HOME RAILWAY STOCKS LONDON, June 15. One of the features of recent business on the Stock change has been the steady purchases that have taken place of Home Railway. stocks. It is true that traffic returns still leave much to be desired, but there has been a marked decrease in the deficiency in receipts compared with last year.
Whitsuntide re- turns were of quite a satisfactory character,
suggesting that the special summer faros in the passen- ger service are proving attractive. Junior stocks are now well above the lowest of the year, while the

U.S.A. total decrease in receipts by the four groups was within £70,000 of $3,000,000, and this large deficiency must necessarily have an effect on dividends. On the other hand, changing conditions may have a welcome effect on traffic receipts, any increase in which would be nearly all additions to profits. Much of the economy achieved in the past two or three years should be of permanent character, and a substantial revival in receipts could he experienced with but little increase in expenditure.
"PEIPING SYNDICATE
A debit balance of £14,499 is re- ported by the Peiping Syndicate for the year to June 30, 1932, against credit of £8,000 for 1930-31. After crediting difference in ex change of £5,656 and charging £71,356 for investment deprecia- tion, credit balance of £9,234. brought in from 1930-31 is convert ed into debit of £71,163. As this deficit is due to investment depre. ciation and is not a realised loss, it is carried forward instead of being extinguished by a transfer from reserve.
At the end of last month shout 3 per cent of the depreciation in investments had been recovered.

WHAT IT MEANS Germany's moratorium announce- ment had a very, chilly reception in the City yesterday, largely because the method chosen by Dr. Schacht has at least the appearance of in- volving a breach of specific con- tracts in the case of the Dawes and tha Young Loans. There is every reason, therefore, that British creditors should get together and. organise their position in the impeding discussions with Dr. Schacht. Moves in this direction were on foot yesterday, MA
Since various estimates have been current as to the extent to which this country is involved in a com- plete German moratorium, it may be as well to give the precise figures of the position as it bood on Sep- tember 30, Inst. At that
date
Britain was a creditor of Germany for about 1,000 million marke

Obviously the action of the general list is encouraging to the maintenance of the long position and it may be advisable to consider some profit-taking next week in the event of a last rush to new high grounds Wheat; Strong, on firm cables; the strength of foreign exchange and the reduction of private crop estimates. Inflationary enthusiasm was renewed by the President's refusal to peg the Dollar. Cotton: The improvement in the outaidia. markets, the strength of foreign exchange, continued dryness in Texas "and political developments have been influencing factors in the advance.
