New-York tribune., 1918-10-21

On the surface there was little
change in the money situation last
week. Rates were unaltered, the
price for call loans remaining con-
stant at 6 to 61s per cent, depend
ing on the nature of the collateral.
But in spite Of the stability of rates
the supply of funds for speculation
was larger, brokers having no diff
Guilty in procuring the funds needed
to meet the expansion of trading
on the Stock Exchange. Whether
or not this can continue is de-
batable point. Some bankers ap-
parently expect easier money, so
far as supply is concerned, for some
time. But it would not be sur
prising if it should turn out that
they are disappointed in that ex-
pectation. 1t is an inescapable fact
that in putting over the largest
financial operation in the worlds
history the banks have had to bor-
row heavily, and they are extremely
reluctant to resort to the rediscount
privilege except in cases where it
is absolutely necessary. One of the
great Wall Street banks has not
rediscounted a dollars worth of
paper at the local Federal Reserve
Bank in months, or at least it had
not done so up to last week. Other
banks take much the same attitude,
though not with such rigidity.

lines to the points of use. This vitality
important plan is receiving wide at
tention, particularly from the fuel ad-
Illustration.
Shipment of coal fer power use is
our worst violation of the cardinal in
dustrial principle of advance elimina-
tion of superfluous weight. We do not
refineries; they are concentrated on
the spot. We do not ship unthrashed
grain to the flour mills. Why should
we transport power in the enormously
bulky form of coal when it is capable
Of 100 per cent concentration at the
mine? There is no valid justification.
The principal reason is that economical
development of large scale trans
mission system is too big proposition
for any single interest. 1t requires
full cooperation of number of in
requirements in the district served.
The individualistic character of our en-
terprises has hitherto stood in the way
of such cooperation, and the consumers
of manufactured products, not the
power-uslng manufacturers, have borne
the additional cost. But now our war
emergency has already forced the pool
ing of power requirements in many i'm
portant industrial regions, and the gov
ernment, as the present most important
consumer, has a vital interest in re-
ducing ineficiency and unnecessarr
cost.
In our present emergency however,
the effect on our war programme of
fuel shortage and transportation in
adequacy is a more potent consjdo ration
than economic saving. The relief to
railroads which could be effected by
substituting electric transmission Of
power for hauling of coal amounts to
millions of tons in year. Under pres
ent conditions, where the railroads are
recognized as the limiting factor in
our coal supply, "to save hauling a ton
of coal is to save a ton of coal" The
effect of this saving will be felt far be-
yond the industrial districts con-
cerned: for instance. less coal hauled
into Philadelphia and Newark for pow
er means more coal for New York and
New England for all purposes Fur

That fascinating question, "Who
is selling stocks?" is being asked
again. If the trader only knew the
answer! 1t is probably the invisible
element, those persons whose trans
actions are never traceable, but who
nevertheless make markets.
New-York tribune., 1918-10-21
By r. j. McClelland

Chairman of Technical Section,
National Electric Light Assn.
TNHE success of our war programme
and the maintenance of our in
dustrial position after the war
depend largely upon how the problem
of power supply is handled in its re-
lations with coal and the railroads.
Effective conddct Of our war industries
now and successful trade competition
in the worlds markets later call for
prompt expansion of our electric CEN
to save coal and the hauling Of coal.
Coal and the war are closely asso-
ciated. Coal is short. There cannot be
enough produced to supply our needs
during the period of the war, and the
ending Of the war will only partially
and slightly relieve the situation. Re-
duced production of munitions and
ships, as we'll as suffering in our homes.
are the inevitable results Of this in
adequacy of fuel supply. Our whole
war programme is involved. Steel is
short because coal is short; railroad
congestion is at once a cause and a
result of the fuel situation; power sup
ply is largely fuel problem; and labor
scarcity can in part be offset by labor
saving machinery, if electric power can
be obtained to drive it.
The fuel administration warns of an
Impending catastrophe":
We cannot fill Pershng's orders in full
because the United States cannot make
sufficient steel shortage in steel results
almost entirely from lack Of coal:
Keep this in mind: General Pershing
will sit down with pencil in hand and
will figure UP the exact deficit in the filling
of his orders for munitions. With mill
tary formulas now we'll recognized he will
figure in place of those munitions how
many extra men must be put into the bat
tie to be killed. This is no fanciful state
New-York tribune., 1918-10-21


must be thrown into the hopper for every
thousand tons of munitions which are short.
1t refcrs to the power shortage as
likely to develop into p national
crisis:
We were warned by England that Eng
lands programme was set back from nine
To twelve months by the fact that she went
ahead and built up her plants for manu-
featuring war material and failed to pro-
vide power to take care of those factories.
We are to-day in exactly that same posi-
ton. The worst part of 1T Is that this
shortage is growing steadily.
Is our programme of war power sup
ply and its relations to the fuel situa-
tion being SO shaped as to save all
possible of these thousands of Ameri-
can youths thrown into the hopper"
Largely yes, but more can be done and
speed is essential.
The power used and needed by oul
war industries is electrical power. Not
only is it the most efficient and eco
nomical, but additional generating
capacity installed now can be applied
promptly and without waste to new in
dustral demands after the war. Most
of the power needed must come from
new steam driven power plants. These
will burn immense amounts Of coal
If located in the industrial districts
where tributary railroads are loaded te
the maximum, this coal must be OBJ
tanned by further reducing the meagrt
supply available for other uses. This
unpleasant dilemma, this forced choice
between power shortage and fuel short
age, can in many cases be avoided BY
installing the new power plants in min.
ing districts and delivering electrical
energy over high voltage transmission

with the ending of the war they
will increase in value, first, because
the pressure on the market occa-
stoned by the issuance of vast
amount of government securities
would be eased, and, second, be-
cause of the probability that taxa
tion would not increase, as would
be the case were the war to con-
tinue indefinitely, and probably
would decrease.

market last week was only what
had been expected to happen when
ever the factor that was holding
speculation in check and encourag
ing stubbornness on the part of
the hears-namely restrictions on
the supply of money for specula-
tion--was removed. And apparently
it was removed last week, though
by default rather than by formal
action. Whether the ban had been
lifted permanently or temporarily
cannot be said by any one except
the members of the money COM
mittee, who thus far have said moth
ing at all. The money market is
still controlling influence on the
stock market, just as it has been
for several months. With the
supply of funds restricted, specu-
lation, which feeds on a. plentiful
supply of money, could not gain
momentum, even though the course
cf events in Europe was favorable.
1t was impossible for the market
to give free expression of the con-
glomerate opinion as to the post
war prospects of the various enter
prises the shares of which are listed
on the Stock Exchange. Last week
that opinion was registered in the
varying trend of prices. Briefly,
the majority view, as thus expressed,
was that the railroad stocks will
tare better in peace than in war;
that most of the industrial and pub
let utility stocks will benefit
greatly from the restoration of
peace; that relatively few indus
trials will suffer, but not to the
same extent as others will be
favorably affected. and finally. that
most bonds are "peace" securities.
These views were emphatically
recorded in wide fluctuations, pro-
duced partly by buying by those
who had previously sold short in
anticipation of decline and partly
by new speculative and investment
buying. Perhaps they are we'll
founded, although it often happens
that Wall Street goes wrong in it's
attempts to forecast the future,
and surely that is much more
difficult task now than it ever was
before. At any rate, the Wall
Street view found wide support,
for once the contradistinct move
ments got under way. numerous
orders, large and small, began to
pour into tie nlarbe5 rom all
points of the compass. The public
is in, and on a large and rapidly ex-
panding scale. Whether it will stay
IN depends chiefly on the money COM
mittee. 1t may be that short cover
ing played so important a part in
the market Of last week that the
increased activity brought relatively
little increase in market loans, but
1t is obvious that transactions on the
enormous scale of the last few davs
cannot long continue without i'm
posing heavy demands on the money
market, just when the banks are
stralning credits to finance the loan
completed Saturday. If the COM
mlttee intends to make any move
to check speculation, it should,
therefore, do SO without delay. The
market might quickly work into a
position where the issuance of an
other warning would be fraught
with danger.
