SOUTHERN PACIFIC ASKS
AUTHORITY TO EXPAND

In addition to this by contract COM

the Southern Pacific proposes to acquire
further holdings of Cotton Belt stock
to the amount of $3.50 shares of pre-

BUSINESS AT LOW
SUMMER LEVELS
Vacations and Shut Downs in Fac
tories Among Factors
Retarding Trade.
special pispatch 70 The star.


NEW YORK, July 26.-Business in
the United States is running true to
form in Midsummer of a depression
level, accumulated by shut-downs, vaca-
tions and a general marking time till
the turn of the tide becomes evident,
says the Business Week in its report
covering the week ending July 26. The
Business Index, declining to 934 per
cent this week, as against 1914 last week
and 1922 per cent in the corresponding
week last year, viii probably continue
to decline until August.
Building continues well sustained,
somewhat beyond the point of seasonal
decline, and the fair volume of con-
tracts placed in the first half will exert
their force upon general business from
now on. General trade has Slackened
considerably as the cumulative influence
of six months of lowered purchasing
power and depleted stocks begins to be
felt, but business sentiment has per-
ceptibly freshened as the index has
dropped.
Commodity prices are firmer. Although
the Federal Reserve has relaxed its sup
port somewhat, it is encouraging that
the rate of expansion of member bank
credit continues high and rising. The
stock market, rejecting improved bust
ness sentiment, is beginning to gather
its scattered and shorn flock of lambs
and to discount greener pastures ahead
probably a bit too soon, considering
how corporation profits have wilted this
Summer.

Trading Featured by Activity

NEW YORK, July 26.-The feature
of bond trading today was the activity
OF the defaulted issues of the Mexican
government and the National Railways

that new agreement had been reached
concerning the debts.
The advances in these issues were not
wide, as the market discounted the pos
sibility of an agreement when the con-
ferences were first begun some weeks
ago between the bondholders' commit
tee and the Mexican finance minister,
but there was heavy turnover in the
bonds
There was nothing unexpected in the
details of the settlement. The plan has
been drawn up with due regard to Mex
ico's capacity to pay. The total debt
of about $500, 100000 will be retired by
annual payments graduated from S12.-
100000 to $15.000,000 Much of the
back interest has been dropped from
the total
The market generally was strong,
with money easy and volume of bust
ness small. There we're no new issues
announced.
In the prime group such bonds as
Canadian National SIS, Columbia Gas
5S, Utilities Power q Light SIS and
American & Foreign Power SIS were all

FRUIT COOPERATIVE
AGENCY IS PLANNED
South Has New Plan to Market
Crops on Economical
Basis.
BY w. J. DAVIS.
Associated Press STAFF Writer.


ATLANTA, July ga giant new CO.
operative is in the making in Dixie.
The proposed organization, which
would join fruit and vegetable producers
of the South, got its inception at a
meeting here of commissioners OF sagri-
culture from seven States.
The plan will be taken to the Federal
Farm Board in Washington.
The cooperative would revolutionize
methods of marketing fruits and vege-
tables in the South, which in the last
decade has added a rapidly growing
output of truck crops to its large fruit
output.
Action of the commissioners was the
first move ever made to form an organ
ization serving the entire South for dis
tribution of farm products other than
cotton and tobacco, to eliminate COM
petition between States and commune
ties.
Commissioner William A. Graham of
North Carolina, proposed the co-opera-
tive. Harry d. Wilson Of Louisiana, pres
ident of the Southern Association Of
Commissioners of Agriculture, was an
enthusiastic second.
The other commissioners favored the
plan unanimously.
Details of the organization will be
worked out by Graham and Wilson,
who, with other Southern commission
ers and State Market Bureau chiefs, will
submit the plan to the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics and the Federal
Farm Board in Washington.
Out of the Washington meeting, Ora
ham and Wilson believe, will come a
strong union that will enable each State
to know at all times what the other Is
placing on the market and govern ship
ments to avoid glutted marts and low
prices.

RATES ARE EXPECTED

NEW YORK, July rs Especially -
Warner Bros. Pictures Corporation di-
rectors meet next week and some quar-
tiers in the Street expect a revision
in the quarterly rate. The United
States Steel Corporation will pay no
extra at Tuesdays board gathering, but
1t may before the year end. Earning
improvements in Briggs Manufacturing
and Murray Body suggest early divi-
dend assumptions If the present profit
trends are continued
The recent report of American Chicle
seems to confirm the Streets talk of
a possible 81 extra soon. The way
McKeesport Tin Plate piled up profits
in the first half-year is the basis for
the present 81 extra rumor about that
stock. International Salt meets next
week and there is some talk about put
ting the new stock on 75-ceut quar-
terIy basis. If this Is done the So rate
would be equivalent to $l2 OH the old
stock, allowing for the three -for-one

Business Notes



NEW YORK, July 26.--While there
appears little reason to doubt that
chain stores, in common with other or
CARNATIONS. are feeling the effects of
the present period Of quieter business,
the Bank of America says In its review
there are certain factors which seem TO
indicate recent declines In sales may be
of less significance than would be sup
posed from the first glance. The re-
view points out that aggregate sales of
the majority of chain systems main
tanned a margin of increase in the first
halt over last year, but in a number of
instances results for June narrowed
this margin or wiped it out The re-
view says gross sales do not furnish n
reliable indication of profits for numer-
Gus reasons. chief among which Is the
fact that the number of units of a
same Is true of the number Of depart
ments or lines of goods handled.
The Pacific Western OIL Co. has
brought in its Well No. 1915, in the ELL
wood field near Santa Barbara, from a
depth of 3,474 feet, flowing at the rate
of 1000 barrels OF oil and 5000, 900
cubic feet of gas daily.
