline.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June s.-Speculative
buying of French francs, based on
the announcement that Finance Min
lister Caillaux would bring the $780,
100000 Morgan credit into play to
protect the currency. promoted a
brisk rally in the exchange at the
opening of today's market. An In
itial gain of 6 points lifted the rate
to 4.S1 cents, compared with last
weeks extreme low of 4.65A cents
The early dealings gave no indi-
cation that the credit was being used
for actual purchases of the cur
rency. but the mere warning that it
would be used for protective pur-
poses caused a furry of covering
by those who recall the severe pun
ishment meted out to shorts when
the fund was first established, in
March. 1924. The announcement at
that time checked a raid which had
driven the franc down to a record
low, at 3.42 cents, and within a few
weeks sent the rate soaring to above
cents.
Subsequently the franc became
fairly we'll established between and
51z cents, until Frances recent
financial difficulties started another
wave of selling.
