Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 25.-Curtailed
buying, which has marked the current
business recession. soon should disap-
pear and be replaced by ia normal pro-
gram of hand-to-mouth buying such
as has prevailed for approximately the
last 10 years, according to Gage P.
Wright, New York business and in
vestment counselor, writing in the lat
est issue of the Business Economic Di-
gest.
I'm attempting to draw any general
conclusions regarding the rapidfty with
which an upward movement in bust
ness may proceed once it Is definitely
established. 1t becomes necessary that
one consider carefully the probability
Of continuance of hand-to-mouth
buying" says Mr. Wright, who con-
tinues: This form of buying has con-
tinued for about decade and its
prevalence is considered one of the
greatest economic changes of recent
years. There appears to be ample evil
dence that the policy of hand-to-mouth
buying has come to stay. There are
three influences which conceivably
might induce the accumulation of large
stocks of goods. These are Cd the
fear that delivery of goods will be
delayed in transit, (2) the expectation
of sharply advancing prices,a and (3l
the fear that manufacturers will be
! unable to make prompt deliveries be-
cause OF insufficient productive capac-
ity. Since these influences are absent,
the merchant cannot be expected to
buy in large quantities and borrow
| money in order to pay for surplus
stocks which may become unstable at a
profit. Thus, 1t appears that any inn
portant amount of forward buying
| must be considered a remote probable
ity. The principal effects of con-
tinuance Of the hand-to-i1outh method
OF buying are to release a considerable
amount of credit for other uses (com-
| mercial borrowing is reduced) and to
promote: relatively quicker but less
spectacular reversal in the trend
"a normal program of hand-to-
mouth buying. however, should not be
confused with the general tendency
toward curtailed buying, which has
prevailed during the current business
recession. 1t is generally conceded that
during recent months, dealers in ner-
chandise have cut their buying to such
levels as to reduce stocks below the
minimum required to carry on a normal
volume OF business. without doubt.
TINS tendency has contributed substari-
tally to price concessions in connodiL
tles. AS the necessity of replenishing
abnormally depleted stocks becomes
more general in all branches of distri-
BUTTON 1t may logically be expected that
curtatlment of buying will gradually be
succeeded by the usual program of
hand .to-mouth buying, which might
now be termed the normal method of
merchandising. When this transition
occurs, there will be a healthy inven-
tory condition, resulting in a sound
basis for business improvements

Illinois Central.
Illinois Central is one of the few
American railroads that have never gone
through reorganization, 1t was incor-
porated in 1851 and for rs years has
paid dividends on its common stock
without interruption. except In 1858 and
1859. Save these two years the share-
holders have never gone without some
return on their investment, although
the rate has varied from year to wear.
The result of this remarkable record
Is that the securities of the Illinois
Central are held in high investment re-
gard and the speculative interest there
in is negligible.
The bonds all sell on low-yield basis
and are held by financial institutions
and the most conservative of investors
The average interest rate on the funded
debt is very low, some of the bonds car
rying Ga and per cent coupons. The
bulk OF them have 90 years yet to run
with no nearby maturities, all of which
contributes to financial stability.

non-cumulative, the dividend on which
is covered by q very wide margin. This
issue sells in the market. however. on
It's conversion privilege, share for share,
into the common. The present dividend
rate on the Junior shares is z per cent
and that rate has been paid since 1917
The only question of immediate in
terest is whether or not the traffic
slump Of 1880 will irnperil this dividend
At the rate Of the first six months the
81 disbursement would not be fully coy
cred, but improvement may appear be-
lore the years end and in any case the
directors could continue payments out
of surplus If they were so inclined.
In 1926 there was earned for the
common $l2.06 share; in 1927 it was
$8.14 share; in 1928 it was $894 and
in 1929 earnings were $918 per share
The Illinois Central was helped by
the diversion of traffic to the Panama
Canal. but was hurt by the reduction
in buying power of Latin America. It
Is the most important north and south
line In the country.

HOT WEATHER AFFECTS
EGG SHIPMENTS HERE

Continued hot and dry weather is
playing havoc in the egg market many
of the eggs received from Maryland and
Virginia being so overheated that many
OF them are disposed of for cooking
purposes only or relegated to the
garbage can.
Gambling losses have been unusually
heavy the past two weeks, 1t Is stated,
losses, in some instances, going as high
as four dozen to case of 80 dozen.
Prices this Summer have been mucn
lower than usual and, 1t Is stated by
dealers, 1t Is probable that prices the
coming Winter season will not be as
high as during recent Winter seasons.
Laying hens in Maryland and Vir-
ginia have been affected by the heat
the past few days, according to reports
from memories. In one instance 1t was
reported that as many as 20 hens died
in a single hennery one night early this
week.

The total acreage of cotton land fer
tilted in 1880 was reported by the De-
partment of Agriculture to have been
greater than In 1929.
A total of 1920 900 acres was fertil-
lied this year, as compared with 1882
600 year ago.
Farmers used about 2,380,000 tons of
commercial fertilizer on cotton planted
in 1880, compared with 2,427, 900 tons
used In 1929" the report said. while
about per cent less acreage of cotton
was planted this Spring than in 1922
commercial fertilizer was used on
slightly larger percentage of the acre
age"
The number Of pounds per acre In
1880 was 26l, while 267 pounds were
used per acre year ago.
Cost of the fertilizer this year was
SIS, 000, 900. as compared to $76,500,000

DEMANDS PROBE
OF INCOME BUREAU
Garner Asks Departments
Handling of Tax Refunds
Be Investigated.

Inspired by the recent refund OF
e33,000,000 to the United States Steel
Corporation, Representative Garner OF
Texas, the Democratic floor leader, has
demanded that the House investigate
the Internal Revenue Bureau and its
handling of income and corporation tax
refunds.
After the refund had been alter
nately defended and assailed on the
floor yesterday, the Texan introduced
. resolution demanding the invcstiga-
ton and said later he would ask the
rules committee to grant an immediate
hearing on the measure In order to
get House consideration as quickly as
possible.
Basis Of Controversy.
The controversy that has centered
around the refund since Il was made
public last Saturday was precipitated by
Representative Bachrach of New Jersey.
. Republican member of the Joint COM
mittee on internal revenue legislation,
which is required by law to pass on all
refunds of more than $4,000 proposed
by the Internal Revenue Bureau.
The New Jersey member in q speech
IN the House contradicted accusations
made by Garner last week that the
Joint committee had not given proper
consideration to the steel corporation
refund, contending that the refund had
been carefully considered by both the
Revenue Bureau and the Joint COM
mittee's staff of experts.
Charge Is Reiterated.
Garner reiterated his charge that
the joint committee, preponderantly Re-
publican In membership, did not in
tend to 60 into these refunds"
He also criticized Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon.
