NEW YORK. Sept. 25.—Lower
priced rail loans grabbed leadership
of a generally firm bond market
today.
Buyers, tempted by news of
steadily growing carrier traffic, lift
ed many of these issues as much
as 2 points near the start of the
last hour.
Heavy gains in loans of Belgium
put backbone in the foreign division.
Government 7s shot up about 12
points on substantial turnover, fur
ther erasing last week's declines.
While losses were in the major
ity among United States Govern
ments, prices did not move very far
despite transfer of big blocks of the
Treasuries. Federal Farm Mortgage
3s of '49-’44 dropped 22-32 of a point,
but other losses were much less.
Favored in the corporate section
were such issues as Baltimore &
Ohio convertible 4>2S, Mobile &
Ohio 4'is. St. Paul 5s, Great North
ern 4s of 46 “G," Pittsburgh &
West Virginia 4'2s of '58 ‘'A,” Frisco

A
Building Industry
Expected to Show
Jump in Profits
Goins for Nine Months
To Exceed Those for
All of 1938
■pedal Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—For the
full year 1939 a substantial improve
ment in profits for the building and
construction Industry is forecast In
Poor’s Industry and investment sur
veys. Net income for the first six
months registered a sharp Increase
above the operating results for the
corresponding period of 1938. The
earnings reports for the third quar
ter should also reveal gains. In fact,
the earnings gains shown for the
first nine months will exceed those
recorded in the 12 months of 1938.
"During coming months, total con
struction contracts are expected to
remain below the figure of a year
ago. largely reflecting a decline in
public works,” continues Poor's fore
cast. “Then, too, the European war
is likely to discourage many indus
trialists from contemplated build
ing projects, at least until they can
appraise more accurately its effects
on their business. On the other
hand, the anticipated revision of our
present neutrality legislation, when
effected, should stimulate some in
dustrial construction in order to
meet the needs of belligerents.
“The postponement of projects on
the part of potential home owners,
as a result of the uncertainties ac
companying the European war, may
be offset largely by the speeding up
of building plans in other quarters
in anticipation of higher material
and labor costs. Moreover, a con
siderable amount of residential
building js likely to be undertaken
for investment purposes—as a hedge
against any prospective depreciation
in purchasing power, in addition,
the United States Housing Author
ity's slum-clearance program is also
expected to contribute materially
toward the maintainance of resi
dential building at high levels. The
progress has been delayed consid
erably, but acceleration of work on
such projects is expected to take
place during the coming months.
“Although no marked increase in
building material and labor costs is
anticipated for the immediate term,
the prolongation of the European
war would threaten to raise costs
in the construction field as well as
in industry n general. A further
increase in labor costs in the build
ing industry may thus be witnessed,
despite the f,ct that wages in this
field are already at a level which
undoubtedly has kept building ac
tivity from rising to higher levels.”

Decision of County
Court Reversed in
Columbia Gas Case ^
By the A**octat«4 Preaa. -yl
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 36.—The
Pennsylvania Supreme Court today
upheld the State franchise tax on
out-of-State corporations, which
has netted $21,000,000 for the State
since its enactment in 1935. —
The decision reversed the Dauphitv
County Court. Chief Justice JohQ
W. Kephart ordered the record rer.
turned to the State Department of*
Revenue to resettle the tax against3
the Columbia Gas 6c Electric Corp.t*
which had challenged the act. 8
The law imposed a tax of 5 miUa.
on the “taxable value” of foreign?
corporations doing business in*
Pennsylvania and set up procedure*
to determine that value for Penn**
sylvania taxing purposes.
Columbia charged the tax wai*
discriminatory and asserted it im-v
paired the “obligation” of the State
to foreign corporations. The Com?*
monwealth argded the tax was a'i
levy on out-of-State corporations
for the privilege of doing business
in Pennsylvania. -’i
Justice Kephart said in his opin-A'
ion:
“The result of the act’s operation*
is not so obviously wrong and so oulT
of proportion to the business done1'
and property within the State tha<*
it can be said to be confiscatory of '1
discriminatory compared with simii’!
lar domiciliary corporations. In the
light of this opinion, there is no im^*
position or unjust burden on this*
foreign corporation (Columbia),”
