Bahks Favor Rate Advances. On the ground that they held upward of $4,700.000,000 in railroad bonds and | equipment trust certificates, life insur- ance companies with assets of $18,900.- 000,000, and mutual savings banks with assets of $10,585,000,000, through their recently formed committee, the “Emer- gency Committee on Railroad Inv ments of Life Insurance Companies and Mutual Savings Banks," filed a petition with the Interstate Commerce Com- mission to intervene in the railroads’ request for an increase of 15 per cent in freight rates These organizations wish to intervene in order to protect their investments, which, in the case of the insurance companies, represent 50,000,000 policy holders and, in the case of savings banks, a total of 12,775,000 depositors. The New York law regulating invest- ments for savings banks prescribes that a company must earn its fixed charges one and one-half times for its bonds 0 be eligible purchases for such banks. The Emergency Committee's petition shows that interest charges of the Class 1 railroads of the country taken to- gether were earned only 2.12 times in the five calendar years ended Decem- ber 31, 1920. In 1930 these charges were earned 1.76 times. Heard in Financial District. Former President Robert N. Harper of the District National Bank is pass- ing the Summer at his estate at Lec: burg.

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, July 14.—Stocks sagged today in the same slow, desultory trad- ing that has characterized the market since the German banking crisis be- came acute. There was this difference, however, between today’s movement and that of Mohday—stocks started in % | today lower, but firm, and then gradu- ally weakened, whereas the order in the preceding session had been the reverse. Opening quotations were not much changed, but the average was down. Thereafter during the morning hours prices slowly reacted as the cable dm- patches told of continued obstacles to extending international help to Ger- many. Selling was not in large volume, but there was no effective buying de- mand either. Weakness in the foreign bond market had an unsettling effect on stocks. At- tention was concentrated on the foreign situation almost exclusively. Domestic business news was mixed In character. The weekly statement of the member banks of the Federal Reurve system showed another increase in “all other loans,” indicating larger demands from business, which was favorable. On the other hand, copper metal was reported as having sold at 7% cents a round duplicating the previous record ow made toward the end of June. American Telephone & Telegraph earn- ings showed $4.89 on the stock for the first six months of the year, against $5.72 & share in the first half of 1930. In the June quarter $2.38 a share was reported, against $2.77 in the same quarter a year ago, all on the average number of share oumhndln? United States Steel, ncuvmlly higher at the start, dropped bac point before midday. American Ttle- phone was off nearly 2 points. Ameri- can Can went lower than at any time on Monday and was unusually sensitive to pressure. General Motors held better than the other standard industrials, although it declined. Union Pacific lsho!’! the largest loss in the railroad ist. There was little evidence of profes- sional operations for the decline. Even with the news from abroad discourag- ing, the bear party hesitated to !Ile‘ an aggressive stand. It was another | demonstration of the fact that stocks | are today in stronger hands than at | any time during the bear market. This would, of course, prevent another large | decline if conditions at home and | abroad warranted it, but it does prevent any unintelligent or hasty liquidation. 'Cfln!l’llhl. 1931). LESS COTTON USED Cotton consumed during June was | announced today by the Census Bureau to have been 455388 bales of lint and 61.433 of linters, compared with 465,770 | and 66,949 in May this year and 405,236 and 59.196 in June last year.
