BY LEGAL BREWING
Baltimore Exchange Reports Huge
Gain in Malt Receipts at
Doubled Prices.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October THAT the
legalization of 3.2 beer has greatly
benefited farmers is shown in the
monthly report of the Grain Exchange
of Baltimore just issued, which shows
receipts of malt, the principal in
gredient in the brewing Of beer, last
month totaled 117,864 bushels, COM
pared with only 1896 bushels in Sep
tember. 1882.
The price Of malt also practically has
doubled within the same period, stand
ard malt selling on the Baltimore mar
ket today at $125 per bushel, choice,
S130, and fancy, $1.35, compared with
an average price of 73 cents bushel
at this time last year.
With only six breweries now operat-
ing out Of over a score. which have
been Incorporated in Maryland and get
ting ready to start. it can be readily
seen what the demand will be not only
for malt, but for other grains which
enter into the brewing Of beer when the
rest Of the breweries, which are en-
gagged In building new plants Or remod-
cling old breweries, start business.

EASTERN CARRIERS FIRM
AGAINST CUT in FARES
Passenger Traffic Brings in Larger Share
of Total Income Than for
Western Railways.

Between Aprfi and September the
net operating income Of the railroads
each month was not only greater than
in 1892 but in excess of the same
period In 1881. This return was possible
in spite of considerably smaller car
loadings in the four months this year
than in 1881 by reason Of close operat
ing policies. which included deferring
as much maintenance Of track and
equipment as acould be done without
injury to property or involving safety
of passengers.
Adjusting maiptenances to normal
standards will involve large annual eX-
penditures by the carriers for period
of years after the expected recovery in
business takes place.
To the surprise Of many and the
satisfaction of its thousands of stock
holders, the Pennsylvania Railroad
paid a dividend last March of so cents
a share. This maintained the record
for paying dividends each year since
1847. In the first six months of 1888
the road earned 80 cents share. but
in the month OF August alone it did
nearly as well as in the entire first
half Of the year. So it is fair as
sumption that another dividend will be
paid next Winter and that the divi-
dend record will remain undisturbed.

A. & P. co. is OPPOSED
TO PAY CUT IN CODE

Application Of wage provisions in the
proposed grocery code would reduce by
$19,000,000 yearly. the total pay rolls
of the Great Atlantic &, Pacific Tea Co.,
Frank w. Wheeler, representative of
that company, testified at an N. R. A.
hearing.
Mr.. Wheeler stated that proposals
under consideration would reduce 'men
in responsible positions" to wage level
inconsistent with their usefulness. He
advocated $35 week for employees In
a managerial capacity. The code pro-
poses rate of s25 to $50 for this type
Of employe.
"Under the temporary food code in
operation since August /, this company
has increased its annual pay roll over
$10,000,000," Mr.. Wheeler said. Under
the present proposal the company's
pay roll would not only be decreased by
this amount but by 100000 besides, !"

u. S. GOLD BACKING
TOTALS rs PER CENT
High Ratio Cited as Answer to
"Unsound Money" Charges
Against Nation.
BY the Associated Press.


A currency backed by IS per cent
gold Is the answer Federal Reserve Bank
statistics gives to those who hurl "un-
sound money" charges at the United
States.
The weekly condition statement of the
Reserve banks shows that on October
4 the total gold reserves of these insti-
tutions amounted to $3,591, ,785, 900. At
the same time these institutions had
total deposits of $2.780, ,150, 900 which
require backing Of IS per cent in gold
Thus, this requirement would amount
to $973, ,052. 500, leaving total gold re-
serves Of $2,418, 1872 500 remaining.
As against this amount, the daily
Treasury statement as Of October 8
showed q total of $3,233, 1873 ,905 in
Federal Reserve notes either In circu-
lation or held by the issuing banks
collateralled by the balance of $2,418,-
1872 500 in gold reserves.
The total gold stocks of the United
States as of October 4 was reported by
the Reserve Board as $4.324, ,000, 900.
The above calculations do not include
$160, ,789 900 in new currency authorized
by provisions Of the emergency banking
bill which was outstanding on October
4. These require no gold backing.
On October 4 the ratio Of total gold

NEW YORK, October 7 (N.AN.A).-
The reluctance of number OF the
Eastern railroads to bring their pas
senger fares down to the two-cents-a-
mile level proposed by the lines west
of the Mississippi River Is easily under
stood after analyzing the percentage
that passenger revenues hold to the
total gross receipts Of lines In the
East.
The resistance Of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford to the extreme cut
in rates proposed is due to the fact
that about one third of all its revenues
is from the passenger business The
New York Central receives about %
per cent of its earnings from pas
sengers, the Pennsylvania over 20 per
cent and its subsidiary, the Long
Island, 10 per cent. The Baltimore &
Ohio earns less than 10 per cent gross
from passengers and Southern Railway
II per cent
The Great Northern, which has re-
ported increased passenger traffic since
it lowered its fare basis, has a ratio
Of only about per cent passenger
earnings to total revenues. and even
the Atchison's passenger receipts are
cnly II per cent of all its operating
income
