RATES
DELAY
CUT ORDER

Detailed consideration of the
Potomac Electric Light Company's
proposed schedules of consumer
rates, entailing a total reduction
Of $31O,36O, today occupied the
attention of the Public Utilities
Commission.
Chairman Riley E. Elgen, of the
commission, said the study had
run into such complications that
the order for the rate reductions
will not be issued until tomorrow.
The company proposed to reduce
rates Of domestic consumers by
500 ,537, but the So-called smaller
consumers would not get the bene-
lit Of the rate cut.
The company proposed that the
first bracket inthe 1885 rates for
domestic consumers remain the
same. that is 3.9 cents for the
first so killowat hours. The com.
pany proposed to reduce the sec.
ond bracket for the next so hours
from 81 cents per hour to 30
cents.
1t was pointed out that of the
136,248 domestic consumers, only
$4,000 use sufficient amount of
current monthly to bring them
into the class which obtain the
proposed reduction.
The commission was considering
lowering this schedule and also
revising the schedule Of the small
user, whose bills the company pro
posed to reduce by q total of
$140854.

who have SlaShed their way for
the last three years through grue-
some killings similar to the eerie

NEW YORK, April 25.-Gains of
! to 3 points in the farm shares gave
the stock market bright spot today.
The remainder of the list lacked the
steam shown by the farm issues and
finished generally with advances of
only fractions to point or so.
Measured by the Associated Press
average of 60 stocks the market was
up A of point to 500. Transactions
totaled 536,370 shares for the two-hour
session.
Influences on sentiment were the
continued uneasiness over tomorrow's
French elections and, in the back
ground, the continued flow of favor
able business news.
The market started briskly with
good demand for motors. specialties
and rails. Some of these issues which
advanced point or so. bumped into
selling as the session progressed and
closed with gains of only fractions.
The pound sterling was "a of cent
higher at s4.937s at the finish. The
French franc. unchanged at $685.
cents. afforded little hint of the finan-
cial districts opinions on the French
elections tomorrow, which some have
said might be followed by devaluation
Of the currency.
The decision of the New York Stock
Exchange to ease margin requirements,
announced after the close of the mar
ket on Friday, was seen in brokerage
circles as abating fears that selling
would develop on May 1. from custo-
mers unable to comply with the rule as
1t formerly stood.
Analysts scanning the business hori-
Zon stressed the substantial industrial
first quarter net earning gains over the
period last year.

while later deliveries eased under

barely steady at a net advance of 3
points on May. Later months were
to points net lower.
The influence of steadier Liverpool
cables was partially Offset by hedging
and liquidation in the later deliveries.
Buying on overnight reports of con-
tinued dry weather in the Southwest
was checked by prospects for unsettled
conditions in that section. May was
sustained by the covering of trade

The amount of cotton on shfpboard
