PROSPEROUS ERA
judge Gary Also Sees a
Bright Future For the
Steel Industry
PROPOSES L6WER prices
New York, Dec 17.
America faces a period oC "amaslng
prosperity" Judge Elbert H. Gray, chair
man of the finance committee 'of the
United States Steel, Corporation, de
clared In an Interview here, lie also
predicted n. bright future for the steel
Industry. t
Judge .Gary explained that there would
be a period of readjustment preceding
that of prosperity, tho duration and ex
tent of which will depend on the de
gree of Intelligence with which the
Government and American business men
meet the problems Involved In shifting
from a war to a peace basis. In maklnr
this shift, Gary proposes the lowering
of prices moderately and maintaining
of wages at the "present high level."
"There Is no reason vliy America
should not take and hold the financial
commercial and industrial leadership of
tho world," said Judge Gary. "But all
of (his depends on the attitude of the
business men and the Go eminent."
He predicted that all the steel plants
would bo running at their full capacity
within the next Ave years, although
their capacity had been greatly Increased
during the war. He said "satisfactory
bookings" for new orders had been
made since the armistice had been
signed.
"Steel expprts will also be I much
greater now that the war Is over," it
was explained. He predicted that China,
South America, Japan and South Africa
would bo heavy buyers.
BUSINESS NOTES
President Wilson has approved the re
cent recommendation of Secretary Red
field that business advisers be attached
to American legations and embassies as
one of the Governments' moes toward
aiding American manufacturers and
merchants In their after-the-war cam
paign for foreign trade. The Presi
dent's approval came in one of a num
ber of executive business dispatches re
ceived at the White Houso today from
Paris.
The Colorado Fnbllo Utilities Commis
sion today Issued an order granting
authority to the Denver Tramway Com
pany to charge seven cents carfare and
one cent additional when a transfer Is
asked. In September last, the utilities
commission gave the company authority
to increase fares from live to six cents
as a war relief measure.
The genettil committee on steel and
steel products and tho various subcom
mittees of the American Iron and Steel
Institute, which worked In conjunction
with the war Industries board during
the war, will be disbanded on Saturday.
Annnnnrment fa mftda bv the Penn
sylvania Warehousing: and Safe Deposit
Company of an advance in storage rates
on flour arriving In their warehouse over
the lines of tho rniiaaeipnia ana neaa
lng Railway and Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. The new rates became ef
fectlva veaterdav. and are -as follows
On packages containing ninety-eight
pounds or more, one cent ; on packages
containing twenty-four to ilfty pounds
(both Inclushe), ten cents; and on pack
ages containing less than twenty-four
pounds 'the rate will be twelve cents.
The charges are per barrel, for each
month. These new storage rates arc the
same as now charged by the Merchants
Warehouse Company, theV having an
nounced several days ago an advance
ment In their charges, due to increased
cosib oi operation.
There has been a general reduction
In operating forces of plants that have
been turning out war material. One New
York manufacturer estimates that more
than 300.000 men throuchout the Coun
try have been let go this month on ac
count oi uovernmenc cancellations.
Many of these men have secured em
ployment In plants turning out other
tnan.war worn, ne uu fpnt worKS ana
other Oxploslve concerns, aircraft com
panies, concerns turning out Bhells and
munitions have discharged thousands of
men. In Industrial districts competi
tion In labor Is In evidence for the first
(mo In several years.
The standlnr committee of the Asso
cla'tlon ot Railway Executives, which
held a fhe-day session here, ending last
Sunday night, will meet again In New
York on Friday. In thi interval mem
bers of the committee have been enabled
to discuss the situation with their re
spectlve corporations.
The areneral committee of the Ameri
can -Iron and Steel Institute, as -well as
other committees of the Institute on dis
tribution ot ore shipments, ferrp-aHoy,
eta, have been dissolved as of December
31, with the exception ot the committee
on pig iron.

GOSSIP OF THE STREET
FEWLIKE.PLAN
OF JOINT LOAN
Bankers and Brokers Do Not
Relish Inter-Allied Rinding
Proposal
The plan to restoro the world's credit
through an International financial union,
as outlined In a dispatch from Paris
yesterday, was the cause of some dis
cussion and In some Instances of amuse
ment in the financial district of this
elty
Briefly, the dispatch said the French
Government was considering a bill pro
posed by Deputy Jacques Stem, estab
lishing among the Allies an International
financial union. It then went on to say
In effect that the bill proposed a con
solidation of the war debts of all the
Allies, which amount to almost $85,-
000,000,000. To carry out the plan It
would be necessary to float an Interna
tional loan 'of about $104,000,000,000 to
bo distributed on a basis of population
and Production, or power to contribute.
The dispatch also said a similar plan
waj under consideration by tne uriiisn
Government.
Bankers and brokers whose opinions
wrA aflbiM nn ttiA ftubiect almost In.
variably asked, "Where do we como In"?
as soon as they had finished reading it
They felt that under such a plan, es
pecially that part referring to "power to
contribute" tho United States would get
A. "rttvf ileal
Some prominent bankers said the sub
ject was one worth consideration,
it,... w... anmA nntntfl of merit In It
but they said the BUbJect was too big
nilmtt nP eriaTt lllflirmfnt.
One banker said the pooling of the
war debts of the Allies and the Issue
against the consolidated debt of. Inter
national bonds, coincident with the re
tirement of all present war bonds, might
not be a bad thing for the future Inter
national commerce of tho United States
nt,rt h Allied countries. If these bonds
n,ofl v, iiii much on the Bame plan
as the British consols, and If their parity
could be In some way maintained, they
would largely take the place of gold In
International exchange. "But.'l he added,
"the subject Is a big one and would re
quire much study."
Annthr ha nicer remarked Jocularly
"The whole scheme appeals to me In this
way: I have $10; my friend here has
$100. I say to him: 'Let us be goon
fellows and pool our cash and our debts
and pay the debts from the caih pool.'
Tho United States can't bo a party to
such a plan as that."
Another financier, tho president of a
trust company, said he could not see
how Deputy Stern would be any better
off by his plan -to "avoid International
bankruptcy" by floating an International
loan of over $104,000,000,000.
Railroad Sltnatton
Speaking of the railroad situation yes
terday, which still Is a burning topic
In the financial district, a well-known
banker remarked that he thought It a
pity that the board of railroad execu
tives, which Is now holding conferences
In various cities, should not throw open
Its deliberations to tho public and give
those most Interested In the subject an
opportunity to say something on the
various plans considered. Open as op
posed to secret diplomacy and dlscus
slqn of public matters, he said Is the
order of the day, and no single question
affects all the people of the country so
much as transportation. These execu
tives, he remarked, may think that they
represent the great ma,ss of the people
for whom the railroads exist, but their
whole past experience has been centered
on the perfectly laudable aim of making
the roads earn the largest possible
amount for the owners the security
holders, and beyond the brief for the
public held by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and tho various State board
or commissions the public that "pays
tha freight" has had no say. If these
executives wUh the public to believe that
they also represent them as perhaps
they do they should at least permit
the public to know In what form they
do so in their deliberations, otherwise
they may perpetuate the general Im
pression that they do not.
Copper Weakness Mjttery
Brokers could give no satisfactory ex
planation for the weakness of copper
stocks yesterday. An entirely opposite
condition was anticipated, In view of the
assurances from tho War .Department
last week that stocks of copper now
on hand would not be hurriedly disposed
of. This assurance was a source of
great encouragement, It was said, to the
producers ot the metal. There are ho
figures available showing the extent of
these stocks, but as they are distributed
among a large number of concerns they
undoubtedly run into millions of pounds.
There is also a difference of opinion
among brokers who make a specialty of
copper stocks as to the supplies of the
metal now on hand at the refineries,
some holding the view that they are very
low,' especially at the larger works,
while others say that "very large stocks
were carried In anticipation of a long
war. One broker said that during the
war period, when the refineries and
Bmelters were working under pressure,
there was always about 800,000,000
pounds In the various processes. Store
conservative estimates place the total
refined copper Blocks In the hands of the
companies at present around 100,000,000
pounds. The demand at the present
fixed -price of twenty-six cents a pound Is
said to be small, In anticipation ot a re
duction tn price at the first ot the year,
As a matter of fact, coppers were not
so weak as was generally reported. The
apparent weakness was due In large part
to the majority of copper quotations ap-'
pearlng yesterday ex-dtvldend.

If the bowels act regularly and thor

safely gotten rid of.
But if constipation exists, there
results stagnation of intestinal waste,
increased production of poisonous
substances,-and their absorption in
to the blood, which carries them all
over the body.
The result is disease or disorder,
which, if neglected or allowed to
continue, cripples or kills.
The victim of such' self-poisoning
commits, suicide by inches.
