Prediction of Better Railway
Traffic Proves Aid to
Market.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


NEW YORK, July 2O.-Putting the
best possible construction on the days
news, stocks registered moderate ad-
Vances today, closing at the best.
The Prusian News was reflected In
weakness in German dollar bonds, but
otherwise the foreign dispatches had no
effect on the American markets. Rail
road stocks shared in the general I'M
proVement. The railway executives,
meeting in this city, gave out a state
ment summarizing conditions in the
industry with which all are familiar
and which the market in any other
mood might have interpreted unfayor-
ably.
One influence that operated to Gre
ate more cheerful atmosphere was
the prediction Of better railway traffic.
prediction which the statistics to
date have not supported. However, the
crop outlook was stressed as a reason
for expecting larger shipments and bet
ter earnings. Something was expected
also from the meeting currently held in
this city of the railway executives. pre-
sumably in the way of new economy
and cooperative measures.
Corporation reports coming TO hand
Weer at least no worse than expected
The sharp falling off in General Elec-
trlc orders, revealed in the six months
statement. had been discounted mar
ketwise and the stock was steady. The
street regarded it as no mean achieve
ment to cover dividends with opera
tlonS at so low rate. National Bis
cult and Corn Products improved after
their quarterly reports had appeared
The Iron Age had little tangible on
which to found optimism. but con-
tinued to express hope of real improve
ment for the steel trade in the Fall.
United States Steel common was frac-
tionally higher during the early trading
and the preferred up point. Traders.
however, were not so sure about no
reduction being made in the preferrc
dividend at the next meeting
contented themselves today with say.
that if cut were made. say 70
basis, it had been discounted in the
of course, no intimation whatever as
to their course from the U. S. Steel
Corporation directors.
All the railway stocks were higher,
with gains running to as much as 3
points in Delaware & Hudson. which
Il normally a fast mover. Strength
was displayed by UniCn Pacific, Atchi-
sor and Illinois Central Shorts in
Allied Chemical, American Can. Ameri-
can Telephone. J. I. Case and Coca
Cola INDUCED in a little precautionary
covering, although the prices were not
up very much. Estimates were broad
cast that Coca Cola would show much
higher earnings in the second quarter
than in the first three months Of the
year.
The mining, the tobacco. and the
local traction stocks continued strong.
Noranda was the leader in the first
named group. American Tobacco in the
second and Brooklyn Manhattan in the
third. 1t was considered significant Of
the attitude of the professional element
toward the market that stocks with
a good story" could be marked up re-
gardless of the rest of the list. The
continued strength in bonds was a
persuasive argument in favor of the
buying side in stocks.

eringS like cryStal-clear glass; they are
an animated geometry of forms more
varied than the tracery in the palace
of Haroun- RaSchid.
AS the sun slowly rises toward its
zenith in the Spring, these light
lovers are born by the billions, seizing
light, seizing carbon, hydrogen and oxy-
gen from the sea, converting them into
starcheS, sugars, fats; seizing nitrogen,
sulphur, phosphorous iron iodine, man
ganese and so on to make still more
complex compounds; seizing silicon, cal
cium, Strontium to build fairylike shells
and skeletons.
In this paSturage swim shoals of fish
adapted to live on plankton-members
of the herring family, for> instance.
BluefiSh, weakfish and other large fish,
again, live on the plankton eaters Mean
while, myriads of plankton, dying, sink
slowly to the bottom like thick sea-
dust, to become food for musSels, seal
lops, conchs, which in turn are hunted
and harried by crabs, Holsters, cod and
the other bottom feeders.
Why is the liver of a Goldfish rich in
vitamins? They come from plankton
plants, which manufacture vitamins by
the aid of sunlight. The cod stores
them in his liver much as a human
being stores iodine in his thyroid gland
or insulin in his pancreas.
But vitamins are only one of the
vital elements stored richly in seafood,"
said Harden Taylor.
"On the leading edge of the science
of nutrition there is fringe of chem
ical substances that is only now begin
ming to be understood. For example
the human body contains thousandth
of per cent each of aluminium, silicon,
manganese, and traces have been found
of arsenic, boron, caesium, chromium.

Empire State Building, uptown, sticks

Harden Taylor leans back in his chair
and talks fish science and sea philoso-
ply. Office, river, tower disappear.
There seems to be heaving, green, mys-
teriouS ocean everywhere. Mother of
monsters more monstrouS than any
thing ever seen on land Mother of tiny
creatures as lovely as microscopic jewels.
In the chemical sea soup these creatures
propagate by billions, slay and are slain,
eat and are eaten. Murder is the law;
no fish expects to die quietly in bed. Yet
some mysterious beneficent balance
keeps life teeming.
Consider the potential riches of the
sea first from the standpoint of human
food. The world eats, roughly, 30 OOO,-
10000 pounds of seafood q year-15
pounds for each person, bit over
pound a month"; very small amount
compared with the total we might get
from the sea. Yet seafood is probably
the most economical of all the foods
available to men,"
He went on to tell about the cycle OF
life and death in the sea. 1t is sunlight,
in the final analysis, that feeds all us
land creatures. Through complex and
most interesting chemistry, plants utilize
light to manufacture starches and
sugars. Animals eat the plants. We eat
both the animals and the plants. Light
is the ultimate food provider.
1t is the same in the sea. That chem

THE farmers strike staged In the States
around Iowa is by no means q new activity
upon the part of agriculturists who feel that
the return they receive for their products is
below what they should receive.
Perhaps the most famous of the strikes"
and one which was the making of the first
really big cooperative movement among farm
ers was the so-called milk strike In 1919 which
cut of a large part of New York City's milk
supply for seriod Of 1e days.
This strike was the protest of the dairymen
in the New York milk shed, which includes
farms in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Pennsylvania. The greater part of the
milk, of course, comes from upstate In New
York and it was this supply which was seriously
curtailed as the result OF the strike.
After all negotiations had failed to produce
contract which the farmer could agree upon,
the farmers. who were banded together in the
Dairymen's League served notice on the Milk
be delivered until the price would reach
level which would permit a profit. The dis
tributors were adamant in their stand. how
ever, and the farmers stopped delivering milk
to the country milk stations. They had ex-
pected that the strike would not require more
than two or three days, but as it stretched on
into the second week and then the third they
were forced to dry up their COWS because they
could not dispose of their milk and the ex-
pense of feeding producing herds was tre-
mendous
In the meantime the dealers in the city

was produced in farms living up to the sanitary

requirements Of the Board of Health. As
result, after 19 days of strike during which
the producers dumped their milk in the fields,
an agreement was signed. The unfortunate
result however, was that herds once dried up
cannot again be brought back to heavy pro-
duction and the loss for the year was terrific.
The farmers had learned their lesson and
when it came time for the next strike against
the distributors the farmers were better pre-
pared. They had their own manufacturing
plants to which they could ship milk for manu-
facture into condensed and evaporated milk,
butter and cheese. They were then in a posi-
ton to take care of the milk during any period
of overproduction either through heavy flow
of milk or a strike. The result has been that
from that point on the dairy farmer living
within the territory covered by the league has
been able to force a price for his raw milk
which Is relatively much higher than the prices
before this first successful milk strike was put
over.

Chief Engineer Prince, at
Rate Hearing, Describes
Necessity of Steps.

The telephone rate hearing before the
Public Utilities Commission continued
to move slowly along today as the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co.
introduced evidence through It's chief
engineer, Roy w. Prince, on the engi-
neering necessity Of purchasing land
in advance of its use.
Mr.. Prince was introduced in order
to combat a deduction made by Thomas
r. Tate, engineer for the Public Utili-
ties Commission, in his valuation OF
lands of the telephone company for
land not now in use, although owned
by the company.
Only $4,000 Involved.
It is said that there is not a large
amount involved, some S120,000 in all,
and that the commission Is willing to
allow the unused land to be included
If the telephone company can show
that Tate was in error.
MIR. Prince said that the land IS
bought usually some time in advance OF
its being used, after engineering studies
have indicated the wire center" OF the
territory where 1t is planned to put up
a new telephone exchange.
Speaking particularly of the Cleve-
land Emerson exchange, at Fortieth
street and Wisconsin avenue, he showed
that the land bought there exceeded
the original needs. but that more Of it
was used when the company changed
from the manual to the dial system of
operating that exchange. and that a
large duct conveying telephone wires

duct Is not visible above the surface.
Similar testimony was given with re-
spect to other lands of the company. in
order to show the necessity for their
acquisition and their usefulness as tele-
phone property.
