NEW YORK, April l6.-The real
weekly" wages of workers In American
industries at the beginning Of the cur
rent year were nearly 6 per cent. ana
the average "real hourly earnings per

Conference Board, an authority on such
matters.
The average weekly money earnings

The purchasing power Of the indus
trial wage earner's dollar, based on
living costs, at the beginning OF this
year was 62.2 cents. This Is higher
than the average Of any year since

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, April l6--Chaiil store
methods have invaded the taxicab
transportation field. This became evi-
dent today with announcement BY the
Parmaiee Transportation Co. that 1t
would acquire chain of transporta-
ton companies In various large cities.
BY this grouping, executives OF the
company say that 1t win be the largest
operators of taxicabs in the world I'm
der one management. The Parmalee
the Parmalee Transfer Co. OF Chicago
and the Yellow Taxi Corporation Of
New York and q substantial interest
In the Chicago yellow Cab Co.
It Is estimated that other cities TO
be Joined In the proposed chain will
shortly bring the number of vehicles
under control of this company to TO-
900 or over. with approximately so. 600
operating employees.
The margin Of profit in the opera
ton Of taxicabs has always been low
and with the increase Of competition 1t
has reached point, at least In New
York and Chicago, where only the
fittest could survive. Rates have been
cut In many cities below q point which
five years ago would have spelled ruin.
Just as has been the case in chain
store development, there always will
be q large number Of independent taxi
cabs operated singly and in groups and
there always win be place for oper-
ators who establish close personal con-
tact with clients or who specialize in
certain branches Of transportation. In
addition large number Of cab COM
panies are being absorbed and their
vehicles operated by the street railroad
companies in various cities.
The lowering Of rates, however, has
made the taxicab factor In American
passenger transportation. Now the new
cab chain expects to be in a position
to cut costs still further by the same
methods Of buying which have beer
adopted by the chain store corporations

crude oil production in the United
States decreased 44,T36 barrels during
the week ended April Is, the greatest
decline In the industry since May IL,
1928. the Oil and Gas Journal says

rels, Oklahoma provided 25,345 barrels
and West Texas 22,045 barrels. The
total decrease In both light and heavy

BY KENNETH s. VAN sTRuM.

NEW YORK, April i6.-Tilere have
been many predictions during the east
year that stocks will soon replace bonds
90 the most popular investment medium
md tilAt eventually bonds would be
rclegated 10 an important place In the
financial system. Recent figures show,
however. that bonds have BY no means
lost their attractiyeness for investors.
Although recent high money rates
have not been particularly favorable to
the Notation Of new bonds, there has
been q sharp increase during the past
few months In the amount Of bonds
fioated. New stock issues, on the other
hand, have been decreasing in number.
Furthermore, past experience leads one
to expect that when credit conditions
become easier and bond prices begin to
rise, the trend towards bonds will be
even more pronounced.
There can be no doubt, however, that
stocks have gained stronger foothold
with investors during the past year
than they have ever before enjoyed.
Not only have investors bought stocks
in unprecedented amounts, but under
writing houses issuing bonds have pro-
vided their bonds with convertible fea-
lures so that the bond holder might
share the company's profits If it should
become unusually prosperous.
Popularity Of Stocks.
Despite this great increase In stock
popularity, many In Wall street see
certain points In the present situation
which resemble conditions existing in
1905 and 1919.
During those two periods, a sharp
rise In stock values created much pub
Lie interest. making it easier to sell
stocks. Rather than mourning obliga-
lions In the form Of bonded indebted
ness, companies as rule preferred to
issue stock when wishing to obtain
capital. At the same time, rising in
terest rates caused declining bond
prices and the feeling toward bonds was
correspondingly depressed.
Bonds Regain Favor.
On both Of these former occasions, In
1905 and 1919, however, the point was
finally reached when bonds again came
into favor. Declining interest rates
brought rising bond prices, which, to-
gether with an appreciation of the adj
vantages Of bonds, led to an increase in
the number of bonds In proportion to
stocks. In both cases, it was not long
before bonds regained their popularity.
The scramble for common stocks,
which reached its height during the
closing months Of last year and the
first quarter Of this year, can be shown
most graphically by the figures showing
the volume Of new securities issued for

so as to cause a broad rise In bond
prices. the number. Of new bond issues
Is on the increase.
1t is rather widely believed that the
market for high grade bonds will not
fall much further unless credit becomes
tighter. In view of the fact that the
absorption Of credit by the stock markeV
has apparently been checked and the
seasonal needs for business credit IS
now near its maximum, the higher rates
which would cause such o decline are
considered improbable.
