NEW YORK, September 1 (P).— The combination of circumstances which made 1926 an exceptionally prosperous year for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, has not reap- peared in 1927, says W. B. Storey, president. “During the remainder of " | the year our trafic and earnings will show declines from 1926. Loadings are considerably off from last year. It now looks as iIf Kansas will have ess than 100,000,000 bushels of wheat. The crop is badly off in the Texas Panhandle territory served by us and the movement of wheat from that section to date is not half that of last year. PIG IRON CHEAPER. GRAPE RUSH EXPECTED. Heavy California Shipments About to Begin—East’s Crop Light. CHICAGO, September 1 (#).—The big rush of California grape ship- ments is about to begin. From 3,000 to 5,000 carloads a week are expected at the start, with the amount gaining continuously during all of September. An estimate today from the Govern- ment Bureau of Agricultural Eco- nomics puts the California production this seafon at 10 per cent more wine grapes than last year and 27 per cent more table grapes. In contrast, Mid- western and Eastern grapes are a light crop this season, about 30 per cent less than last ye: BUS COMPANIES FORMED. NEW YORK, September 1 (#.— Twelve bus operating companies were fincorporated in the United States in August, three of which were capitalized at $100,000 or more, Bus Transportation reports. Outstanding in the group was the Independent Coach Co., a $200,000 corporation of TRADE IN LARGE VOLUME. NEW YORK, September { (P).—The commonly used measures of business activity continue to indicate the ex- istence of some slack in varicus branches of production and distribu- tion, says the National City Bank of New York. Iron and steel and auto- mobile manufacturing are substan- tlally lower than a year ago and trade generally presents a more uneven ap- pearance than in August last year, when a recovery was well under way from a perlod of hesitation in the Spring and early Summer. It {s clear, however, that business in the aggre- gate continues in very large volume. —_— CHECK UP ON BORER DRIVE. A check up on corn borer infesta- tion In the area covered by this year’s $10,000,000 control campaign in Ohio, Michigan, New York, Indiana and Pennsylvania is being made by the De- partment of Agriculture to obtain a comparison with the infestation in 1926.
