To RETIRE
SIGNAL STOCK

General Railway Signal Com
pany has called a special meeting
of stockholders to be held on
September IA, at Rochester, N. Y,
for the purpose of taking action
upon a resolution adopted by
the board of directors at a
meeting on August 27, proposing
that 32,5OO shares of the COM
mon stock of the company, here
tofore acquired and now in the
treasury, be retired.
In a letter sent to stockholders
by w. w. Salmon, president, he
says:
"YOur directors believe that,
considering the excellent finan-
cial condition of your company,
it will be wise to retire the
stated amount of common stock
and make the necessary adjust
nients of the balance sheet as
stated in the notice Of meeting.
I recommend the retirement Of
this stock"

Working Capital 1923, 900, 900
Now Against 100000 900,
And Profit Replaces Loss
BY TIL SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The
striking contrast IN results OF
General Motors in 1881 and 1921,
two periods of subnormal busl-
ness, stands out vividly as
against the unfavorable compar-
isons of other big industrial cor
porations.
General Motors in 1921 showed
loss of As millions before COM
mon dividends, with sales total
ing 215,0OO cars. There was only
81 millions of working capital
left.
Likely to Earn Dividend
Observers estimate from 120 to
140 millions of earnings ap-
plicable to be common stock this
year, or approximately the re-
quirement for the present So
dividend. Sales are estimated
above 100000 cars. while work
ing capital is 328 millions, includ-
ing 246 millions in cash, as Of
June 80.
A relatively light capitalization
is likely to prove a distinct
advantage for speculation for the
rise, and bullish interests are
scanning the stock list for pos
sible favorites in this classified
tion.
A brokerage house compilation
of issues which should offer
attractive possibilities for the
trader, include air reduction,
with 841,0 900 shares outstanding;
Bohn Aluminium with $4,000
shares; Johns Manville with
100000 shares; and Safeway
Stores with 100000 shares.
Some Less Active
In the less active group, are
placed international business
machines with $4,000 shares;
Brooklyn Union Gas with 100000
shares: Penick and Ford with
425, 1000 shares, and General Rail.
way Signal with $4,000 shares.
Some observers say the fact
that stock exchange transactions
during August totaled only
24,828,522 shares, the smallest
for any corresponding month
since 1924, attests the absence
of important liquidation.

MISSOURI COAL
OUTPUT DIPS

Production of coal in Missouri
in 1880 was 3.S per cent less than
in the preceding year. according
to a statement just issued by the
United States Bureau Of Mines,
Department Of Commerce. The
total output for the year
amounted to 3,s53,150 net tons,
as against 4,O3O,311 tons in 1929.
Substantial increases in the
coal output of Bates and Ran
dolph counties were reported. But
production also advanced N a
number of the smaller producing
counties. In Barton County, on
the other hand, production de-
clined from 1,622,O00 tons in 1929
to 1,515,000 tons in 1890, q de-
crease of almost Z per cent.
The total value Of the coal pro-
duced by the mines Of Missouri
in 1880 is placed at $685., 900. or
an average value Of $2.33 per ton.
In comparison with the average
value of the coal produced in the
previous year, this is a decrease
of 10 cents ton and reflects the
general decline in commodity
price levels.

Pounds Ice for Air
Cooling in July

The American Ice Co. re-
ports that it's production of ice
for air cooling and condition
ing purposes amounted to
1850, 900 pounds in July.
While this volume is only a
fraction of the company's total
production, this is the first
year in which ice has been used
for air cooling.
The figure is significant as
indicating the large demand for
ice which will follow more gen.
eral adoption of air cooling in
theaterS, restaurants, churches,

Readings 7-Point Break Tops
Losses, But Other Carriers
and SpeCiaIties Slip Hard
BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Sept. QNS0.
The railroad stocks led the whole
market into a lower level OF
prices today. A number of the
best-known rails and specialties
fell off sharply in the first period
and were unable to recover much
of their lost ground, though raj
lies from the bottom were fire.
Quent.
The bears made the most of
the fact that the volume of sell
ing increased as prices dropped
off, transactions at noon totaling
100000 shares against 100000
shares at the same time yester-
day and an average of well under
o million sales for the full session
over the last 10 days.
Reading Breaks Hard
The drop in all stocks was in
line with the reactionary move
ments in this section of the list
In the last six months. Shrink
age Of railroad income and sue
CeSSive cuts in railroad dividends
have turned away millions of in
veStorS from the stocks of the big
transportation companies and pres
ent prices are in many cases but
- shadow of the 1929 peaks.
Readings 7-point break was
feature Of the rails today, but
new losses of / to 212 points were
recorded for New Haven, New
York Central, Southern Pacific,
Atchison and Great Northern pre-
ferred. Union Pacific finally
broke to a new at 1851, down
31a points.
United States Steel received
good support around 81 and was
able to hold fractionally above
the years low price of 831s for
the first three hours at least.
Rail Bonds Lower
American Can was among the
speculative favorites entering new
low ground, dropping 21a points
to 881a. j. I. Csea fell off about
10 points to 1874 as the result of
the unexpected complete omis-
sion of its dividend, and was ex-
tremely sluggish in its efforts to
regain lost ground.
Railroad bonds sold lower for
the second successive session, but
the balance of the bond list was
steady. Cotton rallied a few
points. Call money was un-
changed at " per cent.

CLOTH MART QUIET

NEW YORK, Sept. 3 Q.N.S).
The coarse yarn gray cloth mar
ket today was in a period of
price indeciSion on a number of
print cloth constructions. While
buyers could find yardage at the
low levels at which they sold fol
lowing the last cotton report,
there were cases of inability to
locate such opportunities. In a
number of instances efforts to
cover on under 1000 pieces failed
to arouse a swelling response,
based on reported lower than
usual prices. A considerable
amount of unfounded reports
were about. because there was
comparatively little inquiry and
serious purpose to cover.
