OIL TRADE SHOWS
BETTER EARNINGS
Control of Production and
Refinery Runs Have Bene-
fitted Industry.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 27.-Oil COM
panies are selling less of their wares
than year ago, but earning state
ments, almost without exception, are
better than those for the first six
months Of 1881.
Better control Of Grade production
and reduction of refinery runs ex-
plain this apparently strange situation.
Hence the advance of oil shares, whose
sponsors have taken heart from trade
statements that, as consumption runs
into its seasonal period OF decline, pro-
duction will be further curtailed.
The current depression is the first
one, according to the Standard Oil Co.
of New Jersey, during which the in
dustry has taken the falling off OF de-
mand into consideration and reduced
its above g1ound storage. In 1921 no
production control was attempted, so
the country added 84,000000 barrels to
its stock of crude and imports.
Up to August l of this year, from
the beginning of 1880, the industry re-
duced total stocks of crude and pro-
ducts by 74,200,000 barrels, which more
than offsets the gain of 68,156,0OO bar
rels of crude and products during 1929.
Back in 1929 40 Of the largest oil
companies reported combined profits Of
$500 900 900 and profits Of domestic oil
corporations generally were the best in
a decade. Nevertheless the industry
added 68,156,000 barrels of crude oil
and products to its stocks.
Business fell away the next year, but
the same 40 companies earned S277,-
600, 900, consumption declined about 2
per cent. and the industry cut stocks
by 100000 barrels. In 1881 these
same firms lost $107,000,000, the in
duStry drew out of storage 45,000000
barrels Of oil, and consumption de-
clined per cent. Up to August l con-
sumption declined $50 per cent this
year, but stocks are down 100000 bar
rels despite the speeding up OF i'm
ports to avoid the new tariff on crude
and its products.
Hence, without this excess Q5000,-
900 barrels more than usual because OF
the tariff there would again have been
a greater reduction of stocks in recent
months" states a bulletin of Standard
Oil Of New Jersey, which points out
that imports are now below 100000
barrels a day and If this rate should
be maintained the total for the IL
months will be around 10000, 900 bar
rels. which compares with 100000
barrels imported in 1881"

HOARDED FUNDS FIND
WAY INTO MARKETS
Treasury Statements Show That
Money in Circulation Has Been
Decreasing Steadily.
BY the Associated Press.


Recent Treasury statements give in
dication that boarded funds are finding
their way into the security market.
The weekly statement of condition Of
the Federal Reserve Banks shows that
money in circulation during the week
ended August "a decreased $22 100000,
indicating a withdrawal from hoard
after making allowance for the usual
seasonal tendencies.
At the same time, statement of con-
dition of member banks in both New
York City and in Chicago revealed a
slackening of loans on securities during
the same period, the former dropping
off S11 100000. while the latter city'S
decrease was S17,000O0 These figures
are important as they relate money
activities in regions where virtually all
the security and commodity transac-
tions are effected in this country.
Banking institutions In the two cities
also indicated favorable tendency in
that the trend of their investments was
shifting from Governments to other
securities, the New York institutions
showing loss of $4,000, 900 in the Fed
eral security portfolios and a CORE
spending gain in "other securities, !"
while Chicago's loss in Governments
was 100000 and its gain in other
securities $4,000, 900.

POWER SALES
SHOW SHARP INCREASE
BY che Assoeiakes s:seks.

NEW YORK, August 27.-Electric
power production for the week ended
August 20 showed the best gain for
that week since 1929, the weekly report
Of the National Electric Light Associa-
tion disclosed.
A gain for that week, as compared
to the previous week, is normal sea-
sonal development. but this year the
total production of 1,431 10000 kilo-
watt hours reflected gain over the
week ended August Is of 1878, 900.
while in the past two years the gain
was little more than 100000. In
1929, it was 16,946.0O0.
While this weeks Improvement was
slight. it was registered in the face
of a slackening in automobile manu-
featuring. Compared to the like week
Of last year, power consumption was
of 1873 per cent, in contrast to 13.1
per cent in each of the preceding two
weeks. Wall Street Is now inclined to
regard the power figures as one Of the
best barometers of business activity.
While the aggregate decrease for the
country as a whole from last year was
1873 per cent, the Atlantic seaboard
was off only 8.8 per cent, New Eng
land alone, 81 per cent, and the Pa
cif1e Coast, 1874 per cent. The larg-
est decline was again in the central
industrial region, amounting to 1863 per
cent.

Brokers Turn Bullish.

NEW YORK. August 81 (SpeciaD -
The changed attitude of brokers toward
the stock market is illustrated in the
increasing number of individual stocks
which they recommend to their GUS
toners as purchases. Two months ago
they were extremely cautious and would
only commit themselves to handful
of the very highest grade induStrials
and public utilities. Now they are ag-
gressively promoting long list of rail-
road stocks, which they would have had
nothing to do with in June, and prac-
tically all of the leaders in the various
groups of industrials and public utilities.
The situation comes down almost to
the point Of advising buying A. o. T.,

CORRECTIVE BOND
REACTION OCCURS
AFTER RAPID GAINS
Future Course of Market Is
Declared Dependent Upon
Business.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, August z7-In the past
week the advance in the investment
market reached a eliminating phase.
In the first two sessions of the week
the buying proceeded at a pace so
rapid and in such heavy volume that
it upset all trading records for the
past three years. Then prices declined,
on Wednesday and Thursday with con-
siderable velocity, but the market raj
lied in today's trading.
Such a corrective reaction was a
foregone conclusion after two months
of advancing prices. Before the re-
action set in, the market had recovered
half of all the ground lost since the
start Of the depression-a performance
that far outdistances anything ac-
complished by stocks. And when II
did react the bond marke5 did not get
far from its top. As matter of fact,
the net decline was less than / y points
OIL the average for 60 representative
bonds.
The bond market has now reached a
critical stage and on what it does in the
next week or two depends largely the
course of prices over the rest of the
year. AS in the stock market, bonds
have been discounting in advance an
improvement in business and in COM
modify prices. The latter is an ac-
complished fact. but like the advance
in securities, is dependent for per-
manency on the expected improvement
in business.
There are some signs that business
has improved. Inquiries in the steel
trade are reported better. Car load
ings on some railroads have shown bet
ter than seasonal improvement. Con-
struction work is proceeding apace in
some centers. On the other eide there
is the application for a receiver for the
st. Louis-San Francisco Railway and
the actual appointment of receivers for
the Interborough Rapid Transit Co,
largest Of New York's transit corpora
tions.
There are dozens Of situations SINH
lar to those Of the Frisco and the In
terborough which would yield to either
Of two solutions. The first Is an i'm
mediate improvement in business. The
second is a cooperative reorganization
The latter, however, could only be
made at much lower levels for securi
ties and that is exactly what may be
expected If the first stipulation, a re-
covery in business, does not arrive
Meanwhile high-grade bonds in all
divisions of the market have moved into
new high ground for the year and have
held their levels consistently through
out the heavy selling in junior securi-
ties. Banks have been vastly reas-
sured by the quick action taken by the
r. F. c. in certain difficult situations
and have not hesitated to start buying
sound bonds After all, bank can
not make any money with its portfolio
largely filled with Treasury bills, notes
and certificates that yield from 4 of
per cent to u per cent. Once bonds Of
the grade ordinarily bought by banks
are brought back to investment levels
that is, to prices at which their yields
begin to shrink below what may be
garnered in reasonably safe business
riskc-monev will begin to pour into
industry That is the objective at
which the Federal Reserve, with its
cheap credit policy, has been aiming all
these months.

FEDERAL RESERVE
POLICY WATCHED
Wall Street Interested in Flu.
ture Market Operations
of U. S. Agency.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, August 27.-The prob
able sequel to the five months buying
campaign by the Federal Reserve Board
of Government securities, which in
creased its holdings of United States
bonds, Treasury notes, and certificates
and bills from around $740, 900, 900 to
$1,851 600, 900. is the subject of cur
rent discussion in financial circles.
The question is being asked, now that
the Federal Reserve Board has accum-
ulated the largest supply of Govern
ment paper in its history and accom-
plished what it set out to do in the way
Of developing a controlled credit eX-
pansion: Will it continue to hold this
great mass of Government issues and
run the risk of promoting dangerous
imitation or will 1t gradually def1ate its
protfolio and, in this way, help to keep
the credit situation on an even keel?
In the process of accumulating its
present holdings of Government securi-
ties the Federal Reserve Board used, as
the most convenient medium, Treasury
certificates and bills. When the buy
ing campaign started 1t held approx
mately S348 1000, 900 of this kind of pa
per. This had been increased to 81, ,151,-
696, 900 on July 27. The next greatest
increase was in purchases of Treasury
notes which rose from about S73, ,500,-
900 in the last week of February to
1858, 100000 on August IT. OF United
States bonds it purchased the smallest
amount, for these bond holdings show
an increase today of only 100000
900 out of the total gain Of $1,100,-
100000 in all kinds of Government
paper since last February.
Federal Reserve purchases Of Gov
ernment securities operate as an ease
ment on the money market, while their
sale has the reverse effect. 1t Is OBJ
vious that in both operations the trans
actions have to be effected in conform
ity with current market conditions;
otherwise they would lead to wide
fluctuations in prices, up or down.
Owing to the condition of the Govern
ment bond market early in the Sum-
mer, when weekly purchases of $780,
900, 900 were being made. this had COM
paratively little effect on prices. 1t
was involved primarily with short term
issues. 1t is not to be presumed that
the Federal Reserve in reducing its
commitments would dump bonds. notes
or bills on the market IN amounts suf-
ficient to unsettle this market.
The most likely policy would be to
permit maturing certificates and bills
to run off and to accept cash pay
ments for a portion of them and, per-
haps, reinvest the remainder in long
er notes. In fact, this would seem to
be the program now in operation. In
the past four weeks the Federal
Reserves holdings Of certificates
and bills have decreased $90, 0,000,-
900, while there has been an increase
of over $1O0,0O0,000 in Treasury. notes.
Meanwhile the item of Government.
bonds has remained unchanged, though
it is $14,00o,O00 less than at the end
of June.

not varied that percentage during the
depression. They are not likely to vary
greatly during the better days to come.
They are an absolute indispensable part
of our prosperity and the machinery
which facilitates them in the Govern
ment, and the cooperation which sup
ports them in the foreign trade profess
sion itself, should be kept up to stand
ard during the trying days still to come.
Then the wisdom Of maintaining our

After two months of operation, the
check tax is proving harmful to banks
in many sections, and not worth what
1t costs, according to opinions being
received from bankers in various parts
Of the country by the American
Banker.
For instance, a North Dakota bank
er declared in this banking publication
last week that he had aScertained that
the check tax had taken per cent
of his deposits" From Indiana came
a similar letter saying that bank there
had experienced similar loss, and that
men who used to carry around SIS in
their pockets are now carrying SIS and
paying in cash"
other banking opinions support these
comments, says the American Banker,
which declares that the tax, which was
estimated to raise possibly S78,000,00
to the United States Treasury, will re-
turn only a fraction Of that sum.
Bankers also complain about the cost
of collecting the tax.
