There is better tone in the wool

especially intensive and prices have
not responded particularly, as yet, al
though there is a disposition on the
part of holders of wool to ask more
money for their stocks and this has
stopped some business which might
have been done. The market is firmer.
Manufacturers report little that is
new in the goods market. There is
some buying against needs and little
on speculation, apparently. This spec

ton plea under the Bankruptcy Act

the capital stock.
The Erie, which now owns 80 per
cent of the outstanding stock. would
receive AZ per cent of the new COM

TREASURY REJECTS
ALL Cement BIDS
Officials Decline to Explain, but
Declare Offers Appeared to
Be Competitive.

By the Associated Press.
The Treasury rejected yesterday all
bids for approximately 100000 bar
rels of cement.
Of1icials declined to explain the re-
lection. but said the bids appeared
to be competitive.
When the Treasury advertised for
the bids, Secretary Morgenthau said
the bids were asked on a mill instead
of delivered basis in order to prevent
collusive bidding.
The cement manufacturers, who
traditionally have sold cement only
on prices including the cost of trans
portation, complied for the first time
with a Federal invitation to submit
prices at their mills.
There were indications that factor
in the rejection was the lack Of bids
from number of regions. The Treas
ury wanted bids on furnishing cement
in more than 10 different districts
for use on all Federal and Federal
aid construction projects.

CARRIERS WEIGH
FURTHER BOOSTS
Contemplate Reopening OF
Is Per Cent Rate Case
Before !. c. C..
By CHARLES f. SPEARE-

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, April 22.-Made
desperate by the failure of earnings to
increase even seasonally and by the
steady drain on their cash resources.
the railroad arrangements of the
country are contemplating an appli-
cation to the Interstate Commerce
Commission TO reopen the IS per cent
freight rate case. Specifically, they
may ask for another per cent ad-
vance. which. with the 6iz per cent
allowance given them in March, would
realize a total OF about 100000 900
on the basis Of 1886 earnings.
1t also has been reported that they
may make another attempt to gain
the commissions permission to raise
passenger coach rates in the Eastern
territory, from 2 to 2i2 cents a mile.
In their decisions in both the
freight and passenger rate cases.
members Of the commission were di-
vided over the merits of the two
applications. So 1t is believed that
enough support for applications for
advanced tariffs exists to justify the
suggested effort Of the carriers.
Bond Values Slump.
Since the freight rate increase.
there has been a striking decline in
the market value Of all grades of
railroad bonds as we'll as in railroad
preferred stocks. Dealers in both
classes Of securities fnd it impossible
to sell them in stable amounts. Bid
and asked quotations are frequently
S points or more apart. Issues in
which the normal trading unit is from
$3.50 900 to s5O0,O00 are now dealt in
odd lots.
Deferment by the Atchison Of the
May interest on its adjustment mort
gage As created q mild kind of panic
among institutional holders Of rails.
Since this was announced a week ago,
a number of prime mortgage issues
have declined from to points, or a
greater fluctuation in their market
than they ordinarily experience in
months. One of the strongest Of the
carriers. in point Of credit, was re-
fused consideration short time ago
when 1t applied to its bankers for au-
thority to sell small bond issue.
Eventually, it obtained short term
banking loan.
Air Competition Grows.
A few days later, one of the leading
railroad bankers was heading syn
dicate which offered the common
stock OF an airplane company The
incident is significant of the change
in investment fashions in the last few
years, and of the increasing compe-
tition from the air that the steam
transportation lines are experiencing.
Although there is not much expec-
tation of effecting a reduction in
wages of their employees. the rail-
road managements are preparing to
force this issue. 1t is realized that
the processes of arbitra ton and medi-
alton, if entered into a wage con-
flict, will consume months. The same
is true in the event that rate cases
are reopened. Just how mucn longer
railroads, now on the brink of bank
ruptcy. can continue to pay their bills
without traffic or relief is the factor
Of greatest anxiety among their Of
ficials and their security holders.
