dealings in sterling exchange, and Lon
don sight drafts sold as high as ti.75at.
There were no importations Of British
gold from Canada during the week,
although 70 was reported Yesterday that
additional shipments were impending.
More definite reports were heard Of
new British collateral loan TO be brought
out here within the next few weeks. In
this connection it was said there had
been quite free lending in the form Of
demand loans 10 the British Treasury
at New York and also in the West.
These loans are expected to be taken
up when the formal issue OF collateral
bonds is made.

below 30 cents. The rest OF the market
moved sluggishly.

Apparently the only disappoint-
ment over the proposal to discon-
tinue the work Of the Newlands com
mittee on the railroad problem"
was the disappointment of the rail
road people; apparently again the
only enthusiasm there is for the pos
sibility of the work continuing dur
ing the summer is their enthusiasm.
This is strange and requires some
explanation. No sooner had the
committee touched the subject of
regulation than everybody saw that
the railroads intended to embrace
the club with which their enemies
had long been beating them. They
proposed to take refuge in complete
Federal regulation. For many years,
in fact. since the first interstate COM
merce act was passed. they had been
opposed to Federal regulation, but
the more they opposed it the more
they got of it, until at last they lost
control of their own rates. In the
meantime there had arisen state reg
uiation. Each state created It's own
commerce commission and began to
impose rules and make rates. This
Led ultimately to hopeless confusion,
ewing to the impossibility of sepa-
rating interstate from interstate
traffic in any practical manner for
purposes of rate making or for any
purpose at all. Friction was bound
to be set up. A state commission
could make rates on interstate traffic
which affected rates already fixed by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion on interstate traffic. Naturally,
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion was Jealous of its power over
rates and this meddling with them
bv the states was not agreeable to 1t.
In several interesting test cases the
mower of the Interstate Commerce
Commission was upheld as against
the rights Of the states. Then arose
. in the field of railroad regulation
the old question Of state rights. 1t
has not yet been settled. But when
at the opening of the hearing before
the Newlands committee it became
clear that the railroads would de-
mand more Federal regulation as a
means of avoiding the harassment
Of state regulation, and as the logic
of events seemed to be pointing in
that direction also, enthusiasm for
the investigation cooled among all
the representatives of state regula-
ton.

Our trade with South America is
growing more and more unbalanced
each month. The adverse balance
for the first eleven months of 1916
was S186. 100000, as against $780,
$4,000 in the corresponding period
of 1913. In spite of our efforts to
increase our export trade to the
Latin-American countries, we have
bought during the last two years
S345.443. 900 more than we sold. a
mere increase in the totals of trade
does not signify that we have the
right kind of progress. 1t is very
necessary that some radical steps
should be taken, either to reduce our
purchases or to increase our sales
preferably the latter course. With
the advent of peace, the European
countries will be able to take up the
thread they have lost since August,
1914; we will then find ourselves in
an unenviable position, if nothing IS
done at present.
