tional stock price rises have
been in penny" stocks; the
upswings in many of the So
called glamour" issues have
been spurred by suspicious
rumors.
Once again stock prices have
been bid UP to dizzying heights
and as a result the income
available on dividends from
most stocks at today's prices is
less than that available from
highest-grade bonds. This up
side-down relationship between
returns on stocks and on bonds
existed in 1929.
In 1929, for instance, a buyer
OF stocks could obtain, on aver
age, an annual return of 3l5
per cent against an average an
nual return of AZ per cent on
high grade bonds. In most
years since. stock yields have
topped bond yields. In mid
summer. though, the return
from stocks was down to
around 8 per cent, the return
from high-grade bonds up to
around Az per cent. The
spread is striking.
Once again, the stock market
has been going through some
sharp price slumps. Between

Class ! Railroads
Net Earnings
Slump in August

Net income of the Nations
Glass l rail systems shrank to
an estimated $26 million in Au-
gust, rejecting the full impact
of the steel strike which start
ed in mid-July, the Association
of American Railroads reported
today.
This compared with $81 mil
lion earned in the same month
last year and $50 million
earned in August, 1857.
Hardest hit by the August
showdown were the Eastern
railroads, which reported an
overall net deficit of IS million
for the month. Western car
riers estimated they had a net
income of $24 million and
Southern lines showed an esti-
mated 81 million net for Au-
gust.
Because of the high level o.
freight loadings in the months
preceding the steel strike, the
industry's net income for the
first eightm moths of 1859 was
estimated at $685. million. COM
pared with a net of 1896 mil
lion in the corresponding peri
cd of last year, and $475 mil
lion in the first eight months
of 1857.
Class railroads are those
having So million or more OPP
expenses annually. Net
income is the amount remain
ing after operating expenses
and allowances for fixed
charges, including taxes.
The AAR said that during the
first eight months of this year,
operating revenues of Glass /
railroads increased IA per cent
and operating expenses rose 40
per cent, c"mnared with the
same period in 1858.
The association said that in
the IL months ending August,
1859. the railroads rate Of re-
turn. based on investment,
averaged 3.16 per cent.

down 80 TO so per cent from
their l958-5o tops.
And once again there is tre-
mendous public interest in
stocks and there is talk of a
new era" Of permanent pros
perity. Once again money is
tight-the tightest since 1929
and the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn is clamping down on cred
it in an effort TO curb the busi-
ness upswing.
Because of the parallels on
this anniversary, I've been dig
ging into the story beneath Wall
Streets surface. But while /
can foresee painful stock price

The Office has its headquar-

of American business. it is plan
ming bigger and better exhibits.
The age-old trade fairs, held in
various parts of the world. have
become big arenas in which the
Soviet and its satellites boast
Of their wares and way of life.
ShOwmanship Employed
To counter this, the Ameri-
cans are bringing in the latest
of this Nations products, stere-
ophonic sound, scientific dem
onstrations to hold the crowds
attention and the use of ami
nation and good old SNOWMAN
ship. This contrasts with the
showcase approach by the So
Wet bloc, officials said.
About IA American exhibits
are held annually at the trade
fairs. officials said they had
to turn down as many as SO
invitations, because of limited
funds. The officials here-State
Department, United States In
formation Agency and Com

best locations for telling the
American story.
Since 1854 the Office has par
ticipated in 80 trade fairs in

lean businesses and industries
have participated and it is esti-
mated that more than so mil

no trading over the counter at

there and follow-up orders
come in to the exhibitors.
