By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 29.-Owners of
corner business properties. who rode
cheerfully through the earlier phases Of
the current depression, are now casting
an apprehensive eye on chain-store re-
ceiverships.
One of these receiverships, that of
the United Cigar Stores Co. of America,
has been followed by widespread cancel
ing with court approval of leases en-
store sites which. with reduced sales
volume, were said 10 be no longer profit
able, on the basis of the leases.
A warning cry has been sounded by
the National Association CT Real Estate
Boards. which sees in the recent large
scale cancellations lone of the gravest
emergencies" faced by owners of bust
ness properties. Steps are now being
taken to organize the landlords against
further lease Scuttling.
Efforts at compromise, in preference
to seeking aid under sanction of the
courts. have been tried in some cases.
The Louis K. Liggett Co., one of the
principal subsidiaries of Drug, Inc, op-
Grating a chain of so stores, recently
sent letters to its numerous landlords
insisting upon reduction in rentals.
The company threatened to reorganize
in case the landlords would not scale
down rents. Replies to these letters are
now being studied.
The United Cigar Stores Co., with ap-
prcximately 5000 stores under lease at
the start of the year, now in receiver

BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, October 29-Much sat-
isfaction is being expressed in railroad
and banking circles over the definite
turn in railroad earnings for the month
OF September and the substantial gain
in October car loadings.
While this betterment has had little
effect on either railroad stocks or junior
bonds of the carriers, it is expected
to reduce borrowings of the railroads
from the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration for the rest of the year to a
minimum. except as loans are requested
for the purpose of repairing equipment.
Concretely, a change in the earnings
situation in September is shown in the
smallest loss in operating income, COM
pared with the same month in 1881, for
this year. 1t amounts to less than 10
per cent as against over At per cent
in August and more than 10 per cent
in some of the earlier months of 1882.
The control of operating expenses has
been more visible in an analysis of
the September reports than heretofore.
Gross Earnings Unfavorable.
Gross earnings for the most part in
September were extremely unfavorable,
as the gain in car loadings, resulting
llOlil d 1dl Stl VI oOll IOdl
and of general merchandise, did not
begin to appear until the middle of
that month. The momentum oft has
increased rapidly during October. 1t
was reported today that. due to eX-
panding loadings, the st. Louis-San
Francisco Railway is Immediately plac-
ing three new freight trains in opera
ton out of st. Louis.
Some of the distinctive reports for
September are those of the New York
Central. Chicago. Milwaukee & St.
Paul, Illinois Central, Lehigh Valley,
Norfolk & Western. Ontario & Western,
Texas & Pacific, Bangor &, Aroostook
Reading and Central Railroad of New
Jersey The New York Central lines
had an increase last month of so per
cent in net operating income, although
gross earnings Of the system decreased
over $7,000,000 Operating income of
the Illinois Central more than doubled
during the month. Even more striking
is its reported income for the nine
months of the year Of So ,604, COM
pared with Sc 6694 .433 in 1881. This is
cre of the few systems showing larger
amount available for its fixed charges
this year than in the corresponding
cerlOd a wear ago

.UPTURN IN RAILWAY EARNINGS
PROVES ENCOURAGING FACTOR
Most Carriers Have Shown Improvement
in Business During September and
October-Borrowings May Decline.

The Central Railroad Of New Jersey
more than doubled its operating income
in September. compared with Septem-
ber, 1881. The Lehigh Valley, whose
gross loss was relatively small. gained
over 40 per cent in net. The New York,
Ontario g. Western increased net over
20 per cent and the Reading about 7
per cent. The Reading. like the Illi-
nois Central, has been able to save
enough in spite Of a S15,000,000 gross
loss in the last nine months to expand
its operating income $2,900,000 or
nearly 10 per cent. The Wabash, in
receivership, had a net operating in
ocme. in September of about $3.50 900.
compared with a deficit a year ago of
S333,657. while the Seaboard Air Line,
also bankrupt road. showed an oppo-
site tendency, with an operat ting deficit
last month and small net profit in
1881.
Other Reports.
Roads that did not make as good
showing in September as those above
reported were the Southern Pacific.
whose net operating income decreased
about As per cent: the ST. Louis-San
Francisco which had a deficit after
charges for the month of S563,471 and
for the nine months a deficit of ST.
879, ,594, and the Great Northern, Rock
Island, Burlington and Baltimore &,
Ohio. Net income for nine months of
the Burlington was off nearly slO,OOO.-
600. which will have an important
bearing on the dividend action to be
taken early in December.
The Bangor g. ArooStook reported
earnings for nine months equal to S3.l3
share on the common stock. or more
than double the amount in the same
period of 1881. The Norfolk & Western
is expected to earn this year in excess
of the present dividend of SO share
on its common stock. The Chesapeake
& Ohio will also earn a slight margin
over the $3.50 share rate on its COM
mon.
An illustration Of the degree to
which railroad traffic has been affected
by the business depression is given in
the earnings of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road system. Gross revenues for nine
months this year have decreased Sl02,
OOO,0O when compared with those of a
year ago and are $4,000, ,OO0 or about
As per cent, below those of the first
nine months of 1890 In spite of the
gross decrease Of over 100000. 900 this
year, the net operating income of the
system has dropped less than s10,0OO,-
600.

STOCKS ARE HEAVY

List Sells Off After Carload.
ings Statement Is Made
Public.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October %. - Stocks
closed the week heavy in another Ses-
sion Of lifeleSs trading. The rally in
progress yesterday was still in evidence
at the opening, but after the car load
ingS statement came out the gains were
Cancelled and prices yielded.
The traffic statement did not come up
to expectations. LoadingS for the week
ending October % were down 8,405 cars
from the previous week. Compared with
the same week year ago they showed
decrease of 16.5 per cent. whereas
the corresponding drop in the figures
given out last Saturday was 14.5 per
cent. 1t could not be said that the rail
stocks were weak. They simply sold
off on small volume, the decline repre-
Senting the evening up of accounts
rather than any real liquidation.
The rest of. the market followed the
lead of the rails more or less. In the
first hour relative strength was dis
played by American Telephone. Allied
Chemical. United States Steel common
and preferred and American Can
These, too Sagged subsequently.
Even stocks which had the benefit
of favorable earning statements were
slow to respond. The Canadian Pacific
in September increased its gross and
net over that month a year ago. but
the stock moved with the rest of the
market, disregarding the better show
ing. South Puerto Rico sugar achieved
a remarkable record in earning over
ESQ a share for its common stock in
the year ending September 30, period
covering the lowest prices in the history
of the sugar industry. The balance
sheet accompanying the income ac-
count revealed great strength, with cash
more than equal to all current liabilities.
However, the stock had discounted this
in the moderate advance of Friday and
only held steady.
One of the steadiest groups was that
including the metal shares. For this
there was no explanation in COM
modify prices, with copper around the
low of the reaction. However, there
was demand for Kennecott on every
setback, some of it said to be for
foreign account. Just why Europe
should be buying our copper stocks
under present conditions is a question
to which the Street had no ready an
swer. Oil stocks were well supported,
but inactive.
