July Aided by the double stimulus of expanded railroad traf fe and earnings and constructive legislation, rail stocks have partici. pitted actively in the recent market decisively upswing, and have broken through the resistanco levels formed by the 1932 tops. The major present uncertainty is the apparent necessity for addi- tional reorganizations of certain of the carriers, and conservative in vestment policy at this time 'die tates the weeding out of equity holdings in such situations. At the same time, continued retention of existing commitments in the sounder shares is amply warrant ed, and gradual accumulat 1, in favourable markets, of rec rend.

Official Report Of First Year's Work
GRAVE FALL IN TRADE FIGURES
The report of the Commissioner of Trade and Chistoug for F.M.S. the Hon. Mr. W. E. Pepys states that the year 1932 witnessed a general shrinkage of the trade of practically the whole world, and the value of the trade of the Federated Malay States declined to 60 per cent. of that 'recorded for the previous year.
The majority of commodity prices have also fallen and current market quotations for many pro- ducts are below the cost of produc tion. Until better prices prevail for the tin, rubber an other pro ducts exported from theee Statca, there can be no real improvement in local trading conditions.
The exports and re-exports dur ing 1932 have fallon in value to 888 millions, about a lifth of the value of the exports recorded in 1926 are lower than in any year since 1909, while the value of im

Asia Lands, Limited, has received the following report from their New York correspondents, E. A. Pierce & Co. We think a substantial amount of proft-taking is under way in the so-called "alcohol" stocks and believe that such profit-taking in entirely logical. We also believe that the whole market is somewhere near the top, at least for the time being, but the market is so broad it can have cross currents and contr ary movements in individual issues for some time to come. Wheat. There was a sharp reaction under heavy realising. Support developed later, with large trading on Canadian reports being sensationally bullish. London news was encouraging. Secretary Wallace has announced his intention of effecting acreage curtailment in the coming season. Cotton: The market is narrow, though hew highs have been established with purchases by foreign sud domestic spinners of new speculative accounts The technical position is good with the strength of Sterling the absence of material rainfall infuential factors. Silver: Profit-taking caused a decline following the opening. Later a good commission house demand developed, carrying prices upward for the balance of the day. Foreign and bank selling was absorbed on the advance.. Business Done: 8,590,000 shares.
