INCOME INCREASE
REPORTED BY ACL
Net Operating Railway In
come Is $1,l90,706
In January

Continuing its up-trend of the
last three months of the year 1910,
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
company reported its January net
railway operating income for the
month of January just passed was
81, 100, 706 as compared with only
1915, 765 in January of last year.
Some of the tremendous increase
is due, no doubt, to the fact a
freeze in Florida in January OF
last year paralyzed movement OF
freight from that state and hit the
Coast Line revenues hard. In ad-
dition, the National Defense pro-
gram has been of some benefit to
the railroad, which serves nearly
two score national defense prof.
ects on the eastern coast.
The net railway operating in
come of the railroad for the first
month of this year was also well
above that of the first month of
1899, when it totalled but 1897. :
274.
Operating revenues for January
1941 were SIS, 780, ,249 as compared
with 81, 73l, ,906 in January of 1910
and 81, $40, 76l of January 1889.
Operating expenses for January
1941 were $3,851, 534 as compared
with 3,624, 400 in the same month

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-REThe
Hongkong dollar swung upward to
a new peark for 1941 today with
gazing of IA of a cent in terms of

Foreign exchange dealers attrib-

also noted a doWntrend in the Brit
ish pound sterling in relation to
the Hongkong dollar because the
Hongkong unit is usually quoted
in terms of sterling.

in BOND EXCHANGE:

During the Day

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-(R-Bond
market traders centered operations
on few rails and utilities today
IN a session of mixed trends.
Major activity hinged around In

Active buying of U. S. govern
ments shortly after the opening
sent quotations as much as half a
point higher in both the stock ex-
change and over the counter but
this wave ebbed toward noon. All
action on the federals ceased in
the stock exchange and over-the-
counter trading ended at 4 pm,
an hour after the exchange close,
with most treasury prices 1872 and
2-32 point off from yesterday.
The major exception was the
new taxable per cent o 1946-5O,
which closed over-the-counter at
101 4-32 bid and 1O1 6-32 asked,
up 6-32 and 7-32, respectively, from
the previous close.
The Chicago & Eastern Illinois

Army Reserve Members
Who Fail to Report to
Be Classed as Deserters

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-R-
War department officials said to-
day that members of the regular
army reserve who failed to report
for duty by Mach Is would be
dropped from the rolls as desert
ers.
Last December the department
announced that all those reservists
who were without dependents or
essential jobs. would be ordered to
duty in increments prescribed by
corps area commanders. The plan
provided for taking them also into
active service by about February
Is. Those with dependents or hold
ing key positions in essential in
dustries were ordered discharged
from the reserve.
Reservists who do not report and
are dropped as deserters will,
when within the 21-35 age limits,
become subject to registration I'm
der the selective service law. l

new highs for the season today as
strong price trends continued in the

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-R-After
tumbling as much as l IL cents a
bushel today, wheat prices recov-
cred half the loss and closed only
l-2 to 3-4 cent lower than yester-
day. May wheat closed at 80 to 83
l-8 and July at 78 10 to 5-8.
The early decline, which more
than wiped out yesterdays ad-
vance, was attributed to selling
inspired by weakness of securities,
slow flour demand, moisture in
some sections of the winter wheat
belt and trade nervousness because
of Balkan developments, the war
in general ana uncertainty regard
ing the domestic farm program.
When this selling let up after mis-
session prices began to recover
slowly on the strength of short
covering and small scale buying
attributed to mills.
