RISING PRICES
INCREASE THE
COST OF WAR
London Bankers Show
Zeal in Pushing New
Loan-News of City
By FRANCIS w. HIRST
Try Cable 10 Tho Tribune


London, Jan. 30.-Bankers are
pushing the new war loan with much
zeal. The idea of compulsory loan
without interest, foreshadowed by
one or two ministers, is much dis
liked. The resolution unanimously
passed by the Labor Conference,
calling for a tax of rs per cent on
unearned incomes. naturally horri-
fies the City, and to-day Birch Crisp
writes a strong protest to "The
Westminster Gazette" asking Lloyd
George to repudiate this proposal.
Meanwhile, war costs rise with
prices. The establishment of a ra-
tioning system is expected, in spite
of official disclaimers, but so far, in
contrast with the people in CONT
mental countries, our working classes
have hardly felt the pinch. Farm
ers, however, are beginning to say
that they have ceased to benefit from
high prices. Thus, milk, meat and
bacon prices barely compensate the
producer for the cost of feedstuffs.
Discussion about American media
ton continues, and interest in Presi-
dent Wilson's activity for peace is
accentuated by the Russian Foreign
Office note, which seems to make the
way smoother. 1t is, of course, OBJ
vious that our financial future de-
ponds on the duration of the war and
the possibility of limitation of arma-
ments, which is accepted in the Rus
sian communique to America.
A leading Welsh newspaper is dis
cussing whether the Premier will
initiate Chamberlain's career and
carry over the Liberal section TO pro-
lection. The Labor Congress voted
by reclamation for free trading and
against the Paris resolutions, despite
hodges efforts. Considering the in
fluence of war sentiment and the
general resentment against German
methods, this resolution is highly
significant. l attribute it to previous
education received during our fiscal
controversy and to the unfit nee of
high prices.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-01-31

Undue significance is attached in
some quarters to the fact that Ca
madam banks have about $200,000,-
600 loaned on call in New York.
There has always been a close con-
nection between the New York and
the Canadian banks; and even in
July, 1914, such loans totalled ap-
proximately S125,OOO,0O0. The con-
clusion that Canada has surplus
funds to invest in this market is
unwarranted. Much Of the Cana
dian money here is on account of
the British government purchases,
as we'll as the purchases of Canadian
factories which manufacture war
supplies for Great Britain and the
Allies. Although Canada has been
well supplied with funds, as a re-
suit Of the war trade the country
has not money enough to lend out
large sums on call.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-01-31

Moreover, it is asserted that the
showing would have been better had
it not been for the fact that rail-
road congestion prevented the ship
ment of several hundred thousand
tons of finished steel products, which
would have increased the total earn
ings by millions of dollars had de-
livery been possible. Besides, the
corporations expenses were much
greater in the last quarter than in
any which preceded it. The wage
bill alone must have been in the
neighborhood of 100000 more
than it was in the corresponding
quarter a year before; and the prices
of other commodities, such as cop
per, of which the Steel Corporation
is a great consumer, we're at record
levels. That makes the report seem
even more impressive.

An abrupt decline of 4 points in the
shares of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad on the Stock Ex-
change yesterday. which carried the
price to 39iz, the lowest in the history
OF the road, gave rise TO rumors that
difficulties in arranging for the prop

result in a readjustment of cspitali-

The Steel Corporations report
for the final quarter of 1916 fur
nished Wall Street a pleasant little
surprise. It's highest hopes were
exceeded when net earnings OF al
most S1O6,OOO,OOO were announced.
That in itself is not so exciting as
it might have been, because every
BODY knew that the earnings would
be in the neighborhood of 100000
900. and a few millions more or less
makes little impression on the i'm
agination. We have become so ac-
customed to distorted earnings in
the steel trade-and in others, too,
for that matter-that the sense Of
wonderment is benumbed.
Nevertheless, the figures tell the
story of a marvellous achievement,
and afford some striking contrasts
with the years when earnings fuct-
uated in a less violent fashion. For
example, the income in the quarter
exceeded that reported for the en-
tire year in 1914, 1911, 1908 and
1904; and the balance after the de-
duction of all charges, including
dividends on both the common and
preferred, would be sufficient to
maintain the dividend at the old
rate for nearly three years.

the fact that one operator had made
