Stocks and Investments.

The action of the stock market in
recent weeks continues to reflect the
waiting attitude of the investing pub
lie. which is apparently waiting in
patience for the solution of grave in
ternational problems. The majority
of Wall street commission houses are
advising their customers to exercise
extreme caution in selecting their Sc
curity purchases, pending a satisfac-
tory adjustment of the German sub
marine question, which il seems will
never be settled until it is settled
right.
There is thus marked feeling of
conservatism in the financial and
speculative markets, and caution ap-
pears in every quarter. This has
been reflected in the disposition of
the, larger commercial banks to limit
their loans on stock exchange COL
lateral. and to mark down the borrow
ing value of number of securities
which have suddenly risen in the
estimation of those who are eager to
purchase them at rapidly increasing
prices This conservatism is also
shown in the policy of the directors
OF the larger corporations in with
holding the unusually large earnings
Of the past year from distribution
among their stockholders, preferring
to use these extra earnings for the
building up of substantial surpluses
against future developments
There is still feeling of great I'M
certainty as to the worlds commercial
and financial condition after the war.
and no one will question the wisdom of
the directors in carrying out the pol-
icies referred to above. Furthermore.
the ominous rumbling of tn presi-
Dental election, which comes in the
latter part of this year, is already
heard in the distance, and conservative
business men know full well the nm
setthne lnuences of a presidential cam
palsn- The stock market therefore

transactions are much peIow the aver

Protecting the Gold Supply.

How to protect the present abnor-
NAL American gold supply from de-
pletion after the war through the eX
cessive demands of Europe for the yell
| low metal is a question which is now
engaging the serious attention of the
federal reserve board. That there will
be a serious attack on the gold reserve
of this country after the conclusion of
peace there can be no doubt. The only
uncertain factor in the situation is the
date when peace will come. but when
ever il does come there is trouble
ahead for the United States, and very
properly the federal reserve board is
resolved to be prepared for the day of
difficulties.
Reports from Washington state that
it is proposed as a means of security to
establish in Europe agencies of the
federal reserve banks Already Gov.
Strong of the federal reserve bank of
this city is in England looking into
the financial situation anu seeing what
can be done to prepare a currency sys-
tenn for the strain to which it will be
subjected after hostilities have ceased
and the reVersion to normal conditions
enSues
obviously. the primary purpose of
federal reserve bank agencies abroad
would be the purchase of bills of eX-
change after the war which might be
used to obviate the necessity of gold
exports. This course would enable the
federal reserve board to influence the
rates of exchange. and in this way to
strengthen the position of the new
financial system.

Decres in Unemployment.

The decrease of unemployment, and
consequently of want and suffering
among the working classes, is very ap-
parent in New York city, and is empha-
sized by the inability of the municipal
officials to find sufficient workmen Tor
the task of removing the snow from
the city streets. Last year at this
time many skilled workmen who were
uut of employment were glad to stand
n line and handle the shovel for what
ever they could get, in order to provide
he bare necessities of life. This year
here is even dearth of the cheap
labor that is almost always III excess
supply in the Writer months.
Similar reports reach this center
from every outlying section, and with
peace and plenty as the watchw ora,
this country should be able to accumu-
late a surplus that will not only be
largely instrumental in building up the
ravages made by the European con-
fiict, but will place the United States
in a much more farorabl financial
position among the nations of the
earth. 1t is rather singular that with
all her wealth and aff1uence the United
States has always been reckoned as q
debtor nation" If. however. as much
progress is made in succeeding years
as has been made during the last
twenty months we shall doubtless oc-
cupy our rightful credit" position be-

Gold Accumulation Abnormal.

The unprecedented volume of exports
to Great Britain and France during the
war has caused an abnormal accumula-
ton of gold in this country, so that the
American gold total now exceeds
$4,000. 100000 which sum is greater
than that ever held before by any two
nations in the world. The immediate
purpose of Gov Strong's mission, how
ever. is to protect the gold supply
rather than to promote any objects of
general policy.
1t is believed in financial circles that
after the restoration of peace, when the
belligerent nations seek to gain their
industrial independence, they will
make vigorous effort to recover the
gold previously sent to this country
In pursuance of this object foreign
financial leaders may insist upon gold
payments, even al sacrifice of profits
Through the establishment of foreign
agencies the reserve banks could buy
a large amount of bills of exchange
and in this way meet the payments of
American importers without drawing
on the gold supply. At present, how
ever, the reserve boards plans are
purely tentative. and nothing in the
way of establishing agencies abroad
will be taken until after the end Of the
war. While hostilities continue the
gold supply will not be attacked and
it is not necessary to face any emer-
gency before it occurs.
