One prominent banker said Unit he hoped the experi ence gained by some of these unscru pulous and scheming Individuals would prove of valuo to them iu the future, particularly as developments of this character are not such ns to promote a truly healthy condition in the trade. Freight 'tonnage Still Light Officials of railroads operating east ftom Chicago and Ht. T.ouis report about the same total volume of businesb as the previous w'eek, with gronn ton nage running 10 to 10 per cent less than a year ago. The cotil movement continue to run much short of u y-eur ago, the result of nnialler needs for industrial concerns and lighter fuel reauiremcntM, As this item is n big one with all of the eastern I roads, it is u material factor in cutting ' into the total shipments. Lumber and building supply materials also arc of fered sparingly, and the shipments from steei and iron centers show no improve ment. There has been a larger movemen! of corn cast to the seaboard, which has helped bring up the total tonnage to some extent the export movement being of fair proportions. General merchan dise continues to- fall materially below a year ago. Officials of southern roads report ton nage 11 to Iff per cent short of 1020 in the corresponding period.

The important fact not to he overlooked is despite the unsettling surrounding Influences, and the un checked depreciation of.securilv values, there has been actually little teal li quidation While prices hnto fallen bnck dose lo the low levels of last December, there has been no evidence of the hjsterhi which accompanied the downward swing in that period. To the contrur, all jelinblo signs point to a material ex tension f the short interest us result of the complete and unopposed domina tion of the professional element, which .sooner or Inter must be covered Big strides are being made toward n ies (oration of norinnl economic conditions. The curative tetnedles nppli'd have noi been ery palatable doses, but rnr- i reaching results are being obtnined The new.- srlminUtrntlnn is alrendr nt work lo restate the confidence of the people of the country. From now on we should look for constructive and not destruc tive policies Hughe X Oler -- Internally, th. gteute't overshadowing condition nuik ing for .i pessimistic outlook is the inilro-id situation, which, ns nil intel ligent observer. must admit, Is at the present moment in a distressing and unfavorable state Haddled with wage scales, butdensome and almost ltnbear uble in the manner of commutation and Hie wme t In- nnid. railroad managc- iniiits are striitftfline with the problem in hand which nt the moment seems im possible of solution, Tho situation surrounding the rail roads, while nerplexlng and embar rassing, is now so serious Mint it seems highly ptobnbl" that concerted action will be tnken tending to remove ob structions and plpre I ne toads on a basis where operating expenses cm be paid nnd ;in honest return made on the invested capital which has piovided our transportation lines. .lones & linker With the Mai eh ! taxes soon out of the wnv, ecurities tire expected to give n better account of themselves, particularly- if reports of business improvement continue to ac cumulate. It is being recalled that nftei March lfi last year the market enjojed a substantial raltv Ileeker Co. - Disappointment in Mie action of the market hns caused considerable selling by those. who thought the market would have an ad vance after the inauguration. Consid ering tho large amount of railroad stocks sold during the week, the decline were not ns big as might have been expected. Best opinion is the selling is being very much overdone in this fun damental part of the market. If the general situation was morfc favorable ttio cutting down of wages Would be viewed ns bullish instead of bearish. The Street can only think of possible strikes, nnd lowering of dividends. As to the former, there are already too many men out of work to encourage strikes. As to the latter, such rumors are only propaganda to help the decline along, and ate nnturally doing a lot of harm by inducing unnecessary sac rifices. Till: TKADKH.
