NEW YORK. July 17-Although
the premature assumption that the
Steel Corporation was about to rec
ommend an increase or an extra
dividend has failed to materialize.
the elimination of the bonded in
debtedneSS removes the need for
continuing the sinking fund. which
will naturally react to the benefit of
common shareholders in the form of
increased earnings and with indi-
Gated earnings of better than $40
a share for the year. even the steel
corporations well known conservative
policy would not be seriously
strained by an increased payment to
stockholders We can not Justify
anything but a favorable attitude
toward the steel shares. particularly
so in view of the increase in opera
tons during the summer season
when curtailment has always been
the rule. Also We have car load
Ing statement this morning showing
another substantial increase over
the same week a year ago. again
drawing attention to railroad shares.
Eliminating the substantial savings
and increased earnings to be
brought about by eventual mergers,
the rails have been showing most
gratifying increases in net earnings.
Southern Pacific is a case in point.
We notice that earnings for the
year are conservatively estimated at
better than $13 a share. Surely such
earnings justify expectations for
increased dividends and We are in
clined to think that the rails Just
now are perhaps in better market
position than the induStrials which
appear to be attracting extensive
nrofit taking.

NEW YORK. July 17.-ASide from
outstanding strength in number
of special issues. there was little
feature of stock exchange trading
today. and pivotal shares moved
narrowly.
Attempts 10 force liquidation in
the general list met with failure in
the early dealings. and active issues
rallied TO around their previous clos
ing levels in the afternoon. ST.
multaneous ease in the call loan
market facilitated the recovery.
However, leaders like steel, Gen
eral Motors. American Can. Penn
sylyania and International Tele-
phone and Telegraph met heavy
offerings of stock around their
previous closing levels.
On the other hand. sensational
forward movements we're staged by
Case Threshing Machine and Johns
Manville. the former issue selling
at 4 new record high.
Mail Orderss Buoyaut
Public Service of New jersey,
United Gas improvement and Amer
lean Radiator and Standard SAM
tary we're outstanding strong spots,
all selling at new 1929 highs on eX-
tremely heavy trading.
Montgomery Ward and Sears
Roebuck we're buoyant on special
buying induced by the further recoy-
cry in wheat prices, amounting to
more than cents a bushel today
Stocks of other companies to ben
eft from this increased purchasing
power were also strong and active.
Food shares we're firm. but did not
make as vide gains as made in the
previous session.
Rails Quiet, Oils Firm
Rails were again under the inf1u-
ence of extensive rOflt-taking, al
though some buoyance was dis
played by Delaware, LackaWanna
81 Western. Kansas City Southern
and ST. Louis Southwestern. New
York Central and Atchison we're
notably quiet.
Oils were fimer under the lead
erslip of Pan-American B, while
CopperS were stimulated by strong
buying of Anaconda. which sold at
new high on the current recovery.

Stubble Crop Failure

Gravelbourg reports stubble crop
failure with farmers turning in
their stock or blowing down coarse
grains. Pastures are dried up in
places. Riverhurst and Glenboro
subdivisions in the south also show
increasing drought damage over
last week.
Much of the crop in northern and
central Alberta appears to be dam
aged beyond repair. Early soWn
fields are largely a failure and late
crops are progressing i'll direct pro-
portion to the rain received.
Some rains occurred in these areas
during the week which have natur-
ally improved local areas, but half
crop estimates continue in the ma
iority, as in many sections Of the
other provinces. A few good fields
may be found, but their frequency
in Alberta leaves much to be desired.
