Current Comment
The Railroad Position

The solyency, the efficiency, the very
existence of the country are all bound
up with railroads. If the railroads
should fail, physically or financially,
nothing else would much matter in
Wall Street. The Wall Street man
says: you need not tell US all that.
We know it we'll enough. The trouble
is that the government doesn't" But
the government does know it and has
accepted the situation. It's power at
last is behind the solvency of the rail-
roads squarely. The government is
committed to the proposition that as a
matter of public policy the railroads
shall have such rates as reasonably
will renumerate the capital invested
and leave besides d margin Of surplus
earnings for improvements. Twice 1t
has raised rates in a horizontal man
ner, not on any showing as to the rea-
sonableness of rates as such, but pure
ly as a matter Of public policy. The
railroads needed the money. The sig
nificance of the governments new poll
icy toward railroads has not been ap-
precated. Probably We have seen the
minimum. II seems as though railroad
profits never again will be permitted TO
fall below the average of, say the last
five years. And that, if you will be-
lieve il, is not low average. IL is a
very high average. The American rail-
road industry, the largest thing of its
kind in the world, is guaranteed by the
government at what might be called
the peak of its development. This last
Of
we stand on the statistical record.
Never in the history of American rail-
reading were the average profits higher
than in the last five years. One who
will take a consistently bullish position
on American railroad securities now
will have the comfort of knowing that
if they are not good nothing is; and
that if they fail it will be because the
United States government has been un-
able to fulfil its guarantees.-A. A.

some countries will probably be pre-
pared tc pay premium for il.
(2) The governments of those coun-
tries possessing gold will most likely
lend their credit to the support of COM
mercial enterprises which they deem to
be of benefit TO their community.
(3) Countries having favorable bal
ances of trade will advance credit to
others less fortunately situated. to an
extent to which they were hitherto UNI
accustomed and even unwilling.
With the exception that figures will
be far greater. there will be very little
difference in conditions. We shall go
through periods fuctuating between
times OF cheap money and dear money.
Many new opportunities for the en-
ploymenS Of credit will present them
selves, and while capital will find many
means of securing satisfactory returns
in its own country, it is safe to predict
that /. will seek an outlet in foreign
investments to a far greater extent
than has been the case hitherto. Coun-
tries which will most probably present
the best inducements in foreign capital
are Russia, China and Africa, as while
always having offered great fields for
development, comparatively speaking,
they have been little exploited in the
past.-F. L. Appleby, Union Bank Of
CANADA.

with gold for India In payment for
American purchases of Indian prod
uce, but that IL English traders with
debts 10 pay in India draw on
Americas gold for this purpose Eng
land will be expected to make good
this drain. And il would seem to be
more businesslikc and clearer
recognition of the facts Of the case
to make corresponding change in
the number Of rupees given in India
for the sovereign, or at least that
some modification should be made by
which gold shipments from San
Francisco TO India are made less at
tractiye as an exchange proposition.
But whatever notifications are made
in this direction, the broad fact will
still remain that India has goods TO
export which we and our allies need
for the war. and that we and they
have to make payment for them in
goods or gold or silver or securities.
II seems somewhat unfair to India
that her power to sell goods pro-
duced by her industry should be cur
tailed owing 10 any shyness on our
part in making payments in the form
that India desires. The drawbacks of
a token currency in metal are start
lingly visible when the said metal
rises to an inconvenient price, and
the psychological idiosyncrscies of
lndia's population are q matter that
has to be allowed for very care
fully; but Egypt's example has
shown that paper currency can be
populariEed with a success that was
regarded by too cautious prophets
as impossible.
Gold shipments have been made to
India from this country in substan-
tial amounts. Japan has also been
gold to India. In fact,
owing to the restrictions that coun-
try has imposed on imports of sill
YER and as a result of the heavy
trade balance in favor Of India,
about the only way that payments
due there can be made is through
the shipment of gold.

Credit After the War

II any further evidence OF the sound
ness of the present day system OF
finance and credit were required, 1t has
been amply provided by this war, as in
spite OF the withdrawal of over 10000
600 men from productive activity, with
the consequent enormous falling OF i'm
mediately in the demand for credit for
trade purposes, and its replacement at
a later date by even greater demands
for credit by the several governments,
the system has without apparent enort
taken care Of the needs of the moment
and not broken down. as was feared by
some.
With our experience OF the novel
methods adopted by the different coun-
tries TO meet the unprecedented stu
ton, il should not be difficult to esti-
mate approximately what is likely 10
happen to credit after the war. In all
probability the amount OF credit In eh-
istence when peace is ratiiied VIII pc
the minimum amount of floating credit
for many years to come, and when the
work OF reconstruction is commenced,
additional credit will be required and
supplied.
The means by which this may be ef-
fected are many, and few of them are

Steel Purchases by
Government Pile Up
Increased Buying for Export a
Feature of Trading
Last Week

The United States government is
again placing large steel orders for mu-
nitions, and prospective purchases Of
she'll forgings are heavy. The War
Department has placed orders for ord
nance requiring an aggregate of near
" $4,000 tons, and the navy has award
ed contracts requiring about 10000
tons.
The War Department also has dis
tributed orders for $4,000 tons Of fab
ricated shapes for thirty-two ordnance
stores in France, divided among ten
shops. Word also comes from Wash
ington that the United States Steel
Corporation has been awarded con-
tract for 1,4O0 tons of fabricated steel
for arsenal extensions. Orders for
/ 900 machine tools, costing 100000,
TO be installed in manufacturing plants
that will build 10000 Liberty alrplane
motors also have been placed. The
government is purchasing $50 machine
tools to be installed IN gun repair
shops and ninety cranes to improve
terminal facilities in France. Thus far
the government has ordered about To-
600 tons of steel tubing and distributed
orders for about $4,000 tons of black
and galvanized sheets. =,
Export inquiries for various steel
products have increased recently, and
il is now estimated that contracts are
pending for between $4,000 and 100000
tons for foreign shipment. The Italian
government has secured 10000 tons OF

of guarding carefully against the haz-
ards that must be reckoned with by q
nation at war. The bank position is
strong, and although bank bank clear
ings here as elsewhere show impor-
tant gains over the corresponding to-
tails Of year ago it is recognized that
these increases may be due in part TO
the high prices which obtain for all
classes of merchandise and other ma

Since prosperity in this district is
largely dependent upon crop conditions,
the indications of a record production
of all crops, excepting wheat aud cot
ton for the country. as whole, and
the exceptional high promise for an un-
usual yield in this vicinity are signln-
cant. Taking the present crop condl-
tions in this district as basis, y
NAV be said that the outlook was never
brighter than it is to-day. A canvass
recently made of conditions through
out the Mississippi Valley disclosed
a crop situation such as has been
rarely, If ever, reported before AT TINS
season. The State of Missouri VIII
have the best corn crop 1t has had
for fifteen years. In Arkansas condl-
tions are almost perfect In some Sec
tions Of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas
the story is not so uniformly good,
although improvement has been shown.
This situation is the more remarkable
when it is remembered that the farmer
will get the best prices he has ever
received for all that he produces tn,
wear. The indications are that he VIII
raise about twice as much as IN an
ordinary year, and since his returns
will be about double those represented
by the prices that have usually pre-
vailed the farmer stands to win this

locality. In the nature of things it

Middle West Optimism

Industrial activity continues at this

good fall business is indicated. There
have been of late increased orders for
the wholesale and jobbing houses and
lower temperatures have led to broader
buying of fall merchandise. An i'm

has been booked by the great mer-
camille and manufacturing interests Of
