G, w. Eyre, who shipped lot of prize

hogs to Portland Tuesday, reports the
fact that he received 80 cents over and
above the regular top'notch price for
first class hogs. He is naturally iubil'
ant over this venture as it convinced
him that deals in prize animals is
profitable He said this afternoon that
the top price was 5000 per hundred
and that his prize hogs brought 1925
per hundred, which is convincing argu-
ment to him that farmers should pay
more attention to the raising and care
of top-notch goods. The hogs We're prize
winners at the Oregon state fair and
Mr.. Eyre says he paid fancy price for
them.

Returning Coal Cars,
Say Railroad Officials
Louisville, NoUember ~.

Assurances that they had begun the
return of all foreign coal cars held
on their lines to the owning roads
were received to-day by Commissioner
c. c. McChord, of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, from practically
every large railroad in the United
States.
The return of such equipment was
demanded by Commissioner McChord
Saturday following representations by
railroad men present at the hearings
that such a measure would provide the
quickest means of relieving the coal
shortage from which various sections
of the country have been suffering.
In addition to kilograms from the
individual roads announcing their ac-
tion. which Commissioner McChord re-
ceived to-day, the cooperation of the
Eastern roads in returning all foreign
coal car equipment on their lines was

The Shortage Of
Freight Cars

A net shortage of 10s,0l0 cars on
railway lines in the United States on
November is reported by the Ameri-
can Railway Association in its monthly
statement of freight car statistics.
The shortage increased 47,313 cars
during October, the total on October l
standing at 60,697. On September the
net shortage was 1873 and on August
there was an actual surplus Of idle
cars. On November /, 1915, the rail-
roads reported surplus of 2s,26o idle
cars. In April, 1915, the total of un-
employed freight cars was 327OS4
The association has also issued
statement showing shortages and
surpluses since 1907. During the whole
period I'D to the middle of August this
wear there has been a continuous net
surplusage of cars not in use on
American railroads except for ABOUT
one month in 1909, three months IN
1912, one month in 1918 and the month
of March this year. In 1908 there was
at one time a surplusage of $4,000 cars
and at no time during that year were
there less than 100000 idle cars.
The number of freight cars owned by
railroads of the country increased from
1891 .557 on July /, 1907. to 2,447,l7S on

The Department of Commerce has
sent out from Washington want ad.
to be released on November IA and
inserted for nothing in the news
papers. 1t is a help wanted ad. 1t
reads: "Te3 suitable men are wanted
by the Bureau of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce as trade commits
sioners and special agents" Their
pay is not to exceedS10 day, travel
ling expenses paid and 81 a day al
lowed for Subsistence" Their work
will be to investigate foreign mar
kets for American goods and for
eign opportunities for American en-
terprise. 1t is, so to speak, an ar
rand of discovery. One is to in
vestigate the market for motor We
hicles in Russia, another furniture
in South America, another metal
working machinery in Brazil and an
other hardware in Africa. One is to
investigate Investment opportunl-
ties in Russia" The government is
naive and optimistic. 1t expects by
inserting a want ad. in the newspa-
pers to find a suitable man at SO a
day to investigate investment oppor-
tunities in Russia Our excess eX-
ports of merchandise are now at the
rate Of between 312 and A billion dol
lars a year, and the government pur-
poses to spend $40 day and travel
ling expenses for ten suitable men, Sc
lected by civil service examination, to
investigate the opportunities for
American merchandise abroad. it
sounds almost ludicrous, and yet the
government is right. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that our excess of ex-
ports are at the rate of between 312
and billion dollars a year, we are
not building up a foreign trade in
the true sense Of the word. Trade
consists in the exchange of goods. 1t
is two-sided performance. What is
happening to US is that foreign GUS
toners, under compulsion of an ex-
ceptional and temporary necessity,
are buying our surplus production at
very high prices. 1t is a one-sided
transaction. We are not selling the
goods. They are being bought. The
initiative is all from the other side.
And we are doing almost nothing

FRANCE FACING
NEW TAX SYSTEM
War Loan Grows to TO-
25O,OOO,O00 Francs; More
Revenue Planned
By YVES GUYCT
IBy Cable 20 The Tribune.

Paris. Nov. 13.-Interest in the
war loan now overcomes that in the
budget for 1917. Credits asked by
the government for the first three
months of 1917 amount to 1888, OO0,-
600 francs, bringing the total since
the beginning of the war to 7O,25O,-
100000 francs.
At the same time comes the ques-
ton of a revision in taxes in order
to increase the revenue Of the coun-
try, and the Senate has begun dis
cussion of a plan for putting the tax
system on a new basis, altering the
system established in the Revolution
and in usage since 1871. In the
opinion of many it would have been
simpler 70 have adopted the Ribot
plan of increasing existing taxes.
The crisis in the means of trans
portation, which began with the war,
continues to exist, and in fact is
worse, as the number of freight cars
in the country is less than it was
two years ago. This is largely due
to the fact that less than 10 per cent
of the cars ordered in foreign coun-
tries have been delivered. 1t would
seem that here is an opportunity for
American manufacturers who are in
a position to fill contracts.
A committee of Presidents of
Chambers of Commerce has renewed
its request that an end be put to the
moratorium, or at least that interest
on debts affected by the moratorium
be declared due and collectible.
Prorogations are slowly diminish
ing. There remains now in the Bank
of France only 1,360,000,000 francs
in securities affected by the mora
forum.
