NEW YORK, July 2l.-The following
is today's summary of important cor
porstion news, prepared by Standard
Statistics Co., Inc, New York, for the
Associated Press:
Weekly News Review.
A continued advance In security prices
of rather broad character was witnessed
during the past week, with our index OF
80 stocks closing on Saturday at 171.3,
showing a gain of So points over the
levels attained at the close on July IL.
Twenty utility stocks registered an in
crease Of SIS points, while so industrials
were up 81 and 20 rails 19 points. De-
spite the recovery from the low levels
reached in June there is nothing to In
dictate by way of improvement in cur
rent business conditions that anything
but technical factors of the market were
responsible for the advance.
Brokers' Loans Gain.
Following an uninterrupted decline
since June 4, brokers loans increased
s4O. 600 600 this week, indicating some
stimulation of marginal trading, where
as in prior weeks 1t appeared that Sc
curities were passing more into the
hands OF strong interests. This gain,
however; Is relatively small and brings
the aggregate to S3,243. 900 900, which Is
still less than any totals witnessed since
the Summer of 1927. Ease in money

Rail Stocks
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

(This is the sixteenth of series
OF brief analyses by MIR. Hughes on
railroad securities The intent is not
to recommend the purchase or sale
of any particular stock. but to give
the investor such information as may
enable him intelligently TO chart his
own course.
Delaware, Lacka wanna b Western.
With no funded debt Of its own. al
though there are over $4,000 900 In
bonds of leased railroads which are
guaranteed as to principal and interest,
the stock Of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western has long commanded an In
vestment rating. There is only one
class which is of $50 par and outstand-
ing to the amount of $64, 44l 400. On
this stock dividends have been paid at
one rate or another without interruption
since 1880.
The record goes back to 1854, since
which time there have only been three
periods when the shareholders went
without some return on their invest
ment. These three periods were 1887,
1877 and 1877 to 1879. In recent years
the rate has been IL per cent or S6 q
share regular with 81 extra annually.
However the margin over and above
dividend requirements has not been
large. Earnings per share have been
as follows: 1928. $7.63; 1924, 1857; 1925,
$8.54; 1926. $10.61; 1927, 1891; 1928,
$777, and 1929, $3.50.
In the first half of 1880 there has been
a sharp falling of in both gross and net
with the present outlook that not much
more than IS per share. if as much, will
be realized. The question then for in
tending investors in the stock is how
far the market price has discounted the
unfavorable situation. Over
a period of years commitments made at
the prevailing level may work out profit
ably, but there is no assurance that a
paper loss would not be experienced in
the meantime.
The Lackawanna is one Of the most
important anthracite carriers, and its
fortunes are more or less bound with
the hard coal trade. The MANAGEMENT
is experienced and efficient. In the In
terState Commerce Commission plan the
road is linked up with the Van Swe-
ringen group but the New York Central
has a substantial interest in the stock.

Business Notes

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 21.-With a sub
stantial increase in the number of buy
ers expected in the New York market
this week, more active purchasing for
Fall is anticipated. SO far a large
amount of buyers' attention has been
given to covering August sales needs.
This type OF buying has not been COM
pleted, but along with 1t wholesalers
look for expansion in early commit
ments for selling after Labor day.
Business activity fell TO the lowest
point OF the year in June, according
to the statisticians in industry of the
National Industrial Conference Board,
which adds, however, that inventories
and stocks of finished goods in many
lines are low in comparison with de-
mand." Price reductions, the survey
says, have increased consumer pur-
chasing power and the volume OF goods
moving into retail channels compares
faVorably with that of earlier years.
In the view of the National Assoc
citation of Finance Companies, no SUBJ
stantlal increase in the number Of
automobiles bought on time" can be
anticipated this year The association
points out that the ratio of new cars
sold on the installment plan and
handled by finance companies during
the FIRST four months OF 1880 was 8
per cent greater than the corresponding
period OF 1929. The increase is large
ly attributed TO the fact that dealers
have been unable to handle their own

BUSINESS UPTURN
SEEN BY BROKERS
Wall Street Attitude Toward
Industry Changes to
Optimism.
Special Dispatch to Tn. star.


NEW YORK, July 2l.-Predictions Of
more than an ordinary seasonal upturn
in business In Autumn and advice to
buy standard American securities at
these levels for the long pull, because OF
the defiation Of security values, money
and commodities, which would make
such purchases probably profitable, are
features of week end brokerage COM
ment.
Within a forInight-indeed, almost
within a week-Wall Street has almost
completely changed from pessirnism to
optimism. To be sure, letters are
sprinkled With cautious" phrases,
which have divided over the debatable
question of whether the market upturn
is preceding business recovery or
whether quickened trade pace, not yet
discernible to the many, is causing the
market upswing
The public is in the market and il is
not in the market, depending on the
point of view taken The gain in odd
lot buying suggests that the public has
been buying securities. The tremendous
increase in the number of shareholders
as shown by more than 100 corpora
tions, attests public buying
On the other hand, the public, mean
ing the little fellow" as we'll as the
buyer of 100-share lots, is not in the
market In the sense of year ago. The
public is buying stocks for cash and
making no rush to the savings banks to
get cash for thinly margined accounts.
This investing public" will mean more
to the market over a long period than
the thinly margined accounts Of year
ago.

FEEDING OF WHEAT
TO HOGS MAY STOP
Improvement in Market Like
Iy to Offset Use of Grain
on Farms.
BY ths Associated Press.

~NSESSA1N|A
Right when he was about to desert
it, the wheat farmers pet inhibition
feeding wheat to live stock-hss been
saved by veritable deluge of pros
poets for market improvement.
The last weekly span of trade saw
prices improve 2 to cents a bushel,
serious deterioration In the Canadian
crop, heavy domestic mill demand, and
the seasons first indication that the
prodigal European inquiry for North
American wheat may have returned.
Exports we're variously estimated at
from 5000, 900 to 12,00o,000 bushels
a figure considered good even in normal
times. Shipments had dwindled to as
low as 100000 bushels a week with
stubbornness that baffied even the most
optimistic.
In addition, the Farm Board an
nounced that the Farmers National
Grain Corporation had acquired ac-
counts with every importing European
country.
Practice May Stop.
Market observers believe that If the
next few days bolster current pros
poets, the wholesale feeding of wheat to
live stock will stop as quickly as 1t
started Even when the price on wheat
is so low that it is worth twice as much
fed to live stock, the farmer would
rather pitch dollars in the hog trough
than pour out the precious grain he
always has been so careful to protect.
It was not until No. 2 corn at Kan
sas City started selling for to cents
bushel more than No. ! hard Winter
wheat that farmEs deserted their in
hibition and started feeding wheat on
scale that indicated 200, 200, 900
bushels or more would find the way to
the manger.
The fine quality of the new wheat Is
one of the chief arguments against
dumping 1t into the feed boxes. Sam
piles taken from 1000 cars at Kansas
City showed protein content of 1874
per cent, as compared with 1l& per
cent last year.
1t is against tradition for farmer
to feed good wheat to his stock, and
since almost all the 1929 crop has left
the farms, there is very little wheat
TO feed except that from the new har-
vest. Manufacturers of mixed feeds
are in position to get old wheat and
while the price is low may be expected
to use all the wheat that feed stand
ards will allow. However, other feed
grains have been cheap. Rye is pre-
ferred to wheat in hog-feed mixtures,
and rye has been cheaper than wheat.
