ON BETTER BUYING
Wall Street Encouraged by
Second Quarter Statements
of Corporations.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch To Inc SlaT
NEW YORK, July 2l.-Refecting
Wall Streets more cheerful mood, prices
advanced on the Stock Exchange today.
Trading was in larger volume than on
Monday, but even SO 1t was not much
over 1000, 900 shares. Gains were not
large, but the movement was uniform,
the improvement being shared by both
rails and induStrials.
The feature in the last hour was the
buying of the ow-priced oils on eX-
pectation of an increase in the price of
crude in the mid-coptinent field. U. S.
Steel was strong on estimates of an In
crease in rate Of operation.
The better feeling in the market re-
suited not so much from the cable dis
patches relative to the German situa-
ton, although they were encouraging,
as 1t did from increased optimism re-
garding the outlook at home. In the
first place the second quarter earnings
statements coming to hand made more
favorable comparisons with those OF
a year ago than had been predicted.
Net and gross income. were lower, 1t Is
true, but they were not as low as had
been expected.
Traders discovered also that there
was no stock pressing on the market for
sale This was particularly true with
regard to the railroad SnareS. Attempts
to buy any sizeable blocks were sue
cessful only by bidding up the price.
AS a matter of fact, the June state
ments of the railroads showed that the
rate Of decline from the preceding year
was decreasing Chesapeake g. Ohio WIS
actually able to increase US net operat-
ing income this June ever June a year
ago.
Views with regard to the action of the
directors on the U. S. Steel dividend
week from today, whether from the &C
ton OF the stock in the market or for
some other reason. were more optimts-
tic. Up to today the majority opinion
had been that the rate would be cut at
least to a per cent basis but the num-
Der of those willing to wager that the
regular dividend would be declared
gained as the session progressed.

DAY. with a similar gain for New York

peared in Western Maryland. which was
the feature of the non-dividend payers.
Sugar stocks were again favored, in

sold within couple OF points of the
high of the year.

WORLD CREDIT
BANK PROPOSAL
Up TO FRANCE
More to Save investments
in Germany Meeting
Some DiSfaVor.
BY RICHARD d. M'MILLAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Oct. 29.-Plans for crea-
ton of an international credit bank
to transform the immense total OF
short-term credits invested in Ger
many into credits of from three to
five years were revealed here today.
The United Press learned that
Emile Francqui, Belgian flnancier
who discussed the plan with Presi-
dent Hoover at Washington, had &C
cepted an invitation to proceed to
Paris from the United States and
confer on the proposal with Premier
Pierre Laval and Finance Minister
Pierre Etienne Flandin.
It was understood that Mr.. Hoo
yer, Eugene Meyer, governor of the
federal reserve board, and George
L. Harrison, governor of the federal
reserve bank of New York, approved
the plan and that the fate of the
scheme depended upon French
financial support, which was not
entirely assured.
The international credit bank
would cooperate with the Bank for
International Settlement at Basic
and, through processes of discount,
would transform short term credits
in Germany estimated variouSly at
between $1,OOO,OOO,OOO and $2,OO0,-
100000. The bank would centralize
control of large international credit
operations.

FILLING STATION
THROAT CUTTING
DOOM is SEEN
Day of One at Every Hot
Dog Stand Near End,
Oil JobberS Told.

BIZ United Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. 20
The day Of a filling station on every
corner and one at every hot dog
and barbecue stand along the high
ways is near an end.
This is the prediction. of r. ]. Nc
Dowell, Detroit oil man.
THE oil industry right now is in
the same period of wasteful COM
petition as we're the railroads in the
days Of Hill and Hartman" Nc
DoWell, here for the meeting of the
Big -Four Oil States Independent
Jobbers Association, said in an in
terview with the United Press.
Mcdowell urged the jobbers to
unite in support of a program de-
signed to reduce the number of re-
tailers.
Retailers are realizing it is to the
interest of none of them to set
filling stations on every street
corner, Mcdowell said.
Soon, the oil msS>said, there will
be fewer and bette retail outlets
and these will be lLAnned by highly
paid attendants, skilled in the arts
of craftsmanship.
But, according to Mcdowell, the
consumer probably won't get his
gasoline any more cheaply.
Gasoline is cheap enough" he
said Retailers aren't making any
money now"
Refiners already have taken steps
to stop mushroom spread of oil re-
failing establishments, Mcdowell
emphasized They now are de-
handing that station owners buy
the equipment.
Under these circumstances, he
added, no longer will every hot dog
and barbecue stand in the nation
sell gasoline as a sideline.
Filling stations in the last ten
years have been on steady in
crease, he said.
In 1921 there were 200 consumers
to the station.
Today the number is far below
that-SiXty-six for every regular fill
ing station, to say nothing of road
side stands which sell gasoline to
supplement other income. There
are three filling station for every
mile of paved highway in the ma
ton, he said.

Alaska roads old rates are only from 25 to 35 per cent higher, due to increases in tariffs of the West ern railways in the States. The aim of the Alaska Railroad rate revision is to restore it's rates to about 100 per cent above the rates of the roads in the Western States.
 "One million dollars was appro- prlated fer the Alaska Railrcad by the recent Congress- S5O0,OG0 to apply on operating expenses; $250,- 000 for capital improvements and s250,O0o for the investigation Of mineral resources in the zone of the railroad with view to de- veloping business for the transpor- tation system.
 Half and Half
 Operating expenses are expect ed to total approximately S1 100000 If the business this year equals in volume the business of last year traffic, under the increased rates will yield $5oO,O0O, which with ths s500,000 allowed by Congress will meet all operating expenses. The $250,000 for capital i'm provements will be expended chief ly for ditching, bank widening an, ballasting. These Improvements will reduce maintenance cost $170,. 000 year. They will permit tht faster operation Of traina, thereby i reducing overtime outlay; will de crease the wear and tear on rollins stock, and will minimize hazards.
 Geological Survey to Help
 Tn expending the $250,o0O al lowed fer investigation of minera resources, the railroad will have tn cooperation of the Geological Sur vey, which will furnish the per sonnel for such activities. Thi investigation will be directed | all mineral resources, but particula attention will be given to the an thracite coal possibilities of tn jChickaloon ridge north of Anchor Iage.'
