however, had a depressing influence on

speculative confidence.
The record made by the railways in
April does not improve as the evidence
continues to pour in. With A roads
reporting, aggregate net operating in

50 per cent from April of 1929. The
nrSt IA reports indicated a decline of
less than 27 per cent. Some of the
more important trunk lines such as
pennsylvania, and Baltimore g. Ohio
showed relatively better results than
average. The decline in farm imple-
ment output Is now reported as more
drastic than normal for this period.
Reports from the petroleum industry,
however, were more favorable. Early
estimates indicate q curtailment in
crude production last week Of more than
$4,000 barrels daily.
