RAILROAD
SYSTEMS GROWING
Great Progress in New
Method of TranSporta-
ton Is Noted.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Progress of railroad identification in
the United States and in foreign coun-
tries during the last year indicates a
very lively interest in this subject.
Many installations are being made,
says the National Electric Light Asso-
citation, others are promised for the
receiving much study. but have not
yet been formally decided upon.
The Baltimore e. Ohio line has an
nounced its intention of electrifying
the main line of the Central of New
Jersey and the Reading, contingent
upon the expected consolidation of
these carriers into its system. The
length of this line is 224 miles, all of
which has two or more tracks. Last
year the Reading announced it would
electrify its suburban lines in the vicin-
ity of Philadelphia, intimating probable
extension to New York, Bethlehem &c
Reading. The program at that time
covered so miles of route and ITO miles
of track. 1t has now been decided to
electrify also l0-mile spur known as
the Doylestown Branch.
The Pennsylvania has expanded
greatly its program, which, as an
nounced last year, included the cleo
trif1cation of all services between New
York City and Wilmington. Following
the conclusion of plans for new and
larger tunnels at Baltimore, the south
ern terminus of identification was
moved from Wilmington to Washington.
Completion of this project will give the
system 799 miles of line and 2,759 miles
of track electrically operated.
Electrification of the Montclair branch
of the Delaware Lackawanna e. West
ern is approaching completion. The
Illinois Central has completed and
placed in operation the electrification
Of its freight services north of Thirty
ninth street. Chicago, with more than
81 miles of track wired for this service.
The New York Central is engaged in
electrifying its west side freight line,
which extends nearly the whole length
of Manhattan Island.
Reports from other countries indi-
cate large expenditures for electrical
ton. In England great deal of study
is being given to main line electrifi-
cation. Plans are being made by the
Canadian National Railways for q. COM
plete revision of their terminal proper
ties at Montreal, involving an expendi-
ture of more than $50, 100000 over the
next five years. In France a second
line through the Pyrennes has been
opened by the Midi Railway, extending
rom Axles-Thermes to Ripull, Spain.
Other activities are reported from Ar
gentlna, Australia, Austria, Brazil Chile,
Costa Rica, Denmark, Germany Hun
gary, India, Italy, Madagascar, Mexico,
morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Siam,
spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

NEW YORK, october 6.--What the
American people need is "a psychological
shake-up that viii cause them TO re-
sumo their normal buying habits &C
cording to DR. Stephen l., Miller, execu-
tive manager Of the National Associa-
ton of Credit Men. This view OF the
current business situation is expressed
in the OCTOBER bulletin of the associa-
ton, which was being sent to members
today.
Our great purchasing power Is now
static, rather than dynamic" DR.. Miller
says, I'VE have a fine lot Of logs, but
they are still in a jam. The lumber
jack who can spot the key log and pry
it loose with his 'peavy will be a real
hero"
DR.. Miller takes the view that recent
trade developments show an undercur-
rent of strength, and that the con-
tinued Improvement in collections gives
reasonable grounds for a more hopeful
outlook.
Although production in general has
not yet shown uhmistakable signs OF
strong comeback he continues, many
lines of business have begun to feel the
quickening effect of seasonal improve
ment. In certain lines the advance
clearly more than seasonal"
The bulletin includes the results OF
survey of wholesale trade in Virginia,
West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, the
Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. Sixty
eight per cent of the firms contributing
to the survey reported larger sales in
August than in July, although a slight
ma jority-55 per cent-reported smaller
collections.
For the next six months 70 per cent
of the firms anticipated improved sales
and collections, % per cent no substan-
tial change and Z per cent less favor
able conditions.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, october Especially The
wheat market had a good rally in the
closing hour today as result OF short
covering based on the decrease of 2,739,-
900 bushels in the visible supply. This
is the first decrease since the crop
movement started. The full price ad-
vance did not hold, however, because OF
profit taking by Eastern longs.
Corn showed greater strength than
wheat. Locals bought aggressively in
this market because of unfavorable
husking returns.

Preferred Stocks

studies in preferred stock by Mr.. Hughes
for the benefit of his readers. He

The preferred stock of the Eastman
Kodak Co. is entitled to the highest
possible investment rating for industrial
security of that type. 1t has nearly
every feature desirable from the stand
point of the most conservative investor.
The market price. would be proof Of
these statements were no other avail
able.
Eastman Kodak preferred is per
cent cumulative and it sold this year
as high as $3.50 a share, where the
Weld is 49, per cent. Now what are
the reasons for this high market APP
praisal? In the first place the supply
is limited. Total preferred outstanding
is only $6,165, 700, or 1857 shares. The
stock then has a scarcity value. In the
second place it Is non-callable, which
is always an advantage in high-grade
preferred Thirdly, it has 10 votes per
share to l vote per share for the
common. -
Back in 1922 Eastman Kodak com
mon, then of 500 par, was exchanged
for no-par stock in the ratio of l old
for 10 new and at that time in order
to preserve relative voting power the
preferred was given 10 votes instead OF
/ as before Fourthly. there is no capl-
tai liability ahead of the preferred stock.
Eastman Kodak has no bonds Finally,
the earning protection might fairly be
called excessive.s In 1929 the company
had net available for preferred dividends
equivalent to $356.89 share, or more
than three and one-half times the par
value of the senior stock. In the last
10 years there has never been less than
5000 for the preferred and that covers
the 1921 depression.
OF course. as every one knows. the
common itself commands n high invest
ment rating and sells in the market on
a low-yield basis. That point Is made
here only to emphasize the qualiS; OF
the preferred. It remains only 70 ex-
anime the Eastman Kodak latest balance
sheet. AS of December %. 1929 all

ALLIED CHEMICAL.

NEW YORK, October Especially -
The short interest in Allied Chemical
is said to be one of the largest in any
of the high-priced industrial stocks.
Recently brokers had difficulty in bor-
rowing 100-share lots. Although the re-
turn on Allied Chemical is only 2l2 per
cent, there is a class of investors who
prefer it to other stocks yielding twice
as much, as they expect in time that
the appreciation will literally compen-
safe them for the present low earning
power which the stock provides.
