DROUGHT CLOUDS
PROFITS OUTLOOK
Uncertainty Over Earnings
Called Major Factor in
Market Break.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 31.-The trend
of corporate profits, so clearly upward
early in the year, has been enveloped
in the miSts Of uncertainty once more,
to the discontinue Of the securities
marke,s.
In fact some market analysts ex-
press the opinion that uncertainty
over corporate profits was the major
force in the sharp break In the Sc
curities markets last week, rather
than vague fears as to possible re-
percussions of the Austrian situation.
Earnings during the earlier months
Of the year made strikingly favorable
contrasts with 1888, for the like
months Of last year included the
banking holiday, and the crisis lead
ing up TO it. But May and June Of
1884 compare with a period In the
previous year In which business was
swiftly accelerating, as the effects Of
the bank holiday were thrown of,
inflationary enthusiasm was created
by leaving the gold standard, manu-
facturers speeded production to beat
rising costs.
Summer Lull Cited.
Nevertheless, the majority Of earn
ings statements to be published thus
far for the second quarter of 1894, or
three months ending last June 80,
show marked improvement over the
like period of 1888. But this Is not
true Of many individual companies,
particularly those that have not been

 This the the major plank in the Roosevelt platform of planned economic recovery. Presumably. the official objective is, approxi- mately, the level of 1926. On the price level then prevailing we were prosperous. When that price structure broke down depression swept over us. Obviously, then, we can recapture prosperity--so 1t is reasoned--by restoring prices to their rightful level.
 According to the index of 784 items compiled weekly by the Bur eau of Labor Statistics, wholesale prices to date have advanced by nearly 24 per cent from the depres- sion low of March 4, 1893. The greater part of this gain was rec orded last year in one spasmodic and distorting leap between 0 clearly defined upward trend has been resumed. This new phase of advance is of gradual and orderly character.
 From the present position fur ther advance of 35 per cent will be required to restore the 1926 level. On the other hand, should we be satisfied with the average level of 1927-1928-1929-which was lower than that of 1926-an additional advance of 2S per cent will suffice.
 Put in another way, this index which the New Deal watches so eagerly has now advanced by ap- proximately IA points. A further advance of 26 points would produce the 1926 level. An advance or an other 21 points would produce the 1927-1928-1929 level. During the past eight weeks the net advance has been 3.3 points. Thus. if the present rate of advance continues. just year from now will find us at the 1929 level at one year and three months will put prices back to 1926.
 It is. therefore. not beyond the realm of possibility, that by the middle of next year, we shall have had a conclusive, practical test of the validity of the present wide spread assumption that recovery of tho general price level of the post

Divorce on grounds of assertion was granted Pranas Burauskis against Mary Barauskis by Judge Arthur F. Els at the short calen- dar session of superior court to- day.

 Attorney Albert J. Bronsky, counsel for the petitioner asked that the custody order be left open so that he can come into court later to have an adjustment made in case the father sought it. He explained that while the de- fendant has been a good mother, recently she has been leaning to- ward communistic tendencies and Is attempting to influence both daughters in the same way. Attor- ney Bronsky submitted commun- istic magazine to Judge Els to examine, stating the defendant is q subscriber to the organ. Judge Els granted the request.

FAIRBANKS DID
 NOT WIN LUNCH
Bet on Hurdler Because Mary Once Gave Him Same Named Horse

Aintree. Eng, Mar 23-UP)- Many indications of reconciliation between Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford were supported by the motion picture actor today when he said he bet on Lone Eagle IT in the Grand Rational steeple- chase because it reminded him of a horse given him by Miss Pickford.
 Transatlantic telephone conver- sations, remarks by Miss Pickford in New York and various reports in theatrical circles here have in- dicated recently that the famous motion picture couple would soon settle their differences and that Miss Pickford would withdraw her separation action.
 Fairbanks today said he had backed Lone Eagle in the race for ten pounds (about $51) flor senti- mental reasons"
 That was because Mary once gave me horse by that name," he said.
 Lone Eagle failed to finish.
