Air Line Head Sees
 Little Competition

NEW YORK, July 10.-Frederick B. Rentscheler, Ircsident of the United Aircraft and Air Transport Corporation, says large air lines need have little fear of severe com petition.
 "The fact that a large part of the earnings of air transport com panies arises at present from air mail contracts" he said, "precludes much competition from smaller car riers. The Post Office Department awards these contracts on the basis of the company's ability to carry mail satisfactorily and once con- tract is placed no similar award will be made to competing com pany."
 He said that the passenger out look was extremely bright" because of the successful performance of air mail services.
 Air transport companies may be- come serious competitors of rail- roads in passenger service" declar- ed MT. Rentscheler, owing to the growing interest in aviation, the construction of new air ports and landing fields and the continual bctterment of equipment"

COAST MARKETS LIST
 STOCKS OF NEW YORK

LOS ANGELES, July 10.-Trans- continental stock trading has in creased so rapidly in recent months that there now are 28 stocks of the New York stock exchanges list and 36 New York curb market stocks regularly traded in on the Los An- geles exchange.
 The Los Angeles market closes two and one-half hours after those in New York, and it is becoming common practice, says Carl Miller an official of the exchange, for the eastern traders to wire orders here for execution after trading has end- ed in New York.
 He says the number of shares traded in this way exceeds 2OO,OO weekly and is rising rapidly.
 Exchange officials consider the outlook so important from the standard of growth in the local markets trading that they changed the opening and closing time in order to conform with New Yorks daylight saving schedule.
 Exchanges in several other cities on the coast and in other parts of the country are taking advantage of the time differential to list the more important stocks Of the New York lists.
