SHRINkAGE In CORN
CROP TO BE LARGE
Years Production Expected to FAN
300,0O0,000 Bushels Behind
Recent Estimate.

BY the Associated Press.
Oficials of the Department Of Com
merce announce there will be no ex-
portable surplus of the 1880 corn crop,
SAFE for possibly a figurative handful
in the form of meal for the nearby
West Indies Islands.
Corn exports hayea never been
weighty factor in American foreign
trade. An average for the last five
years shows but three-quarters OF per
cent of total production having been
shipped to other countries. This, in
1929, amounted to approximately Al
900 900 bushels with slightly more than
half going to all Europe. Canada abb
sorbed almost 100000 bushels, with
the Lulk of the remainder equally
divided between West Indies and the
Pan American States.
Considerable speculation is heard here
concerning the status of the present
years crop. the official report of which
is scheduled to be issued early next
month by the Department of Agricul-
ture. While no official estimates can
be obtained at this time the concensus,
gained by private estimates from corn
growing sectors, indicates the years
production will be at least 300.0o0,000
bushels less than the departments
estimate of the crop as of July l.
At that time official estimates gave
the 1880 crop as 1902 100000 bushels,
an increase of approximately 100000, 900
bushels over last years output. Since
that time, however, the severe drought
has settled over practically all corn
growing territory. The extent of this
dry spell and the intense heat, it is
feared by the department, may prove
even worse than the private reports
which are coming in almost daily.
Estimates of corn acreage and produc-
ton for other parts of the world are
available for only few countries. In
Europe, however, generally smaller
figures are foreshadowed by a cut of
1875 per cent In acreage for 1880 in the
important Rumanian figure. France
also records an acreage reduction, as
do three Jther European countries re-
ported earlier The total for five Eu-
ropean countries stands ia per cent
under the 1929 total for the same
countries.
Bulgaria is the only European country
to report on the 1880 crop and shows
! an estimated reduction of IA per cent
| below last years figures. Morocco also
reports some reduction. These two are
| the only foreign countries to report to
date.

CREDIT MEN BELIEVE
OUTLOOK is BETTER
National Association Declares Bust
ness Skies Are Clearing-Brisk
Buying Seen.

Evidencing more optimistic tone
than in any month since last october,
the August Bulletin of the National
Association of Credit Men says that
''the business skies are clearing"
I'VE have managed to get through
the storm with no conspicuous failures
and no serious damage to our ma
chinery of production and distribu-
ton" the bulletin continues.
Inventories are low in all lines of
business. Buying for replenishment of
stocks must begin soon, and when 1t
does we will all "ome back together.
Not with a rush, but with a steady.
persistent pull, which is the only kind
of pull which leads to lasting success"
DR.. Stephen I. Miller, executive man.
ager of the association, points out that
brokers loans are now largely under
the control of the banks, and that
loans for the account of Others" have
practically disappeared from the re-
ports.
The bulletin quotes results of a sur
vey covering ma, ufacturing and whole
sale business In New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Aaryland. Fifty-two
per cent of the firms reported larger
collections in June than in the pre-
ceding month.
Sales, however, in most lines of BUSH
ness were smaller than in the same
month of last year. Twenty-six per
cent of the firms reported larger
volume Of sales than in June, 1929, and
"a per cent s:naller volume.
Commenting on the survey, the
bulletin says: Although these four
States are nearest to the center of the
stock market disturbance, the reports
received carry pronounced conviction
that the corner has been turned. In
all of the four inventories are low and
brisk buying in the late Summer and
early Autumn appears to be assured"

NEW YORK, August aggregate
earnings of 339 corporations so far re-
ported for the first six months OF this
year declined 1875 psr cent from the
same period year ago. according TO
a compilation by Moody's Investors Serv-
ice. A group of 235 industrial COM
panisS suffered a decline of 23.1 per
cent, 70 railroads lost 34.3 per cent OF
last years earnings while 81 utilities
scored gain of 81 per cent.
Among the industrials the greatest
relative gains were noted in motion
pictures, 644 per cent: rayon, 1877 per
paper, 20.2 per cent; apparel, 20.6 per
cent; drugs, 10 per cent; agriculture
implements, 6.5 per cent However,
some of these increases, such as in the
case of paper, were merely reflections
of abnormally low earnings last year.
or else. being only for limited number
of companies, may not be quite repre-
sentative of the group.
Relatively the greatest decline took
place in coal, 1916 per cent: automobiles,
64.1 per cent: copper, 57.6 per cent;
shoes, 40 per cent; automobile acceSSo-
ries, Al per cent; cigars, 375 per cent;

leum, 14.1 per cent. These losses, in
turn, were large mainly in comparison
with the unusually favorable results of
last year.
Among the relatively favorable groups
which appear to be affected only moder-
ately and temporarily are electrical
equipment companies, off 1873 per cent;
retail trade, off Is per cent: telephones.
off 2.5 per cent; food products up 04
per cent. Also cigarette companies are
apparently doing well. although they are
not reporting quarterly. On the whole.
companies which supply the so-called
essential goods and services of wide
| and stable consumption are making
relatively the best showing
AS compared with the first quarter
the aggregate record for the half year
was only slightly worse. On the whole.
| considering the drastic declines in COM
modify prices, which, of course, are RS
| f1ected in earnings figures, the above
showing. in the opinion of Moody's, Is
not as bad as has generally been ex-
pected. 1t attests to the greatly
strengthened structure of our corporate
business, which apparently Is better
able than it used to be to Withstand
such shocks as the one we have recently
experienced.

WARNER FINDS U. S. FILMS

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, August 6.-H., M. War;
ner, president of Warner Brothers Pic
lures, returning from Europe today, de-
clined to make any statement as to his
company'S business or plans
Directors meet late tomorrow for ac-
ton on the quarterly dividend and I'M
conflrmable Wall Street rumors say that
the cash payment will be reduced or
passed, owing to the necessity of con-
serving funds. Earnings during the
Summer months are understood to have
fallen below expectations, causing the
company a little embarrassment, be-
cause of recent rapid expansion. 1t
is understood that the dividend may be
paid in stock, and bond issue be ar
ranged.
Further uncomfortable reports have it
that John j. Raskob, who has been
heavily interested in the company, may
be made chairman of the board, placing
the du Pont interests in close touch
with the management of the company
The du Points are said to be interested
in Warner Brothers as an outlet for

New York Central.

Few railroad stocks have a better
claim to an investment rating than
New York Central. Since 1870 divi-
dends have been paid to shareholders
at rates ranging from to 10 per cent.
In addition there have been numerous
offerings of rights to subscribe to ad-
ditional shares which could either be
exercised or sold in the open market
and the proceeds be regarded as addi-
tional income. The latest of these of
ferings was the one of last November,
and there Is reason to expect similar
opportunities in the future as the
company's plans for expansion require.
The stock now pays per cent and
recently sold on basis TO yield S per
cent or little less, which is attractive
in money market like the present.
During the great bull market of 1929
the shares sold above 256. They are
now down almost 100 points from that
price. The decline represents in part
defiation of the general market and in
part the traffic slump which has af-
fected the New York Central, as it has
other railroads. Whether the present
price discounts the temporarily unfa-
vorable situation is the only question
the intending investor has to answer
Illustrative Of the magnitude of this
railway enterprise is the fact that
funded debt totals more than $640 ,0OO,-
600 and that capital stock outstanding
is nearly 100000 900. Needless to say
any bond for which the New York Cen
trail is responsible is an investment OF
the highest grade. There are technical
differences between them, but nothing
that affects the safety of principal OF
interest.
In the Interstate Commerce Com
missions latest consolidation plan the
New York Central is placed at the head
of System No. 3. Recently consolida-
ton of the Michigan Central and the
