FARM ELECTRIC SERVICE
REPORT is ANNOUNCED
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The National Electric Light AsSocia-
ton reports that 644,421 farms in the
United States were receiving electric
service on December 81. During the
year they purchased 1,779,947, 900 kilo-
watt hours of electric energy, or three
times the amount sold for railroad cleo
trif1cation. Total revenue from this
service was sac, ,187, 800.
The report represents the first at
tempt to arrive at a national estimate
of American agriculture's utilization of
electricity, and was arrived at by ex-
tending the totals of companies re-
porting so as to embrace an estimated
100 per cent of the electric industry.
Production Of electricity during last
week amounted to 1878, ,185, 900 kilowatt
hours, a slight decrease over the previ-
Gus, and as per cent less than last year.

NEW YORK, June 27.-Considering
the fact that 1t had had a perpend1c-
ular rise in the past week amounting on
the average TO over 20 points and that
1t was faced this morning with q con-
fusing phase of the Hoover debt pro-
poSal, the stock market showed remark
able stability.
Early prices were in most cases frac-
tionally lower. This represented spec
ulative selling that naturally followed a
rise Of such great proportions, making
proflt-taking q temptation to speculative
holders. AS soon as this supply was
absorbed the market again advanced,
with the induStrials leading and the
rails, which had been the center OF
attraction Friday afternoon, taking sec
ond place.
Agreement Is Seen.
The first Interpretation Of the vote in
the French Chamber of Deputies sup
porting the governments note to Wash
ington was that it meant a rejection Of
the main terms of the plan and might
thereby destroy the benefits of week
of rising markets and improving busi-
ness sentiment. This view, however,
was not held by Secretary StimSon, who
States would eventually reach a salts
factory agreement on the debt and rep
arationS moratorium.
With this official point of view, Wall
street became more encouraged and re-
sumed buying of stocks in the second
hour, when many Of the high prices OF
the day were reached. The leader Of
the market was United States Steel
common, which gained over a point,
selling 20 points above the low Of the
month, but still SO points under the
high of the year. Other strong indus
trial stocks were Columbian Carbon,
which advanced nearly points; j. I.
Case, with q rise of 8 points; Interna-
tional Harvester and Eastman Kodak,
which were to 4 points higher; Johns
Manville, up. over points; Vanadium,
gaining 2i2 points, and American
Smelling & Refining. In the public
utility list American Telephone. Con-
solidated Gas and international Tele-
phone duplicated their previous high
prices Of the week after early heavineSs.
Rail Stocks.
Railroad stocks were less inclined
than industrials and public utilities to
move ahead, in view of the substantial
gains made Friday in the absence of
any confirmation of the freight rate in
crease. On the other hand they showed
no tendency to react under the discour-
aging results shown in the list OF May
earnings published today. indicating a
general average decline for the month
in net operating income Of about 80 per
cent.

INTEREST RATE CUTS
SEEN AS GOOD SIGN
Reductions Will Enable Banks to
Realize Profit on o. S.
Securities.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Government o1icials hail as good
and significant signs" the movement
in various sections of the country to-
ward reduction in interest rates on
savings deposits.
While exercising no regulatory au-
thortty, the ONCE Of the controller of
move" in this direction, because OF
the unusually easy money rates pre-
vailing,
The movement Is interpreted as
being one Of economic necessity In
order that banks may realize a profit
on Government and municipal securi-
ties as well as those issues whose in
terest payments have not been jeop-
Ardized by the depression.
Lacking q profitable avenue for sur
plus funds, the institutions, 1t is point
ed out, have in many instances sought
investments returning a Suficient yield
rather than q safe haven for idle funds
The rates paid on savings accounts
is optional with the institutions. How
ever, one bank in a community cannot
with tmpunity reduce its rate unless
other institutions in the same area are
so inclined.
A factor which has been piling up
savings steadily for more than q year
is the practice Of many corporations
in putting their surplus funds into
savings accounts rather than in the
bond market. In many instances saw
ines institutions have restricted their
accounts to q maximum of 81 900.
It Is agreed, however, that a part of
business recuperation Is healthy build
ing up Of savings. 1t Is pointed out
that unless the growth of bank deposits
keeps pace with the growth of tn:
country a shaky influence Is felt on the
general price level.

VOLUME INCREASE
AIM OF RETAILERS
Many Boosting Sales Rapid
Iy All Over Country, Monthly
Bank Review Asserts.
snecial Dispatch to The star.

CLEVELAND, June 27.-In its June
review. the Union Trust Co. says that
retailers throughout the country are ap-
parently making a desperate effort TO
achieve volume on the basis of price,
and many of them are succeeding. 1t Is
evident that when a good quality of
merchandise Is offered at rock bottom
prices buyers are attracted in large
volume.
In any comparison between 1880 and
1881, however, the remarkable decline
in retail prices must be taken into con-
sideration. Department store sales in
May, for instance, as reported by the
Federal Reserve Board, were IA per cent
below May of last year-but this was in
terms of dollars. Allowing for price de-
clineS, the volume Of merchandise act
ually moving over the counters would
probably be much the same as last May.
Similarly. sales of the Great Atlantic g.
Pacific Tea Co. for five weeks ended
May 80, 1881, showed a decline of 16
per cent in dollars, but an increase Of
15.2 per cent in tonnage. Meanwhile
there appears instances of stores or
chains which have actually increased
their dollar volume over last year. Sales
Of the F. w. Woolworth Co. for the
first week of June, were in dollars TIT
per cent greater than for the CORE
SpOf1QlnR week IN 1881.
A survey recently completed by the
Bureau Of Business Research of Har-
ward University, reported in Business
Week. presents an interesting picture of
the relationship of volume of business to
profit margins in retail trade.
The Harvard report covered the per-
Torrance of 649 stores. A group of 245
that did less than $500,000 in sales
showed net operating loss of 80 per
cent; 168 with $500,000 to $4,000 900
sales averaged 1.8 per cent operating
loss; ISL stores with sales of over
$4,000, 900 averaged 05 per cent loss.
Only small group with annual sales
volume Of over $10,000,000 showed a
profit averaging OIL per cent. The IS
speciality stores included in the survey
took loss of IL per cent
Interesting is the fact" comments
the Business Week, that the profit
of OIL per cent recorded by the 80
stores with annual sales volume Of
over $10.000,000 actually represents the
saving in operating expense they were
able to accomplish. Smaller stores
show expenses of 34.1 per cent, while
those 80 large ones did business on but
"a per cent"
Although. according to current sta
tiStics, we are still in the trough of the
depression, number of commentators
are now expressing the opinion that the
decline is nearing an end This con-
clusion is based upon the increasing
thoroughnesS with which price deflation
is being accomplished, the actual in
crease in production and sales of a
number of companies, the growing
volume of consumption goods which is
being purchased and the expectation
of an inevitable increase in replace
ment demand. Although we are now
in period of seasonal dullneSs, many
careful observers feel that the worst is
over and that Autumn should witness
substantial improvement
