Railroad Earnings
 Slightly Below 1883
New Deal Net of Increased Wages, Higher Costs and
 Pension Bill Reason for UnfavOrable Comparison

fourth quorter of the year will be considerably below the 1883 lev el it appears likely that the net loss after charges this year will be considerably above the full year net loss for 1883. The 1884 net loss after charges has been esti- mated at as much as $73,000,000.
 Complete returns covering Sep tember operations show that out of some 65 major Class 1 railroads, only about 27 were able to show an increase in gross over 1893. Of these 27 railroads only 8 were able to transmit a portion of the in- creased gross to net and show larger net railway operating in- come than in September, 1933."

This overshadoWed the nor
mally stimulating influence of
the runup in commodities. Wheat
scared more than 3 cents a
bushel, carrying other grains
up sharply, on the serious crop
situation in this country and
Canada.
Cotton jumped 81 a bale and
silver around "a cents an ounce,
the latter reflecting predictions
of an accord between the silver
bloc and the President on doing
something further for the white
metal. Rubber went to new
high and the best price in four
years.
Silver Shares Strong
Silver shares alone displayed
sustained strength, gains running
to 2 points in U. S. Smelling, on
a sympathetic rise with the
metal Steels were relatively
steady, aided by the new gain in
the industry's operations to the
best level since the middle of
1880. Oils were quiet. Motor
stocks were supported by the
hope that General Motors direc-
tors at their meeting after the
close of the market would de-
clare a 25-cent extra dividend.
Utilities Better
Utilities recovered slightly with
the rest of the list in the early
dealing, but Immediately ran into
fresh offerings and gave way
easily, with little support in evi-
dence.

Valeria's eyes were bright with

the telephone. She had hardly
dared hope. Like everybody else,
Peter could stand only so much
unhappiness. She must make the
most of this softened mood. If
she could only persuade him to
commit himself, to promise to
start divorce proceedings!
Peter did not drink. But if he
could be persuaded to drink a lit
tie now, he would fall in with her
plans better.
She handed him cocktail soon

Dirk smiled. Valeria was get

was she? Well, it would be fun to

Peter took the glass, looking
down at it darkly. Valeria wanted
him to drink. Well, if it gave her
any fun, why not? He drank the
mixture and put the glass down.
LET me fix you another"
"Thanks," said Peter. eff you

Dirk took the glass and refilled
lit. After a while he looked at
Peter and registered admiration:
The fellow was certainly cool
hand. He knew how to hold his
liquor. He had heard that Petr
kendall was not a drinking chap.
For an amateur he was certainly
good. He was sure that if Peter
were outwardly calm, some tur-
MOL was going on inside.
He was right. Peter was watch
