RAIL ISSUES
REPORTED FIRM
Barrage OF World News
Fails To Force
Upset

NEW YORK, Sept. D -HJ|A
barrage of news, mostly from
Washington, barely Jared rail
road issues in the bond market
this week.
Carrier liens on the average
closed Friday a few notches lower
than a week earlier and jYst about
midway between the nigh and low
marks for the year thus far. A
few issues displayed independent
strength.
industrial and utility obligations
trailed a bit lower but activity
as usual centered on the rail-.
Volume totaled S13,258,0O for
the Snort week, compared with
sig, 444, 600 in the preceding week
and S20, 084, 900 a year earlier.
Developments specifically af-
fecting the railways and to
which railroad bonds showed a
notable indifeerence-included:
Tuesday: Some 1000, 900 non-op-
Grating rail employees were
awarded a Is IL cents hourly
wage lift. The roads figured this
would flip their payroll costs up
ward by s430, $40, 900 annually.
Wednesday: The Association Of
American Railroads estimated
class one railroad net income in
july totaled S37, 600, 900 UP S ,30O,-
900 from July last year. For the
first seven months, AAR esti-
mated net at s243, 900, 900, against
S12, 600, 900 in the similar 1916
period.
The association said early 1916
earnings were ''abnormally low
due to continued industrial dis
turbances, and work stoppages.
Thursday: The Pullman CO.,
owned jointly by the railroads,
was granted permission by the In
te~rstate Commerce commission to
increase sleeping car charges l to
1919 per cent.
Friday: Some IS, 900 railway ex-
press workers were allowed a Is
- cent increase.
And the railroads, with a freight
rate request averaging 1877 per
cent only pending, asked the lCC
to allow them to raise charges an
average of 81 per cent. The rails
based their argument on wage
and cost increases.
World Bank bonds slipped to
new lows since issuance earlier
this summer. Dealers attributed
the declines to concern over
events abroad, possibility of an
pther new World Bank loan in the
near future, and the suggestion
from England that we redlstrlbute
pur gold supplies.
In the new financing market
pnly a few deals of any size were
reported. Next week, though,
promised to be another story with
about 5000, 900, 900 corporate and
municipal bond issues scheduled
tor distribution.
Close watch was kept by inves-
tors on the rate of redemption OF
G.I. terminal leave bonds. With
about 81, 500, 900, 600 outstanding, it
was believed possible more than
half would be converted into cash.
An initial rush to convert, how
ever, failed to follow through.
U. S. Treasury announced sew
kral financial deals, including
Terms of the new non-marketable
bonds. The bonds, carrying a p
~ per cent coupon and maturing
tn IS years, will be offered on a
subscription basis. Proceeds will
be used for financing outstanding
Indebtedness.
Little if any market reaction
was anticipated.

Cross-Mation Train Service
Proves Headache For Carriers

through without change nearly 10
months ago.
At that time top passenger Of
ficials said extension of the pro-
gram to operation Of entire trains
would depend On equipment avail
ability and on evidence that de-
mand not only would be sustained
but would be concentrated on spe-
cific schedules.
Part of this test has been met.
Many of the through cars are sold
out well in advance. And the
roads say requests for accommo-
dations are heaviest on the "bet-
ter" trains, those with new equip
ment and fast time schedules.
An idea Of the equipment re-
quired for transcontinental trains
may be gained from the fact that
to sustain one train daily in each
direction the railroads must keep
eight trains in operation.
Thus. for each alternate route
offered to a traveller on a daily
basis, another eight trains must
be added.
A consideration that may delay
the scheduling Of through trains,
even when equipment is some
what more plentiful, is that many
Of the new sleepers, diners and
lounge cars now on order are des-
ignated specifically for service on
intra-line trains.
Since the individual roads are
naturally anxious to provide the
best equipment for their own we'll
advertised luxury trains, these
needs probably will be met before
there is a willingness to contribute
equipment for transcontinental
service.
Another difficulty is that while
the roads can add a through car
or two to a well-known train with
out destroying it's identity, for
several roads to convert entire
trains to transcontinental service
probably would i n volve changing
the names of the trains so con-
verted.
