Wall Street Fear Expressed That New Deal Means End of Huge Profits. BY R M.PII HF.NDERSHOT
Timn Special | lusnal Hritft DESPITE the fact that Its gross earnings in June were about 51. 000 .000 in excess of those for the corresponding month of last year, the Baltimore Ac Ohio railroad reports a drop In net returns of about $350,000 The company has sold a bond issue to a Wall Street banking bouse, and from all accounts it is
ilrndershot
With about SIOO 000.000 in the same quarter of 1033 Yet its net earnings for the period were about SIOOO,OOO less than last year. Consolidated Gas’ net dropped more than $4,500,000 in the second quarter-of this year in the face of a decline of leas than a million dollars in the amount of money taken in during the period in gross earnings. mam THE earnings of the three companies cited can not be regarded as a cross section of corporate j results in this country, and in all i probability the causes of their poor i showing in net results as compared with gross arc not the same. Yet ] students of industrial developments regard them as significant. Some go e\en so far as to say that they provide evidence that business is not going to be allowed to make big profits under the New Deal irre- 1 epective of the efforts corporate | managements put into their work. It is this type of fellow who has turned against securities in general and common stocks in particular. What does it matter, he asks, how many cars General Motors can sell if they can not turn a fair share of the proceeds of these sales into earnings? Suppose business does take a turn for the better—how is; that going to help the security i holder? ana XJ O practical man will argue i. w against the statement that profits and the hope of profits constitute the ignition system of the business machine. Common sense j tells us. and experience confirms the i fact, that the wheels of trade will not turn for long unless ample returns are held out as an inducement. But your correspondent has witnessed nothing in the New Deal to indicate that its sponsors have any idea of forcing our corporations to abandon their aim of reasonable profits. It is true they were asked to raise wages, but that was to meet an emergency situation, and it was hoped thereby to increase purchases and stimulate business. Moreover, it appears that steps are on foot to afford labor a more equitable proportion of corporate earnings, but it is conceivable that that might give stability to business.

STOCK VALUES DROP SLIGHTLY IN DULL TRADE Auto Shares Firm Despite Weakness in Other Groups. BY MAX BUCKINGHAM I mt.d Preu financial Writer NEW YORK. July 31—Stocks held fairly active today, with prices little changed from the previous close, turned dull and dipped slightly from the opening levels. Utilities were weaker than other groups. Consolidated Gas opened at 27 off \ point and within V* point of its low. Columbia Gas and United Gas Improvement made mall declines. Standard Gas. an exeeption, opened 1,!00 shares at 8, up Vi. United States Steel opened at 34’i off and eased further subsequently. Small losses were noted in such issues as American Smelting, International Nickel, Montgomery Ward, Sears Roebuck. Westinghouse Electric. Kennecott, Anaconda, Radio, Consolidated Oil, and Alaska Juneau. American Telephone and Western Union were easier in the communications. Automobile issues made small gains with General Motors at 26%. and Chrysler at 33%. Farm equipments firmed, as did some of the mils and special issues. A number of stocks, including Standard Oil of New Jersey, Texas Corporation, General Electric, United States Smelting and United Aircraft, were unchanged. There was nothing in the news to affect the market. Wall Street, however, was carefully watching the German situation, and there was said -to be a possibility of new fireworks in the mar net in the event of new developments now anticipated
not going so well. The gov eminent, however, has agreed to take up all the bonds which are not bought by investors. Gene r a 1 Motors reports net sales in the three months ended June 30 of more than $300,0 0 0.0 00, as eo m p a r e and

Government Bank Activities to Cover Exports to Most Countries. BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY United Pres* Financial Correspondent WASHINGTON. July 31.—New steps to recover part of America's $13,500,000,000 foreign trade now shrunk to $3,000,000,000 were taken by the federal government today with expansion of facilities of its second export-import bank of Washington. Activities of the government bank. George N. Peek, its president, revealed today, have been extended to coer exports to all countries of the world except the Soviet Union where activities are being handled by the first export-import bank. The financing program is closely associated with the administration's reciprocal trade agreements now being negotiated with several foreign countries. In addition to ar. expansion of the second export-import bank, peek disclosed that credit risks as high as 75 per cent may be shared with American exporters of fabricated goods in financing sales abroad. Interest Rates Van' Operations of the bank, a government organization with an unlimited supply of government cash. Peek indicated, would “put American nationals on the same competitive basis with those of other countries in seeking outlets for their goods.” Exporters desirous of securing government credit aid are to operate through regular banking channels which in turn will submit proposals to the export-import bank, which may make available credits running fro mless than 180 days to five years at varying interest rates Peek said about 1,200 inquiries, mostly from Americans, have been received by the bank. These involve sale of merchandise to twentysix foreign countries. He refused to comment upon the prospective business, the nature of the commodities to be sold or exchange, nor the countries of their destination. Barter arrangements similar to the recent exchange of American wheat for Brazilian coffee might be made. Peek said, but the principal consideration in financing of exports will be the credit of the exporter and the security for the transactions. Share Credit Risks ‘‘The main emphasis in the new work of the export-import bank,” Peek said, "will be on financing the seller in this country. We will, wherever possible, supplement the activities of existing export and import credit facilities rather than compete with them. “In exceptional cases of fabricated articles we are proposing to share in the credit risks on a basis in no case exceeding 75 per cent of the total credit or the net delivered costs, whichever is lower; but we will consider each case separately. “Finally, I would remind the public at large that the operation of this bank will be carried on in line with a definite knowledge, in so far as we are able to obtain it. of the current incoming and outgoing accounts of the United States. I believe in assisting our foreign trade, but I also believe in making sure we get paid for it.”
