small.
Traders were awaiting the
Presidents announcement of the
makeup of the Exchange Regula-
ton Commission, and turnover as
q result fell to low levels.
Commodities were fixed. Grains
were down on profit taking but
cotton was steady and silver and
rubber strong. Bonds were firm
while the dollar was strong.
Mine Shares Quiet
The mining stocks quieted down
after their recent uptrend, but
maintained firm tone. The
Treasury's embargo on silver ex-
ports had little influence market
wise.
A furry of buying came into
the food stocks. Borden hit a
new high for the year while
Standard Brands was active and
higher.
The oils were dull and gen
orally sold around the previous
closing levels. United States
Steel started off lower but stead
led after a fractional decline.
Its fluctuations were duplicated
by the other steel shares.

81 RAILS HAVE
LOWER NETS

Net operating income in May of
the first 81 railroads to report
shows a drop of O.8 per cent from
the like 1888 period. However,
these roads recorded gain OF
1853 per cent over the compar-
able 1882 month. Net operating
income of these carriers in May
amounted to $4,000, 900. as COM
pared with $34,061, 900 in May last
year and $13.780,000 in the 1882
month. In April these same rails
had net operating income Of $26,'
44o. 900. against $16,810.000 in
April, 1888, a gain of S7.3 per
cent
Gross revenues of these carriers
last month aggregated $224,467.-
600, against $202,187,000 in the
corresponding 1888 period, an in
crease of II per cent. and against
$199 1888, 900 in the like 1882
month, a gain of 1875 per cent. In
April gross revenues Of these
roads totaled $205, 357 900, CON-
pared with $4,000 in April
last year, an increase Of 1871 per
cent.
Drop in net operating income
despite the rise in gross revenues
last month indicates the extent of
the rise in costs Of materials and
supplies and also the increase in
expenses due to greater mainte-
nance expenses. Many of the
roads at this time have completed
a greater portion of their rail lay
ing programs than at the like
time last year.

WILL NOT INVADE
Olympic Champion, Training
Halted by Snow, Denied
Delayed Trip.

Olympic 1.500 meter

n YEW YORK, January 1e.-
NJ Luigi Beccali of Italy, the
l Y Olympic 1,500 meter
champion and one of the
greatest runners in the world at
the mile or kindred distances,
will not compete in the United
States during the present indoor
season.
Daniel J. Ferris. secretary-treasurer
of the A. A. u. has admitted that he
has given up all hope that the black
haired European ace would be over this
year.
A snoWStorm at Milan which inter-
fered with Beccalis training prompted
the Italian to ask that his trip be post
poned until the middle of February. a
condition which the A. A. u could not
grant. The terms on which the invita-
ton was based called for appearances
at the Millrose A. A. games at Madison
Square Garden February and at the
Boston A. A. and New York A. c. meets
and the national championships on the
following Saturdays.

the organizations promoting the ma jor
meets. The Italian would have been a
tremendous drawing card for the big
mile races with Glenn Cunningham,
Bill Bonthron. Gene Venzke. Glen Daw-
son and the other American top
notchers.
Not only did Beccai win the Olympic
1.500-meter championship but he de-
feated Jack Lovelock of New Zealand
in Italy last Summer in metric mile"
OF 1892 to equal the world record for
the distance. A week later he set a

Ditto if Georgetown and
