today said he had sent letters to Of
ficers and directors of the Terminal
Railroad Association of st. Louis
protesting an alleged plan to place
new Terminal financing with Nor

Young pointed out that his SIM

Cincinnati Union Terminal financ-
ing had saved that company con-
siderable money, compared with
previously projected private placing
with Morgan, Stanley.
He criticized specifically Ralph
Budd and officers Of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad, and said:
ut is in the interest of security
holders. the railroads, and the pub
lie that the financing in question be
opened up to competitive bidding
In the event that 1t is not, - we
have in our hands an exceptionally
favorable bid from independent
bankers of the highest standing.
This bid must be given the con-

Canada come reports of improved
business conditions sufficient to
change the general commercial pic
ture to a somewhat brighter hue,
the National Association of Pur-

the Nation have shown an increase.
This was coupled with reports of
lower inventories throughout the
United States and Canada. EN-
ployment was said to have increased
in the East and Canada without
losing ground in the Middle West
and West. Buying policy, however,
IN all sections was still gauged to
current needs.
The Improvement has not been
felt in all lines of trade. Some. for
example, reported that in the South
an upturn had been felt since the
low point in April. while others there
reported no pickup.
Minnesota and North Carolina re-
ported brighter prospects because
of agricultural conditions and Tulsa,
Montreal, Baltimore and Buffalo re-
ported definite increases In trade
