OPTIMISM RULES
LONDON TRADING
Week of Abnormal Activity

LONDON, November 27.-A week Of
abnormal activity in the stock market
ended with the bullEhnesS unabated.
There was very little weekend profit
taking and public buying was unde-
TERED by rising prices.
There were small booms in tin,
copper and rubber shares due to spe-
cial restriction quota decisions. but
the underlying directive influence
undoubtedly was Wall Streets unex-
pectedly quick and favorable response
to the Roosevelt landslide.
Domestic statistics continue to re-
fleet the accelerated business expan-
sion here: for example. the notable
increase in bank clearings and also
in note circulation. Moreover, re-
armament orders are just beginning
to act as a stimulus which will
steadily increase. Thus. while con-
tinued cheap and abundant money
and credit fully sustain the best class
of fixed-interest securities, the buy
ing of home industrials shows no
sign Of slackening.
Generally, the temper here is one
Of optimism, previously based on home
conditions and now restimulated Wig
orously by a belief in the approach
Of better world trade, resulting from
the gold bloc devaluation and recent

REPORT
MARKED RISE IN
TRAVEL REVENUES
Effect of Reduced Fares in
Eastern Territory Is De-
bated by Executives.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, November THE
call of the locomotive whistle, offering
a ride over the rails at two cents a
mile, has recaptured some of its old
lure for the rowing American.
So rail men conclude from an in
crease in passenger revenues in the
first four months under the lower fare
schedule ordered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission early this
year. 1t cut the basic rate. effective
June 2, to two cents mile in coaches,
three cents in pullman cars and
abolished pullman surcharges.
Chiefly affected were Eastern roads,
previously on basic rate Of 3.6 cents
a mile. Carriers in the West and
South had been seeking to tempt the
prodigal traveller back to the rails
with basic rates as low or lower than
the I. C. c. fixed.
Just how much downward revision
of the basic rates enhanced the iron
horses lure divides opinion in trans
portation circles.
Follows General Rise.
The June-September gains in pas
senger revenues conceded with a ro-
bust advance in business generally and
improvement in public purchasing
power. Competing carriers also did
well. Gasoline consumption, con-
sidered an index Of highway travel,
hit a new peak and so did air travel.
Nevertheless, rail men are con-
fronted by figures showing distinct
acceleration in percentage gains in
passenger revenues despite the rate
slash.
A compilation by the Association
Of American Railroads shows passen-
ger income for all class roads from
June to the end Of September ex-
panded 17.6 per cent compared with
the corresponding 1885 period. In the
first five months. before the new rates
became effective, it was running 1877
per cent ahead Of last year.
Jumps to 144 Per cent.
The rate of gain for the Eastern
district, with its relatively dense traf-
fc, jumped to 14.4 per cent from 9.8
in the first five months.
To many this looked like a swing
to the rails by purse conscious pub
lie, schooled in the depression to count
its pennies.
Besides the two-cent coach fare,
the iron horse was sprouting other
lures-fast stream-lined trains, air
conditioned cars, a variety of COM
forts and services for the traveller.
To fight competition of cheaper or
faster modes of travel, rail men de-
veloped luxury service and the I. C. C.
recognized its place in the changing
transportation picture by permitting
continuation of extra fare trains.

PROGRAMS FOR HOMES

Box Office Is Only Sponsor"

BY J. G. DONLEY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, November Those
who are working on plans for the
development Of television won't talk.
But some interesting gossip is heard
around on the outskirts of the move
ment, among people financially in
terested in the great amusement in
dustry.
From talks W ith such people the
writer has gained the impression
that. when television is ready to offer
to the public on broad scale. it will
be found that the motion picture in
dustry. the theater in both senses of
the word, and the radio industry are
working in close cooperation. And
it seems likely that the first ambitious
televised presentations. will be made
in motion picture houses and other
theaters, instead of being broa @cast
for reception in the home, :! Is
popularity anticipated.
The actual SHOW" perhaps musi-
cal comedy or light opera. will be
performed, say. on Broadway. And
it will be shown, just as it progresses,
with all the variations in performance
that creep into a flesh-and- blood.
first-hand production, as contrasted
with the "cut and retake" perfection
of the movies.
Many Audiences to See.
Thrown upon the usual size movie
screen, audiences in many theaters
will see and hear the same sights and
sounds which combine to entertain
the big-city audience in the originat-
ing theater.
What they will see, Of course. will
be made up of lights and shadows on
a silver screen. and the sounds that
come to their ears will also have been
transmitted as electrical impulses,
over wires or through the ether. to be
transformed a fraction of second
later into audible waves. But there
will be q "kick" that the pre-made
movies lack, for the audience will be
fully conscious of the fact that they
are seeing something only fractional
flick Of an eyelash removed from
actuality.
Going back bit, those who remem-
Der the "nickelodeons" will recall that
the first moving pictures showed sim
pie incidents of anecdotal brevity.
It would be a mistake to assume
that today's public will flock to see
televised bits Of action in which-a Ia
nickelodeon-a washerwoman dunks
a too persistent book agent in a tub
full of suds: or a series Of singing and
dancing acts. Televised moving pic
lures will still be just moving pictures
to the eye, and the public will expect
a finish product which is comparable
to the best the sound films deliver.
Great Care. Taken.
That is why so much planning is
preceding the Inauguration of tele-
vision.
Another reason why first showings
on any ambitious scale are likely to be
made through existing playhouses is
that the box Office is about the only
sponsor" which can guarantee quick
returns to meet costs of production on
the grand scale the public will expect
Later, income will be enhanced
through sales of household receiving
sets for broadcast entertainments.

TO PAY BUT NOT WITH MONEY!

The idea has been passed around
that the Italian government plans to re-
open negotiations for the resumption of
payments on Italy's war debt to the United
States, according to special dispatch from
Rome, Italy.
More correctly stated the news is that
Italy is about to inaugurate negotiations
for the further cancellation of what she
owes the United States. Since June. 1888.
the Italians have fallen behind So, 494.-
900 in the payments scheduled when this
government cancelled most of the debt to
get it in good shape
No hint is given as to what Mussolini
thinks he might pay but the idea is adj
vanced that he will not offer to paw any,
thing like this sum nor even the payment
of $14,2OO,OOO due next June. He is will
ing, the dispatch from Rome says. to sign
an agreement if the American government
is willing to take into account "Italy's
good will and reduce the amount to a.
reasonable figure" In other words. he
is willing to pay portion of the amount
due if we make a new agreement cancel
ling more of the debt
What Mussolini has in mind, it ap-
pears, is that his nation is in default and
under the Johnson Act no loans may be
floated in the United States by any gov
eminent in default on war-debt payments
He now needs money from this country
for the development of Ethiopia and his
own land and would like for the Amer
leans to be kind enough to put it up.

SURGEONS BIDS ASKED

While there can be no reasonable OBJ
lection to the custom of calling for bids
on any contract involving a large amount
the habit many business and professional
men have of chasing bids on small guam
titles of printed matter is sometimes ex-
asperating to printers.
In many cases bids are asked on Jobs
amounting to only few dollars, where Sc
curing the proposals must inevitably cost
more in time and trouble than any possible
saving would repay.
According to story now being wide
ly published, one printer got weary of
bidding on trivial jobs, and when a sur
geon asked for bids on a small quantity of
letterheads, and also requested that the
type form be left standing, so that he
might have the benefit of cheaper rates
for future orders, the printer wrote the
surgeon this letter:
Am in the market for bids on one
operation for appendicitis One, two or
five inch incisiOn-with or without ether
ALSO with or without nurse If appendix
is found to be sound, want quotations to
include putting back same and canceling
order. If removed, successful bidder is ex-
pected to hold incision open for about
sixty days as | expect to be in the market
for an operation for gallstOnes at that
time and want to save the extra cost of
cutting"
