The great problem confronting the public speak
err the amusement promoter, the politician seeking
office, and the business man, is just this:
"How can we effectually reach people-great
crowds of peOple-witf0ut expending enormous
sums?
''What can we do to assure hearing-or read
ing-of our message by large audiences and not pay
too dearly for the privilege?"
The degree of success reached by the speaker
the promoter the politicians, the business man, de-
pends very largely how much he knows of the art
of reaching many people without overspending.

Submarine Boat Corporation
Distribution of
Anthracite Coal

The Anthracite Bureau of lnforma-
ton at Wilkes Barre, in answer to the
charges made that certain sections OF
the country have been Disseminated
against in the distribution Of anthra-
cite during the present year, especially
New England, New York City and
Philadelphia, says: "The shipments to
all three of these particular markets
for the first seven months this year
show a marked increase over the cor
responding period in 1915. For New
England, for instance, the shipments
practically all of which consisted Oh
domestic sizes) from January to July,
inclusive, have amounted this year 70
5,436,163 long tons, against 4,99b,i2O
tons in 1916, the increase in 1917 being
439,743 tons, or s per cent. Similarly,
the shipments to New York Harbor in
creased from II 1926, 1906 tons to H.
275.O24 tons, a gain of 949,7lS tons, or
ga per cent, while those to Philadel-
Dhia have increased from 3,725,9iS tons
TO 4,3S5,6l9 tons, the increase being
9,671 tons, or about II per cent.
Owing to complications in the Great
Lakes navigation during the early part
of the summer, and also to the late
opening of navigation, the shipments
to and through Buffalo and Erie show
a decrease of little less than 1 per
cent, being, respectively, for 1915,
3,50l, $3.50 tons, and for 1917, 3,471,oS6
tons. Though slightly less than in
1916, the shipments to the two lake
ports in 1917 were fully half million
tons in excess of what they were in
1915. The difficulties in regard to the
lake shipments have been corrected
and when the figures for August, which
are now being compiled, are complete,
it is believed that a substantial in
crease in 1917 ever 1915 will be shown,
and il IS further believed that before
navigation closes the shortage OF an
thracite at the head of the lakes and
in the Northwest will have been re-
lieved.
an spite of labor shortage Of ap-
proximately $4,000 men, the production
of anthracite during the first eight
months of 1917, by reason of the steady
operation of the collierios, has eX-
ceeded any previous record for the
same period in the history OF the re-
gion, the quantity shipped 20 market
up to September l. this year, amount
ing to 81 ,405,34l tons, against the pre-
vious high record for the same period
in 1913 of 45,7Os,6O6 tons. Compared
with 1915, the shipments of anthracite
this year have shown an increase of
more than 100000 tons, and for the
first eight months of 1917 were nearly
l 100000 tons more than in the first
nine months OF last year"

Railroad Expenditures

American railroads do not intend to
stop expenditure for increased trans
portation facilities, despite the almost
prohibitive prices Of equipment and
supplies and the rapidly rising cost of
new capital. According to the views CT
railroad officials, as expressed 10 the
Railroad News Bureau of Chicago. the
keynote of such expenditures val DC to
increase carrying capacity.
President Markham of the Illinois
Central says in this connection:
Our expenditures will contintie, but they
will be more along lines 10 increase caDa-
cities. Big purchases by Illinois Central
of equipment during some years preceding
the war has fortunately placed US beyond
embarrassment in equipment. We are GO
ing ahead with new track work increasing
our double track and yard facilities wher-
ever possible. Work we are doing is that
which calls for labor rather than supplies.
B. L. Winchell, traffic director of the
Union Pacific, says:
II is probable that railroad companies
which have available funds will go ahead
with capital expenditures when necessary
10 increase traffic capacity of their proper
ties. but will probably make every effort 10
confne their expenditures 10 those Of this
class. Conservation Of men and of money
requires that track elevation and all other
non-essential improvements shall be post
poned until we have won peace.
A. VI. Scheyer. vice-president of the
Pennsylvania, says his company is
going ahead with work Of adding to its
facilities as rapidly as consistent with
good business management and &C linn,
tied market for material and labor will
permit. For improvements on the
Pennsylvania lines west Of Pittsburgh
$40,000000 has been authorized since
1914. Women are being employed
wherever possible to relieve the labor
shortage.

Stocks

Altar a period Of uncertainty VII
narrow and irregular movements, tn'
stock market gained strength and Dc
ran a deliberate but well-sustaihea
advance. Early declines were maze
IN. and net gains Of moderate pro-
ror,ions were established in active
stocks. with occasional rises OF
points or more.
Except in the last hour. the market
showed less buoyancy than during
Wednesdays upturn, which failed 10
attract any large outside following 10
the long side. The comparatively
small volume Of orders on hand at
the opening led to a temporary re-
newal Of selling operations. but the
demand which was uncovered wher-
ever prices were forced down caused
the bears to reverse their tactics and
ioin in the bidding for stocks.
Individual issues were favored py
Developments of the day, but there
were no new factors of general enough
application to offer an obvious expla-
nation of the movement. A good deal
of attention was paid to renewed
Washington reports that the uncer-
tainty as to price regulation. at least
so far as concerns copper. would soon
bs ended. Favorable conclusions were
drawn from the 10 per cent wage in
crease by United States Steel, and
the steel stocks led the market in
strength and activity. OF perhaps
more commanding influence for tho
moment, however, were the indica-
tions that the selling movement had
exhausted itself for the time and
that the markets position was still
strong technically, notwithstanding
the extent Of the recent rally.
In the steel group the feature was
the strong demand for United States
Steel, which sold at more than Z
points above the low price of the
week. The coppers. held back by I'M
certainty as to the price to be es-
tablished for the metal, showed early
heaviness, but later made q moderate
advance. Equipments were bid up
briskly. The railroads continued to
remain in the background. and with
a few exceptions moved within mar
row limits.
The bond market did not reflect the
strength of the stocks. The tone was
irregular. United States % registered
declined Y and the As coupon 4 on
call. Liberty bonds sold at 1898 to
100.

Stocks made further recovery, but
the movement lacked the vigor that
characterized the trading the day be-
fore. Gains were principally con-
fined to the industrial shares in
which the professional element has
been active of late, the further I'M
provement in the group indicating
fresh purchases by shorts, who be-
gan to retreat on Wednesday. Steel
common monopolized the attention of
traders, contributing fully 80 per
cent of the total turnover of 100000
shares. The stock advanced to 111B,
a new high for the current move
ment and a net gain Of 1b points.
In the two days of advancing prices
Steel has rallied 7 points from its
low. Railway shares, while gener-
ally firm, did not figure to any great
extent in the days dealings.
The Street was much impressed by
the announcement of Chairman
Gary of the Steel Corporation that
another increase of 10 per cent has
been granted to the employees, to
take effect October 1. Coupled with
the fact that an early announcement
from Washington on the steel price
fixing matter is anticipated, this de-
vclopment made the fresh upturn in
Steel common all the more interest
ing. 1t is quite apparent that the
leading steel interest In the country
recognizes the seriousness of the
labor situation, and is prepared to
make such concessions in the way Of
higher wages as are necessary to
keep the machine operating. In the
course of the last twenty months the
Steel Corporation has granted its
men wage increases aggregating in
total more than so per cent.
