ENTHUSIASM IS DIMINISHING
ON WAR-FINANCE CORPORATION
United Railroads Company Bonds Considered
Cheap Planning Sale of Property to
San Francisco
mHEHU doesn't Rctm to bo so much enthusiasm In some quarters over
1 tho war-flrianco corporation bill ns there was somo time ngo. A
great many held tho Impression that It would bo a sort of cure-all for
financial Ills of every description. They don't talk nhout It as such now.
Thcro U on Impression abroad that politics has already begun to lnflucnco
the possible administration of tho bill, but whatever has occurred ono
does not find so many enthusiasts clamoring for Its speedy passago to
tavo tho railroads and public utilities from financial chaos.
Thon'Uiero was that lengthy correspondence on tho duties of Stato
and municipal public service- commissions toward tho public utilities
that were bccklnp; for higher rates to meet tho present war conditions
which passed between tho I'resldcnt nnd the Secretary of tho Treasury.
Few papers mado any extended comment on these letters, nnd hero
gain it was said that politics had obtruded. 15e that ni It may. It was
of somo significance that the petitions of the pis companies which supply
Chicago and New Orlans with gns for permission to Increase rales were
refused. Every one knows that of nil public utilities corporations nono
has been hit to hard by tho increase In tho cost of labor and materials
as have, the sa.T companies.
Among the Important contracts which arc waiting on the President's
elgnaturo to tho war-flnanco bill when It Is passod. It Is said, Is ono for
60,000 freight cars.
Tho war-flnanco bill contains a provision for purchases of railroad
equipment by tho President, and until the bill becomes law no contracts
can bo signed. It Is said that of the 0,000 freight cars mcnlloncd abovo
tho American Car and Foundry Company, on account of Its enormous
capacity to turn out promptly such equipment, will rccelvo 30 per cent
of tho order.
Tho passage of tho war-flnancc bill by an nlmost unnnlinous voto
by the House yesterday afternoon and tho signing of tho railroad-control
bill by tho President had no nppreolablo effect on tho market, unless the
activity of the last hour could bo attributed to these events.
Some brokers attributed tho strength of the Kteel stocks to the con
ference oi Steel Company heads Just adjourned In Washington, while
others said they saw more of n bear lnflucnco In tho reports from the
conference up to date, as It seems u foregone conclusion that there will
bo no advance In steel prices. Those who wero Inclined to bellcvo tho
other way pointed to tho recently published leport of tho earnings of
the; Itepubllo Iron nnd Steel ns proof that present prices wero gooo.
enough.
United Railroads of San Francisdo
A banker who has recently returned from San Francisco and Is thor.
ourhly conversant with the situation regarding tho United Hallroads
Company said that. In view of tho negotiations for tho purchase of tho
property by tho city of Han Francisco, ho Is satisfied that the piescnt
market price of tho United Ilalltonds of San Fiarclico general moitgago
4 per cent bonds U very much lieliw thel.- ucttial worth, par'Icutntly In
view of the comparatively nmall Indebtedness ahead of theso bonds, com
bined with the excellent comdltlon of the property and Its good record
of earnings.
Information has been received by bankers interested In the company
that theso negotiations nio progicsslng satisfactory and that Chief
Engineer M. M. O'Shaughnessy and William Von Phul, general manager
of, the United Railroads Company, have been In consultation for several
weeks discussing tho method of valuation to bo adopted.
. They havo agreed that tho basis of tho sale prlco of tho property to
the city shall bo tho picsent physical value of the same, plus 'an amount
equivalent to tho probable net earnings during tho life of their franchises.
