The lineament liousci which make a Mieclulty of such ecurltles gay that there nro plenty of bueis with fevV sellct-s; In fact, that the order of a few das ago has been completely reversed. They assert that thero are no offerings coming out In response to their bids, nd that It looks as though thoso who have good tnllroad bonds ate now of the Impression that they rank with Government securities If they are not at present a quasl-GoAtrnmcnt security, at least for the period of tho war. Prices, It Is said, aio advancing steadily, and It is even Mid that thero are many inquiries for tho bonds of railroads which have been almost inactive for somo time past. Somo houses predict a demand hortly for all classes of railroad bonds, even for second and third mort gage bonds, for which there has been no demand. Ttallroad equipments aro Just beginning to respond to the situation, but reports from concerns that deal largely in this class of security Indicate less activity than with tho regular longtime, bonds. At tho samo time such equipments as are being offered aro bringing higher prices. There ate certain rallrotd bonds which have been quoted on the market around 60 and CS or even less which are being snapped up, by shrewd buyers, who t-eo that thcto need be no fear about the Interest being paid on these -securities, Government Provides for Railroad Maturities The report from Washington to the effect that Secretary of the Treas ury and Director General of Railroads McAdoo had given a decision that tho United States Government would meet all the maturing railroad bonds and notes when they becomo duo was tho one thing needed to sweep away every vestige of doubt on this burning question and to settle the last financial ptoblem which has been tho causo of worry for somo time past ' among tho holders of railroad securities. During tho coming year upward of 1200,000,000 of these obligation1! will mature and for a long time past tha problem of financing them had becomo a nightmare. Tho most im portant caso was tho New Haven road, with its $46,000,000 of notes coming due In April: and for months past. In fact, ever slnco tho flota tion of tho first Liberty Loan, when tho Government virtually monopolized the financial market, It was felt that the Government would have to como to da New Haven's Tcscue. It was natural, therefore, that the Now Haven (shares should experience, a sharp ndvance on tho announcement that the Government will provide for tho liquidation of theso notes. Stock Dividends Not Guaranteed There is an Important point which was brought out in a discussion on Saturday in a downtown broker's ofllca and that is that tho Govern ment does not guarantee railroad stock dividends, but it docs guarantee net Income. Ono broker remarked that tho Government said that current dividends may bo continued, which was very different from saying that they will or must bo continued. Thero is nothing bo far in tho plans for taking over tho roads which supersedes tho rights of tho boards of di rectors of tho vailous roads and it will be up to them to use tho funds which will bo turned over to them by tho Government as "guaranteed net operating income" as they see fit, just as is now tho case with tho English roads. If tho operation of the roads turns out to bo as success ful as is now anticipated, both physically and financially, tho directors may find that they will have the opportunity to build up a surplus In many instances during the period of governmental operation. What Action Will Congress Take? One of the subjects most freely discussed in financial circles is the attitude which certain members of Congress will tako in regard to tho railroad program. Some bankers believe that there will be a move on tho part of somo members to ciclay tho passage, of tho needed legislation to put into practice the President's plan for tho Government guarantee of compensation. ' Not that any of thoso who havo expressed opinions on the matter have the least doubt, as to tho final jutcome, but they fear that long-drawn-out debato and needless wrangling will creato a new doubt and uncertainty among security holders and may thus offset tho good feeling created by tho President's proclamation. On the other hand, many well-known financiers said they would not be surprised If Congress would patriotically rlso to tho occasion and , put tho matter through with unusual dispatch. Peace Talk Not Considered Seriously It is surprising how little effect tho peace talk which has been so prevalent for tho last week has had on the market. No ono seems to regard it seriously. It Is the general opinion that all this talk from Russia Is of German inspiration and that there Is no responslblo govern ment In Russia. The reported abdication of King Pcrdlnand of Rumania did not cause a ripple, as both Russia and Rumania aro considered as out V the war completely for somo time fast. Ono prominent banker, In dtscusslig tho outlook, remarked that the , internal conditions of the Central empires, according to tho most authentic , reports, were as far as ho could sco the greatest evidence of an early peace. "Not revolution in Germany." ho said, 'but evolution, will bring the results, and evolution Is hard at work in "that country among Ger many's commercial men, who are looking to their future." -Levy on the Rich," Says London Journal A heavy levy on the rich classes Is tho method which is strongly and riously urged by the Statist, of London, England, as a means to redeem after the war at least a portion of Great Dritatn's stupendous war debt, which, as this well-known Journal says, thoy will be fortunate if it does not zceed five billion pounds sterling about $25,000,000,000, the interest on which at 5 percent would be $1,250,000,000 annually. Tho Statist goes on to say that supposing that the mere interest of the debt' amounts to i $1,250,000,000 per annum and that In addition tho nation's ordinary expen ditures considerably exceed $1,000,000,000 what, it asks, will 'be the condl Utlpn oi the country with this crushing yearly burden of $2,250,000,000? 'Tho Statist dismisses the Idea of adding to the taxes of the middle and working classes when tho Interest rate alone amounts to $1,260,000,000. and proceeds to map out its plan of solving tho .difficulty by a heavy levy, on the wealthy as follows: "We confess we see no satisfactory way of materially reducing the debt In tho lifetime of tho genet atlon which has Incurred it bnt by a levy upon the wealthy. Of course if the wealthy seriously object that is out of tho question. Nobody would propose to tax a particular class if that class strongly remonstrated. But we confess we do not believe that the wealthy would oppose the proposition when all the considerations are clearly set before them. Wo may mention, in support of our opinion, that the other day when a discussion on the subject was raised In the House of Lords ono peer declared in favor of a levy upon tho rich and thero was no very strong outcry from the rest of tho House." Electric and Gas Utilities in 1917 and 1918 ' The features sharply defined in tho electric light and power and gas Industries during 1917 are: First. The highly essential nature of these Industries under war con ' ditlons as well as during, peaceful times. Second. Extraordinary demands for additional service by munition plants, mines, shipyards, refineries, cereal mills, packing plants and estab llihments producing other necessities. Third. Increased operating expenses, due to unprecedented prices for coal, labor and supplies. Fourth. Inauguration of a period of higher sen ice rates to meet In creasing expenses and destruction of the fallacy that public utility rates .cannot be teadily advanced to conform with chanced conditions. Fifth. Creation of new sources of investment capital, despito unusual ' 'difficulties in financing extensions and Improvements. , Sixth. Tho Imperative need for immediate water-power development on the widest practicable jcale. Each successive month of the war brings into clewer relief the eco-, nomlo functions performed by the electric and gas companies in the saving , of time, of labor, of fuel and of capital. With more than one-half of the Industrial power of tho country already supplied by theoo organizations they aro being called upon in' increasing measure for effort of the most i vital kind. 1 Tho central stations burn only about GO per cent of the cool required ' " for individual power plants. Electric motors are among the greatest aids sv tn .n.j.i nrii tha nuvlncr of man cower in any factory or shoo.
