LATE BREAK HITS
STOCK FAVOR|TES
Advance on Week Shown by
Most Common industrial
Share Groups.

New York Stock Exchange prices
climbed higher last week until Friday
afternoons break, presumably induced
by the raising of the rediscount rates
in Boston and Chicago
Gains had been mixed with losses
earlier In the week. Popular favor had
gone markedly to the oils, which as a
group had not participated propor-
tionately In the markets previous re-
cent advances. The rises in oil shares
last week were fairly we'll distributed,
and trading in the group was nearly
twice as heavy as In the preceding
week
Fridays break cut most heavily into
the recent favorites, losses being spread
through nearly all the industrial
groups. Motor shares reacted rather
sharply, but General Motors and Chrys-
ler held we'll.
Up to Friday each common industrial
group except the coppers had shown
net price gains, although that of motors
was very slight. The miscellaneous
group had made the biggest advance,
due to sharp rises In General Electric,
Fidelity-PhoeniX Insurance, Otis Ele-
vator, Liggett & Myers, Union Carbon
g. Carbide and others. Much of these
advances was Cancelled in Friday after
Moons reaction.
The preferred stocks and railroad
common stocks had shown no net ad-
vance for the week before the break,
but were less affected by 1t. The util-
tiles group had gone up sharply during
the week, but we're rather hard hit by
Fridays setback.

are more or less typical. Passenger re-
ceipts in 1928 were $62, ,158.8 1875: In lyzt
this amount had fallen to $53,24O9 928:
This is an average annual decrease Oh

nation. is becoming each year grea'er

THE Southern Pacific Is combating
this difficulty through organization OF
its own motor transportation company.
Probably that will help, put IL rennail,e
