BUSINESS NOTES
Dtsplte dlsnntrhf from iraslilnatnn
reporting rejection of tlie proposed plan
To allow til copper producers to dispose
of the government' metal, It was stated
yesterday that there are Mill chances
of Its adoption. Tim War Department.
It la believed, will give Its ratification
Vrlthtn a short time.
It It the belief that slffl prlre. are
on the verge of further reductions, al
though there I nothing definite as to
this from the producing companies. The
fact lias, however, been pointed out that
the reduced prices are already a reality,
looking at the subject from one point
of view. This has to do with the old
orders, which were on the books when
the steelmakers turned aside nil private
contracts to take on the government war
work. It Is upon such orders that the
companies Slave been working very
largely since current demanH slackened
nd these commitment were taken. In
many Instances, nt prices below those
prevailing now. While there Is no an
ticipation of a drastic reduction In prices
certainly not to the level prevailing
as to old orders lower leels are ex
pected by the consumers.
One hundred nnd flfljr-nlne officers
and members of the Wholesale Saddlery
Association and twenty associated re
tail harness associations, component
sections of the National Harness Manu
facturers' Association of tho 1 nlted

mltuted conspiracy in restraint or

and pharmaceutical chemicals Is still
characteristic of the market. The ten
dency of prices Is downward. Quick
silver declined I! a flash during tho

Horse V. Taylor, pretldent of (he
Nntlonal Wholesale Lumber Dealers'
Association, writing from Buffalo. X. y.,
to 'the division of public works nna

States Department of Labor, does not
hesitate to say material reductions of
lumber prices will develop very slowly.
If at all.

days of the American consulate there,

of Commerce fiom Consul Mabln at
Amsterdam. Tobacco, one of the chief
export articles of previous years, en
tirely disappeared from the 1918 list.
Diamonds and seeds were the chief ex
ports of 1DI8. The decline, uccordlng
to the report, was due chiefly to export
and Import restrictions of Holland and
tho United States and to lack of shipping
facilities.

RAILROADS' FUTURE ABSORBING
TOPIC IN FINANCIAL DISTRICT
Banker Believes Government Will Return Carriers to
Private Owners Soon Thinks Fears of Financial
Outlook Unwarranted Gossip of the Street
pX)I.I.OVINn the tenteness of Tuesday, created by the failure of Con
sress to pass Important legislation., the ntmospliere In the financial
district yesterday was one of calm deliberation, but a waiting calm,
which might develop In any direction. The plight of the railroads was
naturally the main topic of discussion.
Many prominent financiers whose opinions were asked on the matter
begged to be excused, or, as one prominent banker said, "Ask me some
thing easy." There was still evident the prevailing sentiment of the
day before that In some way things would work out all right In the end.
A partner of one of the largest banking concerns In tho city, which Is
recognized particularly with railroad securities, took a very phlloiophlcal
view of the events of the last few days In Washington. He said ho
believed the railroad would very soon be turned back to the owners,
nnd ho did not believe there would be ns much difficulty In financing
them ns was anticipated. The government, he said, was responsible for
nil tho charges connected with returning them In as, good or better con
dition than when they took them over. In fact, he remarked, he had ft
very good reason to believe, notwithstanding statements to the con
trary, that every ono connected with the roads before they were taken
over Is In favor of having them back ngaln. This banker said also that
"we are nil bordering on a state of hysteria over matters whoso real Im
portance we are greatly exaggerating nt present, and when we settle
down to real business again we will some time in the future smllo at
how wrought up we had become over matters which, If left to themselves,
would solvo their own destiny." .
Little Change Expected for Railroad Bonds
It was significant that he did not expect railroad bonds to be affected
to any considerable extent by the railroad situation, no matter how It Is
finally settled.
"Tho values," he remarked, "are behind those bonds, and It would
take a lot to destroy these values."
Another banker said the weak spot In handing back the roads to the
former owners lay In the labor situation. He remarked that he antici
pated serious difficulty when It came to dealing with the railroad workers,
who, he said, had been pampered by tho government for three years.
Speaking of the effects on the country financially and economically
attending the failure of Important legislation, ho was noncommittal, as
were many others. " g
A certain broker'summed up the general sentiment on this particular
matter by quoting the classic reman, of Sir Roger tie Covcrley: "Much
might be said on both sides." -
Vanderlip's Interview Widely Discussed
The exceedingly pessimistic Interview given by Frank A. Vanderllp,
president of tho National City Bank, New York, to a New York Sun cor
respondent In Kurope, was freely discussed In financial circles yesterday,
Mr. Vanderllp, so tho correspondent stated, finds Europe In virtual
bankruptcy, with politicians trying to hide the true conditions from the
people by holding before their eyes the prospect of paying tff a big per
centage of the war debts of the .European Allied countries by Indemnity
to be received from Germany when they know that Germany Is In no
position to pay any such sums. Mr. Vanderllp finds financial conditions
In Kurope such that, he says, she may as well hang out the red flag,
and he goes on to advise New York banking interests that It would be
unwise to make any advances In the form of money or credits. As a
well-known banker remarked In speaking of the Interview, Mr, Vanderllp
smashes the hopes of those who had believed the European countries
would be large purchasers In the United States for the materials neces
sary for reconstruction.
"It Is true," he remarked, "they want these things, nnd so might I
want a yacht or a $10,000 auto, but If I haven't got the cash to buy them
I shall continue to want them."
Another banker, commenting on the Interview, said It certainly was

Hanker Thinks Germany Can Pay Big Indemnity
A financier who has Riven the I?uropcfiii situation some study said
It was surprising how quickly, a nation rould recover from a bankrupt
condition. He remnrked that In many of the opinions .ie hsil read on
the subject of Oermany's ability to pn n blR Indemnity, spiead over n
number of yeurs. enoiuh consideration hnd not been rIvcii to the stupen
dous amounts which Germany mlscd yearly In tho days before the war for
tho upkeep of her colossal army and navy, nnd now when fhese expendi
tures are no loiiRer necessary the fntne sources from which this money
came still exist to a very Inrce extent. He believed Germany can and
should be made to pay a heavy Indemnity.

A downtown bnnkcr. whote opinions on the stock tnarkrl extend
nay beyond the quotation board In his ofllce to the domestic and world
events which affect the evcr-chonclnu quotations, -ald yesterday people
do npt take Into consideration sufficiently the enormous power behind
public sentiment In tho determination of the prices of stocks. He was
answering a question as to whether the railroad situation had any
effect outside the railroad groups. There Is never nn occasion when
ceruiln event affect one Kroup of stocks, he said, that the Iniluencc of
public sentiment as applied to thnt proup doesn't extend In n creator or
less degree to all groups.
In Hpeaklnp further on the effect of sentiment in this connection, as
t affected him personally and he concluded that It also affected others
m more or less tho same way-he said he felt at present like selllntr
eerytiiinjr he had. but the other sense of caution prevented him dolnp so.
lolntiiiK to the quotation board, he said It was h true reflex of the
combined sentiment which swayed investors as it swayed himself.

That Bridge of Ships
The Sinews of Construction at once became the Sinews ot
War when it was decided to build and maintain a 3000mile
line of communication between America and Europe.
Beginning In mine and forest, every
pound of material In our Bridge of Ships
was handled again and again by wire
ropes llcntly, efficiently, expeditiously.
And ai each ship yru finished, wire ropes
put aboard the equipment and the cargo.
The mechanical stevedores of our great
dock on the other tide, wire rope equip,
ped, are the marvel of France.
From our entrance Into the great struggle,
by far the largest part of all Broderick fie.
Baicom Wire Rope produced, has been
engaged directly or Indirectly in war work.

be. st suited to every purpoM, civil and
military. Our grade! include the cI
