DROP PREVAILS
IN CURB LIST
By THEODORE KOSLoW

NEW YORK. May 19.-Curb
stocks were on the downgrade
today, in what promised to be q
more active trading session, and
moderately lower levels were the
rule in the general list.
Speculative sentiment had ap-
parently been considerably dis
turbed by the inability Of the
market to move up in the con-
spicuously dull sessions Of last
week, and it was significant that
the heavy turnover in the first
hour of activity today. prices
were sliding off. Whether or not
this pointed to a continuance of
the downward movement was diff
ficult to say, but the insistent
pressure Of the offerings in the
principal trading favorites turned
many of the traders who had
been non-committal in previous
sessions to the bear side Of the
list, leaning to the theory that

of the market. what won't go
up will naturally 60 down.
There were, of course, the isolated
number of exceptions to the gen.
eral trend, which were able to
negotiate progress on the upside,
because either of special devel,
opmentS which were pending, or
due to group activity.
The utility group as a whole
favored the downside, although
declines were larger in many of
the more active favorites of re-
cent weeks. Among the issues
hardest hit were American and

RAIL EXTENSION
PLAN D. K'D

recommended the Abiline & East

construct 43 miles of new line
between Abiline and Cross Plains,
Tex.
The city of Abiline intervened
in behalf of the roads applica-
ton, asserting additional railroad
facilities are necessary to enable
the city to expand.
The application was also sup
ported by the Katy railroad on
the ground the proposed line
would restore to Abiline the active
railroad competition which it en-
joyed prior to the acquisition of
the Abi1ine & Southern by the
Texas & Pacific, and that it
would open up new territory.

UTILITIES PLAN
To ADVERTISE
WIDELY

American business will invest
$2O6, 900 900 in advertising in 1880,
statisticians estimate, E. Paul
Young, former chairman OF the
costs and results committee Of the
public Utilities Advertising associa
ton who is attending the twenty
sixth convention Of the Advertis
ing Federation Of America, said
today.
This represents an increase OF
$40, O,000,0 900 over last year and a
large part of it will be contrib
uted by the public utilities, the
expert said.
In reviewing the prospects for
the coming year, Young said.
"The active Stimulant of ad-
vertiSing must be administered
to business, particularly IL any
decline in industrial activity Is
to be cOunter-balanced.
Industrial development and
public utilities are linked in.
separately. The one reflects the
growth and progress of the.
other Manufacturers every
where are maintaining, as
much as possible, their adVertis-
ing appropriations in the face
Of business recession and the
utilities are setting the pace"
Young predicts a record year
in the matter Of customer owner.
ship. He continued:
Il believe that the total
amount Of money invested nv
customers In preferred stock of
public utilities corporations
this year will triple the amount
invested similarly in 1929.
One reason for this is that
many companies have not dis
tributed any shares for two or
three years and q new mass of
customer prospects is waiting
for the 1880 issues.
This will be year Of expan-
sion, l think, in the utilities
field. Advance figures of the
Federal census show a healthy
increase in population and big
development in towns and cities,
Naturally, with more people to
serve and more territory to
cover, the utilities will increase
operating and service facilities
and the money needed will be
invested, in a large degree, by
utilities customers"
1900 Experts Here
More than 1000 advertising
experts arrived in town yesterday
for the convention which will con.
tlnue throughout the week at the
Willard Hotel. President Hoover
will formally open the session
today with a reception on the
White House lawn shortly before
noon.

Dullness Sets Record

Dizziness Sets Record
Not since the day preceding the
Coolidge bull market" had such
dullness been experienced as we
witnessed Saturday. Only $780,.
900 shares changed hands, or at
the rate of less than 1000, 900
shares for a full five-hour session.
At this rate, it will be some time
before there is any real need fol
the new high-Speed tickers.
The bear element is following
strictly the old axiom, Never
sell a dull market short"
Government VS.. Business
There is a possibility that bust
ness improvement may get under
way as soon as Congress is ad-
journed for the summer. In fact,
it is quite probable that severaI
public utility mergers will take
place during the summer months,
because the bankers for several
companies are anxious to avoid
adverse criticism by legislators.
It is generally recognized that
the attitude of Washington is
proving a deterrent to business
progress, and that considerable
side-stepping will be necessary in
order to put over some pending
deals without Government inter-
ference.
The eyes of the financial and
business world will be centered on
United Corporation and It's as,
Soclated concerns during the next
few months, for this company is
now the acknowledged leader of
the utility field.
Recapitalization Gossip
You will hear more persistent
gossip during the next couple of
weeks about possibilities Of re-
capitalization in various indus
trial concerns. One of the reports
you will hear most often is that
Eastman Kodak is. about to split
its stock. There is a difference
OF opinion about the basis of
such Split-up, but in well-informed
quarters it is said that a five
for-one split would be warranted. :"
This hint will prove correct, in
my opinion. RufnorS Of Split-up
in case Threshing Machine are
becoming more persistent, but I
hear that there will be no re-
capitalization in this company
this year, or at least until the
price Of the stock is considerably
higher. Remarkable strength and
activity of American Tobacco
seems to bear out the reports
that directors are planning an
early split-up which would work
greatly to advantage of stock
holders. Tobacco stocks are in
high favor, because past records

TRUST FORMED
I D ADVISE
BUSINESS

Abandoning a traditional policy
Of reserved isolation, the Bank of
England has assumed public
leadership in the attempt to re-
vive commercial and industrial
conditions in Great Britain, &C
cording to a discussion Of this
situation published by the Com
merce Department today, follow.
ing a report from American
Trade Commissioner Roger r,
Townsend at London.
In taking this stand, the Bank
Of England has gone even farther
than did the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn, the comparable institution
in the United States, when the
stock market break was followed
by business depression. The re-
serve system assumed leadership
in the movement before the
break to prepare for the newt
able collapse, and, following that
financial crisis, to ease the money
market and mitigate its effect.
AbandOns Policy
Townsend said:
"The depression into which
Great Britain's basic industries
have lapSed during the past
few years has induced the Bank
Of England to abandon its
traditional policy of reserved
isolation and to assume public
leadership"
A company, known as the
Securities Management Trust, has
been formed under the auspices
of the bank, with a directorate
Of the government assisted by
an expert board Of business men
It's principal object is to assist
manufacturing firms with advice
and guidance in formulating
schemes for reorganization
amalgamation, and the acquisi
ton of new capital.
Another organization, the
Bankers Industrial Development
Company, has been formed tt
assist in the development Of in
dustries. 1t aims to accomplish
this by helping entire industries
or industrial regions, to reor
ganize along modern lines anc
to coordinate their activities. II
will not deal with individual
companies. but only with basic
industries Of major Importance.
No Capital Furnished
The development company vii
not furnish capital for reor
ganizations but will act as inter
mediary for the supply of funds
through the usual channels. Il
was expected this would result
in new issues of capital being
floated in the American market
Officials here were interested
in the scheme for the principal
reason that Great Britain is
Americas best customer and this
country's major source of supply
for raw materials. A revival OF
business in Great Britain WOULD
