Sue put down the telephone very
| quickly. She crossed the room,
poked the fire to a merrier blaze,
then sat down, crossed-legged, on a
Chinese red cushion.
"Now I can talk" she explained.
II didn't dare to, at first. I was
so furious. I guess you know
what happened. Corrinne got on
an extension and accused me of

that I never was in love with

him. He understood. And he
wasn't in love with me, either. He

Sues voice was rising like a
night wind coming up too quickly.
Now it broke and fell like some
shattered thing. Her hands were
grasping the tassels of the red
cushion and the veins stood out,
clear and blue.
"You need something for your
nerves." Ruth said, her practical
words coming as a relief in the
tense room. "I'll get something"
Sue sat very quietly while Ruth
ran upstairs. Time was passing
rapidly. There was no one else
from whom she could borrow the
money. Somehow. now that this
emotional storm had come, she
had lost sight of the train. She
knew that she couldn't go. Maybe
Jack wasn't so Ill.
BY tomorrow she would know II

She sank back on the cushion
When Ruth came down with the
| pill she was releaved. Something
tight and hard had been loosened
"I'm going to heat some milk.
Ruth said, still in a professional
voice. ut will soothe your nerves
I'll have 1t ready in minute"
When Ruth came in with the
milk, she pushed aside some tum-
bled locks Of hair and with 1t her
too professional manner.
"What do you want me to say

RAILWAYS PLAN
STEEL BUYING
CAMPAIGN

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 GN.SO.
A huge steel buying campaign by
major railroads of the country to-
day was a possibility which prom
ised to boom the steel industry in
the near future.
The prospect resulted from a
conference yesterday between
Myron c. Taylor, chairman of the
United States Steel Corporation,
and number of Eastern railroad
presidents.
Although great secrecy was
maintained regarding the discus
sion, it appeared likely that If the
railroads enter into large steel
purchases, the price on steel rails
may be cut from the basic rate of
$43 a ton, which has remained ef-
fective for more than 10 years.
Once the railroads decide upon
this buying movement, 1t was
pointed out, they would also be in
the market for other kinds of
steel. In turn. such a market
movement in steel would give rise
to buying from other quarters,
such as the automotive and con-
struction industries.

OHIO UTILITIES
WRITTEN Up

The value of securities Of eight
Ohio utility companies acquired
by the Logan Gas Company, an
old Ohio utility concern, was writ
ten up" $8,23S, 400 above their par
value in 1923, a Federal Trade
Commission examiners report dis
closed today.
This increase was carried as
surplus from property appraisal"
on the books of the Ohio Fuel
Corporation, which eventually
gained control of them, when the
latter was merged with the present
Columbia Gas and Electric Cor
poration, vast Ohio utility system.
The stock Of the eight utility
companies acquired by the Logan
company totaled 82,384 shares,
with a total par value Of $11 ,46l,-
900. The examiners report dis
closed the Logan company placed
a value of $19,700,000 on them.
Attorneys for the Columbia Gas
and Electric Corporation, which
had nothing to do with the Logan
company at the time, asserted the
"Write-up" was legitimate, in that
the value of the properties of the
eight utility companies had in
creased as a result of natural gas
development.

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 GN.S).
After refusing to go down all
week, stocks turned upward
sharply toward the close yester-
day.
Better business news, princi-
pally another rise in car loading6,
helped. While going through the
highs of a week ago, the market
is still in trading range.
Chart readers point out that
stocks have a lot of resistance
up to the 10 level on the indus
trial averages. Ability to pierce
this would suggest the possibility
of another good-sized move.
Growing Short Interest
Observers for some time have
been convinced that there was
a substantial and growing short
interest in the market.
The way stocks like Case
Threshing jumped between sales
yesterday tend to bear this out.
The total short interest may not
be large in the aggregate but it
is concentrated in the active
stocks.
On top of this is the fact trad
ing has been light and the market
thin, making it difficult to cover;
plus an important influence, that
liquidation is apparently over for
the time being.
The story is fairly widespread
that U. S. Steel will pay the pre-
ferred dividend at next weeks
This was accompanied

by the tip to buy the stock on
the report that most of the recent
selling in the stock under IS
had been for short account.
Rails Encouraging
The best thing about the mar
ket, though, is that the rails are
acting convincingly for the first
time in a couple of months, and
the rails still give the lest of them
the cue.
1t looks as though the market
had some real sponsorship again.

recorded earlier in the week.

Pressure Is Light
Trading continued dull, with
failure of early aggressive demand
to again develop, influencing scat
tered profit-taking by traders.
The was little concentrated
pressure to sell, however, with
brokerage houses generally dis
posed to look upon the recession
as but normal sequence to the
upturn which had preceded.
In the utility group, Electric
Bond and Share, which had shown
early firmneSs, sagged to 26A eor
a net loss of 1l2 points before
rallying. American Gas and Elec
trio sold off 11s points at 282s,
while steadineSs was the rule in
such low-priced issues as Ameri-
can Superpower, United Gas and
United Light and Power A.
PennrOad a Feature
A feature of the investment
trust list, was heavy selling of
Pennroad which sagged 3s to a
new low on the move at IA, as
an aftermath of the receivership
petition filed by stockholders
against the corporation yesterday.
Other investment trust issues
were steady.
Specialties were somewhat er-

within a fractional range.
Utility bonds turned moderately
