REVENUES JUMP 1936 Total Best Since 1930 and 25 Per Cent Ahead of 1935. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. May 7—Southern Pacific Lines, second biggest railway system of the country, today reported 1936 operating revenues of $204,338, 550, the largest since 1930 and a gain of 25 per cent over 1935. The annual pamphlet report said conditions affecting traffic volume were generally favorable throughout the year, and the Increase in operating revenues resulted principally from a rise of 31 per cent in net-ton miles of revenue freight. Also a factor was a gain of 21.8 per cent in revenue passenger miles of the steam rail lines. Heavier traffic, the report said, was augmented during the last three months of the year owing to interrup tion of steamship service at Pacific ports. Operating expenses increased 19.5 per cent Taxes rose less than 1 per cent. Equipment and joint facility rents increased 32 3 per cent. Net railway operating income totaled $34,086,680, an increase of 71 8 per cent. The upturn In freignt revenues was 25.9 per cent. The emergency freight rate sur charges authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission in April, 1935, and which expired December 31, 1936, produced about $2,570,000 for South ern Pacific Lines, compared with $1, 400.000 in 1935.

BUILDING AND LOAN LEACUE WEATHER SUB RETMBUYING More Uniform Advance Re ported for Week by Dun & Bradstreet. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 7—Trade move ment for the week was more uniform. Dun <fe Bradstreet said today in the weekly trade review'. "Favored by auspicious weather and helped by special clearance events, retail distribution recovered some of the ground yielded in April,” the re port said. "In wholesale market future com mitments were more generous as the price trend turned steadier, and the volume was further enlarged by the most numerous reorders in a month. "Proceeding at full stride, more in dustries were forced to adopt faster operating rates in an effort to ex pedite overdue shipments." Sales for the country as a whole were estimated at from 3. to 6 per cent over last week and 8 to 25 per cent over the 1936 comparative. Sectional increases over last year were: New England, 15 to 20 per cent; East, 12 to 25; Middlewest, 18 to 25; Northwest, 12 to 22; South, 15 to 30, Southwest, 12 to 18, and Pacific Coast, 8 to 16. "Rebound of consumer buying from the more leisurely pace of April was pronounced in most retail divisions. Long postponed requirements were covered generously in women's dresses, millinery, hosiery and shoes," the re view said. “Men's suits sold well, and there was more interest in shirts, under wear and furnishings." Leading in the wholesale field, where the volume increased 18 to 35 per cent over 1936, were orders for women's white coats, cotton dresses and open-crowned millinery. For men: Slacks, sport coats and linen suits. Swim suits and bathing ap parel were more prominent in this week’s orders. Demand continued heavy for farm equipment and builders’ supplies, while industry moved along 25 to 40 per cent above the 1935 comparative. -• NEW YORK BAR SILVER.
