NEW YORK, December 18.-Com-
parison of the relative position of rail-
roads in 1929 against 1920 indicates
that at the beginning of this year plant,
facilities, equipment and financial stu
ations were the best in their history.
The current business depression and the
emphasis placed upon the menace of
rate reductions, increasing taxation,
highway and pipe line competition by
the roads themselves have resulted in
wide public overestimation of present
and potential Universities besetting rail-
roads in general, according to current
bulletin Of the Standard Statistics Co.,
which continues, in part:
ultimate improvement in funda-
mental business will unquestionably be
followed by upturn in railroad traffic
and earnings, based on the progressive
improvement in operations displayed
over the past decade Compared with
the first 10 months of 1929 there was
an increase this year in the number of
locomotives and freight cars installed
in service, the latter showing an In
crease over any corresponding period
since 1925. Curtailment of equipment
additions is in prospect in coming
months as result of the smaller num-
Der of freight cars and locomotives on
order as of November l."

CHEMICAL PRICES DROP
ON IRREGULAR BUYING

NEW YORK, December 18.-Con-
sumers have been slow to place COM
mitments for requirements over next
year and heavy chemical producers. in
attempting to stimulate buying interest.
have maintained a competitive market,
with the result that contract prices
for many chemicals in the past month
were lowered below the figures quoted
in the preceding month, Chemical &
Metallurgical Engineering reports. I'm
certainty regarding the prospects for
the coming year undoubtedly has held
back contract buying, but the re-
iuctance of buyers also has been
strengthened by the unstable price posi-
ton of the market.
Sharp declines in prices for liquid
chlorine and ammonia, together with
reductions in acetic acid, formaldehyde
and white lead, brought further de-
cline in the weighted index number,
which settled at 93.17 for this month,
against 1882 last month and 1918 in
December, 1929. So far as fundamental
conditions are concerned, last month
brought forth no new situations which
might be interpreted as price factors.
However, the fact that producers are
now Offering many chemicals at close
to production costs should give greater
confidence in the stability of prices.
Chemical production, while showing
some let-down from the rate main
tanned in the immediate preceding
months, does not appear to have fallen
off to the same degree as is reported
for industry in general. The movement
of chemicals to consumers in November
did not come up to expectations, but
more recently there has been some re-
vival in contract business, and while
trading undoubtedly has been quick
ened at the cost of values, nevertheless
the effect is shown in an increase In
the advance sale of next years pro-
duction of chemicals.

OUTLOOK IN GOLD
MINING IS BRIGHT
Producers Have Enjoyed
Firm PriceS-0ther Metals
Reviewed.
BY ARTHUR W. ALLEN.

Editor of Engineering and MininG Journal.
The non-ferrouS metal mining In
duSrfieS have shared In the industrial
depression that has been characteristic
OF 1880, having been burdened with re-
duced consumption, excessive stocks Of
metal, production greater tAan was re-
quired and low prices, below the aver
age cost OF production IN many in
stances. AS the year closes, however,
there are definite indications that an
Improvement has already set In which,
II continued, as seems likely, may result
In normal amount of business and
fair prices by the end of the coming
year. Few of the well established plants
In America can be termed old-fashioned,
but improvements are constantly being
made, especially in the realm OF ore
concentrating and smelling, and any
IDEAS OF cutting costs by bringing plant
and process up to date are likely to re-
ceive speedy adoption.
Action to Help Copper.
Copper has occupied the spotlight
during the year because of the unsIlc-
ceSSful attempt to stabilize the market
at IL cents. This price was quoted by
all sellers for exactly a year. AS con-
sumption dwindled many of the pro-
ducers curtailed mine production, but
many others continued at capacity, and
stocks OF the metal mounted rapidly.
The price was suddenly reduced 10 Il
cents on April Is, 1880, and subse-
quently declined to as low as 90 cents
IN october and November. This caused
real alarm to be felt by all producers:
ior some 1t meant an actual operating
loss ana Tor many 1t meant a discon-
tlnuance OF all dividends. Therefore a
conference OF representatives of about
W per cent OF world copper production
was arranged and it was decided to
curtal production further, substantially
70 accord with consumption and to pre-
vent 1urtner accumulation of stocks,
Wnlcn had risen from 295, 900 tons IN
March, 1929, to over COS 600 tons AZ the
end Of October, 1880.
Inc zinc and tin industries have also
suffered from continued increases in
STOCKS, accompanied by prices recedinq
20 ngures at or below the cost Of pro-
ouctlon Tor many companies.
Silver Lowest In History.
Silver, too, has suffered, not only
from the general depression in world
industry, but from revisions in err
rency systems making silver of less i'm
portance and from the disruption of
China: Its price receded to the lowest
point in history.
The record Of the last year Il not
entirely dark, however. Lead, for exam
pie, has held at a very satisfactory
price, compared with other commodi-
ties; not high, but well above the cost
OF production for the leading producers
consumption recently has been only
about three-quarters of what it was
last year, but production was curtailed
to correspond, so that no large stocks
were built up.
