Europe Orders Huge
Supplies Of U. 5.
'1a||ow and Lard
Commodity Dealers
Believe Most Is for
Use Of Neutral Nations
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Commodi-
ties dealers reported today huge Or
ders for American lard, talloW and
vegetable oil for shipment to Europe.
They said that although many
of the consignments were for Genoa,
they believed their ultimate destina-
ton was the neutral countries whose
supplies of these products, ordinarily
obtained from Great Britain, have
been cut off by the war.
Although the opinion was ex-
pressed tn some quarters that the
destination indicated Germany prob
ably would obtain some of the ship
ments, 1t was pointed out that
Italian steamers now are free, be-
cause of Rome's neutrality, to carry
much of the commerce from the
United States.
One dealer said many of the orders
were being placed in 200 and 300
ton lots. The result of the heavy
buying was rapid series of changes
in quotations, with demand centered
on immediate and October deliveries.
Much of the American supplies
of coconut oil comes from the Philip

Electric Production
Advances 81 Pct.
To Record Total
2,444,371,0 900 KiIowott
Hours Is Output
For Weekly Period
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 20-Pro-
duction of electricity in the United
States for the week ended Sep
tember 16, as announced today
by the Edison Electric Institute,
reached a record total of 2,444,-
371 900 kilowatt hours.
The figure represented an advance
of 67 per cent over the preceding
weeks production Of 2,289 100000
and 10.4 per cent more than the
900 kilowatt hours gen.
Grated in the comparable 1888
period.
While the Labor Day holiday,
which limited the previous week to
five business days, was partly ac-
countable for the sharp increase,
the advance was more than expect
ed-seasonal variations taken into
consideration. Power circles attrib-
uted the gain in production to fur
ther wide expansion in industrial
activity.
The Associated Press index of
electric power production, adjusted
for seasonal and long-term trend
the years 1929-30 taken as 100
advanced for the week to 1852, q
new high for 1889, from 1884 the
previous week and 1875 a year ago.
The range for recent years follows:
1888 1888 1887. 1886 1934-5.
High - 1852 1l7.2 1852 1l9.s 1858
Low - 1913 1923 ILLS 1920 9l9
Expressed in per cent advances
for the similar 1888 week, major
geographic areas participated in the
higher production as follows: New

Dividend in f940
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 20.-George
NJ. Shriver, senior vice president Of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
testified at a Federal Court hearing
today that the road probably would
not declare a dividend in 1910 if its
debt revision plan is approved,
Mr.. Shriver said 1910 stock divi
dend was very unlikely" if the
court approves the plan to revise
the debt structure under the Chand-
ler Act and the roads interest
charges are reduced from S3l 100000
to S19,OOO.OOO
He asserted, however. that security
holders would not be adversely
affected by the portion of the plan
calling for 2l2 per cent of gross
earnings to be set aside for a capital
fund. That move, he said, would
be for the benefit of the property.
Mr.. Shriyer said, in answer to
another question, that the B. e. O.
assets exceeded its liabilities "by a
very large amount"
