EXPRESS RATES TO BE REDUCED Lower Tariff Ordered for Seattle Fruit and Fish A reduction averaging better than 11 per cent in express rates on fresh fish and fresh frult from Seattle to faterlor banks has just been granted in an order by tho Interstate com- merce commission, The reduction followed a long fight by the Seattie Chamber of Commerce. The reductions will mean many thousands of dollars to Puget sound shippers, it is stated by experts. Hundreds of tons of fresh fish go Bast every year, and four or five carloads go to New York city every day, An extensive market for fresh berries and other fruits has existed ELUESLEY HILLS, Maas. Dec. 15,— Roger W. Babson has Just completed a survey of the equipment indus. try. His find. ings, summarized in ® statement issued toda: of vital Interest to Investors, “Tho recovery in business con- ditions early this Big Year, Babson Says No Appreciable Lull in Immediate Future, Says Statistician in the East, so that the rate on BABSON year, combined these two products has been an im- with Increasing portant item. Prosperity of the railroads, has Heretofore Puget sound shippers ‘and growers have been able to com- pete with nearer producers in East- ern markets because of the superior size and quality of the Sound fish and berry. Reduction in express rates will, without doubt, mean that the Eastern markets for these two important products will be greatly expanded. Typical of the reductions to other points, the rates to New York city are changed as follows: Carload fish, now $4.28 a hundred, reduced So $3.82; less than carload, $7.88 re- luced to $7.03. Carload fruit, $4.28, rut to $3.82; less tran carload, $5.64, cut to $5.04, ‘ Under the commission's order, the mew rates are to be put into’ effect on or before February 21, 192 saree Se a New Issue of Hupp Stock Authorized NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—Directors ‘of Hupp Motors have authorized the issuance of 342,678 shares of, treas- ury stock, an increase of 60 per cent / figure of Dver present outstanding {ssue.

Increased efficiency of operation, \ combined with large deliveries of rolling stock, have permitted the ratiroads to handle the record car loadings of 1923 without difficulty, “Last April the car service divis- fon of the American Rallway Asse- clation set up a goal for the rail Toads to meet by October, namely, a reduction of bad order cars to & ber cent, and of locomotives await. ing heavy repairs to 15 per cent. The mark was passed shortly before the time designated. “The result of this situation, to- gether with heavy deliveries of new rolling stock and Increased efficien- cy of operation generally, has been off large amounts for depreciation and put plants in A-L mechanical shape and increase quick assets to such levels that. substantial divi: dends can bo paid out for somo time even in’ the face of falling earning power, This situation has really mado-a. very definite and fundamental change in the position of equipment companion in general, “No stocks will indefinitely fol tow a’ trend contrary to current earning power, and the future of these issues from the market stand: point obviously depends on their ability to earn a substantial return on current busines: Because of the situation outlined, however, It would take long periods of very poor earnings before the stocks con- cerned could well be expected to re turn to pre-war levels. “There seems room for continued reasonable earning power “ith con- tinued growth of the country and so long a# the railroads are per: mitted to make a satisfactory re turn, Future market movements should find the standard eauip- menta recetving thelr share of fav. erable attention, Considering tho various factors discussed, together with the long-time trend of com- modity prices, however, there is certainly no reason for belief that these stocks will be an exception ket."
