VERDICT HALTS DROP
IN RAILROAD SHARES
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 22.-The innme-
diate effect on railroad stocks and rail-
road convertible bonds Of the favorable
decision Of the Supreme Court In the
OFallon case has been to check de-
cline In a group Of securities that was
steadily approaching the low average
Of the year.
The ultimate effect Of the decision on
railroad stocks must be postponed until
after the money situation clears and
prices for Industrial and public utility
shares 60 through a readjustment that
will bring them back to a basis where
they will attract investment buying.
Railroad men and bankers for the rail-
roads have been much encouraged by
the positive opinions of the majority
members of the Supreme Court in the
O'Fallon case and believe that this
marks the beginning Of a new era for
railroad securities.
The public has been weened away
from the rails" except for brief In
tervals, for nearly 10 years, mainly be-
cause the attitude of the Interstate
Commerce Commission In ohstructing
reasonable consolidation of the roads
and in their failure to carry out the
spirit of the transportation act. For
the past year the pubiic's attitude on
rails" has been increasingly bearish,
owing to the fear that when the Su-
preme Court decision on railroad val
uation was handed down 1t would not
be one that would finally dispose Of
the chief elements in the case and that
further prolonged litigation would insue.
The decision, however. has been more
favorable than those who presented the
case Of the railroads to the court had
anticipated.

Statement Recalled.
Recalling its agreement with the
boards statement February S, that IAN
excessive amount of the country's credit
has been absorbed in speculative secur-
ity loans" the council said:
THE policy pursued by the Federal
Reserve Board has had a beneficial
effect due largely to the loyal co-opera-
ZION OF the BANKS OF the country. Inc
efforts in this direction should be con-
tinued. The council notes. however,
while the total amount of Federal Re-
serve credit being used has been re-
duced "the amount of the countrys
credit absorbed in speculative security
loans has not been substantially low

Announcement of the councils action
