WAR DEBT TALK

FROM RISING
BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, Nov. II U.N.SD.
With American Telephone and
Electric Bond and Share doing
the handsome thing on their divi.
dends, Wall Street is breathing a
little easier.
There are plenty of other
thornS on the road, notably the
war debts. The market, however,
has been on the downgrade for
several days and ought to have
q little kickback at least.
More than this can hardly be
expected without some good news.
One interesting development is
the number Of investment counsel.
1ors that have turned bullish in
the last few days. The latest is
Young and Ottley, one of the best
known.
Their attitude is that leading
stocks. should be accumulated on
weakness over the next two
months.
Bond Dividend Surprise
We understand that the Bond
and Share insiders, particularly
Sidney z. Mitchell. chairman.
bought quite a load of stock
around its low yesterday. The
dividend was surprise, especially
to the shorts.
Uncertainty of what is going to
happen to the war debts is keep
ing a lot of buying out Of the
market.

Although normally there is a
gain in rail operating net in
the third quarter as compared
with the second, the increase Of
95 per cent this year is better
than usual, comparing with only
% per cent in the corresponding
periods of 1881, according to a
statement issued by MoodyS In.
vestors Service. The larger per-
centage gain is credited mainly
to the increase in carloadings,
combined with lower wage rates.
The analysis points out that
while the trend from the second
to the third quarter of this year
is favorable, rail operating net
for the first nine months of 1882
was sos per cent below the
same period of 1881.
In the industrial field, also,
only two goups were able to re-
port improved earnings in the

Rail Operating Net Falls
Short of Fixed Charges

eaningS Of $1S,652 600 in the
first nine months Of 1882 against
a deficit of $41,848.0OO in the
corresponding period Of 1881.
On the basis Of earnings for
the first eight months of 63 Of
the most important railroads, the
companies as "a group will earn
for the year about IT per cent
of their fixed charges as COM
pared with IL per cent last year,
and there will be about $780,
10000 available for payment OF
fixed charges approXimating
$500, 900, 900, leaving a net deficit
of about $l60,00O,000 compared
with a net income Of $134,7 ,761,-
600 last year.
Asoody'S finds that only II
of the SO railroad companies in
cluded in the analysis will cover
charges one or more times this
year. Forty-six, or about 73 per
cent will apparently fail to cover
fixed charges in full. Thirty, or
about so per cent, will probably
show less than half of their
fixed charges earned.

The decline in business last

WOULD AID EDUCATION
Tracy F. Tyler Urges Regulation
on National and 1nterna-
tional Basis

Progress in education and culture by
radio can be made only by divorcing
radio from advertising Tracy F. Tyler
secretary and research director of the
National Committee on Education by
Radio. declared in an address before
the Torch Cub last night.
How can we expect much Of educa-
ton and culture from the radio when
We allow the advertiser to determine the
programs we receiver" Mr.. Tyler asked
He wants large general audience to
teach them one thing only-'buy my
product Education and culture is a
process Of teaching many things to
many homogeneous groups. Only by
divorcing radio from advertising sup
port can progress be made"
Mr.. Tyler proposed a technical regu-
lation" Of radio on a national and in
ternational basis He insisted, however,
that Government control should stop
there, permitting the States themselves
to decide how to use the facilities allo-
Gated to them by the Federal Govern
ment.
Illustrating the practica biIity of nom
advertising radio operation, Mr.. Tyler
cited the British system In that ma
ton, he said, radio programs ere pro-
vided through an annual license fee OF
