KANSAS CITY, Mo-, october 25.-
Bankers conventions held through the
territory tributary to this city this week
have brought opinions on the probable
outcome of the next few months. Cen
orally it is felt that while trade will be
below normal, so far as anything except
essentials is concerned, there will be q
steady movement Of commodities within
the buying power of the interior.
Most bankers declared that the strong
banks in the larger centers are in ex-
cellent condition, while the small banks
in the little towns are running close to
their limit of reserves and in instances
are being closed by the boards of direc-
tors to save further complications.
At the same time money for essential
loans is fairly easy and farm loan funds
are ample. Rates on farm loans remain
as for 2 years at 5h per cent plus l
per cent commission and insurance
companies are furnishing funds for
loans literally. They, however. are so
limiting the conditions under which
loans will be made that the amount
loaned Is much below normal. Applica-
lions are heavy, but are sifted down to
the utmost limit in order that there
may be no chance of loss.
Some confidence Is expressed that
when the grain now being held goes to
market the financial situation will clear
to an appreciable extent. The one hope
of the business interests Is that there
shall be an elimination Of the buyers
indifference and the tendency to do
without commodities. condition that
has existed for the past two months.

NEW TAX|CAB LAW
NETS FIRST VICTIM
Judge Warns Hacks Must
Have Firms Name and
Number on Sides.

Declaring that the public is not aware
of the regulation, Judge Ralph Given
in Traffic Court yesterday took the per-
sonal bond of the first person to be ar
rested for violating the new law which
states that all taxis must bear the
trade name of the company or indi-
vidual and number of the car on its
side"
Spencer E. Coxen, taxi driver, was
arrested yesterday by Sergt. Joseph D.
Harrington of the Traffic Bureau.
Scarcely any one knows about the
law" said Judge Given. 1T has Just
recently been passed and 1 believe 1
should give warning before imposing
a fine or sentence"
The regulation was adopted by the
District Commissioners at the request
of the Public Utilities Commission. The
regulation was adopted and first pub
lished September %.
The arrest of Coxen followed a ride
in his cab by A. Blaine Mills, an en-
ploye of the commission. It was al
legged that the hacker had received a
warning from Sergt. Harrington.
The regulation provides that the trade
name OF the company shall be painted
on each side in letters not less than 2
inches high and that the number of
the vehicle shall be painted on the
front and rear in numerals not less
than inches high.

The growing confidence of investors
IN the stability of natural gas securities,
It was indicated, is due almost entirely
to q better understanding of the in

of the industry. This is heightened by
the fact that leading oil and electric

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 25.-Food COM
panieS, one Of seven industrial classifi-
cations which reported larger profits in
the first half of this year than of last,
accounted for more than one-third Of
the total number of companies in the
higher earning group, 1t is pointed out
by L. S. Carter & Co., who show that
the demand for food varies in proper
ton to population, rather than accord
ing to the state of business, and that it
presents one Of the bright spots at the
present time.
Consumption of food has in fact been
stimulated since the Fall Of 1929, it Is
said, by the sharp declines which have
taken place In nearly all important
lines from -four to dairy products,
canned goods. vegetables and many
brands OF package foods. Many pro-
ducers, 1t Is added, have worked of
their high-priced inventories and are
now benefiting from cheap raw mate
rails. The lower retail prices now pre-
vailing assure good profits to both the
manufacturers and the distributors, and
when the third quarter earnings are out
of the way, relieving the necessity Of
comparison with an abnormally high
earnings period, the trend of profits
should be more decidedly upward.
One-fourth of the Nations income
estimated at $ss, 600. 600 900 is spent an
nually for food, it Is said, or a total Of
$4,000, 000, 900, compared with only S.
500 1000 900 in q year Of peak autoino-
bile consumption, and with 1000, 0O0,-
900 for clothing and other textiles. This
makes the food group by far the larg-
est Of all industrial classifications.
Fall trade" says the survey, should
be brisk in the majority of the food
year when people begin buying deli
cacies, pastries, etc. While the outlook
for the food group as whole Is opti-
nistic, the future for the biscuit COM

special DlSpagcn TO Inc star.
NEW YORK, October 25.-Earnings
of petroleum corporations for the full
year will be well under the levels of
1929 and adequate improvement in oil
prices must APPARENTLY now await at
least the start of heavy consumption
next Spring, according to current
survey by the Standard Statistics Co.,
which follows, IN part:
THE improbable level of petroleum
prices continues as the main factor
responsible for the low rate of current
earnings among the great majority of
oil companies. Margins, particularly
for gasoline, are extremely slim and
have been further accentuated, to those
concerns marketing the bulk of their
product, by the extensive price wars
spreading throughout the country.
Cleveland is the latest area to report a
drastic cut in retail quotations, and 1t
Is doubtful that another price war can
now be averted on the Pacific Coast.
I'm the crude division, considerable
uncertainty currently centers around
price cutting in the mid-continent ter
ritory and the announced reductions in
certain Texas areas. While such reduc-
tions will, materially, aid some in widen
ing the profit margin of reflnerS they
will, nevertheless, be equally detrimental
to prodocers and, furthermore, will
weigh heavily against those concerns
caught with large supply of crude in
storage.
In the meantime, production of
crude remains under the beneficial
influence of strict proration throughout
the country, and this method of volun-
tary restriction has been given added
inone+uc nv the recent Oklahoma ST.
preme Court decision upholding the
constitutionality of the State oil con-
servation laws. In the refining divi-
sion. some further cut in he output OF
crude has been accomplished. Such
efforts to date, however, have not been
sufficient to offset the seasonal decline
in gasoline consumption and stocks
have been substantially added to during
the past week"

BOSTON, october 25.-The recent
failure of two New York Stock Exchange
houses has created an alarm all out OF
proportion to its importance, accord
ing to this weeks United Business Serv-
ice report. A little more than a year ago
brokerage firms were in condition OF
extravagant expansion, with many
branch Offices, expensive STATS and in
Hated margin accounts. They have since
gone through an extremely difficult
period Of retrenchment and liquidation.
Yet only 3 firms Of any Importance
have been suspended out Of total OF
some $40.
Brokers' loans have been reduced
about SO per cent from the 1929 peak
and this has been accomplished without
any suspension of trading on the ex-
change.
Certainly such q situation would not
be Viewed with alarm" in other lines OF
business or manufacture, and there is
no apparent reason why 1t should be SO
interpreted here.

NEW YORK, October 25.-Accord-
ing to the Financial World Index, Sc
curity values have been reduced 3d.
Ito, 000, 900 since the recession set in on
September 10. This compares with the
SIS, 070, 000,0 900 depreciation in the

TENDER values increased $500 ,000, 900.
The current week of october 16 to %,
inclusive, marks decline of $780,

The recovery on October 20 added
81 ,401 ,000,0 900 to values, but this was
abruptly Cancelled by the recession on
the 2lst-amounting to 81 ,230, 600, 900,
and the 22d Of $3.50, 900 900. The sharp
reduction In brokers' loans was well
proportioned to the decline in stocks
and accounted for little change in the
ratio Of loans to market values" which
stands at So per cent. The volume of
turnover in stocks, being so small, Is
hardly indicative of active public par
ticipation, which is undoubtedly limited
to some financial but mostly mental
distress selling.
With depreciation in market values
of 33,408 100000 since last Fall the
bulk OF the necessary liquidation has
probably been completed. Investment
demand Is being mildly felt but is not
