RAIL LOADINGS RISE
FURTHER IN WEEK
Less Than Car Lot Merchandise
Shows First Gain in Present
Upward Trend.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The American Railway Association
announced today that car loadings of
revenue freight for the week ended July
l we're. 634,074 cars, an increase OF
29,406 over the preceding week and
145, 1913 over 1882.
For the first time since car loadings
began to climb upward less than car
lot merchandise showed an increase
over the preceding week and the corre-
spending week last year.
Less than car-lot merchandise loaded
was I'll 1862 cars, an increase of 1,460
over the preceding week and 33l cars
over last year; miscellaneous freight,
236.201 cars, increase 4,235 and 53,805;
grain and grain products, 46,l23, in
crease 1892 and 1876; forest products,
28.119, increase 1856 and 12,702; ore,
17,413. increase 1881 and 1880; coal.
112,302, increase 10,287 and 45,269;
coke, 1890, increase 1,544 and 4,153,
and live stock, 1884 decrease of 1863
cars below the preceding week but an
increase of 1,707 cars over last year.
The showing of less than car lot
merchandise was interpreted here as
one of the most favorable indications
vet shown by car loadings. This type
of freight consists of small shipments
made from distributing houses in all
parts of the country to small mer-
chants and is the type of freight much
of which during recent years has been
hauled by truck.

COMMODITY PRICE
RISE IS CONTINUED
Government Report Reveals
Upturn Gained Momentum
N Recent Weeks.
By CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,


The upward movement Of commodity
ministration-Was said by the Depart
ment Of Commerce to have been &C
celerated during May and the first half
Of June.
THE rise" the department said, "has
derived some Of its momentum from
the continued contra-seasonal gains in
business activity, but the imitation pro-
gram Of the Government and its an
ticipated effects have been an important
influence"
While certain raw materials and
foodstuffs were said to have appre-
ciated to greater extent than the de-
cline In the foreign exchange value of
the dollar, the general level Of whole
sale prices has risen much less.
Gain in Index.
The index of wholesale prices In
creased 80 per cent since the low point
touched in early March, while the cost
of living rose slightly less than / per
cent from the April low point.
Widespread increases in both employ
ment and pay rolls were reported for
May and the upward trend was said
to have continued in June. Seventy
two out of 80 manufacturing industries
showed higher employment and 81
larger pay rolls in May than In April,
the department said
After adjustment for seasonal fac
tors" it added, "the index of factory
employment increased S per cent dur
ing May, the largest relative increase
for one month as far back as the index
is available G919).
Despite the recent betterment, the
adjusted index of factory employment
advanced In Nav Orly to the level of
last December and was "a per cent
below year ago.
The pay roll index advanced per
cent to the highest point since last Oc-
tober, and was 81 per cent below the
May. 1882, figures"
Available indexes Of consumer pur-
chasing were said to indicate for the
most part that goods sare not moving
into consumption as fast as they are
being produced"
Stocks Low.
"The rise in such industries as tex
tiles and tobacco manufacturing. the
department continued, 'is much too
large to be accounted for by any in
crease that may have occurred in con-
sumer purchasing to date
However, stocks of finished goods in
the hands Of distributors have been low
for considerable period and a more
active demand would require some up
building of such stocks
Foreign trade improved in May. con-
trary to the usual seasonal trend, the
department said, explaining the in
crease in exports was due mainly to
heavy shipments of cotton at higher
prices and increased imports to gains
IN wide range of commodities.

Court Justice Jennings Bailey yes

involved will not be known until the
case is submitted to an auditor, which
was ordered by the court.
The decision was in a suit brought
by Miss Calvin, a Washington woman,

Of the Highlands located at Connecti-
cut avenue and California street, by
Miss Calvin from George B. Bryan,

Trust Involved.
The Wardman interests had acquired
both properties from the Stilson Hutch
ms estate, and had given a blanket
second trust of $723,000 as deferred
EdSLlCl4I.
Miss Calvin's suit alleged that when
Bryan bought the Highlands and West
mo-eland he assumed this second trust,
but had an agreement with Waroman
that it would be split up so that there
would be only approximately $438,000
assumed by the purchaser of the High
lands.
This had not been done when Miss
Calvin purchased the Highlands Octo-
Der l, 1926 Accordingly, a three-party
agreement was entered into, Miss CAL
win claimed in her suit, by which she
was to convey the Highlands back to
Wardman and his associates in order
that the property might be reflnanced
and the blanket 100000 second mort
gage split into two parts. Then, it is
claimed, the Wardman interests were

Property Declared Never Returned.
The plaintiff told the court the prop
erty never was decided back to her as
agreed, and that in 1928, when the
Wardman Real Etate Properties, Inc,
f1oated an $11,0o0,oo0 bond issue the
Highlands was pledged as security along
with the Wardman Park Hotel, the
Carlton Hotel and numerous other
properties.
When Miss Calvin learned of this
she entered suit through Attorney Ed

came to trial the Highlands was sold
under foreclosure.
Justice Bailey held that the defend

could not reconvey the property to her,

From the standpoint of becom- ing better acquainted with condi- tions as they exist in the field and extending the supervision of the central office into outlying dis tricts, the trip of inspection just completed by N.

 MT. Gordon has returned from the most extensive trip of inspec- tion into isolated districts through out the Territory, made by any government department in Alaska. He was accompanied by Dr. F'el- lows, Medical Director and N. Les ter Troast, Architect for the de- partrnent.

 From our experience I would say that airplane transportation in Alaska during the winter months is most satisfactory. Some of our trips were made during weather which reached 50 degrees below zero but we suffered no serious discomfort. The weather on the whole was excellent and the few places we were delayed by storms were locations where we had work to do so that the delays caused no inconvenience" MT. Gordon said.

 The President said confidence and courage on the part of the people is essential to success of the plan.'
 The President further said: You will ask why are not all of the banks reopened at the same time?
 Question-Answer
 "The answer is simple your Government does not intend that the history of the past few years shall be repeated. We do not want and will not have another epidemic of bank failures. It is necessary that the reopening of banks be ex- tended over period in order to permit banks to make application for necessary loans and obtain cur rsncy needed to meet their re- quirement and to enable the Gov ernment to make common sense check-ups.
