New York, Nov. 9.
At last the long deferred security
issues have been announced. Penn
sylyania will issue about $80,000,000,
New York, New Haven and Hartford
$50, 100000 and New York Central
about s45000,000, total OF about
SITS, 100000. Considerable of these
new issues will be used to cover re-
funding operations, the amount OF
new capital obsorDed being campara'
lively small, and the demands upon
she money market cofrespondingly
light. To a very considerable extent
these issues will represent the forced
borrowing by the railroads on short
term notes during the exceptional
stringency which accompanied the
panic of 1907. A portion of this indebt-
edness is held abroad, but as these
transactions will mainly consist of an
exchange of securities, they are not
likely to have much effect upon our
international balances. Their an
nouncement however, at this time
means that monetary conditions and
the financial outlook are more salts
factory to the great bankers who
guide these operations than they
have been at any time since midsum-
mer. The belief is general that the
money market has seen its worst pc
riod of strain, and that while firm
rates may be anticipated for the bal
ance of the year, no serious stringen-
cy is anticipated beyond possible
temporary fluctuations.
Abnormal Case improbable.
AS soon as present crop moving lie
mands have subsidized, rates may fall
to a lower level, than now exists, but
a return to the abnormal ease which
prevailed in 1908 and 1909 is not prob
able. On the contrary, higher rates
of interest must be expected as q
practical certainty during the coming
year Trade is steadily expanding
and on the basis of present higher
prices a considerably larger amount
of money is required to do a giver
volume of business than has been the
case at any time since the panic. Sc
curity values and commodity values
are both upon an extraordinarily
high plane, higher than at any time
since the panic, all of which material
lily affects the demand for money and
the rates of interest. Bank reserves
are much lower than a year ago, and
loans continue at very high level In
spite of recent liquidations and shift
ing of loans to Europe. Usually We
are importing gold at this season, bu'
the situation just now is more favor
able to an outward movement Of the
lprecious metal than an influx.

Equalization Due.

Some process of equalization is
due, and just how this will come can.
not be predicted. The steel trade
cannot keen up its present activity
indefinitely; neither can the cotton
industry go on without some relief to
its present difficulties, Time alone
will solve these problems, but they
are sufficiently complex to warrant a
spirit of caution in all commercial
and financial transactions affecting
the future. One effect of present high
prices is the brewing substitution Or
adulteraton of one material by anoth,
er of inferior grade or less cost. Short
weights and short measures, too. are
often resorted to in order to squeeze
out profit which high costs prevent
Our center of gravity has been raise
too high, and lasting stability cannot
be expected until equalization has re
stored the equilibrium and prices gen
orally com down TO a less speculative

Sober Feeling Prevails
On the Stock Exchange here a
more sober feeling prevails, reckless

recognition of the fact that prices are
very high and offer little inducemenl
to investors under present conditions
in the money market. 1t is recognized
I, that more or less initiation is prevalent
and that if interest rates advance il
will be serious obstacle to further
rise in values. There is, nevertheless
a hopeful undertone since the activ
ity in trade gives strength to the in
dustrials, while continued large rail
road earnings afford good support tc
railroad securities. Phenomenal ac
,tivity is still the rule in the Stce
trade, both orders and production sur

An 4 lIYesfisine j. Farmer.

In recent issue of the Printers
Ink London correspondent Of the
publication tells how grower OF
potatoes in Norfolk has built up a
thriving business by advertising his
product in the metropolis and sell
ing direct to the potato eaters. Here
is a subject to which President
Roosevelt's commission on country
life might have devoted its attention
with great advantage to the farmer,
believes the Huntington Advertiser.
Since time immemorial there has.
been widespread complaint from
agricultural quarters over the exact
ions of the middlemen who pass the
fruit of the soil along to the custo-
mer. The daily newspapers of the
great cities are open channels of
communication between the farm
ers and those for whose ultimate.
benefit they till the land. Why.
don't the farmers advertise? Why.
shouldn't they add to their meager
gains the profits of distribution at
tainahle through newspaper exploita-
ton OF such staples as can he handi-
~ shipped to thousands OF city fam
ilies who would be glad TO get their
food supplies direct from the farm?
