WITH THE EDITORS

The reclamation Of swamp lands as
a national enterprise is advocated by
Herbert NJ. Wilson OF the United States
geological survey in the May issue of
the Geographic Magazine.
Naturally he cites the success of the
government in reclamation of arid
lands by irrigation as a precedent and
argument for federal ditching and
draining The reclamation service esti-
mates that in the next twenty FIVE
years an area of 100000 acres may
be redeemed by irrigation Mr.. viii
son claims that a much greater area
may be rescued from the swamps. pro-
vided the drainage works were under
taken by the government with vigor
equal to that devoted to irrigation re-
clamation.
IN the United States are over 10000
600 acres OF swamp or overflow lands.
II II We're possible to reclaim by drain
age 25,000.0 600 acres of these swamps,
says Mr.. Wilson. the land values of the
country would be increased by more
than $4,000, o0o,0 600. and crop values By
equal than $3.50, 100000.
4 swamp area of special interest TO
Chicago is the Kankakee marshes,
which cover about one-haf million
acres distributed over seven counties In

Bullish wheat markets and the IN
favorable crop reports have depress-
ing effect on stocks. but this is more
artificial than real, for it is a ques-
ton whether there has been much
actual liquidation on this account. Last
year the railroads were confronted by
traffic difficulties seldom met with, on
account Of scarcity Of equipment and
immense amount of traffic offering.
Operations were carried on under most
uneconomical conditions, yet a fine
showing was made. Now, the fact that
there will not be enough wheat TO haul
is advanced as powerful bear argu-
ment on railway shares. We do not
agree with this view. and as yet see no
danger in the situation. General pros
perity will scarcely be affected by any
development that has taken place thus
far in the agricultural regions. Bust
ness has been hurt by unreasonable
weather. but this is looked upon by
some shrewd observers as a blessing in
disguise. For iron, steel and copper and
the vast majority Of manufactured
products there is a satisfying demand
and the outlook promises well. The
good rails not involved in further
heavy financing should be brought on
recessions. especially the Harripan and
Hill issues. St Paul, Atchison, Penn
syIvania, Baltimore & Ohio. Reading,
Louisville and Atlantic Coast Line.
Copper. steel and sugar may also be
| bought for turns on breaks.

Viewed as many brokers viewed 1t,
as an attempt to swing large dog by
the tail, the movement in Lead was
not a conspicuous success. Lead, it was
supposed, was but the means to an end.
and that end was to start movement
In American Smelling and Refining that
would revive interest, in the bewhisk-
cred and grizzly rumors about the al
legged purpose of the directors of this
company to put its common stock on
a ten per cent. basis. But when the
tail was jerked it came away and the
body remained practically fixed and
immovable, the public apparently car
ing as little about it's position as about
that of every other stock on the list
which meant that they were wholly un-
concerned about it's fate. 1t was sim
ply case of apathy all around. The
weakness in Chesapeake & Ohio and
Baltimore & Ohio, especially the former,
was the result of a revival of rumors
of prospective new financing. The
street as a whole did not like the idea
of further issues Of securities, over
the fact that Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific, General Electric and Delaware

nounced new issues to an aggregate
amount of $134,O00,OOO and Of the prob

One of the original ideas advanced
to explain the strength Of Amalga-
mated Copper in the early trading Sat
urday in contrast with the more or
less reactionary tendency in other qart-
tiers was to the effect that a concerted
movement is about to be instituted to
advance copper stocks and make them
attractive speculatively, so as to divert
attention from the railroad issues which
suffer either from past Investigations,
prospective Investigations, or present
and prospective monetary requirements.
No special foundation for any such ru-
NOR could be found and traders who
are interested in the copper stocks were
not inclined to pay any great attention
to this statement. 1t does not require
any particular foundation for such ru-
mors to obtain a ready circulation,
particularly if there is any element of
plausibility in their makeup. Some
traders thought it might be a good
strategic move, but others pointed out.
with the present limited trading in any
of the stocks there was no especial rea-
son for strategy.-New York Times.
