Brazilian issues dropped to levels around

Weakness in coffee and rubber. COM

CORPORATION
REPORTS
TRENDS AND PROSPECTS OF
LEADING ORGANIZATIONS.

NEW YORK, April THE following
is today's summary of important corpor-
alton news prepared by Standard Sta
tistics Co., Inc, New York, for the
Associated Press.
News Trend.
After persistent increases in daily
average crude oil output for the Nation
in several weeks past. in spite of efforts
to curtail production, favorable news
now comes from this quarter in the
form of decrease for the week ended
April of 26,529 barrels daily, accord
ing to the Oil and Gas Journal. Such
a development is a source of encourage
ment, both because the decrease may in
dictate that curtailment efforts are meet
ing with some success and because the
decrease itself is not inconsiderable In
volume.
Steel ingot production for March is
reported above February, continuing
three-month upward trend. 1t should
be borne in mind, however, that such a
tendency is normal at this season. The
March output of 1923, 440 tons, daily
average of 1926 tons, represents an
increase Of about 10 per cent over the
daily average for March, 1880. March
quarter output is about IS per cent UNI
der the same 1880 quarter.
Indications of further progress in the
development of the four trunk-line
Eastern Consolidated plan is to be found
in the appointment of arbitrators to set
tie the differences which remain be-
tween the major parties. 1t is believed
that such differences as exist are clearly
understood by all concerned, and that
the arbitrators will be able to consider
them with small loss Of time over pre-
liminaries.

The Torch Song" by Kenyon
Nicholson. It's the story of
blues singer in a small cabaret
who falls for a travelling salesman,
plays the game by his rules and
is surprised when he walks out
on her. The river looks cool and
inviting and only the timely in
reference of a cheerful young
worker for the S. A. saves Joan
from going down stream.
Months pass and Joan has
found peace, new sense OF
values and a small measure of
happiness in joining the ranks

night she meets her former lover

membered thrills weaken her

falls into old habits, but a few

but this is an empty role for
those flashing eyes and that
crooked amile. Don't make a
mistake about this lad, he's COW

Then there is Neil Hamilton,
the travelling salesman, Neil

two English brothers for the
same girl. They are summoned
to the colors and their first mis-
understanding occurs when Tom
1ngleside discovers that Molly
Prescott, to whom he is engaged,
is really in love with his brother

ried way out of this romantic
mix-up by the simple expedient
of having the disillusioned broth
