Nine Big Industries Advise
Manufacturers of Distinct
Gains; Autos, Textiles Good

NEW YORK, Oct. 80 Q.N.S).
Americas recovery from the in
duStrial and economic depression
is under way, according to the
annual trade survey of the Ma
tional Association Of Manufac-
turers, which held its thirty-sixth
annual meeting here.
A distinct upturn in business
was reported by nine industries
in reply to QUESTIONABLE sent
to members in 26 industries rang
ing from automobiles to textiles.
Prospects for the winter were
considered fair, good or excellent
by SO per cent Of the 500 men,
berS Of the organization who an
Bwered the inquiry.
The a u t o m bile accessories,
chemical, electrical, paper and
pulp, textile, rubber and print
ing industries were among those
that reported considerable busi-
ness gains over last year.
The fact that inventories were
at the lowest point in years, &C
cording to data furnished, aroused
hope that industry would soon
begin to absorb much Of the
present idle labor.

Issues Heavy.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March with few
exceptions, bonds today maintained yes
terday's position, in spite of an inclina-
ton to take profits in some of the
foreign issues that have had a remark
able advance this week.
This temptation did not appear, how
ever, to have been exercised In the case
of the German, Australian and Italian
issues that have been moving higher
each day. The German 5hs were ac-
lively traded in around 49, Australian
412s were up to SIS and the IS near 10,
a recovery IN the latter of Is points.
Italian government IS crossed par
again. The 6h per cent city loans
were fractionally higher.
In the domestic list heaviness was
again reflected in the bonds of the oil
companies. Phillips Petroleum 5Ks lost
another 2 points, making the total drop
for the week points. Shell Pipe Line
SIS were at one time of points, but
recovered part of their loss. Pure Oil
512s dropped point and Texas Cor
poration SIS u point.
The amusement company convertibles
were also heavy, but declines were con-
fined to- fractions. The removal from
the legal list of New York State of sew
eral rairload bonds today had a senti-
mental effect on other issues where the
margin over the legal requirements is
slowly diminishing. A break of points
occurred in Atlanta g. Birmingham As,
although the current interest on these
bonds was ordered paid by the Seaboard
Air Line receivers. There has been
considerable liquidation in Chicago g.
Northwestern Ans, with a slight de-
cline again today in st. Louis-San
Francisco prior lien Is.
High grade domestic bonds were dull.
The demand for them from institutions
continued heavy with the supply in linn
tied volume. United States Govern
ment issues were generally lower.

Tennessee Electric Power.

tThis is the thirty-fifth article of a
rn On the the S pneps # Spss nt and

present the facts without any attempt g
Controlled by Commonwealth and
Southern Corporation, which owns
practically all of the common stock,
Tennessee Electric Power serves large
territory in the State of Tennessee.
Electric light and power account for
n per cent of gross, and SO per cent
of net earnings, the balance being de-
rived principally from transportation
operations. Among the important CEN
tiers served are Nashville, Chattanooga
and Knoxville.
Investment interest is confined, as
Tar as the public is concerned, to the
bonds and to the preferred stocks. All
OF the. bonds are high-grade securities.
There are two series secured under the
hrst and refunding mortgage, one with
per cent coupon maturing in 1947, and
one with per cent maturing in 1856.
The per cent issue sells in the market
10 give relatively high return, simply
because so many investors hesitate to
pay premium for a bond.
AT recent prices the SIS yielded a little
over per cent and the SIS around So
per cent. The latest statement of earn
ings, that for the IL months ending
November 80 last, shows charges COW
cred 2.3 times, which is a highly con-
servative margin. These earnings. both
gross and net, are slightly lower for
1880 than they were for 1929, due to
the industrial depression, put the fall
ing OF Is so small as to be unimportant.
The preferred stocks come in three
issues, all of them 500 par, and all of
them cumulative, enc paying per
cent; one, z per cent, and one, 70 per
cent. All three issues have good mar
kets, but the largest interest is in the
per cent. From 81 per cent to 6Ih
per cent is the yield at the market at
tractiye for income, but with little
speculative possibilities, because price
appreciation is limited by the fact that
the per cent Is calIable at los per
share and the 7 per cent at ITO per
share. At this writing the accounts for
the calendar year 1880 are not avail
able, but in 1929, $1902 a share was
earned on the outstanding preferred.
