Finance Economics

Wall Street was disturbed last
week by Mr.. McAdoo's plea for an
extension of the Federal control
period, but not nearly so much as it
was by the threatened alternative;
that is, early release from control
without first securing remedial leg
islation. The prevailing opinion
was that adoption of either of these
proposals would mean government
ownership in the end, since. under
the first scheme, the transportation
system would become so thoroughly
unified as to make separation impos-
sible, and, under the second, wide
spread insolvency, necessitating gov
ernment intervention, would prob
ably ensue. 1t is only necessary to
consider the operating statistics to
appreciate that immediate return,
without corrective legislation, might
easily prove to be disastrous to the
roads, and to the stock market as
we'll. Take first the record of gross
earnings in the last four months for
which returns are available, as COM
piled by "The Commercial and FL

Decrease.
1t will be seen that the increase,
compared with corresponding months
a year before failed to hold in Octo-
ber. Moreover, it should be o.
served that these figures take no
account of taxes, which will reduce
them still more. Obviously, the pay
roll is out Of line with earnings.
Some way must be found to balance
these items and keep them balanced,
before Federal control is abandoned.
But twenty-one months should be
ample time in which to find solu-
ton for this and other difficulties.
New-York tribune., 1918-12-15

These figures show not only de-
cline in the increase over last year,
but, what is more disturbing, in the
actual amount of business done, and,
with the commercial world in a hes
itating mood, it is altogether prob
able that the reduction in gross in
November and during the current
month, at least, will be substantial.
Meanwhile, there is no sign of a
turn in the tide Of expenses, which
mount steadily. The reason is not
hard to find. It is we'll known that
railroads lack that f1exibility neces-
sary to permit a quick readjustment
in the operating expense account to
offset a decrease in gross. At any
rate, operating expenses in October
were, roughly, $22,0OO,OO0 larger
than in August, in spite of a de-
crease of about $14,O0O,O0O in gross.
The result of these tendencies is
shown in a drastic decline in net
earnings:
New-York tribune., 1918-12-15
Money and Credit

Net demand deposits of the New
York Clearing House banks increased
$88, ,628, 900, to total of $3.50 ,499 900.
last week, while surplus reserves de-
creased $50, ,747, ,16O, to $39.869,51O. Loans
and discounts expanded only 50, 687 900.
however, amounting at the close of
business on Saturday to 4,673 ,O28 900.
The large expansion in demand dep6s
its probably was due in part to the
transfer Of funds from government to
private account as result of pay
ments on war contracts. On the weeks
operations United States government
deposits decreased from $21O, TAT 900 to
S167,006,O 900.
Commercial rediscounts and advances
of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York last week amounted to S73.313.-
coo, decrease of about $4,000 900
compared with the preceding week.

United States government obligations
