BOSTON, May Changing condi-
lions in the textile manufacturing busi-
ness of New England are reflected in
the population returns of the 1880
census, compiled thus far in the va
rious cities Of the region. Although
complete figures for many cities in New
England are yet to be tabulated, totals
have been reported for several of the
larger communities in which textiles
form a basic industry. In several of
these cities, standing out as exceptions
to other large centers of population in
New England from which returns have
been reported, decreases are shown.
The largest textile centers are Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island In lesser
degree, the manufacture of cotton and
wooden goods, silk and other textiles
contribute to the business activities of
numerous cities in Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont.
Among the largest textile cities are
New Bedford. Fall River and Lowell, in
Massachusetts,; Manchester, N. H., and
Pawtucket, r. l., in which census re-
turns have already been compiled. OF
these, Pawtucket alone showed an in.
crease in population over that of 1920.
The decreases In the three Massachu-
sets cities ranged from to 5 per
cent in Fall River to 11.3 per cent in
Lowell. Pawtucket gained more than
40 per cent.
Conditions in the textile industry in
New England have been the subject
Of much discussion In the past few
years and commercial organizations
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-05-07

have devoted much attention to the
matter of depression" "curtailment"
and other problems.
New Bedford was credited with a
population of 121,217 in 1920 and 8,4l3
fewer residents this year.
Lowell recorded the largest popula-
ton drop decrease of 12,709 from the
1920 figure of 1879.
Manchester, N. H., recorded a loss
in population Of 1878 from the 1920
total Of 1884.
In some of the cities In which the
smaller textile plants are situated a
greater diversification of industry has
developed In recent years. At the same
time the textile industry has also
showed changes, with the increasing
manufacture of rayon.

RAIL BONDS WEAK
ON HEAVY SELLING
Remainder of List Holds
Fairly Steady Despite
Pressure on Carriers.
By F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 28.-The
feature Of todays investment market
was the weakness of railroad bonds.
This reflected the board selling move
ment in carrier stocks.
The immediate effect, as far as the
senior rail securities was concerned, was
not so much in the width of the move
nents but in their unanimity. This &C.
CURED in moderate trading and the rest
Of the list was not greatly affected.
Money rates were unchanged, the
current quotation for 90-day time money
remaining at to pa per cent. Nor
was the market affected by any large
budget Of new issues, the only offering

Az per cent bonds, due in 40 years and
priced to yield 4.96 per cent.
At the opening the market was firm
and 1t was not until near the end of
the first hour that the selling in the
rails was mirrored in prices. Atchison
general As dropped fractionally. South
ern Pacific AVS sagged over a point
and other seasoned investment issues,
like Canadian Pacific As, Northern Paci-
fic As, Chesapeake e. Ohio AIS and
Chesapeake Corporation SIS, had frac-
tional declines.
In the convertible group, of course
the movements we're more spectacular
Atchison convertible AIS dropped over
3 points, paralleling a wide drop in the
common stock. Allegheny SIS. Baltimore
g. Ohio 4i2s and Southern Pacific AIS
Q969) were also weak.
The indifference of the rest of the
prime list to this movement was illus
trated by the firmnesS of United States
Government obligations, which re-
manned at their high prices of the year,
and by small gains in American Tele-
phone 51as, Standard Oil of New York
AVS, Standard Oil of New Jersey SIS, Co.
lumbia Gas SIS and Western Union SIS.
The junior obligations of the rail-
roads, which in recent weeks have dis
counted almost every conceivable
species of bad news, did not move very
widely. Probably the weakest member
Of this group was the general mortgage
per cent bonds of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad. In this case the decline was
nearly 2 points. st. Paul adjustments
made a small gain, but there were de-
clines in Chicago Great Western As,
st. Paul SIS, Frisco 412s, Southern
Railway IS and Boston & Maine SIS.
Industrial issues were dull. National
Dairy Products 514s, American Sugar
Refining IS and Phillips Petroleum 5As
declined narrowly. New York City trac-
tions were active and little higher.

PROFITS or CHEMICAL
INDUSTRY HOLD UP WELL

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 28-Not-
withstanding a marked recession dur
ing the most recent quarter, earnings
Of the domestic chemical industry.
broadly viewed, have held UP compare
lively well SO far this year. says the
Standard Statistics Co. of New York
in current survey, which follows, In
part:
During the first nine months of
1880, for example, profits of the Is
leading companies in this field, exclu-
sive OF du Pont, declined by only 1877
per cent from the record returns of the
corresponding 1929 period, and exceeded
the result OF the similar months of 1928.
Aggregate corporate earnings, on the
other hand, not only were IS per cent
lower this year than in IL 1929 months,
but also were 1913 per cent under those
of the first nine months of 1928
While indications are lacking that
prof1ts In the chemical trade viii
undergo early improvement, the industry
should continue to make a better than
average showing. In view of its excep-
tional powers, furthermore, it should
be one Of the first industries to benefit
from the next upSwtng in general
business.
Because Of the disintegrated nature
Of the trace, with its many disconnected
divisions, a mixed trend IN results will
undoubtedly be witnessed. Thus, while
the sulphur and welding supply divi-
sions will undoubtedly continue to show
the most satisfactory results, conversely,
activities in other important lines, such
as carbon black, explosives, industrial
chemical, nitrate, dyestuffs, ETC., will be
far from gratifying. The latter lines,
additionally, will probably emerge rather
slowly from the present depression"

port business is expected to follow the
Inauguration next Summer of the Bal
timore Mail Steamship Co., with SAIL
ingS weekly with cargo and passengers
for Hamburg, Bremen and La Havre.
T. Archer Morgan, foreign resident
vice president of the company, arrived
in Baltimore from his headquarters In
Paris yesterday.
He said:
For the past several months have
talked with port authorities in Ham
burg, Bremen and Havre and with rail-
way officials and foreign government
representatives.
ION every hand there has been a
splendid spirit of cooperation and
most favorable reaction to the direct
service to Baltimore and the Middle
Western cities of the United States
which the new line will provide.
Europe welcomes fast express serv-
ice for passengers and freight of the
character the Baltimore Mail Line will
establish.
"Ohicials. exporters and importers
and passenger agents, all have expressed
their satisfaction at the schedule which
has been planned for, with fast cross
ing and frequency of sailings on both
east and west routes.
This is something that German
ports have not enjoyed since the sus--
pension of the North German Lloyd
sailings out of Baltimore, Is years ago."

ing Prosperity.

The black night of depression Is grow.
ing gray in the East from one month
to the next and from one day to the
next 1t is dificult to measure the rate
at which the business skies are bright
ening, but there Is feeling Of abso-
lutte confidence existing in the most in.
fluential business circles that the coun.
try is on the way back to the sunshine
of prosperity.
Improvement Is being shown In lines
where normally 1t Is not expected Fall
ure to improve is noticeable in lines
which usually respond to seasonal move
ments at this time of the year.
Holiday Buying.
The Thanksgiving holiday just over
is the last check which retail trade can
anticipate until the holiday buying "a
over. The volume of that buying gives
every evidence of being thoroughly sat-
tSfactory. Retail buying cannot do
otherwise than spur wholesale distribu-
ton and manufacturing production.
Commodity prices are being stabilized.
and no longer is there the inducement
to withhold purchases in the hope of
lower prices.
Bank loans for commercial purposes
have shown a decided increase. This
is an exceedingly favorable trend. Re-
serve member banks now have total
loans outstanding, other than those Sc
cured by stocks and bonds, Of approx
mately $8,770,000,000
The steel situation has been stabilized
materially. 1t may be some time be-
fore the present increased demand for
steel translates itself into increased mill
output, but the psychological relief to
the industry has been of the utmost
Importance. Automobile production is
slowly increasing. Men in the industry
say they would prefer to see it grow
slowly and in healthy manner than
to have it jump upward and put pro-
duction out of all touch with consump-
tive demand.
The non-ferrouS metals are still Ia O
decidedly unsatisfactory condition. The
oil industry is lettering its statistical
position. There is no longer, it Is
claimed, an excess of production. There
is simply an excess of supply, which Is q
far different thing and far less danger
Gus. The cotton textile industry has
with output closely adjusted to sales
and with no overburdensome stocks. In
fact, consumption has exceeded prcduc-
