RAIL WAY DEC0RATES,
NAMES LOCOMOTIVES

NEW YORK, Aug. Back in
Civil War times, and we'll into the
seventies, the passenger locomotive
was thing of individuality.
Then, in the interests of economy,
the brass was covered with PAIN,
individual names were forbidden
and the bright decorations were left
off.
But some of the old romance is
coming back now. At least two
railroads are dressing up their iron
horses. The newest New York Cen
trail locomotive will be painted in
battleship gray and trimmed in
aluminium and shining black. And
the Baltimore and Ohio soon will
put on twenty new engines painted
in olive green, gold and red, each
one to be named after a president
of the United States.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN TRADING TODAY
Profit Taking Met by Some
Shares, While Others Con-
tinue Advancing.
BY GEORGE IT. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 16.--After five
days of continuous advance numerous
3ndustrials on the Stock Exchange
encountered rather heavy profit-taking
sales at the close OF the week. II
was highly irregular two-hour SEES
sion. While this realizing was having
its effect in certain directions, the de-
mand continued elsewhere and there
were many of the rails that were
taken at advancing prices. In all, the
market gave a good account of itself,
especially in view Of the Improvement
earlier in the week.
General Motors, after opening we'll
above the Friday final, lost its gain,
while United States Steel remained
unchanged most of the time. The
upward movement which had been so
pronounced in the shares of merchan-
dising and chain store companies re-
Gently was suspended, at least for the
time being, and there was DISPOSE
ton to take down profits in such
issues as Woolworth and Montgomery
Ward.
Utilities Are Strong.
High-grade utilities in the invest
ment category stood out prominently
again, notably Brooklyn Union Gas al
a new high for the year, and Brooklyn
Edison up 2 points or more. Con
solidated Gas went along and Ameri'
can Telephone & Telegraph gained
fractionally.
Erie issues were outstanding fea'
lures in the railway group. Crossing
so, the common was at it's highest for
all time. Regardless Of the decision
in the C.. & u. case, 1t was conceded
that the Improvement in the financial
condition of the road justified the pres,
ent rise in the stocks. Atchison and
Atlantic Coast Line were lower, but
the decline was comparatively small.
Southern Railway was brought to the
front and bid up into new high ground
for all time.
Greene Cananea again featured the
copperS. AT so it sold at it's highest
value since 1918. Because of the fact
that the company has valuable prop
critics upon which it is able to produce
under low cost methods, it has not
been so much affected by the prevail
ing low prices for the metal, and this
is what the market appeared TO he
discounting. Postum Cereal. "a new
high for 1927, was anticipating favor.
able developments at the coming meet
ing of the Walter Baker Co, when
the offer of Postum Co. for acquisi-
ton of the former will be considered.
General Electric Rises.
I American Radiators advance ap.
peared to be in response to the new
process adopted by the company, which
is expected to materially reduce manu-
featuring costs. General Electric was
another prominent industrial to reach
a new high under the present share
capitalization.
There was nothing new in the oil
trade situation to account for the re-
newed buying of Atlantic refining
and Phillips Petroleum. The market
for these stocks was found to be vul-
nerable to buying operations and the
element favoring a rally were making
the most of their opportunities 1t
was a typical Saturday market. with
the outside public displaying little in
terest in the proceeding.
