placing an import duty on cotton

1880 HARD YEAR
FOR RA|LWAYS

An editorial in the current
issue of Railway Age. com
menting that rail earnings in
1880 were the lowest since 1919,
says, in part:
Such statistics Of the Glass
1 railways for the entire year
1880 as recently have become
available tell a remarkable
story of what occurred in the
railroad industry last year.
Total earnings were $5,342,957s
AT, or the smallest since 1919.
They were $1,O17, 100000 less
than in 1929; $1,1O6, 600, 600 less
than in the maximum year 1926.
and even $3.50, O0O, Geo, less than
in the depressed year 1921.
Freight business was the small
est since 1922, and passenger
business the smallest since 1906.
Cooperating expenses, which
were S3,S7S,7S2,OOO, were the
smallest since 1917, being $685.
OOO.OOO less than in 1929.
met operating income was
1885, 100000, or $500 Qua, 600
less than in 1929. and the small
est since 1922. The percentage
Of return earned on investment
was 1856. as compared with
4.S5 in 1929 and $50 In 1922,
and was the smallest since 1921,
when it was 2.S7.
THE figures show that the
year was one of the hardest
for the railways through which
they have ever passed. They
were saved from disaster by the
extremely conservative policy Of
financing followed for many
years, and by the gigantic re.
auctions made in operating ex-
PenSes, which were rendered
possible only by previous liberal
capital and maintenance expen-
ditureS."

CURB TRADERS
TRIM SALES

NEW YORK, March 2 1.N.SO.
Curb stocks lowered close to
the lower limits of their trading
range of the past week, in
apathetic dealings today, with
little speculative interest shown
in the proceedings of the market
as a whole.
Until either the market is able
to move convincingly into new
high ground for the year, or until
reactionary tendencies indicate
that the peak of the advance has
been definitely reached, the rank
and file of speculator is not al
al anxious to take position.
which accounted for the rather
substantial contraction in turn
over.
The utility group which previ-
ously could be depended upon to
give the clue to the general mar
ket trend was highly irregular.
Advances were noted in American
and Foreign Power warrants which
rose / point to 26K2. American
Gas and Electric up IS at 81 a,
Electric bond and share up 70
at 58A, and United Light and
Power up Hs at 1875.
Offsetting these gains were
losses " American Light and Trac-
ton which dipped l to So 2,
Commonwealth Edison off 70
at 249X, and Northern States
Power off 13s at 1874.

Natural Gasoline
Production Gains

The world production of nat
ural gasoline increased from Al
47O,069 barrels in 1927 to So, 200
357 barrels in 1929, a gain of 49,
73O,288 barrels, or 40 per cent. &C.
cording to the Bureau of Mines,
following the completion of a sur
vey conducted by E. B. Swanson,
chief petroleum economist,
through which the first complete
quantitative data on natural gaso-
line production and utilization in
foreign countries have been as
Sembled.
During the period covered by the
survey, United States production
accounted for more than 80 per

output of foreign plants formed
an increasing proportion of the
total. advancing from So per cent
of the total in 1927 to SO per cent
