AVIATION INDUSTRY
AIDS REAL ESTATE
Need for Landing Fields Creates
New Values-0ther Bust
ness Benefited.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 30.-Aviation
is changing the entire trend OF real
estate development and values in GER
tain sections and is having basic Ell
feet on the living conditions of Amerl-
can people.
Airplanes are slzimming the skies in
every direction on mail and passenger
routes. They are being used in lncreaS-
ing numbers for transportation OF goods
and are working in conjunction WIN
bus and rail transportation. And they
must have some place TO land.
Even the endurance flight of the Army
plane Question Mark recently empha-
sized the fact that bases must be pro-
vided. Land to provide airports Is in
demand, with values rising.
The landing fields to be of most use
must be near centers of population,
readily accessible for passenger and
within reach of wholesale and retail
and manufacturing districts. A con-
siderable area is necessary, and it must
be free of obstacles and readily drained.
Up-to-clate realtors have been scurry-
ing around for options on such proper
ties in every prominent center where
airplane routes intersect.
Railroads are buying additional yard
age for aircraft, where the latter can
be serviced in close conjunction with
the rail terminals. This is essential in
carrying out combined airplane and rail
services, such as is being worked out
by the Pennsylvania and Santa Fe roads
in conjunction with the TranS-Cont1-
mental Air Transport, Inc.
Where permanent landing fields have
been established there has been rush
for sites in close proximity by manufac-
inv nf inI1t ortip w H.
lily be transported by air express or by
air mail. Homes near the fields are
being built for industrial workers, but
the So-called residential districts are
moving away from these sites, with
dwellings of the better class being sup
planted by hotels, restaurants and
offices.
This movement and the expansion
of realty holdings are not new. The
same transition took place to some eX-
tent when the automobile became a
dominant factor in business as well as
social life. There is small doubt that
the expansion of metropolitan areas for
distance of Is to 80 miles was direct
ly due to the automobile. A similar
broadening effect may be expected from
aviation.
Airplane factories are naturally being
built near landing fields, or rather land
ing fields are a necessary complement
of an airplane factory. More ground
is also in demand in these localities
for use by makers of parts and Access
series. Oil and gasoline stations are
building up a fine business from the
servicing of airplanes and the stocks of
tires, springs and other products must
also be housed in the neighborhood.
The airplane is not only affecting
real estate. but is proving spur to
building construction.

PUBLIC UTILITIES
ADVANCE ON CURB
High Records Scored by Nu-
mer0uS lssueS-CheCker
Cab Gains.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 30.-New high
records for numerous public utility is
sues, accompanied by another enormous
turnover in this quarter, marked the
curb market trading today.
Despite the fact that as group their
yields at current prices were lower than
practically any other class of stock, the
utilities have enjoyed for months an
expanding speculative public following.
American Gas & Electric opened up
IS points to q new high on q block Of
$500 shares at 165, although it reccded
from its best as the session progressed.
American Superp0wcr issues were in
heavy demand with the class "a" up
some 4 points to fresh peak.
United Gas Improvement, crossing
1872, established q new high, but failed
to maintain the improvement Electric
Investors, Empire Power and Northeast
ern Power were other faV0riteS. Elec-
trio Bond & Share Securities felt the eff
feet of prof1t-taking following the sem
Sauonal rise earlier in the week, but the
decline was comparatively small.
With domestic production continuing
to OutStrip consumption in the oil in
duStry, this class Of stock lacked spec
ulative favor and Standard of Indiana
and Standard Of Kentucky were prac-
tically at the lows for the year.
A feature among speciality favorites
was furnished by Checker Cab Manu-
featuring. Opening on a block of 5000
shares at 1872, the price compared with
the previous final of 1879, and subse-
Quently went to rs, a new high record.
TranS-Lux Daylight Picture Screen
was another speciality favorite. The
price opened on a block of $500 shares
at II and subsequently crossed this
level to a new top.
Goldman-Sachs Trading established
new high around the 100 level
General Electric, Ltd, receipts which
have enjoyed increasing favor recently
opened on block of $4,000 shares at
new top of 1915 and it was evident that
the floating supply was becoming in
creasingly scarce.
Ohio Copper, one Of the Iowest-priced
members Of its group opened on block
of 10000 shares down fracttonally at
334. The current heavy speculation in
the issues after a long period of in
activity is attributed to reported i'm
portant discoveries at its properties.

NEW YORK, January '0.-During
the last three years motor truck man.
ufacturers have been operating under
very difficult conditions for which they
themselves were largely responsible.
Several years ago they overeStimated
sales by offering trucks on too easy
credit terms, and small trucking COM
panies and individual drivers. who de-
cided to go into business for themselves,
bought trucks in large quantities while
the trucking and transporting business
fiourished. When business slowed down,
however, not only did the business in
new trucks disappear overnight, but
truck manufacturers found themselves
with frozen credits and many repos-
sesSed trucks. Today sales are smaller
in volume because of the more stringent
credit, but the truck business is on a
much firmer basis.
The manufacture of motor trucks
cannot be standardized to the same eX-
tent as passenger car production, be-
cause many trucks must be made to
order. While the trend in recent years
has been toward lighter trucks where
trucks can be made in larger quantities,
even here it seems that the companies
formerly concentrating en- the manu-
facture of larger trucks have been most
successful.
High Grade, Heavy Duty.
Mack Trucks, one of the leading
manufacturers Of heavy duty trucks,
has brought out light truck with con-
siderable success. Mack distributes
through sales subsidiaries and does a
large foreign and domestic business.
While the company experienced diff
culties along with the rest of the in
dustry during the past two years, its
earnings have been remarkably steady
and it is in a strong financial position.
Mack recently simplified its capital
structure by retiring all preferred stock
issues. In the past six years it has

COTTON SUBJECTED
TO HEAVY SELLING
Market Shows Decline in Early
Dealings-Trade Buyers
Active.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January 80. - Cotton
today opened barely steady at decline
of 10 to IL points under liquidation,
combined with some Southern and local
selling, inspired by relatively easy show
ing of Liverpool and weakness in Egyp-
tian market. There was trade buying
on the decline as well as covering, but
it seemed to be quite readily supplied,
with the market easing off at 1864 for
March and 1888 for July by the end
of the first half hour, when active
months showed net declines of about
II to Is points.
Private cables said Liverpool market
had been influenced by hedging, liqui-
dalton and weaker ruling of Egyptian.
They reported fair cloth inquiry for
India, but said many offers were I'M
workable.

WHEAT PRICES GAIN
In EARLY DEALINGS
Reports of Unfavorable Weather
in West Coast Ad-
VanceS.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, January 30-Foreign
buying here and unexpected upturnS in
Liverpool quotations led to an early
advance of the Chicago wheat market
today. Official reports at hand said
the past week had been unfavorable
for domestic Winter wheat in the main
producing areas. Opening "a to 5aaM
higher, Chicago wheat afterward scored
additional gains. Corn and oats were
also flrmer, with corn starting "a to "a
up, and subsequently continuing to
climb. Provisions were weak.
Both the Washington weekly official
crop report and the Kansas State re-
port today showed unsatisfactory wheat
conditions, including prevalence Of ice
and dearth of snow protection. Under
such circumstances, and with Liverpool
prices up, whereas decline was due, a
fresh buying movement developed here.
Forecasts of colder weather in the
West tend also to stimulate purchasing.
On the other hand, liberal receipts of
wheat at Kansas points, as well as at
Omaha and st. Louis, attracted notice,
Hutchinson. Kans., for example, report
ing arrival of 100 cars today against
10 cars year ago.
Argentine advices of dry, hot weather
tended to strengthen corn values much
OF the time today. Other bullish fac
tors were reports Of bad condition of
roads in many parts of domestic corn
territory. 1t was also pointed out that
despite terminal receipts so far, 17.OOO,-
600 bushels more than last season, exist
ing stocks were 100000 bushels less
than at this time year ago.

RAILROADS SHOW INCREASES
IN NET EARNINGS REPORTS

Air Line the concern is over bond in
terest. No dividends are possible.
Among the Southwestern roads there
are good prospects for larger dividends
and initial dividends in 1929. The Mis-
souri, Pacific, Texas Pacific, Frisco and
MisSouri-Kansas-Te all had a good
year. The st. Louis Southwestern did
not do so we'll as the others, although
its common stock during 1928 ran up
to nearly 1924 a share. The soft coal
roads have been affected by conditions
within the industry which reflect in a
Maryland and about an even break by
the Norfolk & Western. The Lehigh
Valley and the Reading both made good
returns though not comparable to that
of the Erie.

OF the Naval Observatory, yesterday
explained the great scientific Importance
of the expedition in asserting that THE
corona effects of this eclipse will not
repeat themselves for another quarter
of century"
The corona will receive intensive
study this year" the superintendent
pointed out. Besides a study of the
EinStein problem, the various programs
contemplate spectrophotometry of the

red and in the ultra violet, a study of
solar radiation near and through total
ity, experiments to test the effect of
totally on radio transmission. relative
lntenSitieS of the lines of the coronal
spectrum, improved measurement of the
wave lengths for the coronal lines with

examination for displacement of the
dark lines of the outer corona with a
slit spectroscope of high dispersion, a
study of coronal rotation with falling
plate Spectrograph and interferometer
and with quartz Spectrograph, and
other features, including special study
OF the shadow band phenomenon"
Invisible in U. S.
The eclipse, which will be observed by
the Naval Observatory party in the
vicinity of Iloilo in Panay. P. l.. is of
Importance because of its long duration
OF 5 minutes of totality. The eclipse
will be invisible in the United States.
