NEGRO INFLUX PERILS HEALTH

Philadelphia. - Migration of more
than than 100000 southern negroes to
this and other northern cities has
brought about the most acute situation
with which public health officials say
they have ever had to contend. In the
last six months Philadelphia has had an
influx of more than $4,000 of these
negroes and last week DR.. Wilmer Krus-
en- of the department of health and
charities sounded warning of the gray
ity of the problem. He stated that two
story dwellings in the negro sections of
the city are housing, in many cases, five
or more families with the consequent
spread of disease, destitution and crime
These negroes have been lured to the
north by stories of 'high wages" that
average $3.50 day, In the south, it
is stated, they receive $40 and $11 a
month.

voted to hereafter use the term union

The terms "closed shops" and open

sion that in their open shop" unionists
are welcome, Unonists we'll know what
happens if they secure employment in
one of these places and the potters have
decided to make the issue clear cut and
distinct by using the proper term.

| satisfa Glory and most perpleXing OF

| chinery Tremendous activity of
| business at high prices led to a huge
| increase of deposits and loans, esti-
| mated in the last national bank state
| ment at over $1,70O,0 100000, for the
| IL months, while the excess reserve
during the same period increased only
| $23,O0O,O0O. This decline in reserves
| necessitates q cautionary attitude,
especially as the reserves will be ex-
! posed to still further depletion on
/ the taking effect of new legislation
next November. The large sum made
available for bank credits by the
Federal Reserve system has been en-
tirely absorbed, SO. too, have the huge
imports of the last two years. 1t
is quite evident, therefore, that a
further expansion of loans on a
large scale will be inadvisa BILE, par
ticularly should a decisive change in
our foreign trade balance force gold
exports These contingencies are not
imminent, but their possibility must
be recognized, and doubtless they
have much to do with the present
cautionary policy of the Reserve
Board whose control Of the money
market is becoming more and more
complete. Briefly then, any pro-
nounced enlargement in the demand
for loans would be followed by firmer
rates for money, fact that will! have
to be taken into consideration in all
future business transactions.
A Complicated Stock Market.
Stock market probabilities are more
difficult of measurement than any
other business operations. Eliminate
the war stocks which I think have
passed their zenith, and we have left
for consideration the regular indus
trials and railroads. The, steel issues
still have future, though 1917
profits will fall below 1915. Specula
ton in coppers has certainly been
overdone. In the petroleum industry
there is remarkable development in
progress because of the automobile,
and these shares are additionally
strengthened by the hope of a. re-
vival IN exports when the war ends.
J In the chemical industry there has
been phenomenal expansion owing to
shutting off German imports; but
this is an infant industry that will
probably be unable to meet foreign
competition without a favoring
tariff. If movement. for higher du-
ties is started in Congress, it's most
plausible excuse will be found in this
direction. The better outlook for
railroads has already been explained
in the early. part of this review. In
considering the capital market it
should not be overlooked that the
total new security issues in the coun-
| try for the last IL months was about
$2,174,OOO,00O, compared with Slab
| 351 400 in 1915 and 81 ,436, 800 in
1914; also that we have absorbed
about $4,000, 100000 of foreign owned
| American securities since the war be-
gan, besides loaning Europe about
$1,750,0OO,0OO These figures display
an astounding ability to supply new
capital; an ability that places us at
once in the front rank as an inter-
national monetary power. They will
also profoundly affect our foreign ex-
changes, lessen our annual payments
abroad and go far towards changing
us from a debtor to 6 creditor nation.
Events are compelling to think
and act internationally more and
more.

their contention that the idealis-

a strong sentiment in that coun-
