was not a primary cause. Prolonged cold weather was a serious inconven- fence, but February is usually trou- ble month for the. railroads, severe temperatures often seriously affecting motive power. The Fundamental diff- culty with the railroads, however, is lack of terminal facilities, including loading, unloading and warehousing of freight. Terminal facilities are tre- mehdously costly, especially in the great centers of traffic; and the rail- roads, hampered by discouraging legis- lation, have been unable to secure rev. enue and profits enough to attract new capital for development purposes. In fact the, public, led by short sighted political leaders, is now suffering from the effects of ignorant antagonism against the railroads. Capital has been driven away, and the public is paying the penalty of it's own folly: hesita> tion on part of the interstate com merce commission to do justice to the railroads being a further embarrass- ment.
 Our export trade continues booming, the total for January being $613, 3,00O,- 900, which is much the largest on rec ord. Our imports for the same month W exports for the month of $371, ,000,0 This abnormal excess of exports ere atee an interesting exchange situation especially as the extraordinarily suc- cessful placing of the last British bond issue will result in further big war or ders for the United States. Another result suggested is the continued large imports of gold. as we'll as further sales of foreign held securities in set clement of British obligations.
 The market for securities during the week has displayed substantial un- dertone, suggesting that the first phase of the acute strain that has been reached with Germany has been sue sessfully negotiated. Nervous hold ders have sold and their auction seems to have left the technical position in an improved condition.

THE KIND OF TAX BILL WE ARE
 LIKELY TO GET.

National Bank of Commerce has is sued a pamphlet on the United States War Tax bill, evidently written be- fore the Senate Finance Committee had taken some of it's radical actions in overturning defects in the House Tax bill. It outlines a reasonable and effective measure and what now ap- pears to be very close to what the Senate Committee will favorably re. port.
 It properly limits new taxation ta not over S1,50O,O00,O0O per annun, which is more than any other civilized government ever imposed in time of stress.
 Sound system of excess profits tax should yield $5OO,OO0,OOO, without in any way hurting business.
 Income tax revision should give $450, 000,000 additional by lowering rates on earned incomes below s10.. 900, and fixing not to exceed S4 per cent on higher incomes.
 Whiskey and tobacco as they are would yield about $230,000,000 These. with the stamp tax, and an improved automobile tax should yield $1.250,- O00.0OO. If $250,OOO.O0O more are needed. that could easily be obtained from club dues and taxes on tea, su- gar and coffee, with perhaps tax on freight transportation. and higher rate on first class mail matter
