AVELLINO Italy, July Is. - One
thousand persons so far have failed TO
answer the frequent roll calls held at
Villanova since Wednesdays earth
quakes, but this does not necessarily
mean that they all are dead.
Prefect Vicidomini of Avellino Prov
ince attributed many of the absences
to the fact that terror-stricken VII
layers are wandering in the fields or
have gone to neighboring villages, and
does not believe that the death toll
will go much above the 500 set in off,
cial figures yesterday.
Avellino'S second day following the
quake began with additional burials in
scattered sections of the countryside,
little groups following silently and sadly
the bodies of those who were taken
from them by an outburst of Nature.

The merger plan Of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad became a
step closer to consummatlon
yesterday when the New YORK
Central railroad agreed to trans
fer its holdings in the Reading
company to the Baltimore and
Ohio. This gives the Baltimore
and Ohio an entrance into New
York over its own rails and thus
places the road on an equal basis
with the Van Sweringen system.
AS far as could be aScertained,
no definite time has been set for
the transfer. In return for Cen
trails Reading holdings. Baltimore
and Ohio agrees to give Central
certain trackage rights, under
stood to be over the recently &C.
quired Buffalo, Rochester, and
Pittsburgh railway.
The New York Central owns
$13,145 900 par value of the Read
ing Company stock. In 1929. the
stock reached high Of STAT a
share. In addition to this, New
York Central owns $6,840,O0O par
value of first preferred and $15,'
OILS, 900 of second preferred OF the
Reading.
Baltimore and Ohio has con-
stantly been adding to its holdings
of Reading Company stock. The
shares held by New York Central
would give the Baltimore and
Ohio 66 per cent control in the
Reading road. The deal will be
subject to the approval OF the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, but as the road has been allo-
Gated to the Baltimore and Ohio
by the commission. no difficulties
are anticipated from this direc-
tion. q Daniel Willard, president Of
the Baltimore and Ohio, has de-
clined to state when the petition
will be filed.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. al.
Hampton Baumgartner, formerly
associated with Hambleton and
Company, bankers, became vice
president of Brinkmann, Lewis
and Company, investment bank
ers, yesterday.
Mr.. Baumgartner is well known
in Baltimore'S financial and bust
ness district, having for a num-
ber of years been connected with
the late S. Davies Warfield, as
his assistant, when Mr. Warfield
headed the National Association
of Owners of Railroad Securities.
The association was instrumental
in obtaining a just basis of com
pensation from the Government
for the rental of railroad prop
erty during the war and in
making the initial step in Con
gress for what later became the
present transportation act. Walter
s. Brinkmann, who heads the
firm. also was associated with
Mr.. Warfield as president Of the
Continental Company.
For several years, Mr.. Baum
gartner was associated with the
office of George M. Shriver,
senior vice president of the Bal,
timore and Ohio Railroad. having

partment.'

any of the domestic petroleum
companies. Earnings for the first
half of this year were disappoint-
ing. Atlantic Refining will very
likely end up in a merger some
day, and the one with Conti-

dale Is said to have q new
chemical refining process Of
which much is expected.
Here and There
I hear they are going to give
Foreign Power and Cosden Oil a
whirl, but I'm from Missouri on
the former any way. Cosden will
move with the petroleum list,
but on the curb Humble Oil
seems a better bet. Some expect
wheat to go to IS cents a bushel
and become established there.
They hope it will get there soon
so as to pass out as a market
factor.
The public is said to have been
steady seller of stocks for the
past week. Baldwin's strength
has revived talk of its valuable
Philadelphia properties. Even if
these should be sold, however,
there are $12,O0O,OOO short term
notes which came out early this
year. American Telephone should
have done better on the expira-
tion of its rights.
Smart people would like to get
lot of International Nickel at
20. They are bullisa on its long
term prospects. I hear of a hun
dred thousand share buying order
waiting for Trans America to go
to 20. The stock has been acting
badly since it came to the zig
board from the curb.

INCREASE SEEN
BY BY|NST|TUTE

Leading light railway equip
ment, shoe and leather, chain
restaurant, confectionery and pub
fishing corporations have actually
made more money during the
first half Of 1880 than during
the corresponding period Of 1929,
says the Alexander Hamilton In
stitute in Business Conditions
Weekly. Public utilities and bev-
erages are ahead Of their rec
ords for the second quarter.
Comparison of net incomes
with 1928 is still more favorable.
All of these groups, except shoe
and leather, are ahead of their
1928 records. OF % industrial
groups, comprising 103 leading
corporations, Is are showing
greater incomes and IL less In
come.
In general, corporations pro-
ducing consumption goods have
suffered less than those produc-
ing capital goods. Herein the
Institute sees only the evidence
of the normal workings Of a de-
cline in business.
With a memorandum to the
effect that fluctuations in net IN
come are extraordinarily sensitive
to fluctuations in gross business,
the Institute shows the relation
of the years 1928, 1929 and 1880
by placing 1880 net incomes
about 20 per cent below 1929
and about 10 per cent below
1925.

Gold exports Of approximately
40 million dollars in the past two
weeks will not result in change
in the easy money conditions
from which so much is hoped as
q stimulus to business recovery, In
the opinion of G. M. P. Murphy
g. Co., dicussing gold exports and
foreign balances in the current
issue Of the Fortnightly Review.
Contrasting the present situation
with that in 1928, when gold eX-
ports contributed to tightening OF
money rates, it is pointed out that
in 1928, business as a whole was
good: the Reserve Banks were at
tempting to check the rapid ex-
pansion of security credit and did
not offset gold exports by pur-
chases of bills or Government Sc
curitieS.
The Review says:
Business now Is dull and
the stock market Is behaving
in an orderly way. These two
differences, in addition to the
fact that monetary gold stocks
in the United States are now
23O million dollars greater than
in April, 1928, and total Reserve
Bank credit is $50 million dol.
lars less, call for and permit
expansion Of reserve credit.
The operations and announce
ments Of the Reserve Board so
far this year indicate their
willingness to give business the
StimuIant Of easy money.
SThe impOsSibiIity Of esti-
mating the magnitude Of gold
exports from merchandise and
foreign loans figures is illus
trated by the results of the
first half of this year. The
excess of merchandise exports
over imports in the first six
months of 1880 was 344 million

InstaIIment Credit Meets Test
of Business Slump, Banks
Monthly Survey Reveals

One Of the most favorable fac
tors in the present business stu
alton is the manner in which in
Stalment credit has been meet
ing the test of the business re-
action, according to the current
issue Of the monthly survey of
economic and business conditions
by the National City Bank.
The percentage of retail notes
for motor cars held by four fl
nance companies, the survey
shows, and overdue 80 to so days
in June was only OBJ per cent
OF the total loans, and that the
amount outstanding was only
slightly less than last year.
although this form Of financ-
ing has been in use for many
years in connection with the
sale of certain household arti-
cIes such as sewing machines
and pianos" the review says,
"and has q satisfactory record
wherever the terms have been
safeguarded properly, its great
expansion during recent years
has OccasiOned many miSgiv-
ings, and predictions were made
freely that the system would
break down in periods Of hard
times and unemployment, thus
burdening industry with heavy
volume Of repOsseSSiOns and ac-
centuating the severity of the
depression. Even among those
Of less decided opinion there
was a tendency to reserve final
Judgment pending a trial under
adverse conditions.
while it is admittedly still
too soon to say precisely what
the final results Of the current
experience will show, as that
may depend good deal upon
the duration Of the business de.
preston, the conclusion at least
seems warranted that the com.
plicatiOnS so often predicted
from this source have been
greatly exaggerated. With the
severe phase Of the depression
already nearly nine months old
it would seem as though any
serious consequences that were
due would have made their ap-
pearance before now. Yet, to
date, the record of the leading
finance companies has been re-
markably favorable and one
that speaks well for the security
of this type of paper"
