half of $2,192,393 excess earnings
from March l, 1920. to December
81, 1928.
The tentative report of the ex-
aminers followed a study Of the
roads books and valuation for a
period of approximately four
years. 1t holds that the com.
pany'S earnings were in excess of
the legal fair return provided by
the transportation act of 1920,
under which the railroad ttarted
to operate Immediately after the
Government relinquished its war
time control, and which is still
effective.
In the report it was found that
in the 10 months from March /,
to December 81, 1920, the r. r. g.
P's excess earnings amounted to
$4,000. There was no excess
earned in 1921, but in 1922 the
amount was fixed at 1908 .025 and
in 1928 at $1,129, 1853. If the re.
port is sustained, one-haf of the
total excess is subject to recapGure

ON MARKET
OUTLOOK

The following is comment on
the outlook of the stock market
as expressed by leading Wall
Street financial houses:
The immediate situation is SO
confused that an opinion on the
course of the market can have
no logical basis. From a tech
nical viewpoint there is no justi-
ficatio1 for optimism If the mar
ket goes Immediately into a dull
trading range.--OTIS 81 Co.
The fluctuations in toda US
short session will probably prove
meaningless alterations of weak
ness and strength and no attempt
to assume a definite direction
can be looked for in the early
I ira ding next week.-HORN.
BLOWER & WEEKS.
From a trading standpoint, we
still adhere to the policy of sell
ing stocks on all rallies as we do
not believe that many stocks have
touched their bottom prices
SUTRO & CO.
Continue to advise a trading at
titude and that profits be taken
or holdings lightened on sucn
further recoveries as occur
JOHN MUIR g. co.
Prices in general seem to be es.
tablished in a trading area, which
is likely to be maintained for a
period pending a clearer perspec-
tive of the business outlook
MUIR & LOOMS.
On recessions the market ap-
pears to be safe for moderate trad.
ing activity. A quiet summer
market appears to be developing.
-CUSICK, KENT & CO.
For those who have idle funds,
and can make discriminating
purchases, there is long list of
stocks that looks extremely at
tractive, Judging by present prices
and past history.-F. B. KEECH
d co.
Look for an irregular market,
but would be sure to have a Ger.
tain part of capital conservatively
invested in good stocks as much
higher levels seem almost certain
later in the year.-TOBEY &
KIRK.
Such reactions as appear should
be taken advantage of as buying
opportunities with the expecta.
ton of renewed advance in due
course.-BEER & co.
For the time being we would
buy for trading only on weakness
and be inclined to sell on the
rallies, being content with a few
points profit.-MELADY & co.
Market movements are domin-
ated to a large extent by profes-
sional operator and as long as
this condition existe we believe it
will continue to be a traders
market.-W. J. WOLLMAN g. co.
From every standpoint and
based upon past indications the
type Of market we are now wit
Messing. which may continue for
time but Is a market wherein
accumulation unmistakably takes
place.-HARRISS & VOSE.

CURB SHARES GAIN
F.. IN ACTIVE TRADING
Oils, Utilities and MiSceIIa-

By JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to TIE Star.
NEW YORK, May 14.-Under the
leadership of utilities, oils and miscel-
laneous industrials, today's active curb
market worked toward higher levels.

Long Island Lighting, wide mover al

day decline and Eastern States Power

Although the Street heard that
new exchange offer between Standard

issue barely budged in the first two
hours. Merger rumors, coupled with or
ganized buying, fractionally lifted Hous-
ton Oil new.

utility traders action, as 1t moved up
and down points at time. Deere &

Natural gas issues, despite mergers
earnings and new financing lacked the
buoyancy that marked their trading
earlier in the week. Around midday
many of these issues rallied from their
relapses at the opening, but they re-
manned dull.

cloud of April copper statistics than

Mining opened up 21a points, but soon
lost this advance and moved erratically.

NEW LOAN FAVORED
BY Low INTEREST
Uncle Sam Likely to Obtain
100000 900 on Very
Easy Terms.
BY JOHN l.. COOLEY,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, May 14.-Unless all
indications are askew, Wall Street be-
lieves Uncle Sam is about to borrow
S100,000,0o0 on the most favorable terms
that have come his way in several years.
The Treasury tomorrow opens bids
on its large block of discount bills,
and bankers here will not be surprised
If the issuance Is placed on a discount
basis of about 2,40 per cent The last
offering, sold month ago. was on a
2.98 basis. but since that f1otation
money rates have eased considerably
and banks are expected to bid higher
for the forthcoming non-interest-bear-
ing Government paper.
The discount bills made their debut
in this country several months ago and
are now appearing at regular intervals.
Great Britain does her short-term
financing in this manner, and the
American Treasury last Fall decided
to experiment along similar lines. So
enthusiastic has been the banks re-
spouse to the offerings that the periodic
issuance of the bills has become part
OF the Governments fiscal policy
although there is apparently no lnten-
ion OF abandoning, at least imme-
latter carries interest and may not be
oftered below par, whereas the bill
bears no interest, but is sold at a dis
count on the best bids, and is re-
deemable at par.
The Treasurys financial operations
afford perhaps the closest estimate of
basic credit conditions. A year ago next
month the Governments certificates of
Indebtedness were burdened with a 5ls
per cent coupon. Interest rates were
then advancing steadily toward the peak
attained in late Summer, and even Sc
curit1es with the highest rating had to
fail In line with current market condi-
tons.
Today, OF course, the reverse Of the
picture Is being displayed. Some econo-
mistS contend that money Is now too
cheap and tina. the successive lowering
of rates facilitated the first quarter
bloom In stocks, Towering that proved
to be quite premature because the plant
had not been rooted In the nourishing
soil of real business improvement.
On the other hand, it is pointed out
that cheap money will eventually help
industry to revive, although the Federal
Reserve statements have not yet re-
flected an expansion of credit along
those lines. The last condition state
ment OF the member banks, reporting a
decline of $122,000,000 in loans on Sc
curities in the past week, also showed a
rise of $10,000,000 in "all other" loans.
but this gain was hardly received with
tumultuouS applause. Nevertheless,
when viewed in company with the state
ments Of the past fortnight, it suggested
that the steady drop in commercial
loans had been arrested, and this trend
was regarded as favorable.

0y ZIG EAooOSIdbGb 4CSo'
CHICAGO. May 14.-Financiers from
throughout the Nation joined with the
Chicago Stock Exchange Monday night
in celebrating what was described as the
most successful year of its history.
More than 2,100 brokers and their
guests attended the annual banquet,
among them being William S. Muller,
president of the New York Curb Ex-
change; Samuel F. STREET, president of
the New York Clearing Corporation;
Arthur G.. Hilmer, president of the st.
Louis exchange, and AZ. j. Crawford,
president of the Toronto standard stock
and mining exchange.
Samuel insult, utilities magnate, talked
on utility financing.
r. Arthur Wood, president of the
Chicago exchange, presided and reviewed
the progress and expansion of the ex-
change which so far in 1880 has done
volume in stock transactions 10 per
cent greater than in the same period
last year. The exchange called atten-
ton to the fact that not one of its
members failed to meet his obligations
during the crash last Fall.
Ticker service of the Chicago ex-
change now includes approximately $50
in 40 cities, as compared with 124 tick
ers in two cities only three years ago,
Mr.. Wood said. Volume of trading has
increased several hundred-fold during
the same period, with member Offices in
pit cities in the United States, England
France and Canada.
Sales on the Chicago exchange last
month were 10,325, 100 shares, exceeding
100000 shares month for the Sec

was located IN the cellar under the addition
which projected from the center OF the main

OF Charity were in this adaitiOn-0Ver the
furnace-and the three medical cadets had q
room on the floor above. The rOoms of the
sisters were filled with smoke about half an
hour after midnight, and the sister superior
flrSt gave the alarm. They had barely time
to hurry on their clothing and escape, leaving
everything but the clothing they had On Ia the
burning building. Their cries brought in the
guard and soon the alarm became general.
