Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 3-The
strain on the railroads, due to the per-
pendicular decline in their gross reve-
nues and in their net operating income,
Is now visible in the receiyership for
the Wabash Railroad which has been
forced into bankruptcy because of in
ability to meet current accounts. 1t is
this difficulty. rather than embarrass-
ment over maturing security obliga-
tions, that for the second time within
about is years has placed the road in
its present financial difficulties.
1t is true that the Wabash had S616,-
900 of equipment trust certificates fall
ing due December /. The amount in
itself, however, was too small to have
necessitated receivership. Not until
1889 do any of its long-term bonds
mature. For the 10 months ended Oc-
tober 81 gross revenues were approx
mately s10O0o,o00 below those for the
same period last year and $4,000 900
under 1929. The net operating income
to october 81 was less than s705000,
compared with S6.250,000 the first 10
000 900 in 1929.
Funds Insufficient.
This shrinkage was SO tremendous
that the road had difficulty in securing
banking accommodations. In Septem-
Der the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion authorized it to repledge it's orig
irlal holdings Of about $4,000 shares of
Lehigh Valley common stock under
short term notes that were to run until
June 80, 1888. This gave the road op-
portunity to negotiate with its bankers
for a $10,000,000 issue of Al per cent
notes. A part of the loan was to pro-
vide for financial needs to the end Of
1881. Insufficient funds, however, were
secured to offset the urgent demands
of creditors supplying the road with
materials.
The Wabash would have been one

INVESTMENT INSTITUTE

ROME, December 3.-Premier Musso-
lini has sent communication to the
Chamber of Deputies explaining the
reasons for the creation of a national
institute of industrial and commercial
enterprise known as the rInstituto
Mobilaire Italiano," which has been
unanimously approved by the Chamber.
This institution is one Of the most
notable state innovations yet effected
by the Fascist government. 1t places
all the nations capital and investment
for industrial and commercial enter
pr1ses in the hands of one great insti-
tute, which Is under government aus
plces and control. 1t will collect cap
ltal for investments, buy and sell shares,
make loans and provide capital for new
ventures
The object of the institute is the sta
bilization of existing enterprises and
timely financial assistance to prevent
speculation in the artificial rise and fall
OF shares. The holding and distribution
OF shares Is thereby taken out of the
hands OF bankers and brokers, who can
deal only with the National Institute
and act as simple Intermediates be-
tween buyers and sellers, without fav-
ing any influence on prices
All industrial shares already have
been handed over by the banks to the
National Institute and its capital has
already been subscribed twice

Short Selling.

NEW YORK. December 3 CSpeciaD.
One of the large Stock Exchange
houses has just made an analysis of a
recent days operations and finds that
38 per cent Of the total transactions
for the particular period represented
short selling. Over 80 per cent was In
odd lots. This gives an idea of the
extent to which sales for short account
are influencing the resctionary trend
OF the market. Such sales have the
same effect on prices as an equal num-
Der Of offerings for long account.
The disposition to sell the market
short, which has become so general,
prevents it from taking advantage OF
any favorable developments and acts
as constant weight on it. For this
reaS there is strong body of opinion
among Stock Exchange members that
further restrictions on short selling
should be put into effect. 1t is be-
lieved that with short selling under
rigid control, The amount of cash buy
ing taking place from day to day would
absorb considerable portion of actual
liquidating sales. The extent of this
buying is indicated in the fact that
one house in the last week of October
and during November bought over
100000 shares In odd lots that were
paid for outright.
