WALL STREET ADOPTS
ORPHANS OF MARKET

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February AS an in
dicatiop of how quickly Wall Street
changes its mood and adopts groups of
stocks that have long been market or
phans. witness the present enthusiasm
for railroad shares.
At the end of last week the rails
were the leaders In the trading. What
was more significant, the Street was
willing to believe rumors concerning
possibilities in the railroad world that
it would not have listened to few
weeks ago 1t also made a great deal
of facts that have for years been well
known to the average person who makes
study of conditions.
One of the stimulating announce
mentS, speculatively, was that the Bal
timore g. Ohio was seeking control of
the Reading and the Central Railroad
OF New Jersey and will file It's appli-
cation with the Interstate Commerce
Commission shortly for permission to
acquire these properties.
The relationship between all three
lines, have. of course. been most init
mate for years through the investment
the Baltimore & Ohio made In the
Reading under the Loree management
years ago. In this investment 1t had
as partner the New York Central
Eventually it had been hoped to effect
a trade whereby the Baltimore & Ohio
would obtain the New York Central'i
Reading shares for other railroad in.
veStments which would fit more closely
into its own transportation program
1t Is possible that strong objection
| may be entered to Baltimore a. Ohio's
control of the Reading by Pennsylvania
railroad interests.
The Taplin group, who own the
Pittsburgh & West Virginia railroad
and have large minority holding OF
| Wheeling & Lake Erie, would like tt
get the Western Maryland for theil
projected ocean to- the lakes" route.
Control Of this former Rockefeller
road now rests with the Baltimore &
Ohio. Objection has been made to 2
continuance of this and in order to pre-.
serve the situation it has been suggested
that possibly the Reading might take
over the Western Maryland stock nov
vested with the Baltimore e. Ohio.

Many of these issues in the past week
| have sold either below or close to the

brought the general average of the
domestic bond market to the lowest
Of the year. The supply is not large
but even with offerings of the present
size there is not sufficient buying power
to keep. the list steady.
The condition is due not only to the
high rates for money, but to GER

are tired out by the action of bonds and
are putting their funds into securities
that have a greater amount of play.
The convertible issues did not move
over so wide range today. Several OF
them were under the influence of profit
taking. This was especially true of IN
ternational Telephone 4l2s. Allegheny
Corporation SIS. American International
S. 2S and Public Service of New Jersey
4l2S, in which last weeks total turn
over was approximately 20 per cent OF
the entire bond transactions on the
stock exchange. The Allegheny Corpora
ton issue was points under its recent
high.
Outside of this group and distinctly
strong. were Anaconda Copper Is,
Porto Rico Tobacco IS and International
Cement SIS, in which the gains were be-
tween 2 and 3 points.
Dodge IS were heavy and have lost
ga points since the break in Chrysler
stock started. One of the significant
features of the Junior rail market was
the further decline in the new Az per
cent bonds of the Frisco, Wabash &,
Rock Island and the weakness in the
older issues of the same coupon of the
Great Northern, Illinois Central and
Burlington.
An issue of SIS, 10000 Central Public
Service convertible 5l2s at 96l2 is to be

There were about $17,000,000 of tax

VIRGINIA EGG OUTPUT
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, February IA
very marked improvement has been
shown in the general quality Of eggs
offered for sale in the State of Viz
ginia during the past four years" and
so great change has taken place that
the producer of eggs In this State is
now able to ship his product to the
larger Eastern markets and in many
instances obtain large premiums for
his product
These statements are contained In
letter written by an official of a large
brokerage company I'm Virginia to F.
C. Brazeal director OF the dairy and
food division of the State department
of agriculture. Statements made in
the letter. the official wrote. are based
on an analysis of the egg industry In
Virginia recently completed by the
statistical department of the company.
The letter is in part as follows:
Receipts of the different grades Of
eggs for the year of 1928. as compared
to the years, 1927, 1926 and 1925, into
the larger Virginia markets indicate
very large increase in consumption. as
we'll as production.
There can be no doubt but what q
very marked improvement has been
shown in the general quality of eggs
offered for sale in the State of Viz
ginia during the past four years. The
demand from the packers, jobbers and
other wholesale distributors Of eggs has
clearly shown us that the consuming
public benefits greatly from the inSpec
ton and educational service rendered by
your department.
1T is matter of common knowledge
among the dealers in eggs that for a
great many years Western and North
ern shippers of eggs would ship their
fancy packs of eggs to the Boston. New
| York and Philadelphia markets. and the
| second grade packs to the Southern
markets, where less attention was being
| paid to quality and proper grading. This
| situation, We are pleased to state. has
been drastically changed during the
past few years. Inspection made By our
inspectors show that instead of the
receipts of eggs in Virginia markets
showing large percentage of under
| grade and off-grade eggs each year. the
| past four years have shown great
| improvement in quality and grading AS
result we find that the general trade
| demand has reached a point where
undergrade and second quality eggs arc
a drag on the market, and the best is
none too good"

NEW HAVEN, Conn, February A.
The stock market frightened and
strengthened toward the end of last
week with big advances Thursday in
many of the market favorites, sending
the price indexes up to new high marks.
The weeks performance was spotty,
however. The entire industrial list ad-
vanced less than u per cent. Bonds
were stationary. Rails and preferred
shares moved up only fractionally, but
the utilities group scored a sharp in
crease. The best group advance was
again in the motors, with General
Motors, Nash and Studebaker conspic-
uous.
Despite Thursdays sharp rises in ia
vorites and the new high records for
the industrial indexes, only three of the
industrial groups showed gains for the
week, and that of steels was scarcely
noticeable. The rise in the miscella-
neous group was largely attributable to
Du Point, General Electric and National
Cash Register, which showed gains for
the week of IS to so points each.
The stores, foods. coppers. accessories
and oils groups all showed slight de-
clines, that of the stores being most
marked, their index going off ~ points,
or over / per cent. National Bellas
Hess, National Tea and Shattuck were
each of S points or SO. The market
leaders pegged up a heavy average adj
