rest the railroads have drifted is shown
by the unhesitating manner in which
the director general has furnished
funds, either in the way Of loans or as
various roads. which otherwise would
have been in great trouble because OF
due dates Of various obligations falling
due in the last thirty days or more. Not
have not yet been settled. the govern
ment. up to April 80. had advanced more
than SOC, 900 to ten Of the small and

New Haven has received the largest
$43, 964, 0O0-to take care of notes re-
lentlessly falling due, and to the New
York Central next. $2s.500,0O0. Other
large sums have been advanced or are
about to be and not yet reported.
In the last few months and since they
were turned over to the government
the railroads of the country altogether
have fallen behind, it Is estimated,
somewhere around S500.000.O00 to $780,
100000 in net below returns q year ago.
government responsibility had not
come. probably 25 per cent of the roads
of the country would have fallen into
bankruptcy by this time.
This Is situation not brought about
because of the war, but which existed
and was approaching its climax before
the war started. The war activity, in
fact. stayed the inevitable climax for
a time.
In 1914 the railroads were totally I'M
prepared for either peace or war.
Under the control Of commissions, state
and interstate, they had been compelled
for years to scrimp on equipment and
upkeep in order to meet ever-increas-
ing operating expenses. AS the great.
vital. transporting machine of the
country, upon which everything indus
trial depended. they had been steadily
running down hill by reason Of INSULT
cient revenue. and this was SO evident
to every one except the powers in con-
troll that credit gradually deserted
them and they were left to take the
way of bankrupts.
Now a powerful hand. powerful in
ability to supply funds and in ability
to raise rates to a business basis, has
taken them up-the powerful hand of
the government.
And we shall see them now in time
restored to helpful maximum Transport
tation ability and to sound financial
position through profitable operation

NEW YORK. May 4.-Still lower
prices were reached in the cotton mar
ket here today. with all active months
selling under the low level of last Mon
day. or at the lowest points touched
since the bull movement eliminated
early last month. July contracts broke
to 24.35. or go points below the high
price Of Thursday morning. but at this
level there was considerable covering
and that delivery closed at 24sS. The
general list closed steady. net points
higher to II points lower.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance Of to points on covering, but
quickly weakened owing to the favora-
BILE showing Of the weather map and a
renewal Of more or less general selling.
Reports that New Orleans map readers
were looking for bad weather caused
another rally before the end of the
first hour, but local readers thought the
prospects were for favorable conditions
over Sunday and the market soon eased

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW ORLEANS, May 4.-Further
heavy selling was felt by cotton here
today. and the market was depressed
most of the session. There was one
period of strength soon after the first
call. on which prices rose 2 to IL points

spot only served to call out large Of

only to 10 points.
Selling was induced by the fair
weather over most Of the cotton region.
