Light, Power Industry Trade's Bright Spot

MILUOMS 74 3 Q31

BY ALLARD SMITH Executive Vice-President. The Union Trust Company. Cleveland. O. Evidence that the business of the United States as a whole is enjoying a fair amount of activity, despite the fact that some of its largest industries are running at less than half of normal volume, is found in statistics of the electric light and power industry. This industry is peculiar among American industries in that its business touches every activity of life, its customers being found in the home, the store, the municipality and the small as well as the large manufacturing establishment. For the twelve months ending Jan. 31, 1932, the electric light and power industry shows a loss in kilowatt hours sold to the ultimate consumer of only 4.4 per cent from the preceding year and a loss in revenuftf'from ultimate consumers of but cent.

Proof that American standards of living have not been abandoned during a period of financial stress is seen in the figures on domestic consumption. Average annual consumption for each consumer for the year ending Jan. 31 increased 5.5 per cent and the average cost 1.8 per cent. Domestic customers numbered 20,316,675, fully 70 per cent of all the homes in the country being served. This was the largest number in history. The average bill per consumer was $2.80 in 1931. The electric light and power industry. with a plant and equipment value approximating $13,000,000,000, is one of the important industries of the country and in itself has done much to furnish employment and keep money in circulation during the depression period. Its operations furnish a valuable index of the great volume of business which still goes on rv&S when general activity is at a low ebb.

SECURITIES HIT LOWEST PRICES OF BEAR MOVE Unfavorable Developments of Week Past Cause Heavy Selling. BY OTTO E. STURM United Press Financial Writer NEW YORK, April 4 —One blow after another was heaped upon Wall Street during the last week and the stock market tumbled to the lowest levels since the bear movement started in September, 1929. Already depressed by the failure of general business to show any improvement during the first quarter, discouraged holders threw their stocks on the market day after day because of unsettling developments. Most of these, paradoxically, were by way of being efforts to lift the country out of the sloughs of the business depression. What proved most painful to the financial community was the tax bill because it raised the tax on stock transfers to !i of 1 per cent and contained a measure making stock dividends subject to the normal income tax. Wall Street Unimpressed 4 The fact that congress was determined to balance the nation's budget failed to impress Wall Street when it came to levies of this kind and predictions were freely made that, far from creating new revenue. these measures would practically kill business on the Stock Exchange. It was hoped generally that the senate would modify considerably the house tax bill. Another hope that proved a “dud'’ was when an expected “squeeze’’ of the short interest failed to materialize. This was on Friday when the new Stock Exchange ruling requiring the owners' consent to lend stock for short selling went into effect. There was a brief shortage of stock for this purpose, but the premiums were jacked up to such attractive levels that plenty of stock was forthcoming and shorts found it just as easy to borrow shares as ever, if they were willing to pay the price, which apparently they were. Special Groups Pounded Special groups of stocks were pounded hard by developments affecting their respective industries. Rails were prominent in this category, being subject to heavy selling on indications that future loans from the reconstruction finance corporation will not be so easyt o obtain. Missouri Pacific common and preferred led the reaction in the carrier shares, most of which slumped to new lows for the bear market. New York Central finished the week 3% points lower at 23%, while wide losses were displayed by Rock Island, Erie, Nickel Plate, Frisco and others. Motors and public utilities were in large supply, the former on prospects of a price war among companies in the low-priced field and the latter because of fears that a downward revision in rate was in prospect. Motors Hit New Low General Motors touch anew low and closed at 15, off 1%, while Auburn went through its usual pyrotechnics, finishing more than 19 points lower. Electric Power and Light, American Power and Light, United Corporation and others dropped sharply, while American Telephone and International Telephone came back somewhat late in the week. Steel, General Electric, Westinghouse. American Can, Du Point, Allied Chemical and other industrial leaders were off 1 to 4 points at the end of the week. A popular exception to the general trend was Alaska Juneau Gold Mining, which closed more than 2 points higher at 16Vi, on the relative increase in value of gold because of the deflation in stocks and commodities.

PENNSY GROSS INCOME OFF 21 1-2 PER CENT Dividends of 6i£ Per Cent Paid During 1931. By Times Special NEW YORK. April 4.--Setting forth the result of the company's operations in 1931, the eighty-fifth annual report of the Pennsylvania railroad, made public today, shows that net income amounted to $19,545,194. the equivalent of 2.97 per cent on the capital stock or $1.49 a share of SSO par value. Expenses were reduced during the year by nearly $75,000,000, but gross income, reflecting the continued low level of business activity in the country, declined more than $122,000,000, a drop under the previous year of 21.5 per cent. “Considering the conditions existing during the year,” W. U. Atterbury, president, comments, “the net results, while not satisfactory, were better than those attained by railroads generally.” The company's stockholders received dividends aggregating $42,6J4.591. but part of this sum. which was equal to 6Vi per cent or $3.25 a share, was provided out of surplus. Last year the Pennsylvania became the first railroad in the United States to pass the billion dollar mark in aggregate dividend payments. ADMITS FALSE ALARMS Juvenile Court Weighs Fate of Boy Who Called Firemen. Juvenile court authorities today are considering the case of a 15-year-old boy arrested Saturday night by police after two false fire alarms had beep sounded. One alarm was phoned from the home of Mrs. J. A. Fay. 343 North Elder avenue. She told police the boy asked to use the phone and spent a nickel to make the call. The other alarm was turned in from a box. The boy is said to have admitted his guilt and also that he phone police regarding “a bad accident” which did not occur.

In the Cotton Markets

(Bv Thomson & McKinrton) The cotton market was a tame affair this morning with the trade doing little and local traders bearish on lower security prices. There was nothing in the news except references to the attempts being made to restrict production among southern mills. As the week closes, better weather in the south shows on the map. Prices at noon were eight points lower. The market had no particular tone, being easily influenced either way by orders. We see no reason for changing our opinion of cotton. We realize that the public is too uncertain about political developments to take a great interest in cotton so early in the season but for this same reason, it might easily be that such low prices exist.

BRAIN FUTURES SHOW WEAKER TRADING RANGE Opening Is Easy on Failure of Cables to Follow Advance. BY HAROLD E. RAINVUJLE United Press Staff Corresnondeat CHICAGO, April 4.—Failure of Liverpool to respond fully to the sensational rise here Saturday gave wheat an easy opening on the Board of Trade today. The English market had a good advance on on improved demand and better feeling, however. There was fair support at the start, but some profit-taking and scattered selling. Corn was nearly steady with wheat. Oats wm dull and easy. At the opening wheat was unchanged to % cent lower. Corn was unchanged to % cent lower and oats J s cent lower. Provisions were very slow, but steady. Liverpool opened higher, but not as much as expected, and by midafternoon was only 1% to 1% cents up. The strength in wheat toward the close last week rallied corn, and almost all of that grain's losses were recovered. Corn Is depending almost solely on the strength in wheat for advances, due to the admittedly bearish cash and statistical position. Oats also took strength from wheat last week. Seeding is progressing rapidly in the southwest, but is offset by the cash demand, which is better for oats thatn for corn. Chicago Grain Range —April 4 WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. 11:08. Close.
