Rail Stocks
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

(This is the first of a series OF
hrief analyses by Mr., Hughes on
railroad securities. The intent Is
not to recommend the purchase or
sale of any particular stock, out 10
give the investor such information
as may enable him intelligently 10
chart his own course0
Before beginning detailed analysis
OF specific railway stocks 1t Is well 10
take a survey of the general situation.
railway shares are unpopular just now
both for long-term investment and for
short-term holding. The reason for the
reluctance to make commitments over
A period of years is the doubt about the
effects of competition from other forms
of transportation, and the reason LOT
the neglect of the stocks Speculat1VeIy
is the slump in earnings which mas
continued throughout the first nall
of 1880.
OF these two objections the former,
provided 1t is we'll founded, Is the more
important. It Is true that for decade
past the railroads have lost passenger
traffic to the motor car, privately OPP
Grated or in the form of the bus, and
that there is no sign of any turn FOR
the better. Some roads have succeeded
in recapturing part Of this lost traffic
for the long haul, but the great ma
jority of them are still losing.
When it comes to freight, We find a
similar situation, but in much less de-
gree, although the truck has made Sc
rious inroads on railroad business.
Then, too, the era of railroad eXpan-
sion in the United States is definitely
closed. There is some new construction
in the Far West, but 1T is offset by
abandonment Of Improbable branch
lines, and there Is no growth in rail-
road mileage in any way corresponding
to the increase in output OF our great
industrial corporations.
The argument in favor Of industrial
common stocks as against bonds is that
holders of the former participate in a
steady growth which parallels that Of
the country generally, while the
bondholder has a fixed and limited
claim on earnings. If the railroads
are at a Standstill in the matter of the
service they have to sell, 1t is serious
point against railroad stocks. 1t is ad-
mitted that the traffic slump is tempo
rary, but, on the other hand, it is
argued that, pending recovery, there Is
no reason to buy railroad stocks.
Finally the carriers are subject to
the strictest of public regulation. They
are controlled by the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the matter of
rates, in the matter Of financing, as to
merger and in numerous other ways.
Moreover, there are signs of a change
in the political situation. The trans
portation act of 1920 was hailed by the
friends of the railroads as a great con-
structive step; but the present temper
of Congress is not as favorable as it
was. Witness the Couzens resolution
on consolidation that passed the Sem
ate. In brief, the foregoing are the
main contents in the indictment against
railroad stocks as investments or as
speculations.

material advance in prices.

STOCKS IN RALLY
AFTER DOWNTURN
Short Covering and Support
ing Orders Check Decline
of Last Few Days.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor,

NEW YORK, June 10.-The stock mar
ket appeared stunned today from the
severe blow received late yesterday.
Price trends fluctuated uncertainty. A
mild rally in the morning attracted re-
newed selling around midday, but the
list again firmed up in the early after
noon. Trading was in large volume,
with the ticker substantially behind the
market
The action of the market was in the
main confusing and unsatisfactory to
all interests, save perhaps shorts, VINO
were willing to cover at these levels
The market did not show suthclent re-
Operative power to encourage any drive
against the bear factions, and traders
who bought at the low levels in expecta-
ton of a sharp technical rally met with
ONLY limited success. Bears, on Ine
other hand, were not very successful In
depressing the list further.
Margin Calls Heavy.
Traders were inclined to fear that
considerable distress LIQUIDATION may
still be hanging over the market, al
though the fact that public participa-
ton has been almost negligible during
the past several weeks and profession
al operations have been rather feeble,
tended to minimize this danger. 1t was
said in brokerage circles, however That
margin calling was in substantial
volume.
publication of U. s. Steel's untitled
tonnage figures for May at midday
prompted considerable short covering.
A decline of about 245000 tons during
Nav was about in keeping with estl-
mates and the seasonal trend. The
figures were not interpreted bullishly.
but they failed to cause any further
unsettlement, and shorts, who had been
waiting for lower levels, decided TO
cover.
Corporate and business news how
ever, was unsatisfactory. Houdalle
Hershey cut its dividend rate from 81
annually to $120, and TubiZe Chatillon
and Durham Duplex omitted the pay
ments due at this time. American
Radiator and United States Radiator
reduced their price schedules and the
recent advance nom $50 to 4.60 cents
a pound made by several sugar re-
finers was Cancelled. The American
Bankers Association Journal, however,
Is a survey of business, stated that the
ground was being laid for substantial
recovery.
Price Trend Shifts.
Gains of 2 to points in fairly
wide assortment of shares were record
ed during the morning, lost around
midday. only to be replaced by other
gains of like extent in the early AFTER
noon. Several of the high-priced SHARES
popular among professional traoers
such as Case, Worthington ana va
nadium, shot UP several points.

We have had sketched for you to-day several
new trifles. Among them you will find two
fashions reminiscent Of other days. The first is
the shoulder cape which in this case is Of black
broadtail, and we feel sure that this delightfully."-
demure touch will be welcomed by many women
who seek the picturesque. The second is of
course the sailor hat, that style that is so in
ordinately becoming to the youthful and piquant
type. This sailor Is made Of heavy straw in a
weave of brown. tan and black with a blue band.
Other items include stockings Of striped silk
and wool, excellent for sports wear, and three
exceedingly good sho models. The shoe of brown
and tan calf has a strap and buckle trimming
that is purely ornamental, but the broad strap
on the white kid slipper performs a strictly
utilitarian purpose. The oxford is in brown pin
seal and tan kid.

wv THETHER it be evolution or revolution,
~ we do not know, but the fashions of
yesteryear seem to be descending on US
in increasing numbers Designers are finding a
mine of inspiration in phases Of various modes
Of the past. The Empire, Directoire. Victorian,
and even the ancient Grecian eras have been
studied, and various details of the costumes ex-
tant during those periods have been cleverly
utilized and blended with the ultra-modernity Of
the current mode with a touch of incongruity.
And so we see, off -the-shoulder decolletages,
ruched hemlines, dolman capes and wraps, Greek
draperies, princess gowns and other fashions
featured in the dress parade, and all of them
are charming and lend a refreshing variety to
the scene.
