EARNINGS DECREASE,
BUT DIVIDENDS GAIN
BY the AssoeiafAd Press.


Statistics on the sources of the Ma
tlon's income in 1927, as compiled bv
the Treasury Department from income
tax returns, disclose a falling off in
business earnings, but a gain in divid-
ENDS.
While the total business income was
only about 100000 less in 1927 than
In 1926, it amounted to only 1882 per
cent of the total income, as compared
to l4.04 per cent in 1925. Dividends.
however, totaled about $14O, ,00O, 900 more
III 1927 than in 1926. representing 1893
1875. ~
The drop In business income probably
reflects the marked depression in indus
try. which came in the Fall of 1927.
The increase in dividends, in contrast
TO the smaller earnings, may have come
from the profits Of the high industrial
activity OF 1926, a peak year in several
industries.
The total income in 1927, $26,098,-
4eS,96l, was roughly $500, ,000, 900 greater
than IN the previous year.
Nearly half the increase in the total
figure for 1927 came from profits from
the sale of real estate, stocks, bonds,
etc. other than net gain from sale of
capital assets held more than two years,
which also made UP substantial por-
ton of the increase.

WHEAT EASES OFF

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 28.-Reports of
needed rains in Argentina tended to
ease down the wheat market today
during the early dealings.
On the other hand, corn developed
f1rmnesS owing to unfavorable weather
in the corn belt, likely to hinder the
movement of the crop. Opening at 12
70 Hs cent advance, wheat kept near
to the initial figures. Corn started un-
changed to "a off and subsequently
scored something of an advance all
| around. Oats followed corn. Provisions
were steady.
News that beneficial downpours had
taken place in southern Argentina
where the crops have been suffering on
account Of excessive heat and urgent
need Of rain was more or less offset to-
day in the wheat market here by COM
prehenSive advices that there Is much
less wheat in United States country

was indicated that the movement tt
primary centerS has been 10000, ,00(
bushels ahead of last year, and thai
most of this come from Winter wheat
sections where there was an increase ir
production over 1927.
Prices for all grades of domestic
wheat in practically all markets 1t was
shown, are lower than at this time last
year, in this connection, the assertion
was made that farmers generally are in
better financial condition than they
we're and that the "hold your wheat,

until prices improve or money is needed

NEW YORK, November 2S.-The

several industrials and public utilities

Brooklyn Union Gas SIPS advanced II

Liquid Carbonic 6s were points higher

The oil convertibleS were irregular.
Colon IS declined points. This was an
exception, for all of the Sinclair issues
were higher, as were TranScontinental

less buoyancy in the sugar convertibleS,

in the Nation

For every 10000 babies born
alive in Minnesota, eleven fewer
mothers have died during the per-

(1922-1926) than died during a
similar period prior to the opera

according to statement to be is
sued by the Children's Bureau of
the U. S. Department of Labor in
it's annual report of the admininis
tration of the act for the fiscal
year 1927.
The average maternal mortality
rate during the period prior to CO.
operation was $50. The decline in
the rural areas was more marked
than that in the urban areas, from
59.5 to AT as compared with a de-
cline from 74.5 to 64.9. The av-
erage infant mortality rate for the
period of cooperation was 9.3 per
cent lower than the average rate
for the previous period.
These results have been brought
about largely through educational
methods, the report shows. More
than seventy prenatal conferences
have been held in the rural districts
of the state by prominent obstet-
ricians since January, 1924, and
more than eight-hundrei prospec-
tive mothers have been reached in
