STOCK MARKET In BETTER HANDS.
BUT BIG BOOM NOW is UNLIKELY

made with the season year ago
when appropriations for the mainte-
nance Of roadway and equipment were
heavy. Now they are down to normal
and The result is that net revenues are
making better showing than gross.
This may lead to some railway diVi-
dend increases and to the beginning
of dividends on certain railway stocks
which heretofore have been paying
nothing.
Oil Prices Higher.
The market is hoping for develop
mentS of this sort. Also it has good
deal to say on the subject of the oil
shares. The recent price increases in
crude oil and gasoline have not at
present been carried any further. but
The feeling is that prices will work
higher eventually, in consequence of
an excess of consumption over prOduc-
ton. 1t will he interesting to see how
these predictions work out. In the
meantime the fact may he recalled
that for three years now Wall Street
has been consistently wrong on the
oil situation.
The market has been paying more
attention to asset values than to count
orders and earnings. otherwise there
could scarcely have been a rise in the
railway equipment shares as has oc-
CURED during the last week On the
same ground. steel shares have been
firm despite the admitted falling off
in the demand for pig iron and steel
ingots and despite the uncertain
course of prices.
Franc Decline Continues.
The decline in French and Belgian
currencies was resumed. Rates did
not get down to the absolute low fig
tres OF the middle uf May. Eut the
downward movement showed that
there was no particular reliance upon
the reports of new American loans
coming to the rescue the way they
did in 1924.
International banking circles were
quite evidently expressing their skep-
ticism over any measure of relief that
did not include a real balancing of the
budget and involve tax increases that
would he hard from a political stand
point to face.
Italian lire also sagged off.
The cotton and grain markets are
waiting for new light upon the condi-
tion of the growing crop. In the case
of cotton il is known that there will
be another large carryover of the un-
sold product and that the state Of the
,n,i StrN is nsu satisfactory.

CIVIL SUITS NOT
ANTICIPATED IN
DEMPSEY SCRAP
Affairs Mixed Up But All
Involved Anxious to Re-

BY HENRY Z. FARRELL
Omitted Press Statr Corresoondcnt)

NEW YORK. Aug. ID Che New
York boxing commission had con
Sidcred the possibility of civil
suit for damages in handling the
Dempsey Tunncy heavyweight ease,
il was admitted today by George
r. Brewer, member of the commis,
sion. and a prominent attorney.
Brewer. who invited Tex Rick
ard to return from his negotiations
in Chicago to apply again for Il per
nit to hold the fight in New York
and who cast his vote with William
Mudoon to restore the champion to
good standing in this state, said he
was expecting to be sued for dam
ages if the ease was not handled
fairly.
"This case concerns big business
along with Il strong sporting ap-
pcals he said. "Any party whose
business interests might be injured
could seek recourse in the courts. -
Brewer was asked if the license
committee, after being request
ed by It majority vote of the boxing
commission could refuse license
to Dempsey.
by doing SO" he said ''thr
committee would be- trcading very
dangerous grounds and would rcnd-
er itself liable To civil action.
While he would not 90 further
into details, Brewer intimatcd that
he felt sure of the legality of tine
actio' mtaken by the commission in
restoring Dempsey to good stand
ing in voting Tunnev a proper and
suitable opponent and in approving
of pcmpsey-Tmney fight,
There is not much chance, even
if the license committee should de-
cline to grant Dempsey Il license
next Monday, that Rickard, Dcmp-
scy or Tunncy will 90 into court.
Dempsey has his hands fun of
lawyer, defending civil suits, Tun-
ncy already has his license 'and
Rickard does not want to go mto
court.
