NEW YORK, July s.-After its world
debt settlement spree the security mar
ket is giving sober attention to the
state Of business as revealed by cor
poration reports. Earning statements
for the second quarter and first six
months are this Summer slower than
usual In making their appearance. The
railroads will not, of course, turn in
their June statements until about the
middle Of this month, but industrial
and public utility corporations are be-
ginning to publish.
First reports to come were those for
national and State banks, in response
to the usual midyear calls for condition.
1t happens that the previous calls were
made as OF March rs, so that the cur
rent reports cover virtually the second
three months Of the year. The prin-
cipal New York banks made a varied
but, on the whole, an Indifferent show
ing. Between the end Of March and
the end Of June deposits rose approx
mately $7O0,000,0 900, an amount which
is no more than seasonal.
Reserves From Surplus.
The practice of setting aside liberal
reserves from surplus or undivided
profits, initiated by the National City
Bank last September with q $40, OOO, 900
write-of, was generally followed in the
June 80 reports. 1t now appears that
New York banks have had to write of
an aggregate OF around $1,000, 900 in
the past nine month"; Chase National,
the worlds largest bank. reported a
drop Of $34, APT 900 in undivided profits
between March Is and June 80, the rec
ord for any Of the banks Part of this
decline was due to deduction of $7,4OO,-
900 dividend, the bank paying the en-
tire amount. since Chase Securities Cor
poration (the investment affiliate)
failed to contribute its usual one fourth
share Of the banks dividend.
In the past six months few of the
banks covered their dividends paid by
wide margin. Many fell slightly un-
der dividend requirements However,
few dividend changes have taken place,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 9-In an analysis
Of the outlook for major industries dur
ing the last half of 1881, the Standard
Statistics Co. lists the following as
being most favorably situated:
Beverages-Barring the occurrence of
Unexpectedly cool weather this Sum-
mer, sales and earnings in general
should compare favorably with those of
1890.
Chain stores-More favorable income
comparisons with 1880 should be wit
messed during the remainder of the
year, and in few instances last years
results will be exceeded.
Cigarettes-We expect a second half
sales record comparing well with that
Of 1880. Considering advantages secured
from the recently instituted wholesale
price increase, 1881 trade income should
rise about 10 per cent over the 1880
level.
Dairy productS-Producers profits
will be moderately reduced from the
record 1880 levels, because Of narrowed
margins and restricted demand in some
lines. Ice cream earnings are as yet
indeterminate. being dependent largely
upon the type Of Summer weather ex-
perienced.
fackage loooS-CoIlSuHlptlon Oh the
leading brands is we'll sustained and
should nearly equal those of last year.
Refrigeration-Unit sales this year
likely will be moderately larger than in
previous Nyear. with a corresponding
growth of profits.
Utilities electric and gas Evidence
at hand indicates that definite re-
sumption Of the upward trend Of rev.
enues will be established during the
coming half year. Earnings for the full
year should compare favorably with
the 1880 record.
Utilities telephone) Stability of
earnings is in prospect for the Summer
months, and present indications strongly
suggest an upturn lin revenues and
profits during the latter part Of the
year.

NEW LEFT-TURN PRAISED

Traffic Chief Tells Rotary Club
Cleveland Also May Change
From Old System.

The new left-hand turn, to 60 into
effect here September is, was praised
yesterday by the new director of pub
lie vehicles and traffic, William A. Van
Duzer, at the luncheon meeting Of the
Rotary Club at the Willard Hotel.
Only one other city, Cleveland, he
explained, now has the old rotary turn
as practiced in Washington at the pres
ent time, and Cleveland, he predicted,
would change over to the new turn
next year.
Mr.. Van Duzer praised certain fea-
lures Of the old rotary turn, but stated
that these were outweighed by the ad-
vantageS Of uniformity.

HARVARD AND YALE
/. IN ANNUAL BATTLE
Wood, Booth, Rival Leaders,
Playing in Last College
Gridiron Game.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
- AMBRIDGE, Mass, November
4 2l-The glamour and intense
rivalry of a half century OF
gridiron conflict were packed
today into the fiftieth game between
Harvard and Yale, friendly foes in the
aristocracy of American college ath-
letics ever since yards constituted q
first down and long hair was foot ball
fashion.
The final act in the melodrama fea-
turing Barry Wood and Albie Booth
playing their last game as captains OF
the Crimson and the Blue, attracted
record breaking interest, a capacity
crowd of upward of $4,000 and the
focus of Nationwide attention from a
foot ball fandom that has watched the
exploits of these two young backf1eld
stars.
Booth was slated to be in the starting
lineup Reports that the Eli leader
was not fully recovered from a tendon
injury were persistent in spite or de-
malls.
Harvard was q big favorite in the
betting, at 10 to 6, but this was based
mainly On the records and the fact
that the Crimson has come up to its
climax game with o clean slate. Yale
was big favorite last year, but lost by
two touchdowns.
Nevertheless Harvard's forces APP
peared better equipped, fundamentally,
with Woods strategy and passing, on
past performances, rated decisive fac
tor The Ellis were bolstered with ex-
ceptional reserve backfeld punch to
maintain Q fast pace.

~ HICAGO, November 21.-It
will be one great blocking
team against another when
Southern California and
Notre Dame come to grips on the
plains of Indiana today.
In Arnie Pinckert Southern Cali
fornia has one of the best blocking
backs in the game today. Some go
SO far as to say he is without peer,
and the nearest equal to Marty Brill
that can be found. Pinckert has
been q splendid blocker for two sea-
sons, but this Fall he has surpassed
all previous efforts. A capable aide
to Pinckert has been found in Tom
Mallory, and when those two are in
the backf1eld 1t is most difficult to
halt the Trojan offense.
Pinckert is expert in all sorts Of
blocking. Shoulder, hip, body and
reverse hip and body blocks, he can
execute them all with power and
precision. Pinckert's blocking against
Stanford was sensational. His
shoulder blocking was devastating
against the Cardinal linemen, and in
the open field his body and reverse
blocks removed many a would-be
: tackler from the paths Of Orville
Mohler and Gaius Shaver.
Mallory ie not Pinckert's equal in
blocking, but he is far above the
ordinary. and the combination Of
