MODEST RALLY

Handful of Utilities Also
Benefit, and Rail Shares
Partially Recover Losses
BY w. S. COUSINS


NEW YORK. Aug. II Q.N.SD
Stocks drifted irregularly through
a narrow range of prices today.
The bulls made no effort to run
in the shorts" as they did near
the close Of yesterdays session,
the most active and vigorous in
more than a month.
The rails we're unable to fol
low the lead of the best ,grade
industrials and utilities and, lost
q part of the ground gained
near the close of Tuesdays
market.
u. S. Steel Demand Brisk
United States Steel, General
Motors and handful of the utili-
ties and specialties staged a
further oderate rally and
reached the best levels of prices
since the middle of July. A more
cheerful outlook in the steel in.
dustry, with many important con-
sumers increasing their orders
for fall delivery, was largely re-
Sponsible for the better demand
for the industrial shares. United
States Steel, at 8912. showed a
gain of 51a points over yester-
days lowest price, and buying
demand appeared to be fairly
brisk at the top.
Uneasiness over the railroad
freight rate situation was mainly
responsible for the early reaction
in the well-known rail shares, but
losses barely extended over , to
3 points and the early afternoon
saw. a rally in sections of this
list.
Dividend Cuts Seen
New Haven and New York Cen
trail lines will both consider divi-
dend payments during the second
week of September and drop to
$4 a share in New Haven is gen.
orally forecast in Wall Street.
The low-priced non-dividend rails
were reactionary, with losses If
a point or more in Katy, Missouri
Pacific, etc. Atchison and Union
Pacific were firm.
Cotton was again under pres
sure and we'll off about rs cents
a bale to close to the years bot
tom prices. Though wheat and
corn also dropped off. there was
plenty of buying demand for all
offerings. Commodity prices in
the local markets were firm.

UNEMPLOYMENT
WORSE IN JULY

Increased unemployment was
noted in all but isolated instances
in the weekly report on business
conditions covering 80 localities,
late yesterday by the Presidents
Emergency Committee for Unem-
ployment.
Seasonal activities in California,
where fishing and canning in
duStries are under way, gave an
optimistic tone to the report,
while encouraging word also came
from Atlanta, Memphis and
Dallas.
Generally, according 10, the re-
port, the public is taking advan-
tage of low price levels in the
retail trade, but wholesale move
ment Of commodities remained
slow. Slight improvement was
noted in some Of the manufactur-
ing trades, but generally the
orders were reported few.

GAS COMP PAN|ES
FOUND SOUND

To no inconSiderable extent,
the present sound financial condi'
ton of gas companies can be
traced to their earning records
In bulletin No. 81, the bureau of
business research Of the Univer.
Sity Of Illinois has analyZed the
operating ratios. the capital turn.
over ratios, and earning power
ratios of natural gas and manu-.
factured gas companies.
When averaged over a period of
years, from 1920 to 1926, it was
found that for each dollar of in.
veStment the gross operating
revenues Of manufactured gas
companies annually amounted to
"a cents, as compared with Is
cents for natural gas companies.
In other words, these companies
turned their total assets about
once each four years.
AS Is generally known, the manu-.
factured gas companies made
great progress between 1920 and
1925. Operating ratios of typical
companies were reduced from .83
in 1920 to N in 1925, fixed
charges from .O8 to .O5 of gross
revenues, and net income in.
creased from .O9 to .18 of gross
revenues. However, offsetting
this, in part, there was a reduc.
ton in the productivity of capi.
tai, the gross revenues to total
assets ratio declining from .26 in
1920 to "a in 1926.
Net earnings Of the typical
manufactured gas company in
creased from At per cent of total
assets in 1920 to 81 per cent in
1925. The net profit to common
stock equity, likewise, increased
from .05S in 1920 to .O75 in 1925.

Campbell Soup Co. Head Shown by
Inventory Of Estate One Of
East's Wealthiest.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., April 18.-An
inventory Of the estate Of DR.. John T.
Dorrance, head of the Campbell Soup
Co., who died last September, shows
that he was probably the richest resi-
dent of New Jersey and one of the
wealthiest in the East.
The inventory, filed yesterday, ap-
praises the personal property at $114,-
85O,733. 1t was unofficially estimated
that the estate will have to pay inher-
itance taxes amounting to at least $21,-
100000. New Jersey is expected to
profit from this source to the National
Government.
The state and Federal taxes will be
paid from income so that the corpus of
the estate will remain intact. To ac-
compliSh this DR.. Dorrance provided
that the final distribution shall not be
made until the tax money has been re-
turned to the corpus through income
over period of not more than 16 years
after his death.
Until the estate has been reimbursed
for the tax money, the widow, who be-
fore her marriage was Ethel NAL
linckrodt OF Baltimore, will receive one
quarter Of the net income from the
estate in monthly payments. The son,
John =. Dorrance, II years old, will re-
cetve $4,000 monthly, and each of the
four daughters $4,000 monthly. Mean
while the income from the remainder of
the estate Is expected to make up the
amount paid for taxes If this is made
uU in less than the 16-year period, the
final settlement will be Immediately
made. II the tax money is not recov-
cred IN the 16-year period the division
shall be made anyway.
