BANK CLEARINGS OFF
AS HOLIDAY INTERVENES

b. the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 15.-With the
holiday intervening, banking operations
for the five days this week were
naturally considerably smaller in volume
than the heavy settlements for the first
week of the month and were also very
much less than those of a year ago
Total clearings this week for all leading
cities in the United States, as reported
to Dun's Review, were So, $50, ,292 900, a
loss of AIS per cent, compared with last
year. At New York City, clearings
amounted to $2,167 ,207,00O and were
51.0 per cent less than year ago, while
for the cities outside of New York, the
total was s1,186, OBS, 900 or 1872 per cent
smaller
The losses were again very heavy at
the larger centers. including among
| others, New York, Boston, Chicago and
Detroit. Little indication of improve
ment is to be noted in this weeks re-
turn at any of the cities. At this time
last year, banking operations were con-
siderably above those of the earlier
months Quite a reduction, however,
appeared in the later weeks of that year.
The average daily figures so far for
October continue above those of the
three months preceding.

OIL FIRM REFUSES
TO ADVANCE PRICES
Standard of Indiana Declares
Supply of Crude Still Ex-
ceeds the Demand.
BY the Associated Press.
rUTr notahar

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 15-The Stand
ard Oil Co. of Indiana has issued a
statement announcing the company can
not advance its posted prices for crude
oil despite the recent action of certain
other companies"
Conditions do not warrant even the
present prices. and will not give neces-
sary support to an increase the state
ment said.
Every one in the industry knows that
with consumption of gasoline falling of
enormously, price cutting is rampant
throughout the oil business. Although
producers are making commendable
efforts to control their problems, crude
still is being produced in excess OF
demand.
Some of it is being run Illegally and
sold at prices jeopardizing the posted
price structure. Refineries are produc-
ing more gasoline than is needed. Many
are dumping at cut prices.
The Indiana company is sincerely
desirous of seeing producers receive a
satisfactory price for crude. But it is
convinced an advance in the face OF
present conditions would simply pro-
vide leeway for further abuses and delay
progress toward permanent recovery"
The statement also said gasoline tax
evaders we're running retail markets in
some areas.

ASPHALT COMPANIES
MAY BUY OIL ABROAD
Foreign Product Is Declared Best
for Use in Producing
Paving Material.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE. October 15-Because
foreign crude oil is best for refining into
asphalt. the two companies which pro-
duce this product in Baltimore probably
will be forced to again start importa-
ton of such oil within the next two
months. according to officials of the
concerns
The importation of crude oil and
gasoline from foreign countries has been
practically non-exiStent since the excise
tax imposed by Congress went into ef-
feet on June 81. In July slightly more
than 81 900 barrels of crude and about
1000 barrels of gasoline were brought
into the port. In August no crude at
all come here from foreign ports and
the amount in September was negligible.
A survey has indicated that the fall
ing off was brought about by an in
creased storage of oil before the tax
became effective. this storage allowing
the refiners to continue operations with
out fresh imports.
But the supply is diminishing, and
importations will have to begin again,
1t is said.
Another angle of the situation, sug-
gested by an official Of an oil company
which brings domestic oil into Balti-
more, is a possible oversupply of gaso-
line in the United States as result of
the necessity for refining domestic crude
oil into fuel oil. With importations OF
crude oil diminished by the tax, refiners
may possibly find it necessary to refine
the domestic crude oil solely to obtain
fuel OIL

A. T. & T. EARNS S5.92
A SHARE IN 9 MONTHS
Deficit of $15,422,s62 Reported
After Payment of Dividends
Up to September 30.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. October I5.-The
American Telephone g. Telegraph Co
reported for the nine months ended
September 80 net income of Sl10541.-
623. equivalent to S592 a share on the
outstanding capital stock. This COM
pares with sl28,529 $50 in the corre-
spending period Of 1881, which was
equal to SOL a share.
After payment of dividends for the
period the company had a deficit of
1922 1862, compared with a balance
Of $685., ,671 after dividends in the
1881 period. Total income for the pc
riod, including dividends received from
the associated Bell companies. interest
and telephone operating revenues,
amounted to S19l,8l9358, against S2l9,-
055,457 in the like period of last year.
On the basis of the net income re-
ported for the nine months, the COM
pany earned S190 a share on the out
standing stock for the quarter ended
September 80, compared with Sl95 a
share in the June quarter and S207
share in the March quarter
In statement accompanying the re-
port Walter S. Clifford, president said:
There has been gradual increase
in new telephones connected and a
slowing up of telephones disconnected
during recent weeks There was a net
loss for September of 10000 telephones.
which is materially below that for any
month since April, and about one-third
of the net loss of 1000 for July. The
100000 Bell-owned telephones now
in service are about 10 per cent below
the maximum development, a point
reached in 1890.
While the company shows earnings
OF S5-92 per share in the first nine
months of 1882, dividends received from
associated companies of S103, 3,414238, as
shown IN the statement, were not
fully earned by those companies during
the nine months by about $4,000 O00."

CHECK ON OIL FLOW
IS HELD FEASIBLE
Interior Department Advised
That Gas Production Can
Also Be Regulated.
By the Associated Press.

Dy tHc ASSOCldleQ FIeSS.
The Interior Department has been
advised that regulation Of the pro-
duction of oil and gas through inter-
state cooperation, if there is a will
toward solution, can be accomplished
in matter of months.
This conclusion was reported to Sec
retary Wilbur by Northcutt Ely, his exc
cutive assistant, who is chairman of the
Technical and Advisory Committee of
the Federal Oil Conservation Board. on
his return from a conference Of the pc
troleum division Of the American In
Stitute of Mining and Metallurgical En-
gineers at Ponca City. Okla.
Mr.. Ely outlined the program dis
cuSsed by the engineers as being
simple agreement, to be first authorized
by Congress, whereby each State would
undertake to enforce by its own agen-
cies production quota based on studies
of supply and demand to be made by an
interstate advisory body to be created
by the compact. The United States, he
said, would enforce similar quota
against importationS.
Periodic estimates, much like the
oil boards present forecasts, Mr.. Ely
believes, would require Federal partici-
patton for the protection of consuming
States. Fifty-seven interstate compacts
have been authorized in the past and
the method was said to be well tested
Under such compact the oil States
would be allowed collectively to exer-
clSc their police power in trust tor q
Nation which must protect its oil and
gas from wasteful depletion, he said. but
which does not have the police power
necessary TO restrain the flush fields
which occasion the waste. Such an
interstate compact would add no new
, laws, he said, but would pledge the
States to use this existing machinery
in unison under common plan, subject
to Federal approval and cooperation to
control imports.

STOCKS ARE FIRM
At SHORT SESSION
Price Changes Are Few in
Small Market at
Week End.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 15.-L.ght
trading and firm prices characterized
today's week end operations on the
Stock Exchange.
In the main the gains of Friday were
held. There was remarkably little
proflt-taking after that almost spec
tacular advance. On the other hand,
there was little further covering, and
this was done very leisurely. The re-
suit was narrow price changes.
The market opened higher and ad-
vanced for a half hour or So but the
rise was checked by the appearance of
the weekly carloadings statement.
Although the percentage decline from
the same period year ago was the
smallest for any week in 1882 and the
total was higher than in any other
week this year to date, the Street had
been expecting larger increase in
actual loadingS. These were up 1861
cars. whereas the more optimistic had
been predicting increases all the way
up to 10000 cars.
Railway stocks, which had been a
point or two higher during the early
trading, reacted to around the pre-
vious close. At that level they met
support. Norfolk g. Western was strong
but that is in a class by itself. An
other railway stock which attracted
attention for It's steadiness was Ca
madam Pacific, buying in which was
said to be coming from Montreal and
London.
The quarterly earnings statement OF
American Telephone. published over
night, was in line with expectations. The
stock held within a range of point
or two. There is believed to be large
short interest in telephone still out
standing, while holders Of real stock
are not disposed to liquidate pending
the next dividend meeting. Even
should the rate be reduced, and that
is not at all certain, the stock has
discounted something of cut In the
price.
Merchandising stocks ranged higher
Safeway Stores was up point or two
Its sales statement for the four weeks
ending october showed a turnover
Of $l7,2l9,692 compared with sl6,820,
sos in the previous four weeks. Kroger
Grocery &, Baking reported a decline
in sales Of 9.3 per cent for the -four
weeks ending october g. compared with
that period year ago, but for the forty
weeks of the calendar year the CORE
spending decline was 1876 per cent
making the showing favorable in this
particular.
United States Steel common was well
supported. The preferred was up 2
points at one time, but reacted later
Youngstown Steel district operations
were estimated at 20 per cent of ca
pacity for next week Public Service
Of New Jersey was one of the strong
utilities, probably also rejecting an

Now We see the average OF railroad

operations on the mend. Car loadings
have been steadily rising. A few Of the

ticker says that the outlook for the

its ear to the tune of this mechanical
guide rather than to the words of men
who know what they are talking about
when they discuss railroad affairs.
The inherent weakness of Wall Street,
and the one that frequently condemns
its Judgment and appraisal of domestic
and international affairs, is that it in
variably exaggerateS the importance of
day-to-day stock market fluctuations.
Its tendency Is too much toward trading
and too little toward investment.
1t takes a short term position when
it should be adopting, after careful in
vestigation, one that extended over a
long period Of time. Consequently it
becomes over-elated for a While and
preston, even though the outward evil
dence of bunSiness affairs have, mean
while, changed but little. 1t is
hypnotized by the record of the tape
Speculative Influence.
As has been frequently stated, it is an
error to say that the ticker tells the
story" More often the ticker inter
prets conditions inaccurately and leads
those within its hearing astray. They
would follow a more profitable course
if they adhered to the judgment that
they had established in independent
Investigations 1t has long been tradi-
ton that Wall Street is the point where
the pulse of the business of the country
should be taken. 1t is doubtful if this
also will bear the test of analysis
Wherever the speculative influence pre-.
dominates, the facts in a given situa.
ton will be too highly colored to bt
acceptable to wise men as a basis fol
their business judgment. Those who
are familiar with Wall Street are con-
scious of the fact that the speculative
instinct finds its expression and is con-
centrated there more year by year anc
/ that relatively it reflects less and les;

NEW YORK, October 15.-Abrupt

view on securities is typical Of the in
constancy Of opinion in. the financial
district.
Brokers and their customers lean over
the ticker or watch quotation boards
From what they see there they form
their judgment of the trend of events
all over the world. When stocks and
bonds are going up, their imaginations
are keyed to developments that no one
else can perceive. When they are going
down they can discover more posi-
bilities for destructive elements than
all combined groups of individuals can
conceive.
Take. for instance. the attitude of
Wall Street early this week. 1t was

But the actual facts in the business
situation were considerably better than

be violated but that future quotations

common acceptance, the market had

Railroad Stocks.

a few weeks to recall that these same
persons had been emphatic in their
statements that stocks were cheap even
after an average rise of 100 per cent in

1t has been in the railroad group that
the vacillating opinion on values has
