NEW YORK, April l0-Revenue Of
the transit industry in the United
States amounted to approximately
$202 900 900 for the first 13 weeks of
this year and as compared with S197,-
100000 for the first 13 weeks of 1896,
a gain of 212 per cent, according to
reports to Transit Journal from rep
resentative group of transit operating
companies all over the country.
Every week but one during this pc
riod showed improvement over the
corresponding week of last year. The
single exception was the week ended
February 27, 1887, which showed a
loss Of 1877 per cent.
This was due primarily to cal
endar shift which placed the Wash
ington's birthday holiday, always a
poor day for transit riding, in diff
ferent week this year from last.
For the year 1885 the operating
revenues of the transit industry reg
istered a gain of 61a per cent over
1885, the largest gain recorded in the
last 20 years Reports for the first
quarter of 1897 show that revenues
are continuing their upward climb,
though the rate of improvement is
not so rapid this year as last.

GOLD PRICE RUMORS
HITLONDON MARKET
Talk of Speculation Curbs, Budget
and Coronation Also Factors
in Slump.
BY LEONARD J. REID.
n 70 Va

BY cable TO Inc star.
LONDON, April 10.-After a quiet
start of confident movements in the
security markets and slight irregu-
larity in commodities in the early
part of the week, the city was dom
mated since Wednesday by scare ru-
mors suggesting that President Roose-
welt intended to reduce the price of
gold.
A steep fall in gold shares followed
and a less severe drop in most other
securities, except gilt-edged issues,
which grew flrmer. A curious feature
of the reaction was that quick cate
gorical denial of the rumors failed
to initiate recovery, although some
commodities are now steadier.
Because there is no logical reason
for this weeks setback there is no
logical reason why recovery should
not come quickly and generally. But
many experts expect continued Pc
riod Of indecision and irregularity in
the stock and commodity markets.
One reason for this is the growing
belief that the authorities in Amer
lea and Britain are determined to pre-
vent an unhealthy boom and are
likely to, cooperate effectively. 1t is
also necessary to remember that this
latest scare falls at time when the
near approach of the budget and the
coronation holiday break naturally
restrain speculative initiative.

TO Be RESUMED
All Producers Will Return to
Full Activity by End
of Week.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, April 10.-All producing
units of the automotive industry will
be back in full assembly activity by
the end of next week, resuming the
drive for the biggest output year in
its history, excepting 1929
This will be the immediate result
of the settlement of all labor troubles
as leading statistical agencies and
authoritative observers in the industry
envision the motorcar manufacturing
outlook. 1t will be the first time since
January !, that all automobile manu-
featuring concerns have been stimuli
taneously in capacity produc-
ton.
The labor troubles that first shut
off General Motors huge output and
then closed Chrysler assembly lines
have not altered original estimates Of
a 5000, ,000-car production this year.
Although far behind that schedule
at present, the industry expects to
assemble close to 1,750,000 cars and
trucks during the second quarter Of
the present year to make an aggregate
of approximately 100000 for the
first six months.
If this figure is attained. the in
dustry's assembly lines will be ap-
proximately abreast of the schedule
tentatively decided upon at the begin
ming of the present model season.
When the industry introduced its
current models last November, most
production managers and sales ex-
ecutives expected falling of in as
sembly line and salesroom activity in
the early Spring weeks. The strike
Interruptions more than absorbed any
such slowing down AS q matter of
fact, the heaviest consumer demand
in its history, barring the Spring
months of 1929, faces the industry at
present, and delivery delays are likely
to prevail for several weeks to come.
