A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

New York, Jan. THE first week
of 1911 has acted better than it's pre-
decessors in 1910 and 1909. each of
which signaliZed the new year with
a stump In values. There was a dis
tinctly more cheerful sentiment and
prices displayed an encouraging de-
gree of strength. The basis of i'm
provement is the comparatively easy
condition of the money market and
prospects of its continuance. The end
of-the-year payments have safely pass
ed and funds will soon begin to re-
turn more freely from the interior.
II Is possible that the Eastward move
ment of currency may not be quite
as early or large as at one time ex-
pected, because of the extensive Dor
rowings OF Western farmers either to
hold crops or to invest in catatle for
feeding purposes. Funds. however. de-
tanned. for these legitimate purposes
will find their way later on to the
financial centers. Perhaps the strong
est influences for cheap money are
the prevailing dullness of trade and
the late decline in both security and
commodity values: factors which have
simultaneously released a large
amount of money and increased its eff
ficiency.
Not only is the domestic money mar
ket in very satisfactory condition. but
the same remark applies TO the inter-
national money markets. Easy rates
prevail in London, Paris. and Berlin.
The situation over there is also favor
able. Funds are plentiful and there
is every prospect that Europe VIII; be
a good buyer OF securities during
1911. This is particularly true of Lon
don. for the reason that Great Britain
is enjoying extraordinary prosperity
and will have cerrespondingly large
American investments is becoming
distinctly more friendly. While the
capital by our various branches of
Observation-Disclosures State and city
lis disliked over there, this feeling is
largely II not more than counteracted
by recognition Of the increased safe.
guards which are being thrown around
American investments. The fact that
many OF the explorations which dis
graced our financial operations in pre-
vious years could not be now repeated.
together with the many restrictions
now imposed upon new issues, have
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1911-01-08

done much to regain the confidence of
foreign investors in American securi-
ties. 1t is no exageration to say that
the foreign outlook for American in
vestments is exceptionally favorable.
and enough so to prove an important
element of support. .
In the local situation there is also
considerable betterment. This must
be credited to the growing ease in
money and better investment condi-
tons. There has been much enlarg-
ed demand for bonds, especially those
exempt from taxation, and the low
prices at which many good issues can
be had make them seem exceedingly
attractive in comparison with current
rates of interest. The same remark
applies to the better class of stocks
whose dividen-paying abilities are be-
yond question. The stock market,
however. is inevitably influenced by
the somewhat unsatisfactory condi-
tons of home trade, by the delay of
the Tobacco and Oil decisions, and by
uncertainty as to what action will be
taken by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in regard to an advance
in railroad rates. AS soon as these
questions are out of the way the
stock market should exhibit increased
activity. While an earl decision from
the Supreme Court is highly desira-
BILE there WOULD seem to be no occa-
soin for special uneasiness regarding
the outcome of these cases. Should
the decisions on Tobacco and Oil be
unfavorable no great harm would re-
suit. The production and consump-
ton Of oil. tobacco, and all other pro-
ducts would go on as before: only the
forms of organization would be chang
ed. The worst that could happen
would be the temporary inconvenience
of reorganization. which. in all proba-
bility has been thoroughly anticipat-
ed by the concerns likely to be affect
ed. II should not be forgotten that
the famous Northern Securities case
excited vastly more apprehension than
the cases now awaiting decision; yet
was settled adversely without any III
effect upon the stock market More
over, our corporations have shown a
marked change OF spirit during the
last few months and are no longer
antagonistic to the law; they simply
desire an authoritative Interpretation

SO that they may know what course
is safe and within the law.
AS to the railroad cases, they are
really a more serious matter Since
the roads have been forced to make
concessions TO labor, estimated at be-
tween $100,00O,000 and $3.50, 900, 900 a
year, it seems perfectly reasonable
that they should be permitted to re-
coup at least a portion of this loss
through the means Of better rates.
Certainly there is no justice in expect
ing stockholders to stand the entire
burden, which is becoming more and
more evident: as the monthly returns
of the various roads show heavy and
very significant losses in net earn
ings. Under the circumstances it
seems probable that the roads will
obtain some concessions. for this
would be good policy on the part of
the Government, and the readiness
with which the eWstern roads last
week granted an advance to their
employees suggests that railroad man.
ayers entertain expectations of this
character. A favorable decision will
unquestionably have a widespread eff
feet upon business. Railroads which
tions will have to retrench still more
severely should no advances be per-
mitted. This would mean the throw
ing out of employment large number
of hands. 1t would also mean a con-
traction in improvements and a fur
Their reduction in the employment OF
labor. On the other hand, if conces-
sions are made to the railroads i'm
provements will be continued, orders
for equipment and rails which have
been held back for months will be
forthcoming, and the effect will of
course be to stimulate business. An
other element in the situation is that
number of important new issues are,
pending. making it desirable for bank
ing interests to keep the market in
as healthy and active condition as
possible. This is the period of the
year when such operations are car
ried on with more activity than u.s.
ual.
There is no prospect Of any pro-
longed rise in values or any unusual
activity in the market until the con-
ditions of general business improve;
but the financial situation is generally
sound and more cheerful sentiment
prevails everywhere, and these are
factors which cannot fail to have at
least moderately stimulating effect
upon values. ..-
