ments, either here or abroad. whatever
the cause may be, is the prime cause Of
anxiety for the future of our prosperous
activities.
The subject gains additional import
ance from the course of net earnings or
railroads revealed by reports OF Janu-
airy over last year. A general advance in
wages is given as a part of the cause. In
creased cost in other directions also re-
suits to increase operating cost largely
and makes a severe contraction in the
net earnings To effect the economies
necessary to cut down these costs, heavy
outlaws of capital are recognized to be es-
sential. The capital, however, is not TO be
had except on terms which seem to be
prohibitive of the improvements. From
this condition. of deadlock a reduction of
earnings available for dividend distribu-
ton is considered inevitable.
Aside from these considerations
threa tening the integrity of the present
rate of earnings, there is the considera-
tion of discrepancy between the rate OF
return of securities at present dividend
basis, and the higher interest rates In me
money market. 1t has become to be be-
lieved that prices of securities had been
pushed to an unreasonable level, and held
there largely by main force by the mar
ket operations of men of the very wealthy
class, the owners of the enormous for
tunes which have developed in the last
few years. The liquidation Is attributed
largely To this origin. and is regarded as
an out growth va reimbursement of ideas
of values, as measured by the course OF
the money market and a recognition of
the necessity of a scaling down of the
credit involved in sustaining the fabric OF
securities market as an artificial level in
order to effect redistribution of capital
to conform to the new requirements pre-
sented 1t is this suppostion of the
forces in the market that has given the
liuuida ton the name of the rich men
panic
As to the technical position of the mar
lxet, it is significant that commission
houses that have refrained from buying
for many months past have commenced
to advise their clients to purchase at
present levels.
There has been significant absorption
of some of the standard railroad stocks
which have suffered the severest declines
Already these have served to give them
some resistance to the falling tendency,
even in the dominant weakness of the
week S market Such evidences are &C
cepted as significant that the term OF
the liquidation is approaching. The nor
NAL sequence would be a sharp rebound
in the level of prices followed by period
of very dull speculation.
Bonds have been unsettled and weak in
sympathy with stocks.
United States IS have advanced and the
new As. y per cent on call during the
