BEING Gradually Adjusted.

In his review Of the week touching the
various factors influencing the stock mar
kst Henry Cows has the following on the
political situation:
concerning politics in general il should
be remembered that much of the present
agitation comes from what is called So
cal unrest. The latter is a complex prob
lem and springs from various sources.
It's main Indictment, however, is the wages
question. arising from the present high
cost Of living. The latter is being slowly.
albeit painfully adjusted. In some cases
prices are declining. particularly of food
products, as a result Of last years beneh-
cent harvest. In other cases relief is
being partially effected through wage con-
cessions where the scale of pay has been
narticularly low"

BRIEF NOTES OF FINANCE

for the Investor.

n,ring a period covering the last ten
evolve years the expenditures of the
a,,onal government of Argentina have
.~ceeded the income TO the amount OF

,,ces in Argentina; each has its own
h,deet of income and expenditure which

Favorable Factors.
commenting on the situation in the
nght of developments during the week,
Wagner. Dickerson & Co have the fol-
loving:
although gold exports continue and
anancing of considerable importance is
heing arranged, money rates remain low
with supplies for stock market commit
ments sufficiently abundant. The absence
NJ great general apprehension over tar
IN changes is a decidedly favorable fac
tor Large undertakings are under way.
with consequent demands upon industrial
n1ants for supplies. 1t is clear enough
that tremendous volume of business
will be put through during 1913, what
ever may occur at Washington; and that
many corporations are to secure very lib
sral profits for stockholders. AS the time
for actual tariff legislation approaches,
Il is seen that even within Democratic
marty lines differences of opinion will so
develop as TO hold favorable possibilities
for various interests. Another construc-
tive factor marketwise will be the ex-
pected strong defence on the part of the
Steel Corporation in the suit brought by
the government, due within six weeks
from the present time. II nothing ma
terializes during the year worse than
that which has been outlined or has ac-
tuaIy occurred since the Presidential
election, we may during coming months
witness broad advance in security
prices to correct the discrepancy between
money rates and the interest yield Of
many prominent issues at current levels.
An upward tendency of prices has al
ready been sufficiently established TO
warrant purchases on all moderate con-
cessions'

Northern Mexican Trade.

Irrespective of the adverse conditions
due to the revolution in various parts of
Mexico. the northern part has shown
spots of prosperity The development of
the oil industry i'm Mexico has been re-
sponsible for considerable improvement
and has given employment 10 thousands
Of men at good wages. Consular reports
show that since May. 1911. the expectation
Of crude oil has increased so much that
the value of declared exports from the
Consular district of Tampico during the
first quarter of 1912 was about ten times
the value for the same period in 1911. Had
II not been for the oil industry the bust
ness Of Mexico would have suffered much
more severely, as exhibited by the fact
that exports in other lines decreased.
Railroad Financing.
The enormous sum which railroads will
have 10 raise. according 20 estimates
by railroad men. including the high
authority James j. Hill, may be appre-
cated in a measure by what one road,
the Pennsylvania. will probably need this
year. From $4,000, 900 TO sJD0oo,oC0 or more
may be provided by the Pennsylvania
during 1913 through the issue OF new
stock, or 1t may be that some other form
Of financing will be adopted. 1t seems to
be an accepted conclusion among those
familiar with the Pennsylvania require
ments that AT least this amount of money
must be raised The authorized stock Of
the Pennsylvania is sGO0,OoO,ooo of which
there is now outstanding Si54,0oo,o0 and
about $4,000 Is reserved against the
conversion OF ss6,S25,0oO bonds exchange
able for stock at 80. The Pennsylvania
is only one Of the railroad systems In the
United States that will have TO put out
new financing this year.

NAVY OFFICIALS SEEK
SALTS TO RIG NIAGARA.
Would Restore Perry's Flagship to
Former Aspect, If Possible.

Officials of the navy are having a
search made for old salts who saw
service in the days when sails We're
the main element of propulsion and
are familiar with the technical details
of rigging the old time sailing vessels.
They are wanted by those in charge OF
the Perry celebration to rig the famous
Niagara, recently raised out of Lake
Erie
The niagara, which was used by
Captain Perry as his flagship in the
battle of Lake Erie after the Lawrence
had been rendered useless in the fight,
was allowed to wear out in service In
stead of being preserved for future
generations. 1t was finally condemned
by Il board Of survey in 1928. sinking
soon afterward i'm Misery bay.
Under the supervision OF Lieutenant
w. l.. Morrison of Pennsylvania the
Niagara Is being put in repair for the
centenary of the battle.
When the vessel was raised from the
lake it was found that the starboard
side was gone to the point of the turn
Of the bilge. but that the port side was
intact nmidslllps to the height OF the
rail for sixty feet. Six of the original
gun ports are i'm this section. The
keel stem and stern posts and the nat
rrnl knee floor timbers are In an ex-
cellcnt state of preservation and will
be retained in the reconstructed brig.
The bulworks were of white pine, with
red cedar and black walnut stanchions,
the gun ports being ten feet apart and
thirty-siX inches square.
In some eases the action of the acid
Of the oak on the iron spikes had
eaten holes two inches in diameter in
the wood, while in other eases it had
apparently preserved the wood and
made each spike like a knot.
The Niagara was wooden brig con-
structcd by Adam and Noah Brown Of
New York at Erie i'm 1913. She was
40 feet in length and had beam of
II feet 5 inches and n displacement Of
about $50 tons. She was armed with
two long twelve FOUNDERS and eight.
cen thirty-two Founders.
