Hindsight and Foresight.

The career of Bethlehem steel since
the war began is a mirror OF the sur
prises that the war produced. In the
confusion Of the last nineteen months
il was inevitable that much should ne
forgotten. and so for many there VIII

oven year ago. yet more IN The events
~ nineteen months. VINO would THINK
now that week after the war began
I'm Europe. when the Allies were already
confronted with their appalling snort
age of munitions. the Bethlehem steer
Corporation would find 1t necessary 10
law off 1900 workmen? Yet that Is
rxactlv what happened. And who would
have thought in March, 1915 barely
fen months ago that stock whose
highest price till then had been va
would be selling within another seven
uonths al 600? At that annual meet
inc in March Mr.. Schwab told the
Shareholders that 20.000,OOO to s3O,OUO,-
900 must still be spent in development
work and that most OF II must come

gone over into the professional class.
Debarred by the declaration of a dlVi-

Covering Up the Facts.

Specific pieces of news are often
used as bind for the real causes oil
q decline in the market, and yesterday
there seemed to he no exception TO the
rule. Brokers have complained Tor
some timo past that there were no buy ,
ers or sellers and that the traders had
10 do all the work of keeping prices
moving. When such a condition exists
and the best efforts of traders ana
speculative pools cannot recruit pun
ne following, stocks have got to 80
down. They cannot stand stu at
least not in such times as these, WIN
their compulslon TO speculation. II
was easy enough for the bears to say
Yesterday that the Bethlehem deeiara-
lion, because it was less than some
people had expected, had made holders
Of other war stocks fearful that thelr
companies' lesser earnings would also
bring disappointing dividends, but as
everybody knows. few of the owners OF
war stocks bought them for dividends
unless il was stock dividends. Prices
are what they are interested ln' not
income Yields.

COTTON BREAKS
UNDERLIQUIDATI0N
Reports of Large Crop Pros
poets in Egypt Partly Re-
spOnsibIe for Sales.

There was another sharp break in
the cotton market yesterday under re-
newed and more active Liquidation.
March contracts sold of 20 12.l6c, or
10 points under Tuesdays closing fig
ures and practically $3.50 bale under
the high level Of last week. Prices
steadied around this figure, and trading
later became less active, with the mar
ket showing rallies Of some or 8
points from the lowest Closing was
steady az a net decline Of II 10 -
points for the day.
a break in the Liverpool market and
reports that carly prospects pointed to
a record acreage In Egypt seemed to
encourage bearish sentiment and stim-
uiate the selling movement There was
less nervousness over the Mexican sit
uation, and after selling to y points
net lower right after the call prices
rallied 4 or points on trade buying
and reports that domestic spinners were
fixing prices. This demand was soon
supplied, and the market weakened
again under active Wall Street and
scattering liquidation.
Spot houses bought March contracts
on scale down, but seemed TO be sell
ing the later months against them, and
active months sold II 70 10 points net
lower before the end Of the morning.
Covering and buying for a reaction
caused the later rallies, with the de
mand encouraged by reports that
Southern spot markets were not fol.
lowing the decline in futures.
IL has been understood for some time
that the Egyptian government had re-
moved restrictions on the cotton acre
age. This mornings adyices that new
crop preparations were making active
progress IN that country under favor
able weather conditions. with prospects
for material increase in area. made
quite an impression on sentiment.
Bearish circles thought the news re-
fected the influence Of higher prices
and foreshadowed the attitude OF
Southern planters. Otherwise there
was nothing in the days news partlc-
ularly emphasized by sellers around
the ring. Some thought the decline
was more a matter OF liquidation By
March and other tired longs than o.
any special development IN the days
news.
II was rumored that the scandinavian
governments had instructed ship own
ers Of their countries not 70 make any
more time charters. but to limit their
engagements 70 one trip. This reported
action was attributed 70 a desire TO
prevent the Allies from securing con
troll of all transportation IaellltieS
through longtime charters. Reports
that the British government had de-
cided not TO commander all Brtish
tonnage TO regulate freights, but tnat
efforts we're being made 20 coordinate
the transportation OF munitions ana
foodstufs. that tonnage mighe be re
leased for other trades. attracted ohiy
nassing attention. There were reports
from Memphis that ocean freight room

Bonds Quickly Taken.

In the bond market there is encour-
ogement for the belief that nothing is
happening to the stock market as a
~ .TF 70 that cennot be readily repaired;
that is. while individual stocks may
su~er. The share-list generally stu has
much TO discount. Bonds were irreg-
.ular Yesterday. but they were stiil IN
good demand, and the prompt sale OF
the ST. Paul 1 per cent. dollar bonds
secured by the French franc bohus aI
- relatively high price as 90. shows
,bat there are buyers enough for seeur-
tics Of the better class. On the curb
the bonds changed hands to the amount
Of t' $50 600 at prices ranging from 9b4'

DEPUTIES AT WORK
ON WAR PROFIT TAX
Bank Statement Shows Increase
in Gold Holdings, De-
crease in Loans.
by YVES GUlOT.
tS-Min,tr OF Public WORKS. Editor "L'bssnee
Eccnsmluus et Flnsnolere."

EooncmlOue ct Flnsnoere."
Paris, Jan. 20.-When he brought
before Parliament his plan for tax
ing war industries NJ. Ribot, Min
lister Of Finance, gave some new de
tails on the y per cent loan, showing
its success TO be even greater than
had been thought. NJ. Ribot said
that the total Of the subscriptions
equalled 1890, 100000 francs, at the
par value Of the loan. or 13,3l4,000,-
600 francs at the issue price. Deduct
from this 100000 francs saved by
those who paid their subscriptions in
full at the time Of taking their bond,
and the actual subscriptions 90 the
loan equalled S2,54G, 100000, Of
which $1,224,6oO,OOO is in new
money.
1t is evident, however, that the
huge monthly cost of the war will
require the government soon to find
new resources, and it is probable,
therefore, that the issue of bonds Of
national defence will begin again.
But the next loan will have TO be
speculative, with the amount fixed in
advance, and, as in peace times, sub
scriptions accepted for many times
the amount of the loan.
In any case, however, Parliament
has 10 vote immediate credits TO pay
interest on the national debt, and
means will have to be found outside
of new loans to supply that money.
The first plan proposed is to tax
war profits on a sliding scale. The
plan is actually in the hands of the
finance committee of the Chamber Of
Deputies now. 1t proposes to tax the
excess over normal profits, the nor
NAL to be found by taking the aver
age for the years 1911, 1912 and
1913. IN addition, the interest on
debts and loans. the cost of raw ma
terial, general expenses and upkeep
of plan will be deducted from the
taxable sum.
1t is estimated that the deductions
proposed will reduce by 5,OOO,OOO,OO
francs the sum left subject TO tax.
The Bourse has been very salts
factory, and the new loan we'll sup
ported. There have been many Of
fers Of per cent rentes to purchase
the new loan.
The bank statement shows little
change except that there has been a
slight increase in gold holdings and
decrease in loans.
