MARKETS MINING, AND METALS

published interviews by several lead
ing financial authorities. Probably
some part of the underlying strength
OF railroad stocks is due to the con-
Vlction that process of reimbursement
OF freight rates is being worked out
by the railroads of the country which
Will result in an increase of the rev.
enues derived from their traffic. News
OF the filing of notices with the in
terstate commerce commission of new
rates shows the movement to be wide
spread and the changes to represent
increases as rule. While nothing
like a general increase has been at
tempted thus far, it is not believed
that the result will be sought in a
piecemeal manner. Shipping inter-
ests are by no means agreed with the
contention of the railroads that
these increases can be instituted
without perceptible effect ON prices
OF commodities, and can thus hope
TO escape complaint and criticism
while enabling the railroads to cover
the margin of fixed charges and mod
crate profits, without cutting down
wages of employees. In spite of pro-
tests Of shippers in various organiza-
tions, 1t is evident that the increases
of freight rates are going on, and the
effect on securities prices is unde-
niably favorable. The quick sale of
the Delaware & Hudson before issue
and the advance in premiums ON the
new bonds in the market had some
helpful influence.
