Financial
By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased. Wire.
New York, Aug. 7. So many dis
appointments have been encountered
by people who were looking for thef
long deferred trade revival that .dis
couragement naturally prevails
again at frequent intervals. Perhaps
it is only by watching the landmarks
of depression which, one after
another are now being left behind
on the return tide, that a true idea
of our actual present position can be
obtained.
We are evidently still surrounded
by such unpleasant indications as the
long list of unemployed labor, the
abnormal decrease in production and
sale of steel and iron, the hesitancy
of consumers in every industry, the
inadequate railway earnings, and the
paralysed export trade.
But we passed out of the hope
lessly high cost of production long
ago; the abnormally high money
rates are three months behind us;
apparently the last of the crippled
financiers who "had to be taken
over" has been cared for and in July
the unremitting downward sweep of
prices came to a definite pause.
These are the signs for which the
trained financial eye watches anxious
ly when the country is being carried
along on the tide of financial re
action. We may pretty closely judge
how far the return flow has brought
us when we can look back at them
in the rapidly increasing distance.
Irregular Movement.
Last week's Irregular movement ot
prices for investment stocks and bonds oc
curred in connection with a singularly
conflicting series of incidents in the larger
field of Industry. During many months
financial watchers have kept their eye on
tha course of commodity prices, arguing
that improvement in general trade was not
likely to begin In earnest until the down
ward movement of those markets was re
vised. The past week's compilations of
the mercantile agencies agreed In report
ing distinct recovery In the average during
July, ranging from 2V4 to 3 per cent, and
In one of the estimates marking the second
month of an upward reaction which had
been In evidence at no previous time since
tha fall in prices began in the early
months of 1920.
Bue when the action of the separate
commodity markets waa observed more
closely it was easy to find a common
trend. In steel and iron, for Instance, last
week's production figures showed such an
extraordinary absence of demand from
regular consumers that, the country's out
put of Iron In July had fallen to the low
est figure of any month siaca the close ot
1003.
Big Grain Movement.
With wheat on the contrary, although
prices have declined again since the clos
ing weeks of July, the prospect of a good
sized harvest has broken the deadlock in
the movement of farm supplies to market
and the wheat held back ao long with
borrowed money by the western and north
western producers has been pouring into
tha terminal markets In wholly unprece
dented quantity, with foreign consumers
buying freely.
Cotton, on the other hand, has recovered
moderately in price on a surprisingly posi
tive confirmation of the reduced produc
tion estimate in the government's August
report the forecast cutting down by near
ly $250,000 balance and the July indica
tion of yield, which was below any actual
harvest in a quarter of a century, and the
cotton market has risen ZtC per pound
from the low June price to the highest
since February 23; yet the dead weight of
the 800,000 bales carrleid over from former
crops has repeatedly checked tho move
ment. Money rates have drifted slowly lower,
tho federal reserve ratio had advanced
again, and another huge mass of foreign
gold has poured Info our market, yet tho
larger facilities of credit have not yet
found reflection in any Increase of the
loan account and tho lower cost of money
on the open market has caused only slow
recovery In the price of Investment securi
ties. The cost of capital for high grade
Investment Issues still ranges between 7
and 8 jpe'r cent, while six months loans
on stork exchange collateral are going at
8 per cent.
Obstacles Removed.
Despite all these conflicting circum
stances, it is possible to draw one com
mon and not unfavorable inference from
all of them, which is that the. trying
process of reaction, liquidation - and re
adjustment has been very complete and
has already removed tha great part of
those obstacles which, for more then a
year, have stood In tho way of return
to anything like normal business.
Output of ateel and Iron at the pres
ent Is so far below the country's actual
requirement! that nothing except such
a hlockide nf credit facilities as pre
vailed last year. could prevent the ulti
mata resumption of purchases, and, In
fact, the buying movement can hardly
fall to be resumed the instant it is be
lieved that prices have reached their
low point.
If the release of frozen credits In the
south has been slower than tn the west,
the machinery for effecting sale of accu
mulated cotton and the consequent dis
charging of old debts Is none tha less
unmistakably at work. Behind all these
considerations stands the astonishingly
strong banking position. Aa a whole the
credit organism of the country bids fair
to . enter the autumn on a sounder po
sition and wlt"fi a higher percentage of
banking reserve to banking liability than
at any time since the United States
came into the war In 1917.

Reason for Rail
Slump Problem
Before Senate
Commerce Committee Must
Decide Whether Car Loading
Decrease Due to High
Rates or Depression.
By HOLLAND.
Increased earnings of the rail
roads of the United States as a
whole, which were reported for the
four weeks of June and three subse
quent weeks of July, are attributed
by those who have studied the situa
tion, to the rates allowed by the In
terstate Commerce commissicn fof
the movement of grain and also for
the hauling of sand, stone and
gravel. If the inference drawn from
these figures be correct, the rates
charged for the movement of these
commodities have not interferred
with the traffic. Of course, there
is a possibility that if the rates were
lower the traffic might have in
creased, but that would have been
at the expense of the railroadd com
panies. If we take the traffic on the
American railroads as represented
by car loadings and by the number
of cars employed in hauling grain
and grain products, it will be dis
covered that although there was a
severe falling off in the transporta
tion of other products excepting
sand, stone and gravel, nevertheless
there was an increase in the number
of cars employed in moving grain
and grain products. As for instance,
in the second week of July the num
ber of cars loaded with grain in 1919,
was in round numbers 45,000. In
1920 the number of cars thus em
ployed was nearly 34,000, but in 1921.
57,000 cars which carried grain were
moved in the week of July 16, 1921.
Greater Number of Cars.
Had the entire transportation of freight
by rail for these weeks bean equally good,
then it would have been reported that
the railroads ware occupied to their ca
pacity In hauling products. In these seven
weeks nearly 800,000 cars were loaded
with grain, whereas a year ago In tha
sama period of time 330.000 cars were In
like manner loaded, whlla In 1111, al
most exactly the same number of ara
were loaded with grain as was tha oaso
of 1920. Or to put it In another way,
the excess of 1921 over 1930 waa in round
numbers 67,300 cars whllo In 1921 tha
excess over 191 wag almost exactly 70,
000 cars. ,
Apparently, notwithstanding the ratea
that are complained of, railroads did a,
larger traffic In tha movement of grain
and grain products In June and July of
this year than In the previous two years.
Was this done In spite of the high rataa
or would there have been a larger move
ment of cara had the rates been lower?
That Is something which tha committee
on Interstate commerce of tha senate will
try to decide.
Sand, Stone and Gravel.
It Is a far cry rom grain and train
products of which the world atanda In ,
need to aand. stone and gravel. The ,
mere mention of these thlnga would
Juatlfy the Impression that they would ba ,
about the last which would entail heavy
railroad traffic. But these articles ara
needed for road construction, of which
tho aggregate throughout the United
States is enormous. They ara also re
quired for building operations although
the building Industry has been greatly
stagnated. Some of the shippers have
urged a reduction of ratea upon aand,
stone and gravel. And yet, the railroad
have carried a larger amount, measured
by the number of cars, of these thlnga
than they have of any other American ,
products. Tho number of cars 1 oaded
products. The number of cadi loaded
with thla road-making material between
June 4 and July , was, In round num
bers, 183.000, and about 70,000 lesg than "
tha number of cars loaded with grain. '
But in the wear 1920, for tha Ilka period
of six weeks, the number of cars loaded
with this road-making and building ma
terial was a little In axcasa of 125,000.
Total Loading of Freight.
Although there has been an unpre
cedented decrease so far thla fear In tha
loading of all freight In tha United States, ;
yet that decrease would have been much .
greater had It not been for the Increase
In the number of cara employed In tha
hauling ot grain and of aand, stone and
gravel.
Soma Idea of the trafflo tn freight repre
sented by the number of cars employed) .
In this movement may ba obtained by an '
official report of the total loading. In
1921 the total for seven weeks was S,
240,000 cars. The total for 1920 wtM
more than 1,000,000 greater and tha total
for 1919 was some 400,000 greater. A
mere glance at these flgurea demonstartea
the business and Industrial depression '
which began early In the year 1920. It
Is observed, however, that tha number of
cars employed In these seven weeks of.;
this year Is gradually Increasing.
It will remain for tho committee W .
Interstate commerce, of .which Senator
Cummins la tha chairman, to discover
whether the great decrease In car loading
this year was due to tha Increase In
freight rates or to general business de
pression. The committee will have be
fore it testimony which will show that,
notwithstanding the increaaa In freight .
charges, grain on tha one hand and road
building material on the other gained in
the number of cars employed In tha
hauling of these commodities. The real
issue before Senator Cummins' commit-
tee Is this: Can the rates ba reduced with,
out Impairing the railroads of tha United
States in their struggles toward recovery.
No one doubts that In due time, when tha
railroada are restored to health and when .
business and industrial prosperity aura
in that way recovered, it may be expedient
to reduce railroad rates. But there I
apprehension that reduction at thla tima
may aertoualy Impair tha railroads, may
cause a large deficit and la. not likely
to lead to any considerable Increasa in
traffic.
