CITY WANTS RAILWAY
IN TRUNK LINE SYSTEM

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, July 13.-Inclusion of
the Western Maryland Railway in the
trunk line system proposed by the
Wabash Railroad would realize the very
plans the city of Baltimore had in mind
when it sold the Western Maryland
road 81 years ago to syndicate,
Winslow S. Pierce, representing the
Wabash, declared.
Pierce, a member of the syndicate
which purchased the Western Mary
land from the city in 1902 for So, sos, 81 g,
made the declaration at meeting here
yesterday, called to determine the
citys position regarding the merger
proposed by the Wabash.
Other members of the purchasing
syndicate were the late Myron T. Her
rick, who was American Ambassador
to France, and Edward L. Fuller.
Mayor Broening, who was present at
the hearing, pointed out that the rea-
son the city sold the Western Maryland
in 1902 to a syndicate from which it
received about 100000 less than
could have been obtained from other
purchasers was in anticipation of the
fact that a new railway system would
be developed and the Western Mary
land accordingly would not be strangled
by competing roads.
Pierce declared that the purpose of
the Wabash in the merger plan, APP
plication for the realization of which
is pending before the Interstate Com
merce Commission, calls for the estab-
lishment of IAN independent system of
railroads-five, six and seventh
eastern trunk line territory"

PRAISE IS ACCORDED
TO. RESERVE BOARD
Policy Held to Be Preservation Of
Ample Funds for All Bust.
ness Needs.

In discriminating against borrowings for
security transactions the Federal Reserve
authorities have kept In mind the true
function Of the central bank reserves
and have been aware Of their respon-
sibilities to the fundamental business
interest Of the country, Is the opinion
Of A. G. Becker a. Co, expressed In
their current investment bulletin COW
ering the third quarter Of 1929. The
bulletin says:
THE theory Of a reserve institution
is that at times there occurs a great
rise In the money volume of business
and q demand for credit much larger
than the normal demand. The reserve
institution Is designed to take care of
that abnormal demand. But when
this peak comes 1t is temporary In
character and the increase in loans
necessary to handle 1t liquidates through
repaymentS and increased deposits
which flow through the banks into the
Federal Reserve and restore the nor
NAL reserve. The reserve Is for food
tides and not for q more or less perma =
nent rise in the level of bank credit
in use. II 1t were employed for more
or less permanent use, 1t would cease
to be reserve.
THE situation is not dangerous or
threatening to business Whenever a
rising demand for credit comes from
trade. the release Of a few hundred
millions of the reserve resources through
rediscounts. or by the purchase by the
Federal Reserve banks Of bills or Sc
curities will make money easy. The
reserve ratio will fall and with 1t the
interest rate. In other words. the
iak - ..
policy Is presumably that we still have
a reserve"

TOBACCO INDUSTRY
AIDS SUGAR GROWERS

Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July 13.--When Calvin
Coolidge gave Henry Ford Vermont
sap bucket. he was not presenting him
with relic Of bygone era. The maple
sugar industry is fast becoming big
business" and seems on the way today
toward systematic expansion and en-
largement.
The thing which has done the most
TO revive the maple sugar industry from
the list of casual occupations, strange as
1t may seem. is the increased popularity
of the cigarette.
The tobacco trade absorbs fully one-
third of the entire maple sugar output
of the Nation and the demand for pur-
poses OF curing and fiavoring tobacco
Is growing constantly. AS result the
farmers OF Virginia, the CarolinaS. Ken
lucky. Tennessee and Georgia are more
closely allied with rural Vermont and
New England in general than at any
time since before the Civil War.
This country now Is producing be-
tween 24500. 900 and 100000 pounds
of maple sugar a year. Canada Is turn
ing out about 100000 pounds. The
American yield this year was not as
good as usual, probably owing to wealth

the farmers $l49 q gallon for sap.
The cigarette industry is the second
heaviest individual consumer. taking
around 100000 pounds q year. Since
the production of cigarettes is growing
at q rate in excess Of 10 per cent year,
IT Is reasonable to suppose the sales of
maple sugar to tobacco manufacturers
will show a corresponding increase.
About 100000 pounds go into the
manufacture of candy. Sugar for the
blending Of drug store and soda foun-
tain sirups account for about 10000, 900
pounds. The demand for this purpose
also Is advancing rapidly. The re-
mainder Is sold in the form Of cakes or
strip for domestic consumption. The
Weld within the United States all comes
from native growth trees. New York
and Vermont together produce about
$1,000 900 pounds, Ohio $500, 900, Penn
sylvania about 100000. Maine $780,
600, New Hampshire 100000, with
scattering amounts coming from Wis
consin, Indiana and Iowa.

UTMOST CARE URGED
IN STOCK PURCHASES

In the current Barron's Financial
Weekly, the Trader insists that though
the f1are-up in the stock market Is not
surprising. "the two fundamental In
fiuences that govern its trend, viz,
money and earnings, cannot be alto
gether ignored by. those whose concern
Is for the long pull rather than for
short-term commitments" The long
sustained activity of business at a high
level may make for q severe instead
of a mild business REIMBURSEMENT: and,
already a few industrial leaders of
the Middle West are making their plans
for quieter business in the final quarter
of the year."
It Is not unlikely, Barron,s believes,
that "the market will continue to
broaden and that the ferment now
working in the highest grade issues
will spread to inferior stocks" Though
a market that has advanced SO strongly
is not likely to collapse suddenly, yet
"the general situation calls for the ut
most conservatism by long-pull opera
tors and more than the usual discrim-
nation and caution by short-pull
traders. Uprushes from now on may
represent professional distribution and
not capitaiistie accumulation"

NORFOLK & WESTERN
President Expects Business to Hold
Up Unusually Well During
Summer.

Railroad earnings for 1929 show every
prospect Of being unusually good, stated
A. G. Needles. president of the Norfolk
d Western Railway, prior to his de-
parture on the S. s. Aquitania for q
brief vacation abroad. I'm regards to
the Norfolk a. Western" he said, 1.-THE
volume Of trafic has shown little sign
of recession ordinarily occurring dur
ing the Summer months and the out
look for the remainder of the year Is
highly encouraging, Both gross earn
ings and net income of the Norfolk d
Western are running ahead Of 1928
The property is in excellent physical
condition and operating efficiency has
reached a high level. the month OF
May showing the lowest transportation
cost in our history. Coal loadings are
somewhat above normal at this time
and should continue to hold up we'll. as
bituminous coal stocks throughout the
country are still low"
Mr.. Needles stated that In his opinion
the recent OFallon decision Of the
Supreme Court should prove q con-
structive factor in clarifying the ques-
ton of rail valuation. "As 10 earnings
of the Norfolk & Western for the cur
rent year" he said, they should al
least equal and may even exceed the
results obtained In 1928"

NEW YORK, July 13.-The average
yield of industrial common stocks
around the LIST OF July was 40 per
cent, against Al per cent the first Of
the year, according to compilation
by the Standard Statistics Co. Of New
York, rejecting the higher dividend
rates in effect recently and the fact
that these dividend rates had increased
at relatively faster rate than stock
prices. Price-earning ratios for the
FIRST Of this month average 14.9, against

by different industries. In the case Of
yields, while the current average Is 80
per cent, the yields range from 1T per
cent for aircraft stocks to 7.3 per cent
for cotton goods. The current price
