CARRIER RALLY
HALTS BOND
DECLINE
BY MUNRoE ROBERTS

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 G.N.SO
Irregular rallying tendencies
in the rail group, following the
release of an Unexpectedly favor
able carloading report was the
outstanding feature in gen.
orally mixed bond market list
today.
The report put a halt to the
liquidation that had carried rail
liens lower in the first hour, but
was not sufficient to bring more
than a selected number of car
rier bonds into higher priced
territory.
Some Favored Issues.
Among the favored issues in
this group were the Nickel Plate
IS which were up 8 points at
4312, Nickel Plate 41as up p
point at 10; New York Central
4KaS new up at 4712, and
Baltimore g. Ohio Az of '33
which were up y point at 57h.
The United States Government
dist continued irregular, with slight
gains in Liberty 4th 414S, Treasury
3bS of Al. Treasury 33sS of '43,
and Treasury Is, offset by de.
clines in Liberty First 414s, Treas
ury IS, Treasury 31ss, Treasury
SAs, and Treasury 4As.
Little important change was
noted in the more active Of the
foreign government obligations.
InduStriaIS Irregular
Industrial corporation bonds
were irregular, with United Drug
SIS breaking two points to fur
ther new low at Sc. Hudson Coal
6s advanced one-half point to 4112.
A firm tone was again shown by
Rf1e better grade utility obligations
with fractional gains noted in Con-
Solidated Gas 5l2s and Columbia
Gas SIS.

PRICES STEADY.
FORF FOODS

Wholesale food prices for the
week ended October 18, reflected
slightly greater strength than in
the preceding week, states Brad
streets Weekly.
Although the seasonal tendency
is downward, the index remained
unchanged at $1.73, and after ad-
justment, advanced to SAT- per
cent of the 1928-30 average, as
compared with 54.5 last week and
679 last year.
Of the general list of 81 COM
modities on which prices are
quoted weekly, 8 advanced, II de-
clined and 81 remained un-
changed. This compares with 3,
81 an SO. respectively, as re-
corded last week.
Of the list of commodities,
other than foods, tin was the
only one to improve. Cotton,
cotton textiles, copper and rubber
showed exceptional weakness. AS
a whole, however, commodities
were relatively inactive.

ACTION Of RAILS

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK. Oct. % Q.N.SO
Wall Street had another case of
nerves yesterday and about every
speculator long of stocks threw
them out. Some added a few
shorts for good measure.
knowledge Of the General Mo-
tors report spread around in the
last hour and brought some more
pounding from the professional
element. AS it stands now, the
market is back on the spot again
and will have to dig in today or
Monday to prevent it from going
down quite a bit.
The market in addition has
some more worries, particularly
about dividends on U. S. Steel pre-
ferred and General Motors. The
belief still is that the former won't
be omitted but a bad market al
ways shakes confidence.
One interesting story around is
that the Steel board will pay the
dividend and at the same time an,
nounce bunch of rail business.
1t is generally admitted that a
push-up in Steel operations at this
time would give business generally
quite a stimulus. What every.
one is wondering about is where
the rails are going to get the
money. If U. S. Steel helps fl
nance the purchases, it will prob
ably be at the expense of the div
idend.
There is considerable specula.
ton whether General Motors in
cluded write-offS for new models
in its third-quarter report, as it
normally does. If so. the report
isn't as bad as it looks.
Action of the rails was the most
disappointing thing about the
whole market. Here, too, a lot
of the recent buying had been
for speculative account, due to
the new carloading gains, and
this stock was thrown out with
the others. 'TiS said some Eu.
ropean buying came into Union
Pacific on the decline. The road
is expected to come close to earn
ing its Sc dividend this year. Good
buying is reported in American
Can.

NEW YORK, Oct. % QNS),
The regulation requiring i'm
porters of steel to deposit bonds
before shipments are cleared
from customs was restored today

This followed a notice to the
Customs Bureau by F. J. Kracke,
appraiser, that he suspected
dumping in this port.
The original regulation was
imposed three weeks ago but was
suspended a few days later on
the protest of importers that the
tariff law had not been complied
with. as no notice had been filed
by an appraiser of suspected

District National Guard

ton Of the United States in the
matter.
Should the proposal be adopted by
Congress as one OF the means OF re-
ducing governmental appropriations, 1t
was pointed out that the members OF
the Guard would drill only every two
weeks. 1t is the belief that this will
materially lessen the training efficiency
Of the Guard, which is looked upon as
part OF the first line OF defense.
There are only few hours . month
for training now, but the cutting OF
the time to half would be quite serious
from training standpoint.
AS the officers and men receive a
days pay for each drill attended, 1t Is
realized that substantial sum would
be saved in the militia appropriation.
when the National Guard Of the whole
country is considered, but it is ques-
toned whether it would be profitable
to cut down the training period to such
an extent as has been proposed.
While the local Guard has no politi-
cal connections which can be used in
combating the plan, nevertheless it
was pointc out that those in the
States have representatives in Con-
gress, and these probably will be urged
to defeat the proposal. Aside from
cutting down the training, 1t has been
pointed out that the militiamen in the
various communities depend on their
drill pay checks as q means Of helping
out their incomes now, and that they
will not give up without a strenuous
fight to have the 48-drill plan, provided
in the national defense act, retained.
