was drawn that the Federal reserve
system, despite the great rise in stock
exchange quotations, saw no real ba-
sis for changing official rates. which
after all, is an emergency lever to be
applied only when the highest ba

Rail Reports Encouras sing.
Wall Street was very favora bly, i'm
pressed by the July revenue state
ments Of the railroads. The bulk Of
these were highly satisfa ctory In
most cases gross returns were higher
than for the month last year and a
remarkable showing was made in net
income.
For the roads which have already
reported. the net operating income in
the aggregate during July increased
approximately one.third over July,
1924. Based on property valuat tion
the figures indicate a higher return
than in June and more than a full l
per cent over a year ago.
Signs Of Rural Prosperity.
The earnings statements of indi-
yidual companies had a marked effect
upon the respective railway securities.
There were sharp advances in this
class of stocks some of the nota BILE
examples being the shares of railroads
operating in districts which have re-
ported substantial increases In the
agricultural buying power. The week
end trade reviews stressed this phase
of the business Improvement
Duns said that there was an ''jn-
creased consumption Of goods in the
rural sections and demands in some
Of the big manufacturing centers" in
the South and Southwest.
Coal Strike Discounted.
The difference upon the hard coal
| operators and miners was reflected
only in the stocks concerned. The
Street long ago learned that the stock
market Is not sale on strike news.
Accordingly, 1t was only the sales Of
the anthracite coal shares which were
adversely influenced. while those of
the bituminous producers and the rail-
roads which transport soft coal were
helped moderately.
Grains and Cotton Slow Down.
Speculation appears to be playing
minor part in. the principal com.
modify markets. Wheat has lost some
ground and the other grains also
have been heavy. Cotton shows plain
ly minimum of speculative interest.
The trade expects greater crop
than the Government has estimated
and the market has fallen to the
lowest prices Of the season. Upon
one point all sides are agreed and
that Is that the 1928 harvest will be
the largest in the past few years.

NEW YORK, August 2e.-In spite
Of the fact that the price average on
the Stock Exchange the last week has
scarcely changed as compared with
where it left off the week before, in
terest in the fina ncial situation has
centered in this market to the exclu-
sion Of almost everything else. Wall
Street has been al loss for some time

list and again this week il got no
clearer view OF the speculative posi-
ton.
Money continued easy. except for a
Slight hardening Of rates in preps ra-

ments. In the commodity markets
nothing extraordinary occurred, and
the International situation rested on
the debt funding negotiations Bonds
were quiet and there was A fairly even
balance of conditions in trade chan
nels.
Stocks Reflect Caution.
Stocks plainly reflected the spirit
of caution with which the ma iority
viewed them Toward the close OF
the week the general average Of quo
tations stood at 73.4l per cent as com.
pared with 1886 per cent on August
22
The peak for the year so far was
reached last Tuesday, but. from tho
high level touched that day, stocks fell
back sharply. accelerated by declines
in some Of the high priced issues which
were fully as violent as the previous
advances.
Mixed Movement BafYiing.
In the early stages of big forward
movement on the Stock Exchange the
way usually is indicated by the grad
ual improvement in first one stock and
then another. II what has taken
place this past week in the opposite
direction has been reliable guide.
then it is possible that the position Ia
being reversed. that the slow receding
movement in the share list, enlivened
by wild fluctuations in few stocks,
has been the forerunner of general
and more severe downward turn. But
all this, recent experience has shown,
is mere conjecture.
Traders. emboldened by the high
average the list has struck. have tried
their luck on the short side, but have
been forced to abandon their positions
in many insta noes and agree that the
present market defied analysis and
was dangerous to the extreme.
Money Market Unchanged.
Conditions in the money situa tion
are ca sier TO appraise. There had been
some fears that the Federal reserve
would raise the rediscount rate. but
these fears were shown to have no
basis in fact Call loans rose to Al
