Government Alone As Wool Buyer
BOSTON, Sept. 20.-"The Commercial
Bulletin" will say of the wool market
tomorrow: "Thc wool trade has been
interested chiefly this week in the gov
ernment's new arrangements for buy
irg at the River Plate, concerning which
an official announcement was finally
issued yesterday Prices at the River
Plate appear to have remained firm
curing the week and no changes have
been reported otherwise in the foreign
situation. Manufacturers, who had

British Deals With japan
Farmers Buying Freely

Check to Demand

Producing interests are confronted
by active demands from the merchants

action of the various buying forces

lively small quantities Of goods avail
able according to "Bradstreet's."
"While conservatism in buying is not
absent, il is not so conspicuous as be-
FORE" it says. "and less is heard of the
probable effects Of the new draft law
in restricting civilian consumption. It
is realized that the turning out of
ordinary products must suffer while
militant needs are being fulfilled and
that. as labor is scarce, underproduc-
ton relative to the normal wants of
the people is a foregone certainty
However. country merchants in the
great crop yielding sections are buy
ing freely, the one complaint being of
inability to get goods, and, of course.
the mainsprings of this activity are
provided by high prices for all farm
products Indeed, the Northwest, a
large part Of the Southwest, most of
the South. the West and on TO the
Pacific Coast are enjoying unusual
prosperity, thanks to combination of
high prices for crops and meat ami
mails and activity in shipbuilding and

Selling Oil to Germany

The Royal Dutch Company. which is

fields. While we were originally under
the impression that in addition to our

ing wells had been almost irreparably
destroyed during these operations (thc

turned out that the amount of destruc-
tion, particularly as far as the borlngs
were concerned, was not so serious as
we had feared. Consequently tho
production was rcGstablished more
quickly thar anticipated, so that by the
end of 1917 it had already reached 700
to $50 tons daily. about GO per cent OF
the normal output. The crude oil pro-
duced had to be sold to German mill
tary authorities and the prices paid for
it were satisfactory" The Roumanlan

X. K. Earnings Grow
July Most Profitable Month
Under Government Operation

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-Railroads
in July showed the best earnings record
up to date under government operation
and for the first time this year got more
net income than in the corresponding
month of last year. Operating income
amounted to s135, 900, or $40 900 600
more than in July, 1917.
This record was caused Iareelv bv
the % per cent increase in freight
rates. 1t was apparent that the rate
advance was more than sufficient to
cover the higher wages and other in
creased operating costs. These reports.
however, did not include the big sums
spent for extensions, betterments. new
equipment and other capital purnoses g
under the railroad administration's
billion dollar improvement programme
for the year.
j.. Revenues in July were reported as
SSaaoS,3a9'ooo, Sao as compared with s348,-
$4,000 in July last year. This in
cluded freight receipts of s327.l51 900
which was sS6,oOOO 900 greater than the
record of July, 1917, and passenger
receipts of s1O4, ,4o3, 900, which vas
$3O,00O,000 more than the corresnond0
ing figure last year.
Expenses amounted to s316.S13Ooo
as compared with s237,SO9 900 in Jnlv
last year. the principal item of increase SO
being in transportation expenses
amounting to s164,127 900, nearly Sl0 >,
100000 higher than in July, 1917. Far

troll ending with July operating income
was reported as $500. $4,000. as COM

The approximate amount the gov
ernment will have to pay the railroads
as guaranteed compensation for that

Brokers Organized
For New Loan Drive
Exchange Members Urged 20
Give Entire Time to
Campaign

Active preparations for the New
York Stock Exchanges campaign in
behalf of the fourth Liberty Loan,
which will begin on September %,

mittee, sent an appeal to the members
OF the exchange to give all of their
time during the campaign to the sale
of the war bonds.
"The campaign for the next Liberty
Loan will start on September 2S,"
the letter says. "This will be the
largest loan ever foated, and will
necessarily call forth our supreme CT
forts to make it success. We should
back up General Pcrshng and the
American army in France by devot-
ing our entire time during the flota-
tion Of this loan to the sale of these
bonds.
"Details of the loan will be sent to
you later. but organize your force now.
Don't wait. Let the Stock Exchange
keep up its reputation of being ahead
of the times and tor being willing, at
all times, to devote its entire energy
for the benefit of all"
A conference OF the cashiers of Stock
Exchange houses on the new loan was
held at the exchange in the afternoon.
Announcement was made that the

Government May
Distribute Cotton
A Fair Price Will Be Determin-
ined by a Special
Committee

WASHINGTON, Sept. 90. Senators
from cotton growing states disclosed
day that at their recent White
House conference President Wilson
made it clear it was his intention not
only to fix a price for this years cot
ton crop, but also to order government
control of its distribution.
The President gave no intimation of
what he would consider fair price,
it was said, and any action will await
the report Of the special committee
which the President announced last
week would inquire into the general
subject, including production costs.
Before price fixing was first men
pound. Secretary Houston, it was said,
has recommended that 25 cents would
be fair Southern Senators deny this
would be fair price and declare that
because of the increased cost of pro-
duction a figure above 80 cents should
be named
In determining plan for controlling
cotton distribution, it is understood the
President is endeavoring to work out
method of cooperation with the Brit
lsh and French governments. AS the
IecuS OF tncSe two governments and
the United States represents more
than so per cent of the crop produced,
it has been pointed out that a price
could be readily fixed which would
control the world market Commits
SONS have been appointed by the
British and French governments, which
buy not only for their own govern
ments but for private spinners at
prices fixed by those commissions
Both commissions, it is known, are
now cooperating with the President in
this matter.
While opposed to any steps that
would result in the fxin~ of cotton
prices, Southern Senator'S at the con-
terence urged the President, if he was
determined to take this action, not to
delay it longer than possible, declaring
that in view of the present uncertain
ty cotton markets are stsgnant and
many growers are holding, while await
ing definite announcement by the gov
crnmcnt.

Houston, OH his return from ten-day

whole, than had been pictured, and
that the spirit and determination of
the farmers were admirable. The
number of farmers seeking loans from

the President, for fall planting, he said,

New-York tribune., 1918-09-21

Turning from the news that the
War Department has asked for ad-
dltional appropriations aggregating
S7,000.000, 1000, one may chance upon
Bradstreet's report on the state of
trade and find therein such extracts
IS these:
Country merchants in the great
orop-yiclding sections are buying
freely, the one complaint being of
inability to get goods. Department
stores are crowded with shoppers.
Buying for the Forthcoming holi-
days is being urged, and as wages
for sall industrial workers as we'll as
employment for women were never
better, Oppressive features resulting
from the calling out of men for
warfare are overshadowed.'
The problem of raising an addi-
tional 7,00O,000,O0O of money may
he serious, perhaps, but it presents
no insurmountable obstacles. But
the spending of it after it is raised
IS quite another matter. 1t will do
no good to increase the governments
purchasing power if no goods are
available to be purchased. AS long
as civilian demands, notably in the
industrial and rural communities,
are uncurbed, the supply of labor
and materials wherewith to fabri-
cate the things needed in the prose-
Cution of the war will remain made
Guate. The country cannot devote a
third or more of its national income
IN products to war while maintain
ing a 100 per cent standard of liv-
ing. To a certain extent the in
creased demand for goods may be
met by increasing production, but it
must be remembered that the plants
engaged III war work are already
running at capacity, or as close to
it as a limited supply of labor will
permit, and, therefore, the prospect
that any considerable proportion of
the war products needed can be had
through the speeding up of such
plants, while still maintaining the
production of civilian goods in nor
nal quantities, is very slender. The
labor and materials to make the
things needed for war must be made
available through saving. There is
no other way in which they can pos
sibly be obtained. And it is reason
ably plain by this time that civilian
consumption is not being curtailed
rapidly enough. Nor is it likely to
be until the government ceases to
rely on general and vague appeals
for saving Whenever specific re-
quests have been made, as in the
case of pleasure driving on Sun
days, the response has been amaz-
ing. The trouble is that the gov
crnment does not ask enough. 1t
has only to make specific demands
and the people will do the rest.

Walter L. Frew, president of the Corn
Exchange Bank, said:
Il think very highly Of the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Strauss. When Mr.. War
burg went out [ was very much dis
turbed, but when I heard of Mr..
Strausss appointment I was perfectly
contentcd and happy again. He is a
very good man."
Seward Prosser, president of the
Bankers Trust Company, said:
1T is one of the most admirable ap-
pointments that could have been made.
Mr.. Strauss is a safe, sane type of
man. Every one who knows him re-
spects him. I regard New York as
fortunate in having such a man ap-
pointed"
Alexander ]. Hcmphill, chairman of
the board of directors of the Guaranty
Trust Company, said:
1T is very fine appointment. A
better selection than Mr.. Strauss could
not have been made"

Jerome j. Hanauer, of Kuhn, Loeb e.

"Mr. Strauss's temperament and his

Credit Men Ask McAdoo

Men, in session here, has sent a nett
tlon to Director General McAdoo re-

ernment operation settle for their pur-
chases with trade acceptances. This.
the petition pointed out, would utilizn

acceptance in settlement of merchan-

Burns Brothers Stock at New High

Burns Brothers stock continued it's
spectacular climb yesterday and sold
up to the new high record price Of $50,
which was reached on the last sale.
Total dealings amounted to 5000
shares, contrasted with 1,700 shares
dealt in on Thursday. Spectators who
bought the stock at lower prices have
had little to worry about, because at
no time during the last few weeks has
it shown any serious weakness. One
man who paid 122 for 200 shares in
July told that he had selling order in
at $50. He got rid Of only half of it,
as the peak price was registered on a
sale Of 100 shares.
