WILSON'S TALK OF PRICE-FIXING
SEEN AS CAUSE OF MARKET BREAK
PHILADELPHIA
MARKETS
Solicitude for Farmer Considered Only Un
happy Expression in Great State Paper.
Gossip of the Street
THE President'-? reference In hl.i ndtlrefm to prIcr-flliiR wti. considered
In tho nnnnclal districts csterday ns the one paragraph which was
accountable for the break In the stock market at Its close on Tuesday and
for Its continued weakness nt the opening esterday. Ills solicitude for
tho farmers, who ore represented as being "gouged" for eer thing they
have to buy, was generally looked upon ni the only unhappy explosion
In ono of the greatest State papers oer written. Whether tlcT-rvpel or
not, there In a widespread feeling that thr farmer Is the one who Is
getting the best out of the present war conditions.
Everything In the shape of farm produce Is commanding the highest
prices on record, and outside such manufactured feed as cottonseed cake,
tho farmers nre paying no more than tho rest of us for clothing or coal
Cr gasoline or even tho automobtlo ho finds t-o neccssar). And tho Im
pression persists that the farmers us u clas were real slackers when tho
Liberty Bond campaign was on.
There nre stories coming In from wlml cem to be reliable sources
that tho farmers nre hoarding their produce hoping for inoro prlcc-'KIng
for their benefit, and now that the President has broadly hinted at nn
extension of tho prIco-fUIng list It Is said the situation will become
acute, especially In the matter of food suppl. It It were not for tho
confidence Inspired by Mr Hoover nnd his nbllltv to meet any situation
which may present Itself there would be some migllngs on the subject.
Sees Government Insurance Extended to All
A well-known life Insuiance man said estordav that ho wondcied
If pcoplo and, especially tho olllclals of llfe-lnuranco (ompanlts, c-omprc
hended tho drift of the future of the business, since the Ciovcnimeiit has
undertaken the life insurance of the ntmy and navy The nest step, be
tald, will bo the permission of civil employes of the uirlom ilepirtnients
In Washington to come In under conditions almost ns fax 01 able as the
conditions applied to the nctlve-servlco men. Then it. will extend t-i
Federal emploes everywhere at home and the consular and other public
crvlco positions abroad. Th'cn, he continued, the opening of the door to
every one with tho (lovernment management of the nation's llfo Insurance
is tho next nnd last btcp, and It would be perhaps the easiest one of
all tho others.
Imagine the enormous resources, he said, which It would plate in the
Government's hands. Today tho bulk of the railroad bonds of the country
are held by the lnsuranto companies, anil If we should tomo to the much-talked-of
(5nv eminent ownership of tho railroads any one could i-eci how
tho Government control of tho Insurance companies would dovetail Into
the fcchemc. Tho Government control of the savings banks would be n
natural sequence, ns next to the life-Insurance companies thev. as a whole,
own moro railroad bonds than any other semlpublic Institutions. With
all theso sources of the people's s-ivlngs Mowing- into the Clovcrnnicut cof
fers, and tho right of the Government to use them for income-paying
public Improvements, as Is ilnno In Great Ililtnln with the postal and
other savings, tho possibilities of tlu future of this country nre limitless.
"Socialistic Ideas'' remarked a man vvJio heaid tho remarks.
"Well, said the Insurance man, whit of It. That doesn't scare pcoplo
nowadays. I,lfe Insurance Itself Is founded on true socialistic principles.
Men combine for their common good and agiee that each will lose a
little, at stated Intcrvnls, so that no one of them will lose much nt miv
one time. However, he added, sec If in Idea docs not in-iterialle In the
not too distant future.
Brokers Discuss Commerce Body's Proposal
Virtually tho only topic of conversition In the brokers' ofllces and
tho Investment houses was the recomnu-ndatlons of tho Interstate Com
merce, Commission on the railway situation.
These recommendations cover four cardinal points:
First. The operation of nil the roads of the country as .1 war moas
uro by the President of tho fulled Stales.
Second. The financing of the ralhoads b.v the Government to ex
tricate them from jirescnt entanglements.
Third, The suspension of such Jaws ns lnteiftre with tho operation
of the roads as one unit.
Fourth. The guaranteeing of the pioper returns to Investors of nil
present outstanding stocks and bonds of the roads.
Immediately after the announcement tho railroad stocks began to
move up nnd continued until the market closed.
Tho news at first was generally hailed as a solution of a very per
plexed and complicated situation. The majority opinion expressed was to
tho effect tha.t while thee were onlj recommendations It did not follow
that they would be adopted, ot It was felt that the had the approval
of tho President behind them. A Utile while aflt.' tho market closed
yesterday word came over the wire that the announcement had fallen
like a bombshell on Congress, and there vvero the, usual objections against
Government ownership being muttcied Nevertheless, tho financial dls
trlct believes the recommendations would carry. 0
Ono of the best-known brokers In the downtown section said he
predicted the whole program three weeks ago. and had good grounds for
his prediction but could not give them at the time Another said that tho
Interstate Commerce Commission had cnly given expression to what was
tn everybody's mind. Just as the dav befoie President Wilson In his
address to Congress had slid what over one was thinking, but could not
' express so well. In fact, he said that he cons'deied the iccommend xtlons
of the Interstate Commerce Commission as a continuation of the Presi
dent's message, and he believed they would be so considered by Congress.
There was no little speculation as to how tho guaranteeing of proper
returns to Investors would be CHrrled out. Some spoko of a 10 pel cent
dividend, but that was considered out of tho question unless it was to
cover everything now covered b earnings. Others said n C per cent
dividend on nil slocks would be raso"shIe, and that railroads which
have In tho past paid a 9 per cent dividend would bo asked to bo satis
fled with 6 per cent, while those palng no dividends would get the same;
in other words, there would be u pooling of dividends. In which case the
atocks of some weak roads would go up while the stocks of others would
Buffer a decline.
AB'to the permanent effect on the mntket. If was pointed out that
when Great Britain took over the ralhoads slnco the war began nnd
guaranteed dividends to the security holders, th stocks of the n ads
declined. Some who are naturally bearish on the situation said that
when the whole matter was fully digested, as it would be before today,
tho effect would be a recession this morning from the closing quotations of
yesterday.
Cassatt Organizes Baby Bond Force
Itobert K. Cassatt, who was npoolnted by tho Secretary of tho
Treasury to take charge of tho campaign for war-savings certificates
and thrift stamps, has opened Very extensive headquarters nt 1431
Walnut street and is busy whipping his organisation Into shape. Askod
If he Intended following the English club plan, where small clubs of ten
or twelve members each wero formed In rural districts, 'each member
contributing a certain nmount each week, tha proceeds being Invested In
war certificates from tlmo to tlmo for tho several members, Mr, Cassatt
replied that tho twenty-flve-ccnt thrift stamp was Intended to do the
work of the Kngllsh club sjstem, ns these stamps would be on salo every
where. "In fact," he said, "wo propose when our organization Is com
pleted that no man, woman or child can complain that they cannot buy
a stamp within n block of their home. We aio preparing to establish
agencies for the sale of theso stamps all over the State. Vlrst, every post
ofllce will be an agency, everj letter carrier, every rural delivery man,
every bank and trust company, every chain store, every pa master of
every concern that emploja labor, every btoro of any Importance whoso
proprietor (s reliable and can pay for his stamps and every drug store.
We are going to enlist the assistance of every teacher and every scholar
In every school In the State at once, so that they can save their Christmas
money. It will take some davs to get our' bearings, but as quickly us
the machinery can more and the stamps be procured we wilt bo ready."
Mr. Cassatt expects nn unqualified success from the sale of war cer
tificates and thrift stamps In Pennsylvania.

Enclosed Cars for Immediate
Delivery
Through the manufacturing foresight of the
Cadillac Motor Car Company, we are privileged to
offer a limited number of Limousines, Landaulets,
Imperials and Victorias for immediate delivery.
We cannot foresee what the freight situation and
manufacturing conditions will be in the srjrinir. but it
is probable that any one who defers the ordering of jflJ
his car until then will be obliged to wait a long time
for its delivery.
Besides, he will be depriving himself of the com
forts of a Cadillac Enclosed Car during the very
months when those comforts are most desirable.
And certainly we cannot guarantee delivery in
the spring at the present prices.
From every viewpoint, therefore, it is the part of
good business to order a Cadillac Enclosed Car now.
The presence or absence of high-quality mate
rials and conscientious, expert workmanship is even
more noticeable in an enclosed car than in an open
car.
Squeaks and rattles soon appear as "telltales" of
the inferior product, and their "tattling" causes annoy
ance and dissatisfaction.
Owners of Cadillac Enclosed Cars do not expe
rience these unpleasant drawbacks to complete motor
ing satisfaction.
The luxury is enhanced and intensified by the
velvety riding qualities created by the Cadillac eight
cylinder engine, in a chassis where scientific design
and standards of workmanship have been brought to
the highest plane of development..
