The council of administration of the
District Bankers' Association will meet
next Monday, one of the most lmpor- i
tant matters facing settlement being
the place of holding the next annual

decide the matter pust yet as a large
amount of detailed information has to
be available from many different
sources The general convention chair
man. E. J McQuade. is collecting data
as rapidly as possible and the other
bankers are awaiting his report with
wide interest. The other chairmen of
the subcommittees are selecting ‘heir
assistants and the full committees will
soon be announced.
I'tilities and Rails Compared.
Ability of the power companies to
make money even when general busi
ness is depressed is demonstrated by a
compilation as to 1927 revenues of 95
representative companies made by the
Department of Commerce. This shows
that utility gross earnings, exclusive of
those of telephone and telegraph com
panies. increased about $120,008,000 in
1925 or 6 per cent, in contrast with a
decline of 4 per cent in railroad gross
operating revenues.
Net earnings of the power companies
increased approximately $30,000,000
i or 4 per cent, while net operating in
come of the railroads declined 12 per
cent.

The General Motors Corporation for
1927 reports a new record in profits and
; saies. Net earnings of $235,104,826,
! after deducting losses of subsidiaries
and preferred and debenture dividends,
are equal to $12.99 a share on the com
mon and compare with $194,645,462. or
I $10.90 a share, for 1926. calculated on a
comparable basis. Sales, excluding all
intercompany items, totaled $1,269,519-
673. a gain of $211,366,335. or 20 per
cent, over the previous year.
There were manufactured and sold
at retail to users at home and abroad,
through branches, distributors and deal
ers. 1.554.577 cars. This exceeded all
previous records by 338.751 cars and
showed an increase of 27.9 per cent over
1926.
Dividends paid on the common stock
in 1927 aggregated $135,836,081, of
which £73,939,478 were regular and
860.896.603 were extra payments. The
latter included $42,500,000 extra paid

ance of $29,104,167 by the sale of $25.-

WAVE OF SELLING
HITS STOCK MARKET
Prices Recede While Press
ure Continues, but Rally
Follows.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
SpTviril l)!«i>aU'h to Th® Star
WALL STREET. New York, Febru
ary 17.— Today's stock market was sub
jected to another wave of selling
Prices receded almost uniformly while
the pressure was at Its height, but when
it was lifted a rally ensued. Once again
the long-predicted wide-open break did |
not come. ~ .
The important news was all favor
able. The General Motor report was |
better than had been expected, and
there was a decrease in brokers' loans,
small, but still a decrease. Initial quo
tations were a shade higher General
Motors made up the $1.25 dividend
which came off the price today, and
there were other fractional gains. The
improvement, however, was short lived.
Heavy selling set in before the session
was a half hour over.
Loss of Previous Gains.
Standard stocks and specialties were
atfectcd alike. Steel and General Motor
sold off, the former below 143. From
the high point of Tuesday the price
was off more than 3 points. General
Motors lost most of its early gain. Free
port Texas had another sinking spell.
The copper stocks sold off with the
rest. Chile Copper went down nearly
2 points Greene Cananea and Ameri
can Smelting and Refining also gave
! way. In the steel list Vanadium started
j in up over a point, but met proflt-tak
! ing subsequently. It was still one of the
best acting of the steels
Other stocks to record lasses Included
National Biscuit, off 4 points at 166;
Brooklvn Edison, down as much around
' 229; Montana Power. Allied Chemi
cal. Montgomery Ward and General
Electric.
Rails Relatively Steady.
The rails were relatively steady. Union
Pacific again gave a good account of
itself apparently forecasting some spe
cial development. Seaboard stocks con
tinued soft. New Haven was offered
in large blocks at a concession of a
point or so and Southern Pacific drop
ped below 120.
Money renewed at 4% per cent, the
same as on Thursday. The belief was
widespread among speculators that the
Federal Reserve authorities would like
to see the market go lower. Bankers
were said to be disappointed that the
reaction so far had not appreciably di
minished the total of brokers' loans.
The average trader was disposed to
stand aside and await developments.
With thus feeling so prevalent it was
remarkable that the market held as well
‘ as it did.
PRICES ON PARIS ROTJRSE.
PARIS. February 17 (4>>.—Prices
