Railroads Order
Many More Cars
And Locomotives

Glass I railroads of the United
States on September had 1872 new
freight cars on order, according to
reports received by the car service
division of the American Railway As
sociation. On the same day last year
1929 new freight cars were on order
and on the same date two years ago
there were ,423.
The railroads on September l this
year also had 35 new steam locomo-
tives on order and LOG electric loco
motives. New steam locomotives on
order on September l. 1888, totaled
one and on the same date in 1882
there were five.
In the first eight months of 1884
the railroads installed 1870 new
freight cars. In the same period last
year 1888 new cars were placed in
service and for the same period two
years ago the total number installed
was 2,477.
Six new steam locomotives and 10
new electric locomotives we're in
stalled in service in the first eight
months of this year. The railroads
in the first eight months of 1888 in
stalled one new steam locomotive and
35 in the corresponding period in
1882.

in Government bonds in the last six
months. On the other hand, the
present market situation is probably
the healthiest in years for the entire
country. No one is overextending
himself or going into debt in order
to make easy money.
The excellent reforms and the pol
Icy of liberalism now being adopted
by the Stock Exchange would have
been more valuable to the country in
l92829-30 than in 1884. 1t is good
to see them being put into operation
Like the safeguards to health and the
preventiveS of disease being advanced
by science, they give the future gen.
Grafton of investors a guarantee of safe
conduct through the perilous maze of
security markets.
Real Estate Markets Quiet.
Another evidence that the public
mind is not disturbed by imitation talk
is the absence of buying of land or of
improved property. Isolated instances
of this are occasionally noted. They
90 not indicate a trend. Real estate
markets have not been stirred by the
prospect of imitation. They are sub
merged by the volume of improbable
or unpromiSing titles offered for sale.
The experience of the investor in real
estate has been as bitter as in stocks.
more so than in foreign dollar bonds.
His hope is that imitation will repair
q portion of his losses.
In commodities there has been a
certain amount of public response to
the possibility Of imitation. Railroads
today are moving more canned goods
than ever before at this season. This
Is direct evidence that the consumer
Is stocking up against rise in prices
later in the year. The element of
small crops of fruit and vegetables also
enters into this demand. Otherwise.
the general reactions to initiation are
slight.
The answer of the imitation minded
to all this is that prices under exist
ing conditions rise slowly, that the
delay in reaching the 1926 level does
not prove failure of the Warren
Pearson gold theory, and that it may
take two years or five years to arrive
az q SOAOIl4Oll WIltIe TIE rise IN
commodities will compel radical re-
adjustment in the values of Govern
ment and corporation bonds, In rail-
road, public utility and institutional
stocks, and, inversely, boost the shares
of metal, merchandising, and food
companies as well as real estate.
The present indications are that
commodity prices will advance, but so
slowly that the public will uncon-
sciously adjust itself to nsw levels,
with none of the disruption in busi-
ness or in security markets such as
was occasioned abroad by imitation.
1t is the record of other countries
which is responsible for the imitation
fear in this country.

INJURED FIREMEN
 LEAVE HOSPITAL

The last two of the six firemen injured in the Garden building fire of Saturday night, Driver Frank Moore and Private Patrick Costel- 10, both of headquarters, were dis charged yesterday from St Mary's hospital. They will be confined to their homes for some time before returning to duty. Moore has a wrenched back, as well as rib in- juries, while Costello received pain- full injuries about the ankle.

 IN FIRST PLACE All=AmeriCans Take Lead in St Francis Card
 Tournament
WASHINGTON HILL.

Joe Phelan led his all- Ameri- cans into undisputed possession Of first place in the St Francis Holy Name society forty-five tournament last night with a 34-23 victory over Bill Gaughan's Ear Renders. Gaug- han failed to start with his team until the match was half over but
 when he did replace Tom Conway in the lineup the Ear Renders copped seven consecutive games and from no won Bill is going to I be a regular starter and will use l either Tom Conway or Tommy
 Coughlin as coaches of the outfit.
 The Washington Hills who were
 in a tie for first place before last
 nights games defeated Tom Hor-
 ans team 33-30 but failed to score
 as many games as the all-Ameri- cans and as a result now trail the Phalenmen by the margin of one game. Tom Walsh made his ap- pearance in the lineup of the Hills last night and as a result Tom Horan and his boys are now down at the bottom of the standing and have as yet to win a match this year after winning the tournament the last two years.
 Perry Shanahan's cohorts made a good gain in the standig by car- rying off scoring honors for the night with 36-27 win over Tom Dennihan's color bearers. Perry and his squad are said to be hold
 ing practice sessions during the
 week and from the result of last nights match its beginning to look as though they are.
 Shamrocks Lose
 Jimmie Cusick kept his team in the running for first place honors
 with a 34-29 win over the famous Shamrocks led by the old reliable John Fitzmaurice and as a result replaces the Shamrocks in third
 place in the standing. Fitzmaurice forgot he was playing cards after he had won a pig which was raff- led off in the hall during the tourn- ament and has filed protest with the committee asking that the match be replayed during the week and his men started arguing over the pig and forgot that they were playing forty-five.
 The city yard team led by Jerry Shannahan added another victim to their list when they knocked off Frank Mulcunry's boys by the tune of 34 to 29 in a well rlayed match featured by a great deal of arguing.
 Just when they had hit their stride and were beginning to climb up in the standing the Bucklers led by Les Coughlin were upset
