DECISION IN RAIL
COMBINE PRAISED
Eastern Carrier Merger Con-
Sidered Beneficial Step
in Transport Field.
BY CHAS. P. SHAEFFER.


Opinion prevails in railroad circles In
Washington that the recent decision Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
allocating Eastern carriers into four
systems is the bright spot of the rail
picture.
The commissions decision followed in
substantial measure the suggestions Of
railway executives at many conferences
with it, even to the principle that the
public's interest would be served best
by four-System combine than by five.
In discussing the decision. the Chesa-
peake 6y Ohio points out that one
aspect of the situation, as 1t applies to
the public, should be born in mind in
reviewing the plan. The commissions
decision consolidates nothing whatever.
this carrier points out. 1t does. 1t
added, two things-it accepts the prin-
ciple of four systems in the East instead
of five and it states how the commits
sion thinks the various roads should
be allocated to the four systems.
The ALLEGATIONS as the commission
has made them presume that such
apportionments would be In the public
interest, but every consolidation in
volved will require proof Of the public
interest and showing that the terms
ana CondltlonS proposed are just ana
reasonable.
The carriers involved expect some
objections when the proposal reaches
the stage of public hearings. 1t is not
conceivable. they point out, tEst any
great project can be carried through
without objection from some source.
These objections may be well grounded
or they may be the objections Of selfish
| interest they say. 50
The corner stone of the consolidation
plan is the public interest. The trans
portation law contemplated that the
railroads should be consolidated into
an efficient number Of systems not only
for transportation reasons and for eco
nomic reasons, but ior the national
defense as we'll.
1t is firmly believed by the railroad
| fraternity that proper consultations
can contribute much toward keeping
| the steam carriers in healthy, pros
porous condition, ready for any
emergency.

OPERATING EXPENSES
ARE SHARPLY REDUCED

BY the Associated Press.
Operating expenses of Is highly eff
cient wholesale houses analyzed by the
National Wholesale Grocers' Associa-
ton averaged only 70 per cent for
service wholesalers, 62 per cent for
affiliated wholesalers, 36 per cent for
cash and carry houses and 3.5 per cent
for cooperative organizations.
The house with the lowest cost was
operating on margin of 2.5 per cent
of sales, while the highest cost for any
wholesaler included was 9.6 per cent.
Total sales for the entire group amoun-
ed to slightly more than $50,00O,0OO in
1880.
The report stated that these excel
lent records resulted largely from sys-
tematic control of the cultivation of
accounts, thorough familiarity with
the profitableness or lack of it of in
dividual accounts and careful attempts
to increase the size of the retailers Or
der for all types of products.

RECOVERY IN BOND
MARKET EXTENDED
Numerous High-Grade and
Junior Securities Gain
2 to 3 Points.
BY HI. RICHARDSON.
nisnatch 10 The Star

Special Dispatch to The star
NEW YORK. August 20.-The bond
market gained momentum in its upward
course today. with many hlgh-grade ana
Junior issues closing to points higher
en- the day. Trading was in heavy vol
ume.
The market opened with reactionary
tone, but after the usual accumulation
of overnight orders had been disposed
of offerings dried up and buyers had to
move their BIDS higher to get bonds.
The high-grade railroad and utility
groups have both crossed their former
high levels for 1882, and there is con-
siderable volume of bank buying in the
market. Nervousness the financial COM
munity may have had over the impend-
ing publication of loans made by the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation has
been offset by the aggressive manner in
which Baltimore bank was helped out.
Bankers now feel more confident in
ties in place Of the low-yield, short-tern
paper they have favored for so long.
There is limited supply of really
prime bonds. such as American Tele-
phone SIS, Consolidated Gas 512s, Atchi-
son General Is. Norfolk g. Western Is,
General Motors Acceptance IS and
Standard Oil of New Jersey 5s.
The immediate effect of brisk de-
man6 for these was to drive them to
21s points higher into new high ground
for 1882. Buyers then turned their
attention to issues once ranked in the
highest class, but which for various
reasons have dropped below levels COM
mensurate with such a rating in the
past year. Gains of to points were
the result in such issues as Baltimore
g. Ohio Alps of 1888, Great Northern
Is, Illinois Central refunding SIS, Met
ropolitan Edison IS, New Jersey Power
4l2s, Peoples Gas SIS and Southern
Pacific, Oregon Lines, AIS.
In junior bonds sharp gains were
recorded in Erie general lien As, Mis-
souri, Pacific SIS, American & Foreign
Power IS, International Telephone SIS,
Dodge Brothers 6s and Sinclair Oil rs.
New York City fractions were carried
higher. United States Government
bonds were firm in light trading.
The new capital market was quiet
About Sl5000,o00 of new municipal
bonds are expected next week and
there Is likely to be an offering Of S.
900 900 Dayton Power g. Light first 5S.

'CURB STOCKS GAIN
IN QUIET TRADING
Gains of Fractions to TWO
Points Scattered Through
the List.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 2o.-Stocks
worked quietly higher today on the Curb
Exchange. Trading was at steady
though slow pace. There was no VOL
ume of offerings hanging over the mar
ket and a moderate amount of buying
pushed prices y to 2 points higher.
The market opened narrowly lower
on an accumulation of selling orders
overnight based on heaviness in COM
modities and market fears that publi-
cation of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation loans might cause some
unfavorable reaction. This selling was
readily absorbed, however. and Wall
Street turned its attention to individual
reports.
National Power & Light brought out
an excellent balance sheet and the pre-
ferred stocks moved up fractionally.
Electric Bond & Share was in demand
on reports that third-quarter reports
will indicate an uptrend. The stock
was turned over in fair volume just
under its previous close and then in the
last hour 1t flrred up.
The firmness in utilities extended to
