A railroad official, asked why
railroad men were chronically pessi-
mistic in their utteranceS for public
consumption, replied that it seemed
necessary to eXaggerate the plight
of the carriers, because that was
the only way to offset the exagger-
ated claims of prosperity of those
who habitually oppose rate adj
vances. That, apparently, is the
position taken by most railroad ex-
ecutives, and yet they have never

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Further recovery occurred in Russian
rubles yesterday, the rate climbing 20
10 cents in the local market, compared
with the closing price of IA cents the
day before. The upturn was attributed
to the apparent improvement in the
Russian political situation, and was
accomplished on a comparatively small
volume of buying.

exchange was the other principal de-
velopment of Importance in the local
exchange market The rate on Paris

Railway Men Differ on
Government Ownership

Charles Z. Markham, president Of
the Illinois Central Railroad. does not
believe, as does L. P. Ripley, president
of the Atchison, that government own
ership of railways is likely to be
adopted in the United States. But be-
cause Dir. Ripley, who occupies a prom
inent place among the railway ex-
ecutives of this country, has ex-
pressed the opinion that government
ownership is mot only a possibility
but a high probability" Mr.. Markham
believes that his utterances should not
go unchallenged, lest the public accept
them as expressing the views Of rail-
way officials generally.
In letter to THE Railway Age Ga
zettc" Mr.. Markham says: 81 do not
think most railway executives agree
with Mr.. Ripley on this matter. Car
tainly | do not. On the contrary, l
think we arc moving away from gov
eminent ownership, and that recent
developments, especially since the
United States entered the war, have
made its adoption less probable.
Among my reasons for thinking this
are the following:
First, il has been contended by ad
vocates Of government ownership that
the government could raise enough
capital to acquire the railways at 3 per
cent. or even less. and that, there
fore, a large saving could be made by
substituting the credit Of the govern
mcnt. as the owner of the railways, for
that Of private companies Experience
during the present war has answered
this argument Our government "

No important change occurred in the

at the Stock Exchange at 3 per cent,
the rate at which the bulk Of the bust
ness was placed. The close was Al
per cent.
Banks continued to restrict their Of
fcrings of funds for fixed periods. and
as a result rates were firmly main
tanned. Loans based on industrial Sc
curities were quoted at 6 per cent for
all maturities. Only a moderate
amount of business is being done in
time loans.
Ruling rates for money yesterday,
compared with year ago, were as fol-

Current

The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You ouy an English pound
sterling at, say. s4.7Jl2. The intrinsic
parity is s4.S6ss per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at a discount
or that dollars are at a premium. which
is owing to the fact that in England
the demand for dollars with which to
settle accounts in this country is great
er than the demand in this country
for pounds with which to settle ae-
counts in England.

More stocks left off with net gains

GENTLY pronounced to be impressive.
The list gave the appearance of
great irregularity, which was a nat
ural reflection of the general feeling
of nervousness among security hold
ors as to what will happen next.
Pool" operations were less in evil
Gence. At no time since the war
crisis of 1914 has sentiment among
Spectators and investors been so
unsettled as at the present moment.
This is not due so much to the offer
irgS of stock as to the almost entire
absence Of buying power of q sup
porting character. Looking at the
surface of the market, it is difficult
to see any accumulation of demand
Tor stocks such as might reasonably
be expected in view of the drastic
readjustment of values which has
taken place in recent weeks. What
buying comes into the market from

wholly for the account Of profess
