METAL RATE HEARINGS
STARTED IN NEW YORK
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Hearings are now under way in New
York City by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in its investigation Of the
nonferrous metal rate structure. These
will probably be the last in the case,
which has been pending for more than
two years, except for rebuttal evidence
by railroads at later hearing in
Washington.
Previous hearings have been held
here and in Chicago at which carriers
presented evidence, and at Far Western
points, and Joplin where shippers were
heard. The case will be argued finally
before the commission here before O
decision is announced.
The present hearings are expected to
last throughout next week with shippers
continuing their opposition to any in
crease in the present rates. During
the hearings the railroads have not
taken pronounced stand for change
in rates, combining their presentation to
conditions under the present rate
structure.
The inquiry was initiated by the
commission under an act Of Congress
authorizing it to readjust the rate
structure on all products, and there has
been a feeling the commission might
increase the metal rates in order to
make up loss of revenue to carriers due
to reduction of rates on agricultural
products.

GASOLINE EXPORT
PRICES ARE REDUCED
Recent Slash in Crude Oil Quota
tons Influenced by Big Rus
sian Shipments.
Special Dispatch to the star.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Export
gasoline prices along the Gulf of Mexico
were reduced an average of one-half
cent gallon yesterday as a result of the
slash in crude oil quotations in the
midcontinent fields.
The Gulf gasoline situation has been
aggravated by increasing Russian and
Rumanian competition, the lack of a
petroleum export association and
further gains in the Texas crude oil
output.
Export prices for u S. motor gasoline
yesterday were quoted here by Gulf COM
panieS at AZ to cents gallon against
5i4 cents heretofore. One of the grades
popular in Europe-the 64-66 gravity
yesterday was offered at 57s cents, or e
less than a week ago.
Persistent dumping from Russia and
Rumania has virtually shut of export
demand for Gulf gasoline, though the
huge and thoroughly integrated Amer
lean companies with strongly intrenched
foreign marketing subsidiaries continue
to export gasoline on a moderate scale.
The oil trade here considers it rather
significant that just year ago yesterday
United States motor gasoline for export
from Gulf ports was quoted at 8 cents
a gallon and the 1856 gravity at 9
cents. The foreign market then was
under control of the Petroleum Export
Association, which was dissolved late
last year.

Spring BUSINESS
|. OUTLOOK BRIGHTER
Early Arrival of Easter Ex-
pected to Help Speed
Retail Sales.

In its annual Spring forecast, the
United Business Service of Boston pre-
diets as follows:
General Business.-So far this year
trade and industry have lowered be-
tween % and IS per cent below normal.
The firmness of this general business
index, following the steep declines last
year, is distinctly encouraging, and the
Spring season is entered with mod
crate degree of optimism which seems
justified. Spring business is not ex-
pected to exceed the normal advances
for this time of year, however.
Sales-Increased optimism is espe-
cially noticeable in the large centers
and this has tended to reduce sales re-
sistance somewhat. Spring business
will be speeded up by the fact that
Easter comes Is days earlier than last
year. It is estimated that the dollar
volume of Spring sales for the entire
United States will be within Is per cent
of last years figures, even though prices
on many items have been reduced by
this percentage.
Commodity Prices-A greater stead
general advance will not take place
until the revival in business is well
under way.
Stock Prices-Increased stability in
stock prices should be manifest this
Spring as business moves up in sup
port. The strictly technical advances
that have been made so far this year
have been made with little regard to
the position of business. AS conditions
improve this Spring, more rational
causes for higher stock prices will be
presented and the path of least resist
ance will be consistently upward.

DURING RECENT DEPRESSION
Annual Report Shows Revenues of 1922
O14,871; Number of Shareholders In
creases 81 1898; Cash Position Strong.

foreign countries and possessions OF the
United States.
Stability of the company's earnings in
the last 20 years is indicated by the fact
that from 1911 to 1921, inclusive, the
lowest per share amount earned on the
capital stock in any one year was 1898
and the highest total $11.72. From
1922 to 1880 the lowest per share earn
ings were S10.44 in 1880 and the high
est S12.67 in 1929. Dividends of So were
paid continuously from 1911 to 1921,
when they were increased to 1915 a
share and to SO in 1922, which is the
current rate.
Teletype Co. Acquisition.
One of the most important acquisi-
tons made by the company during 1890
was that of Teletype Co., purchased by
a stock exchange and now operated as
subsidiary of Western Electric. Its
Importance in the communications field
is growing weekly, for it manufactures
machines for sending and receiving
typewriter messages by wire. Until re-
Gently, when the name teletypewriter
was chosen, these machines were known
variously as telephone typewriters, tele-
graph typewriterS or printer telegraphs.
These teletypewriters are used extern
sively upon the Wires of the Bell Sys-
tenn. The company also sells them to
the telegraph companies.
1t is obvious that with the purchase
of that company, the Bell System Is en-
barking on big expansion in this rap
idly growing field and the development
of special telephone and teletypewriter
equipment and circuits has made it
possible to provide elaborate networks
for rapid Accommodation among
widely scattered units of larger organ
izations. Furthermore, the Bell Lab
oratories has developed switchboard
to use with the teletypewriters. Thus
written word such as the telephone sys-
tenn is for the spoken word is possible.
The company will provide a fast, eco
nomicaI and accurate intercommunicat-
ing service to teletypewriter users con-
nected with its system.

index is down 40 per cent and It is
quite apparent that the price decline
was oyerdone. Available stocks are
large only in terms of the radically
reduced rate Of consumption. There is
not burdensome supply Of cattle hides
or leather in this country, and, more
over, a large portion of annual re-
quirementS comes from foreign coun-
tries.
Non-Ferrous Metals.
Non-ferrous metals were lower, but
the average is holding above the low
established in late February. Copper
has shown some weakness, which Is
the principal reason for the decline
In this group. Prices of other products
are huctuating within a narrow range.
Fine Textiles.
A downward trend has been shown
by fine textiles for the past two weeks.
The upturn In the price of cotton from
the low in December was too rapid to
be healthy. The outlook for the con-
sumption OF cotton is more ENCOURAGING
and the total consumption during the
last six months Of the season should
exceed by marked margin the first
half years consumption.
The four groups which declined dur
ing the past week were fuels, non-fer-
rous metals, textiles, fine and coarse.
The groups which remain unchanged
were industrial products, chemicals and
paper and pulp.

Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY III. n. McGHL,
Editor McGnl Commodity Service.


AUBURNDALE, Mass, March "A H1.
For the second consecutive week more
individual groups advanced in price
than declined. During the week just
closed, out of IA separate computations
Of commodities, six advanced, four de-
clined, and four remain unchanged.
Rising prices were stronger than price
declines and the net result was a mod
crate upturn in the average Of all COM
modities.
The total volume of business remains
low, yet certain industries-iron and
steel, automobile, building, textiles and
others-have shown more disposition to
expand AS matters now stand the ex-
treme low point in the depression to
date was reached in late December and
early January and in recent weeks the
trend has advanced. In order for the
year 1881 tc make a fair showing COM
pared with the radical readjustment OF
1880, a substantial revival In all
branches of industry and commerce
must naterialize.
Some Of the most reaSsuring factors
center on the volume of new production
which for a period CT two months has
held at level which is comparable with
6OSA
barometer as portraying future events.
During the past month the amount OF
cotton goods produced fell sharply I'M
der actual sales and new orders causing
a substantial decline in stocks on hand.
The copper industry has finally reduced
output TO q level which has permitted
several favorable reductions in inven-
tories of refined copper in North and
South America.
Based on latest reports, commodity
prices are showing more resistance TO a
downward trend and are entering into
more definite period Of sterilization.
All Commodities.
Noting specific changes, the average
Of all commodities recorded the first adj
vance for a period Of many weeks. The
upturn was due to a moderate price re-
covery in live stock, higher prices for
lumber, hides and leather, ferrous met
ais paint materials and vegetable oils
The average for industrial products re-
mains unchanged and this was also true
Of the agricultural list.
Hides and Leather.
During the past week hides and
leather recorded favorable price In

BEARS LAST STAND
Is SEEN BY EDITOR
Storm Believes Present Assaults on
Market Are Part of
New Campaign.
nv CHARLES w. STORM.

Editor the News Service Of Wall Street.
Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, March 14.-The fight
going on in the stock market today
marks the last stand by the army Of
professional bears, who, drunk with
their success in the 1880 bear cam
paign, are once more attempting to as
sault the bulwarks of returning pros
perity.
AS happens in all fights, the innocent
bystander in the market is at his wits
end to understand what Is going on.
Important banking interests and big
operators, who have made their for
tunes out of constructive Developments
in business and finance, are aligned on
the bull side of the market and have
been the chief buyers of stocks during
the recent unSettlement.
The men who have been buying
stocks recently feel confident that there
will be a betterment in worldwide in
dustrial as well as financial conditions
by reason of the resumption Of foreign
loans by American and French banking
interests. Money is the blood of in
dustry, and the injection of billions of
new money into foreign and domestic
enterprises is bound to stimulate in
dustry throughout the world.

the latest increase is the expansion in

CURB SHARES GAIN
!. after SLOW START
Public Utilities Again Feature
Gradual Upturn at Short
Session.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.
gpecial Dispatch to rhe Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 14-Hesitant at
the opening, today's Curb Exchange ses-
sion slowly but steadily gained ground
as the session progressed.
The leader OF the list, Electric Bond
g. Share, was up fractionally, along
with American & Foreign Power War
rants, American Superpower and Mag
ara Eudson Power. Cities Service came
in demand near the end of the first
hour and worked slightly higher.
American g. Foreign Power has COM
pleted acquisition of United Eastern
Agencies. Ltd, which enables the fer
mer to add substantially to its holdings
of Utilities in India. Estimates OF 81
share on American e. Foreign Power
common for 1880 continue to be heard
In trading circles.
Others Features.
The various shares of General Baking
Corporation featured the food list After
the new when-issued common hit a
new high, other issues such as Mead
johnson came out at higher prices.
DuIant Motors, whose Canadian plant
will be used to make Nash cars, was the
early motor leader. Later Ford Motor,
Ltd, came into prominence when its
Holland subsidiary showed an eXpan-
sion of net profits and the German
company estimated that its 1881 sales
would exceed those of last year by some
1000 cars.
Strength and activity of low-priced
issues featured the first half hour today.
Sharing in this movement were, in order
named public utilities, natural gas, oils
and miscellaneous industrials. In virtu-
ally every case it was one Of the minor
rather than the major factors in
given industry that forged ahead. Only
after the lesser issues moved did the
leaders meet demand.
Southwest Gas Utilities, for example,
led the natural gas shares by rising u
points on a string of sales. Then Amer
icon Natural Gas and Saxet Co. gained.
The latter hit new 1881 peak. United
Gas turned active, one block of 1000
shares coming out at 10Is.
