'" epieseiireu at the meetlnp; by KdwarU T. (iulgley. actlne; solicitor of
the Department of Commerce, lends color In such suspicion. Some con
tend that If the go eminent had kept hands oil' and allowed the mutter
to adjust Itself in the regular order of business it would have adjusted
itself t least n mouth ago. Others ttalm thai in that ee.nt there
would have been no lowering In steel prices, and as the government is in
the market for larnc quantities for naval construction as well as for mil
road betterments and equipment, it was nccessars n take the steps
which are now being taken.
When speaking of the possibility of an agreement between the steel
men to fix pikes in conceit at the meeting, a broker said ho could not
see how sm-li a move would be legal. If the "gentlemen's agreement"" of
the famous (Jarj dinners weie illegal.
Anxious for Hincs's Conference With Railroad Chiefs
There was some disappointment expressed in the financial district
esterday over tho postponement by Director Ceneral Mines of the meet
ing at Washington between himself und the committee of railroad ex
ecutives. A certain banker when speaking of the mutter said he under
stood the ruih-oads under government operation and supervision were
aUpresent running behind the btundaril contract compensation terms at
'a rate of more than $40,000,000 a month. Me also said that, either
through faulty distribution of equipment or ,1 lack of business, more than
250.000 cars ure lying Idle at various points ail over the eoiiiitrj.
"Of course," ho remarked, "thut In itself is not a very serious matter,
and was expected ul'ter the signing of the armistice changed the whole
Industrial complexion of the country." Me added that as soon as a
number of Industrial prolilems which are now being woiked out are set
tled the wheels of industry would begin to hum again, ajid when the
harvests of the South ami Southwest begin to move every one of these
cars will be needed and manj more besides.
This banker also stated that the gres.it problem facing Uiiector (iep
eral Mines Is the labor .situation. lie claims that the goernmenl when
it took over the mlhoads caleied lo and coddled labor, until now labor
has the upper hand und will not submit to any lowering of wages. It i
mpossih'.e, he said, lo run Ihe roads with the present wage s,Mie without,
another inciea.se In rates. In order to avoid a big monthly delicit.
Another banker said he believed if the railroads got a fair tti.il
under the present management and under nonmil conditions tlie would
make a much better showing. As to the labor question, he rem-.uk-,d
that a 1 eduction in living costs is so palpable a precedent to a lowering
of wuges that it is Idle to expect one without the other. He said he
understood Director lleneral Mines Intends lowering the .ost of operation
b cutting out all overtime, and to do so he intends emplm ing mote
men to work during the regular limit's only.

AIan financiers in tins city hae Irec.v expies-sed their opinions
as to the pos-lble result of the coming Victory Mlierty I.oun. They hic
vlrluully unailimous In saying thut the loan will lie placed in the time
specified, but they are divided on the subject of long-term bontl and
short-term notes. There is. besides, a ery intelligent minorit.i who
contend thut it would ha e been a better plan for the government to
have continued the Issuance of certificates of .indebtedness to ine"t the
curient expenses until business would have lesiimed a more normal
condition.
They s.i that with the pioceeds of these certificates: and the income
ami other taxation returns, the launching of a loan could have been
postponed lor a later and more satisfactory peiiod. .Many also main

believed Ihe principal buying of the last week or so came from tile
other side of tile .Mississippi. It is said, he icmarked, that the wealth
plungers of the West. iarticulail of Chicago, are in the market btijing
regardless of either prices oi news. Tills Is especially true of the steel
stocks, which are subject to vei y erratic movements recently.
Tills western buying power, according to fimiiicieis, is malnlj due

Holders of such bonds are referred to the appended announce
.ment of Messrs. Drexel & Co. as to the terms .of the extension
offer.
The Jefferson Railroad Company,
By F. D. Underwood,
Vice-President.
Philadelphia, .March 19, 1S1H.
Iteieri-liiB to the abote notice, the extension privilege uppjles only
to tho holders of such bonds who shall deposit the same with us at our

J, P. Morgan & Cq, No. 23 Wall Street, New York City, on or before

$100,000,000 a1: per cent French Hepublic convertible notes, which on
April I are ledeemable in Paris tit .".."i. francs to the dollar.
Arrangements ale belny made lo finance the $3,2.'.u,uuu South Carolina
and (ieorgia Katlroud first mortgage gold bonds which mature on .Muy 1.
According to reports, an effort Is being made to extend these bonds for
a period of ten years at the same rate of Interest, but present holders
unquestionably will be given some Indiiieinent In connection with the
exchange.
This issue covers the Carolina illusion of the Southern hallway Com
pany, and the financing is being, taken up at this lime because of '.he
fact that the Victory Loan campaign will extend beond the date on
which the bonds mature, and It is hoped to arrange the matter prior in
the beginning of the government securlt offering In order not to con
flict wllh .the ell'orts of the Washington authorities.
Dealeis yesterday in discussing the bond-market situation stated that
there had been u steady decrease in inquiries for and sales of railroad
bonds since prices of Liberty Bonds bad eased off to a point showing 'a
better Inducement to the Investor than the corporate issues.
Insurance companies and savings banks have been subsiautidl buyers
of Iaberty Honds, and this is accepted as indicating that the period of
distribution is about over and that quotations will gradually improve.
The opinion of experts is that no improvement In the regular bond
market need be looked for until well after the date of closing of the
Victory Loan campaign.
The shoit-terin-note market was a dead uttitir .vesterduj . .theie ap
pearing to be little initiative on the part of purchasers to take on fresh
commitments.
