ISS:L"'-"1 Financier Calls It "Humbug ami Quotes Hun Press
Statements as Evidence
rplIK IniK-B -lioo of (irrman eonipetition, it would seein. is as nuiih of a
-L humbug as the hiiR-a-hno of the inviuelhility of the (ieriuan army ami
fleet from which a Rood many people were suffering nhout n year agn." ns
the remark of a hanker yesterday as he willed nttention to an important
article copied from the Koelnlsehc eitmiR (the Cologne Gazette) and sent
through diplomatic channels. It Is only a few years sinre the ColoRne
Gazette was considered the most powerful paper In CScrinmij. Its articles
were cnnnldered semiofficial mid it wus common knowledge throughout Ger
many that its,cditor-in-chief was the only man in all Germany the kaiser
feared wlim he was at the zenith of his power.
This article from the Cologne Gazette advocates a strict enforcement of
the law of Murch, 11117. giving the government power to mnnVatc nil for
eign securities in German hands as the only means available to pay for the
food which Germany, it says, needs badly. It goes on to say that 100.000.000
marks will be required to pay for the most necessary food supplies. Further
on the article tntcs Unit "Germany's export trade is gone, accumulated
stocks are exhausted, machinery i worn out or damaged ami the notional
debt lias assumed enormous proportion. "
"Krzberger." it says, "assumes that we lime reached the lowot rlili
economically and that our prospects are now on the upgrade." The Gazette
adds. "We cannot agree with him." It then advocates "work'" and "ordered
conditions" to produce such a result. The enormous prices of coal aie then
taken up, with the remark that the proposed socialization of the mines will
not produce the required results. In the matter of coal competition, the
Gazette evidently fears Holland, whose coal trade with Germany duriug the
war made enormous strides, and advocates the leaving of the coal export
trade to business men who understand it, rather than to the socialization
ndvocated by the present German government. ,
The banker who called attention to this statement snid that if the whole
affair is not German propapanda for n purpose it certainly shows Germany
in no condition to offer any serious competition In trade for several years
yet, and he was inclined to believe the article was n statemeut of facts.
Another hanker said he believed the article from the Cologne Gazette
was underdrawn rather than overdrawn. The imperial henltl intnissioner
of Germany, lie said, has published recently the enormous cot of the war
t Gcrtnanj. nnd this' cost was largely due to the effect he blockade of
Germnn port by the Hrithh and I'niteil Slates navies. The commissioner,
leaving out those killed in battle, said that 70."., 000 civilians died of star
vation and l.'O.OOO of influenza chielly because they were iiudei'iiniirislicd
for lack of food. The niniiev loss (hit to the blockade lie estimated at
51:1,000.000,000.
Buying Steel for Investment, Says Broker
It was evident jesterday for 11 time that many buyers of t'nitrd Stales
Steel common were not particularly concerned as to what action the directors
of the corporation might take at today's meeting on the dividends. As usual
recently, opinions were strongly divided on the outcome of tho meeting, with
the majority opinion inclined to the belief of the dropping entirely of the
extra dividend.
A broker said he believed the heavy hu.iing of the stock was by people
who are buying solely for investment, as there seems to he a well-dctined
impression that the immediate future of steel is ery promising.
They believe, he said, that the prices agreed on at the recent stabilizing
conference will stand, and should there b any change il will he upward
and not downward. It makes little difference now. he remarked, whether
the steel market is an open 'one or not. The big fellows claim they cannot
make steel for lcs and the little ones, it is well known, cannot. There
have been instances reported, he said, of priie cutting, but it is said there
is no foundation for such stories, but there does seem to he some foundation
for the reports thot if the minimum prices established by the stabilization
conference had prevailed many of the smaller producers would have been
obliged to suspend business.
Notwithstanding opinions to the contrary, there were many who believed
the I'niteil States Steel directors will follow the example of Itethlehem when
it created a precedent by splitting the extra, and there is no question that
the number who came arouud to this view yesterday was steadily gaining
grouud all day.

Lumber nd uLuck."
It's a busy morning, and our ollice 13
hummintr.
The telephone rings, and an excited con
tractor calls, "Hello, is that "Lloyd's? We're
in a fix here on the Cox operation find we
must have a 36-foot girder 20 inches square.
Everything-is held up till it comes. If you
wire, how soon can you get one here?"
"We don't need to wire. We have that size
on the wharf. We can send one out with your
next load."
"Now isn't that luck? Three hours instead
of three weeks! That saves me laying oil'
twelve men ; and say, will you send eight more
;?0-foot lengths of 12x12? We're going to run
short."
i ..
I S
'
"All right, they'll all be tlere by two o'clock."
"Luck !" Not a bit of it ! It's the luck or a
wise man in getting his lumber from stocks
that most yards can't possibly carry.
Fifty years of real service to our customers
enables us to do this.
Some contractors are always falling down
because their lumber doesn't come on time
and it's the owner who suffers.
Some day you'll build. Do you want the job
finished on time? Then see that the lumber
comes from LLOYD.
