Butting Against Facts

DR.. +. f. Pratt, chief of the Bureau
Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
in an address before the American
Manufacturers Export Association
among other things. said:
"The first false premise is that the
nroducts of the nation can be export
ed before the domestic needs are sat-
isfied"
Just now, when wheat and flour are
seeking the empyrean blue, and when
domestic wants are not satisfied, ana
when the cost of living Is mounting
skyward. our wheat and -four continues
to be exported in an enormous guam
tity. We have not filled the needs OF
domestic consumption. but we are
sending wheat and -four abroad on
large scale. Europe's demand is fix-
ing the price which American consum-
ers of wheat and flour must pay. DR..
Pratt apparently needs to make an
other study Of economic conditions.

The Rise in Cotton Goods

Retail quotations are rapidly being
advanced to points which more nearly
correspond with the selling prices for
finished goods to-day, but il is likely
that many more advances of radical
character will occur. There is absolute
certainty in distributing channels that
the prices Of cotton goods will continue
at levels higher than have been noted
for some years. 1t is not contended that
cotton goods prices will remain at their
present levels, although this is probable
if the price of cotton remains high or
advances, but the low quotations noted
some years ago are not expected either
in the near or in the distant future.
Buyers adopted an attitude which made
cotton goods altogether too cheap, and
il is unlikely that such conditions will
be noted in the future.-American Wool
and Cotton Reporter.

The Workers Attitude

The workers, especially in the coal
mines, are taking q curious view of the
Eastern coal situation. They argue that
the market is assured for the winter.
This guarantees them work whenever
they want to do it. Since they can
work any day they please and as many
days as they choose, they are perfectly
easy about their meal tickets. Any time
they need a little money TO buy some
things they can go to the mines and
make it. They know they will be well
coined. SO the miners are taking their
time about working. If it is a bright
and sunshiny day, when it would be
more pleasant above than below ground,
they decide to go squirrel hunting and
have q little fun. It is the same spirit
which occasionally induces the execu-
tives to knock off work and to go out to
the links for an afternoon. The miners
surely take things easily these days

The New Era

Twenty years ago pioneer farmers
in the Cherokee strip of Oklahoma
were berating the fact that their claims
had been taken away from the cattle
mans range and opened to settlement
Hundreds Of farmers, discouraged by
the failures the first two or three sea-
sons, pulled up their stakes and left
or sold their claims for song. AL
falfa County, of which Cherokee is the
county seat, was in the heart of this
district. How times have changed!
At a recent community meeting of
farmers on farm near there automo-
biles worth more than a million dol
lars were parked. Alfalfa County now
boasts of more automobiles than any
other county in the state not posses

CANADA ALSO PAYING
HIGH PRICES FOR FOOD
Heavy Exports Include Eggs and
Poultry Produced in u. S.
Washington, November 16.

Washington, NoUember 10.
Nearly all commodities Of foods in
Canada show considerable increase In
price over last year. according to re-
ports reaching Washington. This in
crease is due In great part to the
large shipments Of foods to the United
Kingdom. 1t is interesting to note
that the large exports of eggs. poultry
and butter from Montreal to the United
Kingdom are almost wholly Of the
American product.
Canada has imported many thousand
cases of eggs from the United states
and then shipped them to England;
exports from Montreal alone for the
season so far amounts to 2o1,s3o cases.
This has had a tendency to boost the
nrice in Canada. Eggs are now bring
ing from 10 to rs cents dozen. and
it is predicted that prices will 90 to
a still higher level. Poultry and butter
are also being exported from Montreal.
and tend TO create higher prices for
homo consumption. Flour Is selling at
slO.sO a barrel; vegetables are selling
to-day for practically the same prices
as last year and apples are slightly
cheaper.
The following table gives the prices
of some of the principal foods in COM
harrison with the prices of year ago:

The first big war loan was the
Anglo-French issue of $500,000,000
5 per cent notes. They were sold at
a price that made the yield 5S per
cent. They have declined from SO
to 80, and the yield to the investor
who buys them now is little more
than per cent. The cost of that
money to Great Britain and France
at the time was approximately 6 per
cent, and the commissioners who
came to this country to close the
contract were criticised at home for
selling the "two-name" paper of the
two most powerful financial coun-
tries in the world at discredited
price. What could be better than
a note Endorsed jointly by Great
Britain and France? Nothing could
be better intrinsically, perhaps, and
yet one year later the British are
lending their own money TO their
own government on 6 per cent Ex-
chequer bonds, which are as good as
money IL they believe in the solvency
of Great Britain, whereas both Of
the British loans that followed the
Anglo-French loan in this country
are selling to yield less than 6 per
cent. 1t is now proposed that the
British government shall offer Treas
ury bills here. or some other form
of unsecured paper, in unlimited
amounts, and beforehand it is under
stood that we shall be obliged TO
take them at a rate of interest which

vances given to manufacturers and
farmers, the profits from war orders,
which have enabled many trades not
only to pay old obligations, but also to
increase their plants without recourse
to banks, and, above all, the increased

So far as we can see, there is no
end of it. The whole affair appears
to be moving at a self-accelerating
rate of speed to no definite point in
space or time. Germany has adopted
industrial CONSUMPTION and has be-
gun to impress the conquered people.
Great Britain has decided to have a
food dictator to regulate the dis
tribution Of food which royal com
mission has been charged to provide.

tons point rather to rise in the

be surprised to see large tide OF
skilled workmen go TO Europe as
soon as peace is established.
There is no doubt in my mind
that Europe's need for workers Will
be as great after the war as is her
present need of soldiers. And that
will force wages up. Wages will go

tants. They will not want to live in
the atmosphere of death, desolation
and misery after the war. / believe
that the European nations will have
to pass laws to restrict emigration.

workers to get away"

From Trade Organs
The Shock Absorber

Apparently cash is being conserved
by big business to meet possibly seri-
Gus Establishments which may be
forced By conditions at the termination
Of The war. Apparently our most
powerful fnanciers believe that corpo-
rations Of which they are directors
should continue well fortified with
large cash reserves. Their slogan
seems TO be "When in doubt prepare
with liquid strength" When direc-
tors Of our largest corporations have
found it wise to make their company's
position as impregnable as possible
against anything which might develop
when the war comes TO an end, isn't
there a lesson to be learned there
from The Commercial West.

The economic world is now place
where you see things half right-side-
up as before and half upside-down.
We are the only people left with
the power to lend in units Of $780,
100000. That is to say, We are now
the heaviest lenders on earth. And
yet we are in the hands of the bor
rowers. 1t seems ludicrous. We can
not control the rate of interest in
our own domestic money market. 1t
is made by the foreign borrower,
who adds gold 10 our bank reserves
against our will and better judg-
ment We cannot control the sup
ply or distribution Of American
credit. That is determined by the
foreign borrower. We cannot say
what security we shall have for the
credit we lend abroad, nor the price
at which we shall lend it, for if we
want too much security or too much
interest the foreign borrower will
pay US in the only stuff we cannot
afford to take-which is gold.

of a popular, long-dated war loan, TO

of a popular, long-dated war loan, 10
be- offered directly TO the people, has
apparently not been considered.
Great Britain has been avoiding
long-term war loans at home. Since
the beginning Of the war she has
borrowed the staggering sum Of $751;
25O. 100000, of which only $500
100000 is represented by long-term
loans. All the rest of her borrowing
is in the form of floating debt. Of
treasury bills alone she has now out
standing more than $4,000, 100000
Germany, it is interesting to note,
has borrowed so far more than Great
Britain. The total of Germany's
war borrowing is nearly $4,000,
100000 of which only about $1,000,
100000 is represented by short-term
securities. All the rest has been Dor
rowcd on long-term loans. The war
has cost Germany more than Great
Britain to date. Not only has Great
Britain borrowed less-S13,250 ,000,-
600, against Germany's S15,O00,0 O0,-
000-but nearly quarter of Great
Britain's borrowing is offset by loans
to her allies, whereas it is improba
bic any such proportion Of the war
funds borrowed by Germany has
been loaned to her allies.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-11-20

Several interesting items were
added last week to the mounting list
Of foreign credits-namely, S50,000,-
900 for Russia, S60,000,O00 for the
French municipalities of Bordeaux,
Lyons and Marseilles and S5,000,-
600 for China. The Russian loan
is particularly interesting as the
beginning of the fotation here
of the unsecured war paper of bel
ligerent countries. A preceding Rus
sian loan for q like amount was Sc
cured by a deposit of rubles in
Petrograd, and there was the eX-
pectation of an exciting and profit
able speculation in foreign exchange,
for the rubles were counted at 3
for 81, against normal value Of a
little less than 2 for 81. If the
ruble went up in exchange value
the holders of the loan would make
a very handsome profit. 1t went
up little and then down again, and
is now worth only 81 cents. The
loan of s6O,OO0,0O0 to the three
French municipalities is not a war
loan, at least not technically so, for
the proceeds are to be used to relieve
human suffering; but for all pur-
poses of financial consideration they
are war loans, and have the same
effect upon exchange as credit
granted directly to the French gov
eminent. The loan to China, small
as it is, becomes a distinct event In
American finance by reason of hav-
ing been fioated under the auspices
of the Continental and Commercial
Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago.
Thus Chicago enters the field Of
world finance and lends China money
which she had been unable to borrow
in Wall Street.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-11-20

The price of American credit to
foreign borrowers should be and is
slightly tending to rise, for two rea-
sons. One is that the amount Of
the borrowing increases prodigiously
and the other is that the borrowers
offered their best security first. Ac-
tually, however, the rise in the rate
of interest on foreign loans has been
inadequate. The enormous additions
of foreign gold TO our bank reserves
have kept interest rates down.
Great Britain borrows in this coun-
try more cheaply than she borrows
at home.

NITRATE DEPOSITS
ARE DISAPPOINTING

PROJECTORS in many parts of the
country have raised great hopes Of To-
eating large natural deposits of nitrates
by finding good surface showings OF
these salts, but investigation has
seemed to force the acceptance OF a
general adverse judgment as to their
value.
As result Of its examinations the
United States Geological Survey finds
that most of the supposed deposits of
nitrstes are SURGICAL, that is. do not
extend far into the rock, and the
nitrate salt found is insignificant in
amount.

The department Is divided into
two camps on the question. One
partv believes that when the present
European struggle is ended Ameri-

the high wages which shortage of
men there may cause. Those who
take the other side of the argument
hold that the Europeans will come
to this country to escape the eco

They do not believe, however, that
the European immigration will ever

ment market" That is somewhat
misleading. Investors have had very
little part in any Of this financing
The loans have been bought by
banks, trust companies and large
financial institutions, which carry
them partly as investments. but for
the most part as "loans and dis
counts" The issues are mainly
short-term notes. Thus they afford
attractive and profitable employment
for surplus bank funds. When one
says surplus funds one does not
mean money idle in the vaults Of a
hank; one means unemployed lend
ing power. That is credit. Bank
credit has been expanding at an
enormous rate TO envelop the for
eign loans placed here in the last
two years. The expansion Of credit
was made possible by (a) the Fed
eral Reserve Bank act, which re-
duced the amount Of reserve re-
CURED by law to be carried in a
bank against its liabilities, thereby
increasing its lending power upon a
given amount Of gold reserve, and
(b) the inflow of foreign gold, which,
finding its way into bank vaults, be-
comes the basis for more credit, in
a ratio of 81 or S. Of credit to 81
Of gold.
