CAPITAL TRANSIT
11-Month Total of $2,162
Compares With $385,855
in 1935 Period.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.
Total net income of the Capital
Transit Co. in the first 11 months of
1936 amounted to $2,162.85, compared
with $385,855.38 in the like period in
1935, a decrease of $383,692.53, or 99.4
per cent, according to the November
financial statement filed with the
Public Utilities Commission this noon.
While operating revenues in the 11
months revealed a gain of more than
$951,000, or 11 per cent, operating
expenses mounted still faster, with an
Increase of $988,864.39, or 15 per cent,
the figures revealed. Taxes were 10
per cent higher than last year and
depreciation up 32 per cent, the latter
showing an increase of $226,924.36.
Revenue passenger traffic during
the 11 months disclosed a very sub
stantial increase. The number of rev
enue passengers carried by the transit
company totaled 155.233.893. against
138.689,503 in the comparable period
In 1935, a gain this year of 16,544.390,
or 11.9 per cent.
Net income in November totaled
$5,249.33. against $11,290.10 in No
vember, 1935, a decrease of $6,041.77,
or 53.5 per cent, today's report
showed.
Retail Trade Still Below 1929.
Climaxed by Christmas selling closely
approaching the 1929 volume, retail
sales during the year 1936 will total
between $37,500,000,000 and $38,000,
000.000. an increase of about 14 per
cent over 1935. but still 24 per cent
under the 1929 total, according to pre
liminary estimates announced by the
American Retail Federation, in the
National Press Building.
Statistics gathered by Federal Re
serve Banks, Department of Com
merce and other recognized agencies
registered material increases each
month in 1936 over 1935, and the
Thanksgiving-Christmas sales, which
taxed the selling capacities of many
stores, lifted the closing months to
high levels and boosted the year's
total. Sales during November and
December are expected to reach
$8,000,000,000. Sales in those two
months in 1929 totaled about $8,700,
000.000.
Estimates based on statistics for the
first 11 months of 1936. supplemented
by regional reports on December busi
ness. show that the dollar value of
food store sales in 193S was within 20
per cent of the 1929 total; general
merchandise group within 21 per
cent; apparei, 30 per cent; automo
tive, including filling stations. 20 per
cent; furniture-household, 45 per cent;
lumber-builriing-hardware. 40 per cent;
drug stores, 22 per cent, and jewelry
stores within 45 per cent of the 1929
sales volume.
Department store sales in 1936 were
Within 17 per cent of the 1929 total,
variety stores within 7 per cent and
catalogue sales of mail-order estab
lishments within 9 per cent. On
tonnage or quantity basis, merchan
dise sold in 1936 will approach the
1929 total on account of lower price
levels.
The trend of most retail buying in
dexes during the last three months
fif 1936 has more sharply advanced
than in the preceding months, the
Federation statement said, indicating
continued gains in the early months
Of 1937.

NEW YORK, December 28 —Stocks
ran into difficulties today after se
lected market issues had been given
an early lift of fractions to 2 or more
points.
While some of the oils, rails, air
crafts, rubbers and specialties man
aged to hold moderate gains, the
downward drift elsewhere helped to
discourage bidders. Near the fourth
j hour prices were ragged.
Wall Street analysts again pointed
to cross-currents having to do with
year-end selling to establish both
profits and losses for Income tax re
turns.
Share orders over the three-da”
holiday piled up sufficiently to keep
! the ticker tape unusually busy for the
j first half hour. The volume then
began to dwindle as leading stocks
were offered on a declining scale.
Ahead during the greater part of
; the proceedings were Standard Oils of
New Jersey and California. Plymouth
i Oil. Amerada, Shell Union. Pure Oil,
Santa Fe, New York Central. Seaboard
Airline preferred. New Haven preferred,
Douglas Aircraft, Boeing, United Air*
j craft. United States Rubber. Goodyear,
National Lead, Anaconda. Greyhound
Corp.. Pittsburgh Screw & Bolt and
Yellow Truck.
! Down as much as a point or so
most of the time were Sears Roebuck,
Montgomery Ward. Woolworth, Macv,
I Chrysler, General Motors, American
Telephone, Consolidated Edison. United
States Smelting and Continental Can.
Backward also were United States
Steel, Bethlehem. General Motors,
. Nash, North American, Westinghoust,
General Electric. Du Pont and Borden.
The rails, on the whole, performed
to the liking of shareholders. Capacity
pasenger traffic for many of the roads
j in the past several days was seen as A
cheerful straw in the wind. In addi
■ tion. year-end earnings of the larger
| transportation systems were placed
at the highest since 1929 with net
| operating receipts expected to top th«
| 1935 period by at least 35 per cent.
CANADIAN TRADE
GAINS 14 PER CENT
Bank of Montreal Review for 10
Months Predicts Further
Progress in 1937.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
MONTREAL, December 28.—The
Canadian business level has risen
! roughly 14 per cent from the begin
I ning of 1936 to the end of October,
according to the current monthly busi
ness summary of the Bank of Mon
treal.
“The outlook for the coming months
' is propitious." the bank reports. "Noth
in? resembling a spectacular boom
is in progress, but improvement
has been visible in almost every line
of economic activity, and it is signifi
cant that business failures in the first
nine months of this year fell to the
lowest point of the past 16 years.
Among additional favorable Cana
dian business conditions, the bank
states that most manufacturing firms
have ample orders in hand which
promise to keep plants well employed
throughout the Winter: primary iron
and steel industries' operations are
maintained at a good level; automo
bile production for November was
5.451 units more than October: com
modity prices remain remarkably
stable, but the tendency is slightly
upward, chiefly as the result of a
further sharp rise in the price of
wheat and other grains.
