eral Screw Works, which reported
lower earnings because of the tapering
automotive output earlier in the year,
also rose a point.
Detroit Aircraft accounted for most

The 1928 and 1929 generation of
stock buyers were public utility-minded
just as the generation 25 years ago was
railroad-stock minded. 1t was also
industrial stock-minded. In spite of
the fact that the business conditions
which made for high earnings among
light and power companies. as well as
among corporations identified with iron
and steel, copper, motors, electrical
manufacturing, foods and retail and
wholesale distribution, also produced
the highest gross and net railroad earn
ings and tie best percentage of return
on property investment since 1925. It
was not the fashion to buy railroad
stocks. Wall Street can be as arbitrary
in ne matter of what it prefers in se-
curities and what 1t compels is clients
to buy as any populah Partisan cou-
fourier.
