gpeeinl Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, March 2l.-The Van
Sweringen brothers of Cleveland, who
have made q decided impression In the
Eastern railroad world since they first
bought control of the Nickel Plate q
few years ago. are extending their oper-
atoms In the transportation field west
Of the mississippi River through the
purchase Of l75,0O0 shares of Missouri
Pacific common and preferred stocks.
This fact, which became known yes
terday, was startling news to railroad
executives and railroad bankers.
1t Is presumed that the purchase has
been made in the interest Of the Allie
g1any Corporation, which was formed
In February, when It's securities, repre-
senting approximately s37: 600. 900. were
about s17,0o0,000 Of the proceeds Of
souri, Pacific stocks. =.
Purpose Not Known.
Whether this purchase represents an
investment by the Van Sweringens In a
property which they may believe has
great possibilities, or whether 1t Is bit
OF strategy In behalf Of the Van Swerin-
gen lines east of the Mississippi or
leverage against those who have been
URROSAAAH hAACAk Az UAhCAA 1i@SvGAh NcA4ooAA-
dation scheme, is not yet apparent.
This IL the first time in some years
that any large Eastern group Of rail-
road owners whose lines reach out to
st. Louis and Chicago have gone west
Of the Mississippi and entered a field
with, problems quite different from
those in their home territory. The
purchase Of the Van Sweringens In the
Missouri Pacific would naturally en-
title them to representation ON the
board Of directors. This may be OPP
posed II requested, as the relations be-
tween them and the, bankers for the
former Gould road are not believed to
be especially friendly.
Recently the Van Sweringens sold
their newly acquired interest in the
Buffalo, Rochester g. Pittsburgh Rail-
road to the Baltimore g. Ohio. At the
same time they took over from that
road and from the New York Central
their interest In the Wheeling g. Lake
Erie. The purchase of the Missouri
Pacific stock was apparently made in
the open market and was not the result
Of negotiations with any one large stock
holding interest. It, therefore, does
not raise the ticklish question involved
In holding the stock of competitive
road and the incident should not come
under the purview OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The commits
sion, however, Is understood to question
the shifting Of the Wheeling b. Lake
Erie control from the 1927 buyers to
the Van Sweringens, although this act
took the teeth out of the decision Of

Special Dispatch 10 The star.
BALTIMORE, March 21.-The Court
Of Appeals yesterday denied the United
Railways. which controls the trolley sys-
tenn Of Baltimore, any increase in the
present carfare. The court denied the
fare now in effect is confiscatory, as al
legged by the United.
As to the rate Of return on the value
of the property. the court declares the
6.26 per Cent. conceded by the Public
Service Commission, Is not conflscatory.
The United claims 10-cent carfare.
The 10 cents at present Is allowed only
for single cash fare, with four tokens
for IS cents.
The complete victory Tor the Public
Service Commission in this case re-
moves the United fight from dockets OF
the State courts and leaves 1t to the
United to carry It's fight to the United
States Supreme Court, as 1t has been
indicated 1t would do.

WHEAT Is LOWER
ON INITIAL SALES
Weakness in Liverpool Market
Causes Downward Trend
at Chicago.


ny kuC A8HOCiete0 EEGSe.
CHICAGO, March 2i.--Innuenced by
relative weakness Of wheat quotations
at Liverpool, the wheat market here
averaged lower early today. Crop re-
ports were mainly favorable, but some
Kansas advices were OF decidedly bull
ish character, and good buying was at
tributed to Eastern sources. Opening al
u on to haA up, Chicago wheat later
underwent q moderate general setback
Corn, oats and provisions were also
easy, corn starting unchanged to haH
lower and subsequently keeping near
initial figures.
Advices at hand today in connection
with easiness shown by the Liverpool
wheat market said that abandonment
Of Winter wheat acreage was expected
to be about normal in most European
countries. On the other hand, it was
noted that nervousness existed abroad
on account OF the United States con-
tinuing to withhold its surplus from
world markets. Meanwhile, domestic
crop reports, 90 q rule, indicated no
more damage than usual ut this date.
An exception TO bearish domestic crop
advices was q report from q widely
known authority who telegraphed that
from Harrington, Kansas to wichita,
the crop was in poor condition, much
Of 1t apparently total loss. He said
he saw farmers In this section digging
up wheat fields. and that many fields
showed no green wheat except along
the edge.

NEW YORK, March 2l.-After two

Truck manufacturers had been ex-
tending credit too freely toward the end
of 1925 and when . decline In general
business set in, late in 1877, profits fell
of abruptly until the middle of 1928.
Since that time the credit granting has
been put on firmer basis and domestic
trade as well as foreign trade, which
accounts for fourth Of total truck de-
mand, have been steadily improving.

were built almost exclusively by pas
senger car makers, but in recent years
the producers of heavy trucks have en-
tered this field. Truck building seems

ment quite different from passenger car
building. SO that company specializing
in trucks has an advantage over auto
mobile companies.
