Railroad Accessory
Business Aided by
Broad Recovery
Makers Again Operating
In Black, According
To Poor's Reports
Special Dispatch to the Star.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12-Indicative
OF the broad advance of the recov-
cry movement is the progress made
by railroad accessory manufacturers.
Ordinarily, equipment manufac-
turers must await an extended pc
riod of improving business activity
and rising carloadings before sub
stantial orders from railroads ap-
pear. According to Poor's Stock Re-
ports the demand for car and loco
motive repair parts has already i'm
proved to the point where accessory
makers are again operating in the
black.
Improvement has also been wit
messed in demand for track main
tenance material and specialized
equipment required under the rul.
ings of the Association of American
Railroads" states the report. More
over, with further rise in car
loadings indicated for early 1899
months, operations in these diH-
sions of the railroad equipment in
dustry should become increasingly
profitable.
I'm the final analysis the pur-
chasing power of carriers determines
the equipment makers fortunes.
While the carriers are always de-
sirous of improving facilities to
meet competition from other trans
portation fields, they are necessar-
lily restricted in their new purchase
or maintenance programs by their
credit resources and earnings pros
poets.
There is an obvious need for
modern and more efficient railroad
equipment, but the long-term out
look for such purchases is not prom
Using. Carriers continue to be faced
with disproportionately high lahar
and tax costs, as we'll as growing
competition which has upset rate
structures. Expected recovery pc
riods will not witness a return of
rail traffic to previous peaks, and
consequently maximum equipment
requirements are showing a down.

The mail order division reported
an increase in sales volume of "A
per cent above the same month in
1887. The two largest chains in this
group both showed a gain in dollar
volume in spite of the present price
level, which is lower than it was
during the same period last year.
AS these chains cover both the in
dustrial and agricultural areas, this
may point to a turn in the trend
which has been prevalent for the
last year.
The shoe division reported an in
crease of IA per cent over the same
month last year. The demand for
rubbers and heavier footwear after
the storm at Thanksgiving was a
possible factor in putting the sales
volume of this group ahead of No
vember, 1887 The drug and variety
divisions both showed a slight in
crease for the last month over the
like period of the previous year, the
former reporting a 0.55 per cent in
crease and the latter a OIL per cent
increase.

Strawberry Acreage
Expected to Jump

Strawberry acreage for picking in
1899 in Maryland and the other
strawberry producing States will be
about $4,000 acres-the largest
since 1929, according to DR.. A. L.
Schrader, head of the University of
Maryland Horticulture Department.
He says that this statement is con-
flrmed by reports recently issued by
the United States Bureaus of Agri-
cultural Economics.
This prospective acreage for the
1889 harvest is per cent greater
than the 1888 harvested acreage
and about 7 per cent above the 1927
50 average. Acreage increases over
1888 are indicated for the late, in
termediate and second early groups
Of States.
In the early States, where market
Ing difficulties have been most pro-
nounced in recent years, some re-
duction in the acreage for picking in
1899 is reported likely. Maryland is
located in the intermediate area.
