SENTIMENT BETTER
IN METAL MARKET
Larger Automobile Output
HelpfuI-Foreign Copper
Sales Are Fair.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. August p.-Trade sem
timent in the steel market was A trifie
more optimistic during the week as a
result of increased automobile produc-
ton and the reports from the Chicago
district that business, in some instances,
was the best IN weeks. However, other
important points failed TO reveal mar
ket activity, but on the other hand
reported continued caution on the part
of the buyers In the matter of placing
future contracts. Prices were somewhat
irregular. The July ingot production
rate was the lowest since September,
1924. Pig iron was UNCHANGED, but the
market was more active.
Foreign buying Of copper continues
in fair volume. but domestic consumers
who are well supplied. are practically
out of the market, There has also been
some disposition to await the July
statistics before making further COM
mitments. Export sales are now the
chief sustaining factor, although re-
sumption OF activity In some industries
using copper is expected 10 improve
home demand TO some extent Pro-
ducers continue 70 quote electrolytic at
III cents delivered in the Connecticut
Valley.
Tin prices moved over a narrow range
with apparently no dernite course The
consuming demand remained routine.
Lead was firmer and while demand
was good early in the week there were
signs of it subSiding later as larger
consumers filled their August require

WEEKLY BANK CLEARINGs.

Bank clearings for the first week of
August at leading cities in the United
States, as reported to Dun's Review, of
So, 688, 100000 are IS per cent. below
those of the corresponding week of last
year. At New York the figures this
week are $6,636, 00O, 900 and show loss
of % per cent, while for the cities
outside of New York the total of S.
052, 290, 900 Is TIA per cent smaller.
Bank clearings last year we're exception
ally high for several months through
out the Summer and Fall. Two years
ago conditions were more nearly normal
and the report this week shows a gain
over the figures for that period. There
is an increase at New York and at
number of the leading outside centers,
among them Chicago, Boston, Philadel-
phia and Cleveland. The total this
week for the leading centers outside of
New York is higher than that for the
same week in August. 1928.
Clearings for the week. as reported to
r. G. Dunn & Co., and average daily
bank clearances for the last three
months are compared herewith:

what distorted because Of the fact that
the railroads credited back mail pay
amount of more than $31 900 900. About
two-thirds was credited during the first
half and the balance during the second
half of the year.
When it comes to traffic improvement
in the second half of the present year,
indications are that the Western roads
will draw the largest gains, because the
Autumn is normally their best season,
owing to crop movement.
Both Western and Eastern roads will
benefit by rate decisions recently
handed down which promise to in
crease revenues by more than $50 000,-
600, of which the bulk will accrue to
Eastern lines. The benefit of those
advances will not be felt really until
next year, as increases are not going
into effect until late in 1880.

DROUGHT MAKES LOAN
PAYMENTS DIFFICULT
Reduced Farm Incomes Will Force
Banks to Extend Time
for Customers.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, August g.
Overshadowing every other factor in
the business situation of the Middle
West Is the serious effect of the long
continued drought, with high tempera-
lures, surprising in its damage any
similar condition in a score of years.
Coming on top of the low price level
for grain and farmstead by-products. It
has brought problem not alone to the
producer, but to his creditors. Baking
skies since the LIST of July, with only
local showers, have caused a loss to
farmers through their live stock opera
lions that, while less spectacular than
the wheat situation, has been in many
ways more serious.
The cattleman has borrowed from his
bank to finance a feeding process. He
has lost not only his original invest
ment but also added sums through the
losses involved in the low market Of
the Spring and Summer. The banks
have been affected much as in the de-
flation period of 1921, though not in
so great percentage. Their effort to
carry their customers of this class
entail a long experience and in many
instances embarrasS the smaller insti-
tutions that have been heavily in
volved in this class of loans.
While early Autumn rains will help
the rough feed condition, the corn
shortage and the consequent higher
price will make 1t dificult for the aver
age farmer to engage in what has been
his Winter occupation all through
Iowa, Missouri, Eastern Nebraska and
Eastern Kansas. Banks are in no po-
sition to aid in financing this activity.
at least until there Is more selling Of
wheat. 1t Is believed by the wheat
farmers that the wheat price will i'm
prove, because Of the corn situation.
Many are already using wheat for feed,
as it is cheaper than corn.

WALL STREET, N. Y, August g.
Despite heavy decreases in net operat-
ing income reported by railroads for the
first half of the year, it Is the present
disposition of railway executives to
maintain dividends this year even If not
earned That news doubtless will be
welcome to investors in railroad shares
who have been perusing reports show
ing shrinkage in profits month after
month.
The feeling in railroad circles is that
business Is more likely to improve than
to grow worse next year, even If such
improvement does not set in during
the last four or flve months of the
present year. 1t is felt that the roads
are financially in a stronger position
than in many years and therefore are
better able than before to draw upon
surplus to maintain dividends.
Position Of Carriers.
The present depression in business is
popularity compared with conditions ex-
isting about a decade ago. 1t is true
that a parallel can be drawn between
the two periods. On the other hand the
parallel is not complete, at least so far
as the railroads are concerned. They
emerged from Government control after
the war with physical properties ser1-
ouSly run down, heavily burdened with
short-term debts, with millions Dor
rowed on ordinary bank loans and with
other millions of audited short-term
notes outstanding and unpaid even in
the case of the largest systems.
In those years the railroads were so
reduced financially that they had lost
their credit standing and were I'M
able to float any refunding issues. AS
an outcome they had to borrow from
the Government through revolving
fund, their total Indebtedness piling
up to nearly $500 900 900. That enor-
nous sum has been paid off with the
exception of about $60.000,0 900. Mean
while the railroads have liquidated
their bank loans and are meeting their
bills promptly. Most of the well man
aged systems have enough surplus cash
to meet dividend obligations where the
latter are not fully covered by earnings.
1t is we'll known that good many
roads, more particularly those which
have only in recent years paid high
dividends will fail far short Of covering
their requirements this year. 1t is not
possible to ascertain just what is the
income of the majority of the railroad
companies, for the reason that monthly
reports to the Interstate Commerce
Commission as a rule cover only operat-
ing revenue. They omit mention OF
"other income" in all but a few cases.
However, operating revenue has dropped
so drastically that even If allowance is
made for usual "other income" divi-
dends of many road will not be fully
covered unless business improves tire
mendously in the second half OF the
year.
Analysis of Returns.
Analysis of railroad returns reveals
the fact that roads operating in the
South have been hardest hit by the eco
nomic depression. Their average -
crease in net operating revenues for
the first six months was 1878 per cent.
Western roads we're q little better on,
with an average drop of 34.3 per cent,
while Eastern companies Jared best,
with an average decline of 27.8 per cent.
