RAIL SHARES NEAR
194L0WS AGAIN
Little Strength and
Depress General
List.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK. August 4.--With some
of the leading rail shares back around
their lowest prices recorded this year,
traders who follow chart theories were
inclined to desert the bull side of
stocks today to wait for a test Of the
late July low points. Rails have
shown little rallying power the last
week and have acted as q drag on
the general list.
However, the contraction OF trad
ing on the decline yesterday and the
scattered nature of liquidation at the
week end reassured analysts who as
sumed the market had plumbed its
midsummer depths on the sharp
break Of July 26.
Reports that rate experts studying
plans for petition for higher freight
rates were considering restricting the
increase to heavy classifications, such
as coal, to dissipate pessimism over
the railroads plight. A coal rate
boost, for instance, would not aid
Western carriers much. They are
faced with loss of freight as result
Of crop failures and drought damage.
On the contrary, it would help some
of the carriers that least need it, such
as the Norfolk & Western and the
Chesapeake & Ohio.
Worked out on a seasonally ad-
justed basis, the railroad car loadings
index for the week ended July 28 was
at the lowest point touched this year,
having sagged slowly in recent
months. Thus not much hope was
held out that July railroad earnings
statements would make a better show
ing than the June statements, the
source of much of the bearishness
surrounding railroad shares lately.
Railroads last month curtailed
maintenance work in an effort to off,
set higher costs. but 1t was considered
doubtful that they could do much in
that direction. Summary of the June
earnings statements published recent
ly indicates that whereas gross reve-
nue. for the month increased less than
2 per cent compared with the same
month last year. operating expenses
were more than 10 per cent higher
and cut down net operating income
substantially.

NEW YORK, August 4.--In its
weekly summary of the general busi-
ness situation. the Standard Stats
tics Co. Of New York, currently COM
ments as follows:
Considering the various immediate
uncertainties in business, it is ap-
parent that the majority could be
quite promptly clarified. The Gov
ernment could impart a distinct
impetus to industry generally, by use
of the powers already available and
a clear statement of intentions more
in line with average concepts Of
economic feasibility.
Unless such steps are forthcoming
shortly, general business revival dur
ing the Fall probably will be OF con-
siderably less than seasonal propor-
tions, thereby deferring until next
Spring full resumption Of the cyclical
advance.
"a large number Of unfavorable
factors have been brought to focus
within the last two weeks. These
include the war scare in Europe, the
drought in this country and the heavy
relief expenditures which it will en-
tail. labor disturbances, the prospect
of higher living costs largely as a
result of crop shortage, impending
increases in taxation, the uncertain
position of the coming Congress on
monetary questions, and increasing
apprehension over the Governments
recovery program"

Commenting on the figures, the

creased almost twice as much as the

that the average earnings of employees

ginia in 1888 were about 10 per cent
less than in 1929. The average an
nual sales per employe in the State
of Virginia showed a reduction of

CORN GRIND IN
U. S. DECLINES
Total for First Six Months
Is 6,737,7O9 Bushels,
Off Is Per Cent.
BIZ Times SpociaI

81 mes NVCCidt
NEW YORK, July 16.-The do
nestle corn grind of eleven refners
for the month of June, as reported
by the Corn Industries Research
Foundation, amounted to 6,7377O9
bushels bringing the total domestic
grind for the first six months of
the current year to 31,O85, SOP as
compared with 36,567,455 for the
corresponding six months of 1888, a
decrease of Is per cent.
The foundation reports that the
June, 1884 grind represents the
peak grind of this year up to the
present time and probably reflects
a general anticipation of price in
creaseS.
While the figures are substantial
ly above the June, 1888, grind of
5,152612 bushels, the latter figure
represented a reaction from the alb
normally heavy spring grind of
that year and any comparison
should include a consideration of
these changed conditions.
Within the industry. says the
foundation, the trend of this years
grind is still viewed with dissatis-
faction and serious forebodings as
to the continued effects of foreign
competition in the starch market,
where department of commerce
figures for the first five months of
this year show duty-free imports
of 100000 pounds of foreign
starch materials, an increase of
more than 40 per cent over the
same period last year.
