Railway Earnings Not Hopeful.

Instead OF the former contingent of job
bers the retail merchants of the country
now deal direct with manufacturers
through resident buyers maintaining Of
fees in New York and through manu-
facturers and selling agencies established
in the leading cities in the west and
south. The Clafiin Company belonged TO
commercial period which has passed
away. and it may be regarded in the ma
ture of the phenomenon that this house
has enjoyed so prolonged a survival
The reports of railroad earnings which
are now coming to hand are not of a very
hopeful nature. The Southern Pacific
reports heavy losses in gross and net,
while Atchison, its chief competitor, re-
ports small net gain. All well man
aged roads in the west and middle west
are actively preparing 10 handle the
crop movement. which now promises to
exceed all previous records.
The great essential for business is a
speedy settlement OF the many questions
still in doubt such as the eastern district
rate case and the antitrust and railroad
bills now before Congress II can now
accommodate itself to the tariff bill.
which has created little disturbance in
any important trade except the sugar

federal Treasury has as much money as

Income Tax Returns Short.

The income tax returns fell below the
estimates. but that will be corrected
when the delinquents know more about
the pains and penalties of tax lodging. a
lesson already well learned by importers
and those subject to ordinary internal
revenue laws. President Wilson is deter
mined to make Congress finish its work,

Some London Nervousness.

In London the Grenfell failure is prov
ing to have ramifications much wider
than was at first supposed. This is caus-
ing some nervousness, but. nevertheless.
London correspondents agree that the
so-called "gilt-edged' market is being
well maintained
The much advertised civil war over
the home rule bill is evidently fading.
while a reduction in the income tax that
has Just been announced may perhaps be
considered a favorable omen of truth in
the tide of antagonism which seems TO
exist in Britain quite as freely as at
home against property rights
A general election is believed to be IN
sight, which would suggest a period OF
considerable further irregulartty in the
London Stock Exchange
At home one of the chief questions
agitating the minds of the business COM
munity was the probable outcome OF the
,-laf1in failure, and its influence upon
trading conditions. 1t is now confidently
believed that the effects of the failure
will not be as serious as first reports
seemed to indicate Though the Clafiin
paper. which included the paper of sub
sid,ary stores indorsed by the parent
concern, was usually in demand and
widely distributed. the probabilities OF
getting together sufficient cash to meet
these obligations are daily becoming more
apparent.

Good Influences Absent.

Although trading in the stock market
has been reduced to its lowest minimum,
the reason is believed to lie in the alb
sence of good influences, rather than in
the preponderance of the bad. In other
words, Wall street is more concerned over
the railroad freight rate proposition and
the administration antitrust program,
than it is over physical catastrophes and
political calamitieS.
The foreign financial markets are quiet.
though they can hardly be called weak
Paris has not yet fulfilled expectations
that were current of an active and con-
fdent market designed by the large finan-
cial interests to provide a favorable re-
ception for the new French national loan
of SOO,OO0.O0o francs. which Is to be OF
fered at an attractive price July 4. How
ever, it Is not too late to expect that the
French banks will. as usual, intervene
for this purpose.

PRESIDENT ASKS
THE COUNTRY TO
SUPPORT ROADS

Washington, Sept. 10.-President
Wilson has acceeded to the request
of the railway executives who asked
him to "call the attention of the coun-
try to the pressing necessity for sup
port of railway credits by the CO.
operative and sympathetic support of
the public and all governmental au-
thorities.'
Today he sent a letter to Chairman
Frank Trumbull of the Chesapeake &
Ohio board pointing out that a great
measure of the nations prosperity is
dependent on the condition of the rail-
roads.
President Wilson's letter to Mr.
Trumbull follows:
"Since you read it to me yesterday.
have read again the statement you
made in behalf of the committee of
railroad presidents whom 1 had the
pleasure of meeting and comforting
with at my office. 1t Is lucid state
ment of plain truths.
"You asked me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever feast
BILE, of governmental agencies; and
am glad to do so, because ! think the
need very real.
At tho Heart of Investments.
1T cannot say that [ entertain any
deep anxiety about the matter. except
of course, the general anxiety caused
by the unprecedented situation of the
money markets of the world-because
the interest of The producer, the ship
per- the merchant, the investor, the
fnancier, and the whole public in the
proper maintenance and complete eff
ficiency of the railways is too mani
fest. They are Indispensable to ouI
whole economic life and railway Sc
investments, large and small public
and private, by individuals and insti-
tutions.
Il am confident that there will be
active and earnest cooperation in this
matter, perhaps the one common in
terest of our whole industrial life. I'm
doubtedly men both in and out of Of
fetal position, will appreciate what is
involved and lend their aid heartily
wherever it is possible for them to LEND
it.
But the emergency is in fact ex-
traordinary, and where there is mani
fest common interest we ought all o
us TO speak out in it's behalf, and
am glad to join you in calling atten.
ton to 1t. This is a time for all Il
stand together in united effort to com
prehend every interest and serve anC
sustain it in every legitimate way.
The laws must speak plainly ant
effectively against whatever is wront
or against the public interest, and thes,
laws must be observed; for the res
and within the sphere of Legitimate
enterprise we must all stand as one t
see justice done and all fair assistanc,
rendered and rendered ungrudgingly.
