sion output was reduced 1880 barrels
daily to average 1858, $50 barrels This
average is 1864 barrels less than in

branch of the oil industry continues
unsettled. Crude prices have been cut

below the level of recent years. Large
refinery stocks-gasoline inventories to-
tai 37.215. 900 barrels-extraordina de-

failure to curtail crude output to level

cline in equities.
was unchanged at to ga per cent
for 90-day time loans. The approval
of close to $500 900. 0c0 of new munich
pal flotationS by the electors was a
bulliSh point for that section of the
market. And the natural tendency of
the investment market, after weeks of
heavy selling, is upward. as many well
secured issues have been forced down
TO levels out of line with the invest
ment demand.
These factors. however. were inn
potent against offerings of bonds at
the market in order to support stock
accounts.
The high-grade group suffered less
than the others, though there were
small declines in Nickel Plate AIS,
Chesapeake Corporation SIS, Canadian
Pacific As, Standard Oil of New York

were at new lows for the year
In the group of second-grade public
utility and industrial descriptions the

w. B. & A. PLANNING
TO MAINTAIN FORCE
Passenger Agent Cannon Declares
Revision of Schedule Is
"Speed-up" Move.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE. November 6.-OficiaIs
OF the Washington. Baltimore e. An
napolis Railway today stated no imme-
date employment cut will follow the
revision of the company's schedules.
An effort, it was said. is being made
by the railway company to retain the
present force, or, If 1t Is found neces-
sary to reduce the number of employees,
minimize the number of men dis
charged.
According to z. A. Cannon, general
passenger agent, no cut is expected be-
fore the first of the month, pending the
working out of system which will be
alleviated as much as possible.
Cannon termed the schedule revision.
which eliminated several round trips on
all Of the companys lines, "a speed-up
plan," which, he said, was arranged to
let one train do the work of two.
The passenger agent admitted the
business depression, with the conse-
quent drop in freight shipments, was
responsible for the revision
Explaining the change on the Wash
ington line, Cannon said most of the
half-hour trains had been eliminated.
The same system of dispatching is
used on the Annapolis to- Baltimore
North Shore line, while the South Shore
line and the North Shore line to An
napolis were similarly revised.

u. s. FOREIGN TRADE
|. DOWN e PER CENT
Exports for Nine Months
Show Smaller Decline
Than imports.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Foreign trade OF the United States
has slumped approximately rs per cent
for the first nine months of 1880 g.
compared with the comparable period
of last year.
Exports for the period are of abou1
% per cent, while incoming shipments
are down about 20 per cent, as COM
pared with 1929.
Foreign shipments last year were
valued higher than for any year since
1920 and amounted TO about S5,24I.-
100000, gain of ~ per cent over the
previous i2-month period. Imports
during the same period amounted to-
$4,4OO, 100000, gain of IA per cent
over the previous year. The years
exports actually set a new high record
IN view of the low-prive levels obtain
ing throughout the greater part Of the
year.
Exports OF manufactured commodi-
ties. in which class seems to lie the
future worth Of our foreign trade, par
ticularly with respect TO Great Britain,
gained IL per cent. while shipments of
some specific manufactured articles
made record levels. including machinery,
electrical apparatus, automotive prod
ucts and gasoline.
OhicialS of the Department Of Com
merce are agreed that the present cal
endar year win show a huge decline.
particularly in contrast with 1929, a
peak year. The depression existent I'm
this country seems general throughout
the world, and In most spots more ac-
centuated than in the United States.
In addition the economic growth of
many of our foreign customers has
been further disarranged through poll
tical upheavalS. the results of which
are expected to weigh rather heavily
against up when final returns are In.

Price Anect Painting.

Trade advices indicate tobacco grow
ers in important Cuban districts are
finding 1t increasingly difficult to con-
tinue their paintings on account OF
the low prices for leaf. The difficulties,
have been aggravated by a poor crop
due to inopportune rains in the Sum-
mer Of 1880. 1t is said that many of
the growers planted too early, and
upon transplanting. the seedlings were
not sufficiently developed.
Many growers in Santa Clara still
had considerable tobacco on hand as
late as September without being able TO
make sales. The preparation for the
