YIELDS
INCREASED

The pronounced price declines
during April resulted in an in
crease from 7.42 per cent to 8.58
per cent in the average yield on
the 348 active cash dividend-pay-
ing stocks listed on the New York
Stock Exchange, it is revealed by
the monthly computation of
Moody's Investors Service.
The most recent average COM
pares with 9.5 per cent at the low
prices of December II, 1880. Nu-
merous dividend reductions which
have been made since the first of
the year are responsible for the
difference of almost one per cent
in average yield at the two low
points, the analysis states.
None of the industrial groups
or stocks showed a decrease to
average yield during April.

IRON ACE LISTS
TRADE SHIFTS

NEW YORK, May 13 GN.SJ.
The Iron Age market summary to
be released tomorrow will report
that steel demand shows a tend
ency to level off rather than to
decrease further, and the gradual
decline il. ingot output which
began in the latter part of March
has been arrested.
Operations of finishing mills
continue to vary, with slight gains
in some products offset by losses
in others, but raw steel production
for the country at large remains
unchanged at Al per cent of
capacity.
Demand for Auto
Factors that have done the
most to check the downward
trend of steel demand are a bet
ter performance by the automo-
bile industry than had been ex-
pected and a larger movement of
structural steel, reinforcing bars
and line pipe. I
The Sagglng tendency Of prices
has not been halted. The Iron
Age composite for heavy melting
scrap has declined from $1O.33
to 1888 a gross ton, the lowest
figure since November 10, 1914.
At Pittsburgh this grade fell 25
cents a ton, at Chicago so cents,
and in eastern Pennsylvania IS
cents. In the last-named district
1000 tons were bought at SO
delivered, the lowest price paid
in that market since 1896.
Scrap Near Bottom
Curtailed consumption and
large yard accumulations are
both depressing factors, but Pitts.
burgh opinion is that scrap prices
are approaching bottom and
signs Of accumulating resistance
to the trend are seen in advances
Of Isl a ton on machine shop
turnings in Cleveland, and 25
cents a ton on borings and turn
ings at Detroit.

500, 600, 900 Power Plant
Proposed in Alberta

induStrialists. The electricity will
be generated by waste natural gas
from the Turner Valley oil field.
r. Crowe-Swords, of Vancouver,
representative Of the Hercules
company who placed the proposal
before Premier Brownlee of Al
berta, stated that the plan calls
for the generation of 10000 horse
power within the first year, the
expenditure of $4,000, 1000 imme-
diately, and total investment of
500, 900 900 within a period of Is
years.
In addition to cheap power for
the numerous industries already
situated in the prairie provinces,
the new project will bring many
new industries into Western Can
ada. some of which will be organ
lied as subsidiaries of the Hercules
corporation, thereby assuring an
outlet for the power.

SLUMP IN RAILS
GIVES GROUND
FORCAUT|ON
Spectator Warns Investors
Outlook Is Too CIouded to
Chance New Commitments
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, May ia
further outbreak of liquidation In
the rail group, forcing the carrier
averages to new low ground for
the downward readjustment, is
bearish indicator that cannot oe
ignored at this stage of the pro
ceedings.
The decline in the Standard
Statistics index Of 20 rails
amounted to 112 points, consider
ably more than the loss of slightly
above l point in the 80 composite
stocks.
Outlook Cloudy
REGARDLESS of the attractive
levels at which many stocks are
being quoted, the near-term out
look is too clouded to warrant
any fresh commitments at this
stage. It may be possible that
with rail stocks making up but
3 per cent of the average turn
over for a session, the impllca-
t;cns of their action will not have
the usual effect on the list as a
whole.
However, with bearish profess
sionals apparently showing little
inclination to abandon their gun
ming tactics, and with outside
bullish developments decidedly
meager, the situation is such as
to warrant decided caution on
the part of the investor or trader.
Despite the recent furry of
strength in radio common shares,
advisory services are cautioning
their clients to steer clear of the
issue. It is pointed out that busi-
ness volume of the company con-
tinues curtailed, while profit
margins have been narrowed by
preference for the new-style mid
get sets.
Big Damage Suits
In addition, the company has
been adjudged in violation of the
Clayton act, with an appeal from
this decision recently refused,
and resulting in the filing of
damage suits totaling around
$48, 100000.
Another suit by Dubilier Con-
denser, claiming damages of $10,-
100000 is also declared probable.
Conservative quarters hold to the
opinion that the risk involved in
this stock far outweighs its profit
possibilities over the near future.

NEW YORK, May 13 GN.SD.
Both in the Stock Market and
the listed bond market, railroad
securities were the outstanding
weak spots in fairly active trad.
ing today.
An early dip in a group of
the best dividend paying rails,
including New York Central and
Union Pacific, accompanied by
q further fall in railroad bonds,
served as a reminder of the un-
satisfactory situation in the
freight and passenger business
and the dwindling net income
Of the carriers.
Oil Stocks Sag
The oil stocks also faced the
handicap Of further price cuts
In gasoline at strategic consum.

Building Permits
Gain 7% In April

Building permits issued in SCI
leading cities and towns through
out the United States during
April totaled $172,346,394, a gain
of 7 per cent over March, it
was stated today by s. w. Straus
& Co. The increase compares
favorably with an anticipated
seasonal decline of 2.7 per cent
between the two months.
Permits issued in April fell off
18 per cent from the same
month of 1880, when the total
was $205,543, 1923. In the Is cities
reporting the largest volume of
permits for the month a collec-

FOOD SALES SET
APRIL MARK

Sales and earnings of General
Foods Corporation in April, 1881,
showed improvement over April
1880, in spite of extensive price
reductions during the past year.
C. M. Chester, president, stated
today. He added:
I'm fact earnings last month
were the best of any April in
General Foods history.
Manufacturing economies
have contributed much to the
improved showing, but no wages
or salaries have been reduced.
We believe that keeping up the
wage standard heightenS en-
plOyes' morale and cooperation.
This factor is undoubtedly aid
ing US in our program of indus
trial efficiency"
Another factor, he said. was
increased effectiveness in adver
tiSing and selling methods.

PARIS, 0P)-Paris has gone back
to the days of 1860 for designs of
new fall hats.
Almost without exception winter
chapeaux follow the lines worn IN
the days of the second empire when
Empress Eugene presided over the
French court.
Not much larger than a hand,
they are worn pulled over the right
eye, tilted at a rakish angle leav-
ing half the couture exposed.
So great Is their popularity. say
couturiers that. frocks and coats
must alter their lines 20 be in har-
mony.
The favorite design is a flat
crowned soft felt with gently roll
ing brim finished with a curling
plume trailing owe one shoulder or
a pair OF wings perched on the
crown. II dips and swirls in a man
ner designed to give its wearer the
coquetry Of the DAYS when Napolean
III governed France.
Felt and velvet are the favo-ite
fabrics, while the tiny fur hats Of
the elegant eighties promise to stage
a style comeback. The latter are
generally made OF such flat pelts
as astrakan and broadtail. although
reports of seal and leopard winter
chapeaux are also heard.
A pancake hat called the plateau
beret is one modiste's version Of the
romantic mode. IL is a shallow car
worn on the right side OF the head
with a narrow band Of the sara
fabric stretched around the earline
ON the other side to anchor i n
place.
A band OF uncurled ostrich or 2
line Of narrow cock feathers lies
along the top OF the diminutiye
chapeal and against the couture.
Another modiste designs a narrow
pointed hat OF white felt edged with
shirred black velvet ribbon reminis-
cent Of the days Of Queen Victoria
With the hat worn. pulled over the
right eyebrow, goes a tiny barrel
muff Of white felt and black velvet
barely large enough for the hands.
