By the Associated Press.
TULSA, Okla, September 49,
Trunk and gathering pipe lines which
transport crude oil. natural gas anc
gasoline in the United States have
increased until they total 100000

ATS ref1neries operating in 80 States
and to marine terminals. In addition

gather the days supply of crude oil
from 345,000 active wells in 20 pro-
ducing States.
Natural gas flows through $4,000
miles OF great trunk line systems
which transport an average of 6,0O0,-
100000 cubic feet daily.
Use of pipe lines to transport gas
oline has increased until at present
5,460, 900 gallons daily leave 20 re-
flneries by that means.
An additional $4,000 to $4,000 miles
OF pipe lines are in use to gather and

NEW YORK, September 16-The
earnings outlook for both the manu-
featuring and transport divisions Of
the aviation industry remains favor
able, according to Poor's Stock Re-
ports. Aggregate profits of six COM
panies whose figures are available
for the first half of 1887 totaled
S2,419,000, a gain of 81 per cent over
1885 results. The most marked i'm

and spare parts totaled $49, 9,450,000 in
the first six months of 1887, an in

port. Sales Of military planes and

83 per cent. Sales of parts regis
tered n per cent gain.
Manufacturers Of aeronautical
equipment enjoyed a 96 per cent rise
in exports to sl3,687, 900 during the

Passenger traffic of domestic air.
lines established an all-time high at
44,100,000 revenue passenger miles
during the month of July, Z per
cent gain over the preceding months
This brought results for the first
seven months of 1887 to $2l8, 920, 900,
nearly ii per cent in excess of
comparable 1896 months. Higher op-
Grating costs and lower rate schedules,
however, prohibited transport lines
from showing black ink figures. Given
a better than seasonal improvement
in passenger traffic during The bal
ance of 1887. the major linos. should
at least be able to reduce their Losses
considerably. Existing airmail sched-
ules for the, current year may well
total $4,000, 900 miles"

FRANC CONTINUES
TO MOVE LOWER
Profit aking Slows Drop
Despite Operations of
Sterilization Funds.
BY the Associated Press

by the AsSOCi6teQ PTeAS.
PARIS, September 16-French sta
bilization funds were reported buying
pounds and dollars today, but profit
taking by spectators checked the
francs fall.
The franc still was skidding when
trading opened today, but its down.
ward pace was slowed. 1t reached a
new 10-year low of 1896 francs to the
dollar (3.37 cents. 1t officially closed
for the day at 1910 to the dollar
(3367 cents).
Despite its continued fall, the Bank
of France failed to raise the redis-
count rate. Sterilization fund activi-
ties led many experts to believe the
franc was near the bottom of its
plunge.
Many sources believed the future of
the franc depended largely on the
Mediterranean and general European
political situation, which was said to
have played large part in the current
decline.
1t was believed the franc would
level off at around 80 to the dollar
1888 cents) unless something new
affects its course.
A slight improvement in financial
position was shown by the weekly
statement of the Bank of France.
Gold reserves rose from 55,7l7, ,000.-
900 francs to 55,761 100000 from
81 1,887,413,375 to ST. ,888, ,903,875). Total

ECONOMIST SEES
RECESSION AHEAD
Lichenstein Declares Slow Drop
May Be Staved Off by Fed
eral Manipulations.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 16. - DR..
Walter Lichenstein, economist of the
First National Bank of Chicago, said
yesterday that after five years steady
improvement business is due for a
slow decline which should be reflected
in fourth quarter earnings reports"
He spoke before fire insurance ex-
perts who opened three-day con-
ference.
Recession developments, he said,
might be delayed until next Spring by
factors such as labor troubles which
kept production in some lines below
what it would have been otherwise, or
rearmament.
He said the recession might even
be STAYED off until the 1910 election by
manipulations which the Government
undoubtedly has power to carry out"
But this, he said, would probably mean
eventually "a very sharp recession in
business instead of a gradual one"
