A Wonderful Record.
By and by when it la possible to writ
th story of th awlftne.s and magnitude
of th change In tho relation betw.cn
th United States and other natlona and
of th people ot the United State to
cltlien. of other nation, not th. least
Interesting chapter will be th on which
record Ins absorption by th United
States silently, almost unnoticed, of tha
securities which before th war wer held
abroad while at th same tim other na
tlona and their cltlaena were rolling up
a debt In thl. country aubatantlally equiva
lent to th debt which before the war
mad the United State, a debtor nation.
Our International trade between 1909
and 101 averaged about 14.000,000,000 a
year. In 1920 that trad had o increased
that It wa. In excess of $1,000,000,000 p.
month, but tn It fell off by a much
aa 12,000,000.000. A auperficlal reading
of the. figure, of course, haa justified
some anxiety leat our foreign trade bo
slipping away from ua and If It I" then
with difficulty will that falling off be
checked. . . ....
Those, however, who have studied th
statistic, which report our foreign trade
in 1920 and 1SS1 are Inclined to the opin
ion that It haa not loat In quantity. We
. in m i n.n.t mucn 10 omer
part, of the world In quantity a. we were
prior to 1020. But the great falling off
In prlcea probably explain, much the
greater part of th decreased value of
OUAmerlcan agriculture and American
mines constitute about two-third of our
export. Cotton stands first In the de
tailed - amount and aggregate valu of
export and wheat second. y; :
Th Chamber of Commerce of the United
State, having given careful consideration
to the.e statistic, and having studied the
report which waa recently made by it
commute whose member visited oreat
"Britain and continental Europe, assert
that no clttsen ot the United State should
Seriously consider any proposition that tno
United State Isolate Uaelf from Europe.
For Europe nd Great Britain are now
and are to be our greatest marks. There
fore th question of foreign trade la of
Interest practical rather than sentimental,
to every btulne man, every farmer ' and
every wag earner In the United State.
An Appeal te Labor.
Contained In thl recommendation I a
atrong hint to American wag earner.
Their employment depend In some rnea
aur upon maintaining our foreign trade
because American Industrie and Ameri
can agriculture with which labor la asso
dated furnish the commodities which are
"i. l.hatloday the world' business
ha reached a dead center? Thl seems to
be the opinion of the United States Cham
ber of Commerce. If It is then It prob
ably remains for the United States to
put an end to tho dead center. The
Chamber of Commerce asserts that the
United State I now the most powerful
rountrv In the world, both commercially
and financially. Throughout Europe,
both western and central Europe, th com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce dis
covered that the opinion 1. firmly held
that Europe cannot recover unles the
United States give abundant assistance.
Th committee report to the Chamber
of Commerce that the United State be-
tng In possesalon of practically Inex
haustlbl raw material pf which other
nation stand in need, make it vital that
thl country aid In accelerating a return
to world's prosperity. But we are already
doing this In Mexico. South America and
Canada. Thla report and the endorse
ment of It which the United 8 ate.
Chamber of Commerce ha given will be
brought to the attention of tho. who will
represent other nation tn the .o-called
dtarmament conference .

Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day
Financial
By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES
Chleage Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire.
New York, Oct. 19. Further re
covery in the railway shares rc
fleeted today's general belief that
the strike movement has already
failed. Little attention was paid to
the announcement that other railway
labor organizations will meet at
Chicago and discuss the strike, or
to the flood of explanatory state.
ments poured forth by the chief of
the locomotive brotherhood. Both
incidents were to be expected In pre
paring the way for withdrawal of the
order for a strike.
Wall street gave less attention
than heretofore to the discussion of
lawer freight rates; yet that was, on
the whole, the outstanding topic
lhat some such reduction is impend
in?, there seemed to be little doubt;
the Iron Arc, speaking for the steel
industry, refers to the "practical
certainty of freight rate reductions"
as "a greater influence than the
strike itself. The element of un
certainty is the effect which any
general cut in railway rates would
have if unaccompanied by further
lowering of. railway wages. Some
traffic , has unquestionably been lost
to the carriers by the present high
rates; the voluntary reductions al
ready proposed by the companies
shows that.
Decrease Reported.
But reduction all along the line would
be another matter. Railway business Is
still held down by the depression In trade;
against the total decrease or only
23.8 per cent from 1920 In gross earnings
for the first half of the present year,
the statemsnt for August showed decreases
of 9 per cent and the Individual reports
for September do not make any compari
son. Every one knows that the consid
erable net earning, which in recent
months have replaced the heavy deficit of
year ago. are the result, first of the
wage reduction allowed by the labor board
and aecond, of parsimony In maintenance
expenditure such aa cannot continue much
longer. This being so. the vltsl Ques
tion Is likely to be. how much of a cut
In rate on tne oasis or uncnanged ex
penses could be made without injury to
the railways.
Outside of the railway shares, today's
stock market waa Irregular, syndicating;
nothing , but unimportant profeaalonal
activities. The day's violent recovery
of the two industrial stocks which were
forced down under such auspices on Tues
day, showed the character of this trad
ing. Sterling resumed Its upward move
ment on a moderate scale today. At the
day's best rate 2 He had been recovered
out of the 4 Ho reaction from Monday's
high point. Other European rates movea
similarly, even marks getting back to
.0066, compared with the recent low point,
of .006214. -
Another weekly report on German pa
per currency issues. In ' the- cables
reicnaoank statement, dated October lb.
showed an Increase of 266,600,000 marks
In a week, or 6,078,000.000 In a month and
of 17.828,000,000 or 25 per cent alnce the
reparation payments began at the end of
May.
There was a rather striking change In
movement of far eastern exchanges, con
nected undoubtedly with the sudden weak
ness of silver, whose sharp decline to
day brought the price 4o per ounce below
last Mondays high figure. Thla looked
like reaction from an overdone specula
tion for the rise and waa so interpreted
at London.' It affected not' only the
Chinese exchange, but the Indian rupee,
which broke a full cent , for Tuesday's
eloslng.
New York Cotton.
New York, Oct. 19. Th cotton market
turned firm In the last hour today, after
a deal of Irregularity and closed 25 to 35
points above yesterday'a final prices. The
early market displayed better absorbing
power and In the first two hours of busi
ness scored a gain ot 30 to 40 points. Tho
Improvement In prices was more a re
flection ot the stronger technical position
than of anything elae. Yesterday's active
liquidation appeared to have cleaned out
tne market for the moment of long ' cot
ton and placed it In a position better
able to. act on bullish factors.
Late In the second hour prices were orr
a little from the top, with scattered real
ising on the "long' side by professionals
who bought on yesterday's decline.
Renewed selling by Wall street bears.
together with a withdrawal of the early
buying power, resulted In a sharp re
action later In the session, prices dropping
10 to 20 points under last night's closo
before recovering any. The unsettled
action of the stock market was a late fac
tor. The market was similar to that of
the preceding day and had much the
sarmt trend. It seemed that locals were
hammering on all bulges. The market
waa steady, however, and much away
from Tuesday's close toward ths end of
the fourth hour. A sudden covering
movement by ring short in th last half
hour found tew available offerings and as
a result th market recovered to ita early
high, one to two option making highs
for th day.

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Trlbsne-Osaaha He l asted Hire
Chicago, Oct. 19. Grain prices
continue to decline under the weight
of heavy ttmiiliet which more than
offset the demand and are steadily
forcing prices down. Wheat dropped
to the lowest since 1915. Corn is the
lowest since 1910 and oats are down
to the level of 1912, with the trade
depressed and buying power on the
part of the outside public the lightest
in years. The latter is one of the
main factors for the low-, prices.
Uthfr factors are the big supplies,
disposition on the part of the buyers
to anticipate their requirements -nd
constant pressure from producers
who continue to market heavily in
the face of the decline.
Net losses for the day are 1 1-4
1 3-4c on wheat, l-43-8c on
corn; l'8c on oats and l-8lc on
rye
One of the most influential fac
tors in the wheat marker, which
brought heavy selling from the east,
was the speech by Premier Lloyft
Oeorge in the house of commons, in
which he declared unemployment in
England was the worst in the coun
try's history. The selling came when
prices were around the highest of
the day. having advanced on a gen
eral covering movement which car
ried them up around 2 l-23c from
the previous day's close. The sell-
lrur that ensued caused a break ot
nearlv S cents to -new low levels of
$1.03 1-4 for December and $1.08 for
May, with the close at almost the
low point.
Strong Hedging.
An Increase of 10,118,000 bushels In
Bradstreet's world's supply which is now
167,318,000 bushel., or about 80,000,000
bushels more than laat year, combined
with the hi a- recelDta In Winnipeg. 1.788
cars or more than 800 cars tn excess of a
week aao. also the good run In the north
went, 1,023 cars, brought in sufficient
fia.ri.rlnr rjreaaure to assist In offsetting
the effect ot an Improved milling de
mand here and at St. Loula
Flour aales at St Louis were said to be
the largest of the season. Winnipeg re
ported a large cash demand and prlcea
there were higher, but all the conserva
tive Influence lost their effect In the
last hour, due to stop order selling.
Corn had good support early, December
holding around 46o ,and the upturn la
wheat carried it 4o above that flgare.
while the lat break in the latter gram
forced a drop to 46o at the laat, wltn
May down to 80 c. Hedging pressure
continue and buying la largely local.
Cash prices were 91o higher and sales
were at 9o petter oasis, as compared
with the December.
Oat Market Dull.
Oats trader ar following th action
of other grains and aside- from the con
tinued spreading between December and
May at 4940 difference, there wu
little of Interest In the market. Local
houses are buying May and selling De
cember and northwestern interest are
doing the reverse. '
Baltimore was a good buyer of Decem
ber rye and it advanced -2o aboye the
previous day's close, which was lost. Trad
ers bought December and sold May at 4 9
4c difference and there was an evening
tip .of, trades between old and new style
December at o difference, the old bring,
tag the premium.
Packers and longs sold October lara
ad there waa scattered nressure on Janu
ary and March, owing to the break In
grains and nogs, tne latter neing 011 jag?
26c. Deliveries were 850,000 pounds lard
and 50,000 pounds short ribs.
Pit Notes.
Wheat nrlces are off 84036c. corn
over 13o and oat 7913o from the
high point ot the season for current de
liveries. Wheat has lost over 13o from
the high point of last week, mostly in
the past few days. Tha declines are not
bringing In any new buying, although the
development today were moat favorable,
to the constructive side. There Is too
much grain constantly pressing on the
market and foreign prices are declining
with American. Wheat in roniana is
down to 97c, the lowest since August,
1916. Farmers In the Saskatchewan are
said , to be getting ony 84c for No. 1
northern at loading stations and 68c for
No. 4. .
All. the gra n and flour that Is Held ny
the trade shows losses and the disposition
Is to go light on the buying side. It Is a
ease where prices cut no figure on the
down grade, the same as they did during
the war nerlod when bullish entnusiasm
ran high and those who believed In blgn
er prices bought regardless. .
- Under existing conditions there Is a
constant switching of hedges. Distribu
ters In the east who buy coarse grains are
constantly hedging and' while the eeller
In th west remove hi hedge, they are
Immediately put on again, - so that the
pressur Is always present.
"The liberal quantities of grain re
serves In farmers', hands and the alleged
large holdings by various farmers' co
operative associations apparently act as a
barrier to any material ana sustained ad
vance In nrice. and are likely to continue
to do ao until these holdings are hedged
or liquidated," said Mayfleld ft Co.
Omaha wired the country was selling
nothing in way of grain, with receipts
there only 19 cars or wheat, 1. cars 01
corn and 10 cars of oats. 1
Receivers said there was a marked
falling off tn movement ot corn from the
country and snippers reported a Better
Inquiry. v
Minneapolis reported the largest flour
alee on the crop and there were alio big
ales -ot flour from St. Louis. Minneapolis
wired In regard to the 1c upturn there
early. that there was no wheat on the
market. -
" New York Coffee. .
Kaw York. Oct. 1$. Failure of Rio ex
change rates to hold rallies reported yea
terday and report or sngntiy lower cost
and freight offers In consequence seemed
partly responsible for the decline In cof
fee futures today. Aside from that the
continued nervousness of -cotton ' and
wheat probably had a sympathetic in
fluence, while there was some European
selling due to unfavorable financial con.
ditions abroad. The market opened at a
decline of 9 to 12 points and sola snout
18 to 22 points net lower, with December
touching 7.42c and March 7.60c. or new
low ground for the movement. Sate were
