LIBERTY LOAN BONDS
IN THE MARKET
From tn. National City Bank, New York.

FFom The Na66na CNy Bank, Nov York;.
Liberty loan bonds Of both issues have been marketed in con-
siderable amounts and at lower prices than the 31@s had reached
before the 4 per cents were issued. AT present the former are selling
around 90 and the latter around 90. The offerings come from all over
the country, and are a natural result of the strenuous campaigning
for subscriptions. Every locality has had a large task to raise it's
quota, and under the pressure of the canvass it has frequently oc-
CURED that people were constrained to subscribe for more bonds than
they felt able to carry. 1t was a community effort, appealing to
local pride a well as national patriotism, and rather than fail to do
what was expected of them they subscribed, with the intention of sell
ing part in New York at whatever loss it might be necessary to take.
1t is difficult to see how this situation can be avoided when it is
necessary to push solicitation so hard, but by this time lit is becoming
pretty we'll understood that Wall street does not bear all the respon-
sibiity for the market price of government bonds.
Iii is not at all clear that the situation would be materially different
if the interest rate was higher, although as the rate on government
issues is raised the selling pressure upon these will be relaxed by be-
ing extended to other investments. If the country is forced to take
more bonds than it has learned how to absorb, something will he
thrown n the market. Moreover, the sale of either government or
other securities on the market does not relieve the situation. 1T is
only moving capital around a circle, without creating any more of it,
just as the shifting of labor from me employer to another by the
offer of higher wages does not make any more labor available. 1t
cannot be too often repeated that whether obtained directly or in.
directly the funds for the war must be provided by new savings.

A Defense of Speculation.



constructive in exchange for it. So far
theN nave failed to do so. 1t is no doubt
most unfortunate that the struggle for
existence In general, n the struggle for
commercial success in particular, should
make 1t necessary that some nave to as
sumo a certain risk. But since this is a
fact. one can say that If there were no
spectators they would nave to be in
vented.
A shareholder enjoys not only a divi-
sion or risk. but also a certain degree Of
elimination of risk through scientific
management. On the other hand, 1t is
much easier for the shareholder to sell
his share h for the owner to sell his
store. 1t Is necessary that the combined
opinion of the stockholders on their prop
erty should find an unrestricted express
sion In the price Of their stock. 1t is.
furthermore, quite natural hat the col
lective property Of the shareholders should
be subject to the same economic influences
and consequent fluctuations as that of
the individual owner. If this owner should
decide to sell his store at a time when
money is scarce. he would have to put up
with a loss similar to that Of the share
holder.
AS to short selling. Francis w. Hirst.
former editor of the London Economist,
rightiy said that no code Of ethics can
make a valid distinction between betting
that a horse will win and betting that 1t
Will lose. 1t may be wrong to buy be-
yond your purse when things look cheap,
or to sell more than you possess when
they look dear. But there IL exactly the
same moral objection to either course.
and besides. there Is nothing like q bear
contingent to steady and check q falling
market.
In summarizing, It would appear III
II a man ~speculates he should do 1t In
diligently and in a business way: further
more. that those who are consciously or
unconsciously heroic enough to assume
the burden of industrial risk should re-
ceive due recognition az necessary factors
in our economic life: finally, that those
who cannot afford or are not inclined to
speculate should not do 40. and that sense
less and l,aphazard operations should bD
discouraged.

OVER 100000 FOR COTTON
PRODUCTS OF 1916 CROP.

The December report of the De-
partlnent of Agriculture puts the av-
nrage prize of cotton paid the farm
ers as of December first. at 1916
"erts a mound. at which the wears
crop would be worth 81 .O79.351.616.
exclusive of the value of Inter cot
ton end seed. Based on an estimate
'~ecentlv isseud bv the Department as
he average selling price of seed this
ear. the value of the seed will n
reed bv $3.50. 600. 900. which would
make the total for the crop. includ-
ing seed and linters. considerably in
excess of 1880, 600. 900. A b
10000 90 bales Of cotton were brought
over from previous crops. Possibly
the amount will exceed these figures.
A quantity of cotton has been car
ried nv formers for several ear
On this basis. however. the total val
Tie of this years crop and of the CROP
brouht over from last year would
be over $500. 600. 200.
These figures more than sustain
the estimates made bv the Manufac-
turers Record a month or q
ne to the value Of this years crop.
The value added to the cotton which
vii! be manufactured in Southern
cotton mills and the value of the out
nut of Southern cotton seed oil mills
will make the total income to the
South fro mcotton during this crop
season considerably larger than
$4,000. OOO, 600.
In view Of the fact that this wears
crop. following a short crop of last
ear. gives a supply very much less
than the worlds consumptive re-
auirements. it is not surprising that
prices have reached such high figures
and despite temporary fluctuations in
the speculative market we can see
no reason why verv full figures
should not prevail through the bal
ance of the crop year and likewise
through the coming year, unless we
should have a phenomenally good
WELD in 1917, and this hardly seems
possible in view of the fertilizer sit
uation and the scarcity of labor.
While the South may therefore ex-
pect a large price for cotton it would
be a fatal mistake of this section not
to give increased attention during the
coming year to the production of
food stuffs. Nothing but bumper
graf ncrops next year can prevent
this country from facing almost a
food-famine condition, with prices of
foodtsuffs far beyond present figures,
heading over $4,000. 000.0 00 for cot
ton and cotton products this year
