BELOW 1929

Agricultural income for the cur
rent year. it is estimated by the
Standard Statistics Company of
New York, in a recent survey, will
fall, roughly, $2.400, 900, 900, or 10
per cent, under that of 1929. This
forecast is based largely on recent
official crop reports, giving effect
only to the percentage of the va
rious crops actually marketed and
to prices prevailing during the
marketing seasons, wherever OBJ
tainable.
Although the indicated contrac-
ton in farm income is large, it is
not nearly as severe as the decline
of almost $3,500,000, 900 expert
enced in the 1921 major depreS-
sion year. Neither does the per-
centage recession approach the de-
crease of from 80 per cent to IS
per cent in aggregate industrial
profits for this year.
Despite evidence that general
business has made ample allow
ance for the slump in agricultural
returns, it is apparent that the de-
cline will operate as an important
obstacle to near term recovery,
particularly in the retail trade and
agricultural machinery fields. Re
cent firmer tendency of prices in

Ritchie Denies Road
Shortage Charges

BALTIMORE. Oct. 31.-Charges
that the Republicans are using
unverified reports and claiming
them to be true facts were made
here last night by Gov. Albert c.
Ritchie.
The governor repeated his de-
NAL of the Republican charge that
Daniel n. Carroll, former deputy
State auditor, was ousted from
office because he found the State
roads funds short.
Governor Ritchie referred to
statements made by Judge Sam
uel K. Dennis, statements made
months before the commission in
vestigating the shortage rendered
their report.
Later Judge Dennis sentenced
seven men to prison for yheir
parts in the roads fund thefts and
declared then that the extent of
the affair had been reached.

CAS- COMP AMY
HITS MARK

Convinced that the business de-
preston of the past year was
based largely upon psychological
influences rather than upon &C
tual conditions the Washington
Gas Light Company under the
leadership Of President George A,
G. Wood proceeded with an en-
ergetic campaign of advertising
and selling with the result that
the concern not only broke all
its own existing records, but
lead the nation in volume of
sales and units installed.
october sales of the company
totaled ,$250,000, a gain of 400
per cent over the same period a
year ago and an increase of
100000 over the largest previous
monthly sales of the concern.
The sale of 1000 heating units
in October'S 81 days establishes
a record nationally for a similar
period. This record takes no &C.
count of the number of meters
installed and is concerned with
gross jobs only.
The optimistic energy of the
concern is also reflected in other
ways as the facilities Of the util-
tiles company were expanded
generally.

CHANGE EXPELS1
TWO WHITLEY F.
PARTNERS
Extremely Drastic Action
Taken by N. Y. Body in Bar
ring Floor Members of Firm

The New York Stock Exchange
has climaxed it's investigation
into the failure Of Prince &
Whitley, one Of the largest brok-
erage houses in Wall Street, with
the expulsion Of the firms two
floor traders. This is the most
drastic action taken by the stock
exchange against a member firm
in years.
Further revelations in connec-
ton with the firms failure are
expected when the States attor-
ney generals office completes its
investigation.
Made Unsecured Loan
G. Lisle Forman and Morrison
B. Orr were the partners expelled
by the exchange. Forman has
been a member Of the exchange
since November, 1926, and Orr
since August of last year.
The expulSionS were based on
charges growing out of the in
vestigation of the firms conduct
of an investment trust formed two
months before the stock market
crash of last fall.
The Stock Exchange charged
the firm borrowed securities and
placed them in accounts that
were not sufficiently margined,
and with buying an unusual
quantity of stock at the close
so as to boost the closing prices
of the securities in which the
firm was interested.
The firms answer to a Stock
Exchange QUESTIONABLE on June
30. it was charged, did not re-
fleet its true condition. The
other charge involved the $780,
900 loans made on an 'unSe-
cured" note by the investment
trust. the Prince and Whitley
Trading Corporation, to ]. M.
Hoyt and Company, controlled
or owned by one of the firms
partners. The Exchange an
nouncement read:
"The proceeds Of said note
were deposited to the account
Of the said subsidiary corpora
ton u. M. HOyt and Company
and thereby improved the fl
nanciaI condition of said firm
prince and Whitely)."
The only directors of the trust
were Prince and Whitley part
nerS.
Accused On Loans
The last charge was that the
brokerage house pledged loans on
securities owned by the invest
ment trust. The Exchange state
ment said in part:
"NO reasonable proportion OF
the securities was segregated
and set aside as the property Of
the Prince & Whitley Trading
Corporation and that more
than a reasonable proportion of
these securities had been
pledged as collateral for loans
of the firm of Prince g. White
ly."
The charge involving the bid
ding up of securities at the close
was believed to refer to the run-up
last spring in Brockway Motors,
Hahn Department Stores and sew
eral other issues in which the firm
and it's investment trust were in
terested. The run-up was staged
in the final 10 minutes of trading.
The next day these stocks all fell
back. This had the effect Of
boosting the book value of the in
vestment trusts stock.

the Cyrus S. Eaton attorneys that
the merger of Youngstown Sheet
& Tube Company with Bethlehem
Steel Corporation was illegally ne
gotiated, j. Eugene Bennett,

day to prove that the voting for

fense lawyers to attack the con.
tentions of the plaintiffs in the

instituted to block the merger of
Sheet & Tube and Bethlehem
took the floor after Frederick H
Wood of Chicago. had concluded
five days of his closing argument
on the general issues raised by
the forces opposing the consolida-
ton.
Benefits argument is centered
in an attack against the claim Of
Eaton'S attorneys that approx
mately 100000 shares of stock
were voted illegally at the stock
holders meeting last April 8, The
plaintiffs charge that the merger
could not have been ratified by
the required two-thirds majority
without these questionable votes.
Contending that the merger was
legal even if the contested shares
were disfranchised. Bennett ar.
gued that any disfranchised stock
must not be considered to have
been voted for or against the
merger and must be Subtracted
from the total number of shares
in determining the two-third rate.
