Whether the plan will be adopted gen erally throughout tho United Slates Is of oourse now only a surmise. But if It continues to be successful in Now York, as now seema probable, It wilt undoubt edly bo followed In other cities. Thera is certain to bo a large accumulation of funds from savings in this present year which will be due entirely to the new spirit of thrift which prevails all over the country. A few days ago the quotations of the stock of the Erie Railroad company fell aa much that many wondered if a re ceivership was Imminent. But tha stoc-K aoon recovered, again Illustrating the queer ups and downs, twista and turns, which have been characteristic of the Erio Railroad company for many years. Tho late Frederick P. Tappan, for many yeara chairman of tha New York Clearing House association, and a banker both courage ous and conservative, used to say that lia waa always glad to -find soma Erie com- man stock mixed in with other aecurltlcs for call money loans, because he could always sell Erie common at tha market on the Instant. E. H. Harrltrwn said at one time that if ha had the chance ho would so managa the Erie Railroad com pany that In five years it woud pay divi dends. He thought it one of the bt railroad properties In the United States. Other railroad men have often spoken of tho Inherent, or latent, strength of the Erie and He possibilities- if it had tho opportunity to develop that etrength. It was the first railroad in tho United States to be built from tidewater on the Hudson across the northern reaches of the Alle Kheny mountains to the town of Dunkirk on Lake Erie, thus establishing tha first o, tha American trunk lines. .

Lonir exoeri- ence in more normal periods of world finance and industry had accustomed our business community to look to the stock market aa indicating ine anniii'iinii onrl trend nf the situation as a whole and to look to the bond market and foreign exchange mar ket only as reflecting; particular and temporary incidents. There were occasions, long before .l. .,nr wVien ottpntinn was fixed on the action of sterling exchange rather than e-n the stock- maricer.. uui it was usually because an important change was visibly going on in the movement of investment capital m to f fhe Ttniter!

Thla Is why the recent un certain movement of prices on the "toe exchange, at a time of very empoattc movement In foreign exchange rates, has aroused perplexity. At the present time, however, the fluc tuations of forecist and reflection seem to have been divided in an unusual way between the elock market, tfcw foreign exchange and the bond market. Each of thoee markets has appeared for some time paat to be governed almoat exclu aively by some one main Influence in the economic situation which was not a po tent Influence In the others.

Chicago Grain By CHARLES D. MICHAELS. By Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Chicago, Jan. IS. The wheat situ ation presents two distinct sides, with no big leader on either. Pros pectively there is a great deal to be said in favor of the constructive side. The grain trade is ncariiicr "he croo scare period, with the outlook in the United Mates and parts of Europe such that a serious scare might de velop in the near future. Should there be a, decided increase in the volume of speculative buying, when it comes prices may advance sharply, and those who are friendly to the buying side predict that within a short time values will be moving up ward. Stocks are expected to de crease from now on. On the other side of the market there is a close adjustment of sup. plies to requirements the world over, but no actual scarcity except in Rus sia and a few European consuming countries. . . Argentina Offering Wheat. Argentina is offering, wheat more freely and underselling other countries. Move ment of the Argentine crop haa been de layed by a late harvest and wet weather preventing, threshing, but their wheat thera win have to be aold. Europe has little money with which to buy suppltea and la only taking hold aa required. The trade abroad knows there la enough wheat to go around and Ia not uneasy about future supplies. Should the conference at Cannes fail to reach aatlafaotory trade agreements, the situation will remain complicated and la likely to have a discouraging effect. What the trade the world over needs is a restoration of confidence and a re duction in taxation. The grain trade is being taxed to death from a speculative standpoint. Will Ask Tax Reduction. A move will be made at the annual meeting of the Chicago Board of Trado Monday to have the ntrectnrs appoint a comntittee to go to Washington and work for a re- colon In the tax. With slow markets the speculator cannot continue to pay the tax and exist for any length of time. When war markets were on, the tax did not cut sp much of a figure, but with fluctuations restricted, the trade is handicapped and thinks it is only fair that it should have some relief. After being surfeited with bullish sta tistics and a declining market, the trado is disposed to (gnoro statistics and some, thing drastic In the way of new factors is necessary to lite tho trade out of a rut: otherwise a decline is looked i'or. - An old trader suggests that the present day oporators who came into tho trado on the war wave of bull specula-tion had better revise their system of operating if they expect to be fortunate. The old aystem of averaging trades will have to be returned in order to secure profits. Although the corn market has many friends, it is in a rut. Buying of nearly 7,000,000 bushels for Russian relief, with prospects of its continuation, has failed to help the market. Hedges against the cash corn have been removed when the corn is sold for export, but the movement from the country keeps sufficient to offset the export buying. Failures This Week A sharp Increase appears in failures In the United States this week, defaults num bering 719. This compares with 540 In solvencies last week, but some part of the difference in number is due to the fact that the present week's returns include figures for ofje more business day than was the case last week. There is also a large Increase over the B14 failures re ported to R. G. Dun & Co. for six days in this week of 1921. Of the current week's defaults, 425 In volved liabilities of 35,000 or more in each Instance, which is equivalent to 69.1 per cent of the aggregate number. This Is a lower ratio than waa disclosed last week, when there were 333 such insol vencies, or 61.7 per cent of the total. The statement for a year ago showed 2i)6 failures for $5,000 or more in each case, the ratio consequently being 49.8 per cent. Numbering 94. defaults in Canada this week compare with 3 tast week and 44 in this week of 1921. Of this week's In solvencies. 4.6 had an Indebtedness of 5.000 or more in each case, which is 48.9 per cent of the total.
