T r V Father of Waters Asain Arterv of A u Transportation Government Barge Line Proves Mississippi River Can Be Used as Traffic Carrier at Profit. , Br HOLLAND. For once at least the United Slates government hat made money in a bujiiiesi enterprise which it started when the war wan in nrogrei. Ac curate figure obtained by the Manu facturers Record of Baltimore show that the government barge line n the lower Mississippi river from St. Louis to New Orleans earned in five months of this year, beginning with April, S257.IXX) more than it cost to operate 4his line. These are mo mentous figures for they dem onstrate that once more the Mis sissippi river has become one of the great arteries of transportation as it was until railroad competition im paired it. Th. Mlaalaalppt tnd th Hudann hav at. way been chief la waterway tranaporla ton In th United Ptates, running (rom th north lo th south, and both mply log Into th es. For many year, how ever, attar railroad., waterway cradually fell oft upon th Mlailaalppl It termed to bav permanently ndd. In 1862. which was tha year whan traffic hy meana of th allaalaalppl waa at Ita helsht, a llttl over SOS atramboata found thair northern teimina! at HI. Louie, each boat capable of accepting a load of ts tona and that waa thought a great achievement. But th government Mlaalaalppt bur lie line which move fleet, each of which ha 2o,0o tnna capacity, ha handled mora freight In and out of St. I.ouia on th river to th five month alnc April 1 of this yaar than waa handled by all th steamboat In ina enure year or IS5J. Thl haa been don at a profit and th aucceaa of thla entarprla Initiated by th government I regarded a making It certain that th Mlaalaalppt valley, which I bltected by the river extending to Bt. Paul, taking In th Mtaaourl, th Ohio and th Illinois rlvera, la aur to become th center of on of th greateat tranaportatlona move ment In th United State. For many year th belief waa main tained that aa a tranaportation carrier ex. reptlng for eome araall craft the Mlle aippl river had hud It day. Yet th Euro, pean war compelled th government to take advantage of every active or Inactive tranaportation facility, Th government officer conaldered th Mlaalaalppt and dla. covered that the river's current waa about four mllea an hour and thl over the 1 nrn mllea between Mew Orleana and St. Louli, Need of Tranaportation. Nevertheless th government, facing thia obatacle, decided to quicken the Mlealaaippi Into new life, but to do thl It waa com pelled to build a vaat amount or equip ment. . Th cement Industry before th European war began had already utilised with aucceefl th upper allssisaippl be tween St. Paul and St. I.ou',s. But thl traftlo waa a trifle In comparlaon with that which the government Bought to secure. Congress aided the government by enacting a law whereby th Interstate Commerc commission can forbid the rall- road from making rates upon the line which parallel the navigable rlvera so small aa to put river competition to an ,nd. Th government barge line also se cures a differential of 20 per cent under railroad ratca. Thla barge line haa saved shippers In the five months slnoe April 1 1175,000. The total river tonnage at St. Louis In 186! aa reported by the Manufacturers Record waa nearly 845,000. Th gov ernment barge line will have thla fall a capacity of 1,600,000 tons. On Immediate effect of the demon stration made by the government that It Is possible to transport heavy traffic up and down the Miaalsslppl and to do It at a profit, whlls at the una time there I a eavlng for the shippers, is shown by the utilization Chicago is now making of this barg line. Both Chicago and St. Loula have learned that they can easily compete with the eastern seaboard for trade upon the Pacific coast by way of the Panama canal If they utilise these waterways which the government Is now so aucceaatully operating upon. The government officer wondered at first whether It would be possible to se cure profit-earning freight both ways, that la to ay, that which Is delivered at St. Louis or other polnta for New Orleana or the Pacific coast and on the other hand gain equally profitable return freignt. But in the five months since April 1 it ha been found that the movement of freight both waya I about equal, that la to say from St. Loula eoutherly and from New Orleana or the Panama canal northerly. Th farmcre have been sending fregnt and grain In large amounts by the govern ment barges, for they have learned that they can save about 3 cents a bushel In the cost of grain movement. The barges take on at New Orleana molasses, oil, sugar and sisal. Now that the demonstration has been made of the recoevry of the Mississippi river to Its former position as one of the great traffic carriers of the United States, confidence prevails throughout the entire Miaalsslppl valley respecting the available Itv of water transportation. The state of Illinois realises this and feels justlfed In spending 130.000,000 ao that the Iiltnots and the Chicago rlvera can be connected. St. Louis Is so firmly convinced of the permanent recovery of the Mississippi that th city la building modern docks which are very large, with admirable freight handling machinery. New Orleans, which formerly was the second American port, will spend all the money for dock and freight handling faollitles that Is needed if It can In that way regain Its former preatage. By-and-by the government, having demonstrated the transportation value of the Mississippi and its tributaries, will probably aell the ownership of Its barg line to private interests and thee interests will extend the service to the upper Mississippi, the Ohio, the Missouri and the Illinois. The recovery of the Mississippi and lta tributaries is one of the unexpected and perhaps the moat highly gratifying results which have come from the emergencies which the govern ment was compelled to meet and over come In war days. X Vark Catton. New York, Nov, 4. A reaction In tho closing hour, following a recovery which made up the ground lost in a moderate early decline, brought today's cotton mar ket about' on a level with laat night's close. A eontinuatlon of yesterday'a late decline marked early dealings, the drop being mainly a reflection of weakness In the Liverpool market, where heavy liquidation and lack of demand resulted, In a sharp fall, .... After opening heavy at a net losa of 11 to J points, the market met lo creaaed aelllng from a number of In tereata and dropped to a level of more than Ho a pound loss In some cases. There waa considerable long liquidation In evidence at times, as well as selling for New Orleans account, which waa poorly absorbed. Trade Interests and spot houses bought a little cotton. A decided Improvement In price was noticeable as th session progressed, the market regaining all of Ita early loss with active ehort covering for over th week-end and demand' from trade In tereots. Th betterment In the tock mar ket was a factor, but th recovery waa due primarily to the publication of bull ish statistic. The market advanced about 84 to 24 polnta before enough realising by pro fessionals developed to bring about a re action. At the start of the final hour te list was T to IS polnta net higher. Final blda were 884 points net lower. Kansas City Live Mock. Kansaa City. Nov. 4. (U. 8.

Financial By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Ues Iaaed Wire. New York, Nov. 4. The market for investment bonds held he cen ter of the stage again today, notably in its display of strength and activity in foreign government securities. In those bonds, the day's transactions were of quite unusual magnitude, the United Kingdom and the French re public bonds taking the lead. In a long list of other foreign national and municipal bonds advances of a point or more were scored on to day's market. There were similar advances in many bonds of railway and industrial companies and United States bonds went higher, the Vic tory 4 3-4 per cents touching par on a full transaction, for the first time since July, 1919. But the for eign bonds were the real focus of interest. This week's movement in the bonds will probably be more effective than any other argument in dispelling the crude ideas which have existed in the matter. A 5-point rise in the prices of a government bond, even when caused by reduction in reserve bank rates, has powerful effect In enabling Wall street to discover the really strong points in such a gov ernment's situation. Stock Market Unsteady. Today's stock market lapsed back Into the condition which It displayed during the week's earlier days; It was made up of mingled advances and declines bear ing no relation to on another, European exchange rate also moved uncertainly, but German mark fell a peg lower, touching .0041. The Austrian orown, de clined along with marks. The best that th week-end mercantile trade review can say of th business sit uation is that response to favorable un derlying Influence "does not come quick ly," though "evidences of revival multi ply." The teatlmony of the country's av erage dally exchange of checks Is much In line with other indexes of trade. For th present month to date, the average I larger than In any month sine Jan uary, yet 20 per cent pelow 192 J. Again as in nearly every week since August, th long list of commodities In Dun's review shows more separate advancea than de clines, a movement which explains the 1H per cent advance In Dun's "Index number" of average commodity price for October, notwithstanding a moderate de cline In the metala, and a heavy decline In grain.

Wheat closed strong near the best prices of the day. Reports from Argentina were rather disquieting as to the progress of the crop and this inspired some investment buying and there was much short covering. One Ar gentine cable told of locusts in two of the big wheat provinces, while another told of unseasonable cold Wtatcr and threatened frost. Rest ing spots were 7A(q,2c higher. Corn finished ?il'VoC higher. There is a strong situation developing in this grain because of the movement festered by bankers and government officials to aid farmers in holding their corn for better prices. Oats advanced Mfc higher. Rye was WK'W liiRhcr and barelv 'Ac hieher. Wheat broke to new low ooints at the start, but the market recovered a few minutes later and little change in prices from the previous close was noted at midscssion. ' The buying was easier to trace tnan the se Una-. Almost every commission house ad vised its customers to buy wheat for an investment and this resulted in a broadening of buying power. The locals were buying on the theory that prices are too low, but despite the good buying power, the market seemed unable to climb much above the previous close. Local receipts caiiiuaica at 13 cars. Corn had a firm tuderlone. The buy ing power was broader with lean diapu altlon to sell. Liquidation apparently haa been thorough and there la veiy llttlo pressure on the market. Receipts are light and cash corn haa been advanclrof ateadlly until good premluma are belatf obtained for contract varletlea. The coun try offered com a little more freely to arrive, but at prices above the present market and tho aggregate quantity waa rot large. Local receipts wer estimated at 200 can. Firmness developed in oat sgb'sesoent to an easier start. At the outset local pressure was In evidence, aa the result of a further drop in wheat. Offering wero aosoroaq oy strong interesta and the market rallied later on a let up in selllnk. A lair part of the later trade was In way of changing, rcrthweat buying December against aales f May, while elevator con cerns worked on the opposite side. Local arrivals were estimated at 66 cars. There were no sales reported in rye; No. X wa quoted 1 cent under December price. Receipt. 3 car. ' Barley ruled quiet. i Pit Notes, Argentine cables indicated a turn to much colder weather with frost Indicated, This, tt waa feared, would tend to retard growth of wheat and possibly hurt com. The main effect of th cables reporting locusts and possibility of froat was to center all attention on Argentina which from now on will be a big factor' in the wheat situation. The acreage of wheat In 'Washington the coming seaaou will be much reduced, ac cording to reports from many counties. Farmers were said to be storing wheat and refusing to Bell at $1. Estimatea of the amount of wh?at under Ountract to be skipped for export vary greatly, running all tlie way from 24,000, 000 bushels to 50,000.000 bushels. It is hard, according to seaboard houses, to estimate the amount of Canadian grain under contract, aa bo much of it. is sold through channels which do not show in the. open market. Considerable Pacific coast wheat has been booked, .V - According to the latest estimate of Argentine wheat acreage "received ' by Washington, the crop this season will hi about 1,000,000 acres less than last year. Reports from 29 leading wheat growing countries indicate a world's crop of wheat, xcluding Russia, ot 2,852,000,000 bushels. Portland, Ore., bida went down to 97c for the beat variety of wheat yesterday, a reduction of 203c per bushel for the day. The current prices are now tho lowest in about six years. Japanese tmyers have been trying to resell wheat at Portland, owing to cheaper offerlnga from Canaau and Australia. Lona of flour in the Erie fire at Jersey City I placed as high as 100,000 barrels. The outlook for the new corn crop in Argentina is favorable. Seasonable weather has prevailed. The new wheat trop Is coming along In good shupe also. Clearancea of wheat are small.
