High Level of Costs

Properly analysed. our chief anxieties
relate to this high level OF costs and to
our enormous acquisitions of gold,
which are so abnormal that we cannot
hope 20 hold them permanently. With
the fall Of prices and the relaxation Of
business after the war, we may expect
TO see money accumulate in the CEN
tres. IL is only possible 70 employ the
amount OF gold we now have in the
country while doing business upon the
present scale and at the present level
Of prices. When the war is over we
shall certainly have a surplus OF capt
tai unemploysble here with our present
supply Of labor Labor and capital
must be used together, and either labor
must come 10 this country or capital
must 20 where the labor is In order 10
find employment. The probabilities are
that gold will 70 from us 70 EUROPE

Sweden Invests War
Profits in America
United States Government Sc
curities Are Wanted by
Scandinavian Banks

Sweden, surfeited with gold as re-
suit Of her war prosperity and seek
ing new fields in which 20 invest her
surulus funds, has lately increased her
investments in the United States By
many millions OF dollars. Purchases
Of American securities for Swedish ac-
count have been made on a consider
able scale in recent weeks. and no"
il develops that Swedish banking IN
situations are displaying eagerness 70
buy United States government securi-
ties.
As an indication Of this tendency
il was learned yesterday that the sec
ond largest bank in the kingdom has
cabled to New York an inquiry for
large stock of United States treasury
bills" As it happens, the Fedora
government has issued no treasury
bills. the Swedish bank officials hav-
ing apparently been confused by
cabled reports from this side that
some such an issue OF shorI-Ieihi sc
curities was under contemplation TO
meet the governments present urgent
needs.
Within the last month a number OF
Swedish banks, acting on behalf OF
important interests in that country
have purchased upward Of sl.5OO'oOO
Of United Kingdom notes in this mar
ket. The high yield, combined with
the possibility of a large profit in
exchange, has made these issues un-
usually attractive to Scandinavia
A banker in touch with the situa-
ton in Sweden said yesterday: THE
country is literally stripped of invest
ments. The floating supply has been
almost entirely absorbed. and it is
natural that Swedish investors should
turn TO the United States, the safest
market in the world at the present
time"

The stock market was cheered by war

marked higher. Chinese and South
American issues continued upward, co
lonial bonds we're the best of the Brit

American securities were affected by

The commodity markets present
very different aspect from the Sc
curity markets. Although there is
less forward buying in some lines,
the volume of business is well sus-
tanned and prices continue to work
upward. Steel products advance
week by week, food gets constantly
dearer, and many other commodities
follow the same course. "Dun's Re-
view" reports that forty-four Of its
list of 800 commodities at wholesale
were higher this week than last,
while only thirty-two showed
recessions. The most pronounced
strength is exhibited by the metals
and textiles.

Friday, March IS, 1917.

Dealings on the New York STOCK
Exchange consist almost wholly IN
the swapping of counters among
those who make a living out OF
market conditions. Just now they
are faring very thinly; they get IN
and out and in again on fractional
changes. and so help to pay a small
part Of the brokers' expenses. Little
else is accomplished, however. Few
are courageous enough. or foolhardy
notwithstanding TO the point OF
view-to make important market
commitments, and, since there is
practically no public participation,
business remains at a standstlll.
This is true not only of speculative
transactions, but Of the investment
market.
Nevertheless, sentiment remains
optimistic, and the financial district
takes a hopeful view Of the sltua-
ton. That is shown~by the firm
ress of the railroad as well as the
industrial stocks. In spite OF us
seeming imminence, the majority OF
those in Wall Street refuse to be-
lieve that there will be railroad
strike. And it is even argued by
some absurd optimists that a strike
would not be such bad thing, after
all. because. whatever its outcome,
the railroad labor question would be
settled for a long time to come.
Fortunately, this theory is not like
" TO be put to the test, which would
be sure to prove the cure worse
than the disease. 1t is generally
expected that Intervention by the
President will avert what could
hardly be other than an overwhelm-
ing catastrophe.
Meanwhile, the Russian upset IS
regarded as a favorable factor. In
international banking circles the
news is accepted as presagng
more vigorous prosecution OF the
war, though it is admitted that the
reorganization of the government
and of the military forces leading
to that end may delay the launch
ing of an active campaign against
Germany.
A further rise of the ruble rate
in the foreign exchange market re-
fleets the opinion that the fall OF
the Russian government is for the
best. Bankers in touch with Rus
sian affairs say that our trade with
the empire is not likely to be seri-
ously curtailed, and some express
the view that it may even expand
when things have settled down
little. if reports so far received give
an accurate picture of what has
happened. One reason why the Rus
sian news failed to disturb the stock
market is that most of the contracts
with that government are guaran-
teed by Great Britain.

Of local institutions as a result of heavy
secessions of gold shipped in from Can
ada in recent days found reflection in
further ease in the general money mar

The improvement IN the transporta-
ton situation has become a factor. in
asmuoh as the free movement Of mer-
chandise has released money heretofore
tied up, and with a reduced demand for
such accommodation, a softening Of in
terest rates has occurred.
The opinion was expressed in impor-
tant banking circles yesterday that
rates had about reached the bottom and
a further decline is hardly TO be ex-
pected in view OF current uncertainties
and impending financial operations Of
large proportions.
