$3,Sl3,62l,00O IN 1916
Tremendous Increase to All
Parts of World Shown

Washington, Feb. European coun-
tries took 66 per cent of American ex-
ports in 1916, statistics announced to-
day by the Department Of Commerce
showed. Products shipped to Europe
increased 4s per cent in value over 1919
and reached a total of S3.sl3 $4,000.
Exports to South American countries
almost doubled, increasing from Sl4i,-
$4,000 in 1915 to S220,2SS,000. Ship
ments to Asiatic ports more than dou-
bled, leaping from sli9,706,OO0 TO $685.
20l 900. Many of the Asistic shipments
went to Russia, whose European ports
were congested with freight. All the
Northern European neutrals except
Norway took less goods last year than
in 1915.
Exports to Japan increased from
s45,O0O,OOO to sl59,0O0,00O and imports
from the same country from SlOS,OOO,-
coo to Sls2, 100000. There was heavy
increase in imports from Europe and

The prices Of standard bonds have
not been much affected by the war
scare, and on the average the loss
sustained has not been more than
point. They are now within frac-
ton of the highest level reached in
more than four years. The predic-
ton was freely made in the latter
half of 1914 that if the war should
continue for a year or more the de-
struction Of capital would inevitably
result in great advance in the rate
OF return on investments. Like
good many predictions made at that
time this one has failed TO come true.
With the supply Of money and credit
70 great as 10 be an embarrassment
the demand for good bonds has been
unprecedented. Consequently prices
have advanced substantially and con-
yersely the yield has fallen. A first
class railroad bond now sells close 10
per cent basis. At this time in
1914 the yield Of the same bond was
about IA per cent. The difference
in the real field is much greater than
these figures show, however. The
purchasing power Of money has de
clined no much that tho a per cent
Weld of 1917 will buy but little more
than half as much as A per cent
received in 1914. Those who arc de-
pendent on the income from securi-
ties with a fixed return are most
affected by the imitation Of commod-
ity prices.

Traders Mostly Bearish

After waiting in vain all morning

ing an intimaton of the action this

TO Germany's latest submarine threat,

The slight improvement shown in
some quarters after the opening, due
to covering by shorts 10 take profits,
was soon lost when selling orders be-
gan 20 pour into the market.
While there was evidence of re-
ucwod liquidation by holders who
either could not respond to heavy
calls for additional margins or we're
not disposed 20 do so because the pos
siblity OF the United States breaking
off diplomatic relations with Ger
many had caused them TO lose conf
dcnce in their securities, the heavi-
est pressure emanated from profess

operators. This opinion. however
was not shared by all, one theory be-
ing that the severe decline of Thurs.
day had so impaired margins on in

vestors. rather than part with their
holdings of such securities, had taken
railroad issues out of their strong

sion to-day upon petition of the At
torncv General Of Texas, the Texas
Railroad Commission and others. but
IN doing so the commission left in e.
feet its order Of last July prescribing
new rates on commodities between
Shreveport and points in Texas. In
it's decision Of last July the commits
sion found that rates between Shrcvc-
port. La, and points IN Texas were
unreasonable and unduly prcjudicial
TO Shreveport, a. compared with
rates for like distances in Texas.
Reasonable maximum rates between
Shreveport and Texas points were pre-
scribcd. Subsequently the Attorney
General of Texas and various local..

Texas challenged the jurisdiction Of
the commission TO make the order and
presented what they claimed to be
instances Of hardship which would
result 10 various interests in Texas
from the operation of rates proposed
