Losses of a point or two from the previous close were recorded in rep= resentative issues. Eastman Kodak sold off, even taking into account the divi- dend that came off the price today, and American Telephone, J. I. Case and Columbian Carbon were substan- tially lower. It is true that the gains were scored today, as on Wednesday and Thursday, mostly at the expense of the shorts; but {1t is also true that at the extreme low: the market had over-discounted evcr: thing that was unfavorable in the trade position. 1t is also true that the liqui- dation which has disturbed the mar- ket far more than any short selling was stimulatzd not by business fears but by First Natlonal Bank and also as a director of the Mechanics' Loan & Sav- ings Bank, both of Hagerst:wn, Md., because of ill health. Mr. Armstrong is now on a European trip to recuper- ate. He suffered a nervous breakdown following an automobfle acc¢ident last December, in which he was badly in- Jured. Last year he was president of the Maryland Bankers' Assoctation. PULLMAN EABNINGS CHICAGO, June 5 (#).—The report of transportation operations of the Pullman Co. today showed April net earnings after taxes of $7,559, com- pared with $165,300 last year. For the first four menths the net, after taxes, was $388,923, compared Wl?h $1,532,198 for the corresponding perfod of 1930.

At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr. McLachlen presented each member Ppresent with an attractive gold paper cufter upon which was engraved the name of the association official, the date and the name of the retiring president. The clever souvenir brought forth hearty applause. During the luncheon the coming con- vention was the subject of much con- versation. On account of the depres- sion the attendance will not be as large as in boom years, but the business and pleasure programs assure a most de- lightful gathering, perhaps the most enjoyable yet held. Reservations are coming in steadily and every detail for the comfort of the delegates and guests has already been arranged.

According to the latest report of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, building permits issued during April in 22 fifth district citles compared very unfavorably with the volume of per- mite issued in April last year, Balti- more being the cnly city to make a really creditable showing for the month, and Baltimore's figures were due in large part to efforts to obtain permits befcre a new zoning ordinance went intd effect on May 1. Permits for new construction issued in the 32 cities last month numbered 2,582, cf which 1,879 were issued in Baltimore. Esti- mated valuation figures for new work totaled $8,712,743 last month, $5,379,- 360 of which was reported from Balti- mote. Only three of the 32 reporting cities showed higher total valuation figures for”all classes of wcrk in April, 1931, than in April, 1930, these being Balti- more, Richmond and Rock Hill, S. C. Richmond’s increase was due to low figures in April, 1930, rather than to high figures last month. Rock Hill's increase was chiefly due to an unusual amount of alteration and-:repair work this year. Contracts actually awarded for con- struction work in the fifth district in April, 1931, totaled $21,936,600, accord- ing to figures collected by the F. W. Dodge Corporation. This figure shows a dacrease of 47 per cent below awards totaling $40.971,884 in April, 1930. Ccn- tracts for residential types cf construc- tion last month totaled $7,434,610, or approx.mately 34 per cent of the whole, compared with about 23 per cent of the Ap:il, 1930, awards going for Tesi- dential work. D. C. Stock Market Active. A good variety cf local securities ap- peared on the board at the Washington Stock Exchange as business closed for the week. Capital Traction came out at 35%, same as yesterday’s closing figure. Merchants’ Transfer & Storage prefer- red figured in a small lot sale at 92, while 100 shares of National Mortgage & Investment preferred changed hands at 47, Mergenthaler Linotype sold ex-divi- dend at 77': and Lanstcn Monctype also appeared on the board, selling at 90. Potomac Electric Power 5% per cent preferred changed hands at 110%5. Two bank stocks were traded in dur- ing_ the session, five shares of Commer- cial National moving at 215 and 10 shares of Riggs National selling at 3701, Durmg the session Washington Elec- tric, Railway & Electric preferred regis- tered 981: Washington Gas bonds were in gcod demand at recent levels and Capital Traction 5s also drew at- tention. The unlisted securitles were called off as usual on Friday, but comparatively few changes were noted in quotations.
