same way, in the larger centres, re-
fusal by banks as a group to lend
on standard securities would seri
ously impair the liquidity of invest
ments and would force liquidation
which might disturb very seriously
the whole financial situation" This
may be significant in connection
with the recent request of local
bankers for ruling as to whether
they were to consider Stock Ex-
change loans essential.
New-York tribune., 1918-09-06

The best suggestion yet made in
connection with the discussion of
non-essential credits is that present
cd by Governor Harding, Of the
Federal Reserve Board, in the ad-
dress delivered last night before the
Ohio Bankers Association-namely,
that the Federal Reserve banks or
ganize, leach in it's own district, To-
cal groups of leading bankers and
business men, in order to discuss
ways and means of bringing about
the desired result" Cooperation be-
tween the banks and business men
is exactly what is needed, but as it
stands the banks must make all de-
cisions relating to credits on their
own responsibility. Mr.. Harding
takes exception to the suggestion
that curtailment of credit should be
effected through advancing redis-
count rates, a plan recently advo-
Gated by the American Bankers As
sociation. "The board does not be-
lieve," he says, that in the existing
situation marked advances in rates
would be advisable, in view of the
obvious necessity of avoiding any
policy likely to disturb the financial
operations of the Treasury. The
needs of those industries and COM
mercial enterprises which are di-
rectly contributory to the conduct
of the war must be supplied at all
hazards, and a drastic advance in
discount rates would not reduce the
financial requirements of such con-
Germs, but would merely impose an
added cost upon the people"
He added that "it is exceedingly
difficult to lay down any fixed and
definite rules to govern in distin-
gushing between essential and non
essential credits. A loan might be
desired for what appears at first
glance to be non-essential pur-
pose, and yet failure to obtain the
credit might create a condition
which might indirectly have a dis
tinctly harmful effect upon the abil-
ity of productive enterprises in the
community to obtain credit. In the

WALL STREET OFFICE:
Mills Building, is Wall st.


is to be appointed Ito consider the
desirability and feasibility of effect
ing a stabilization of cotton prices
which means, presumably, price
fixing, since there is no other way
of effectively stabilizing prices-up-
set the cotton market yesterday and
caused a sharp drop in quotations.
Brokers and traders were much wor-
ried by the announcement, because
the fixing of prices would eliminate
speculation in the commodity. just
as it did in the case of wheat. But
time may prove that those who sold
cotton on the news acted too hastily.
There is wide difference between
appointing a committee to consider
the question and the actual fixing of
prices. The investigation is likely
to be quite as much political as eco
nomic in character, and the opinion
was expressed in many quarters that
10 action would be taken by the
proposed committee, owing to the
bitterness of the opposition in the
politically powerful South. Also, it
was said that there might be such
great Improvement in the crop pros
pect in the next few weeks that stab
ilization would be considered un-
necessary.
The attitude of the South toward
price fixing has shifted amazingly
in the last few months. Early in
the year there was a wild outcry
when such action was proposed, one
Southern Senator going so far as to
say that if the demand for a fixed
price for cotton should be pressed
he would insist upon the fixing of
all commodity prices, including the
price Of labor, regardless of the
necessity for such action. But that
was when prices were high and
seemingly were going higher. Then
came an unprecedented improve
ment in the cotton prospect, and
prices promptly slumped. Where
upon, the South began to demand
the fixing of prices upon level
substantially higher than that which
prevailed at the time. Some South
ern organizations went so far as to
r;ox,o,,J +bo+ +bo crovorp,,,op+ o,or
anty to purchase at fancy price
all cotton that the planters were un-
able to dispose of in other ways
Then disaster befell the growing
crop, prices rose to new record
levels, and now it is contended that
"there should be no interference
with the law of demand and sup
ply" that the market should be al
lowed to take it's own course, which
one enthusiastic Southern grower
yesterday prophesied would lead
the price above 40 cents a pound.
If the government, whether wisely
or not does not matter much now,
were not already committed to a
policy of price fixing, the South's
contention would perhaps be re
oeived sympathetically elsewhere,
but it is naturally hard to convince
the wheat grower that cotton should
be immune when profits on his prod
uct have been fixed by naming a
price relatively much lower than the
current price for cotton. The argu-
ment that price fixing would pre-
vent hedging operations is not very
convincing, inasmuch as there would
be no necessity for hedging in a
stabilized market.

which is owing to the fact that in Eng

Relevant Comment
New Haven Bonds Strong

Bonds of the New Haven railroad
and affiliated companies developed pro-
nounced strength yesterday. The New
Haven convertible 3 13s of 1856 should
at 53 and sold up to 60, compared with
93 at the close of last week. The New
Haven 312 debentures of 1854 sold at
81, compared with 51A last week
opened at 52%, sold to GO and closed
at 56. The last previous sale of these
bonds were made at 50 Y and the low
for the year is As. There was no spe-
clal explanation for the sensational
rise in these issues apart from the
TACT that Wall Street looks now for
an early completion of the railroad
contract that will clear up much of the
uncertainty surrounding the general
railroad situation.
Tobacco Notes Bear p. c. Interest
The $25,000,000 issue of American
Tobacco Company notes, which a syn
dicate headed by the Guaranty Trust
Company is prepared to offer as soon
as the capital issues committee gives
its approval Of the company's refund
ing operation, will run from one to
five years and will bear interest at 7
per cent. 1t was denied yesterday that
the bankers had already purchased the
notes. This development, it was point
ed out, would depend largely on the
governing body's decision as to whether
the issue may be foated before the
next Liberty Loan.

tions failure to advance the funds nee

the issue is being considered. The
Bankers Trust Company, as trustee un-
der the note indenture. has requested
the road to prepare a list of fifty of
the most prominent noteholders with
view to determining the personnel of
the committee. 1t is likely that any
official action, however, will await the
decision of the board of directors,
which is scheduled to convene next
Tuesday.

Treasury Account statement ex-
planning this said: The presence of
an American army, which is constantly
increasing, has brought about negota-
tions between the French and Ameri-
can governments. Without awaiting
a conclusion of these pourparlers,
the American treasury has placed a
special credit of $2O0O0O,0OO at the
disposition Of the French treasury
which has transferred it to the Bank
of France on the basis of metallic par
lty. thus reducing advances by the
Bank. AS these dollars are utilized.
the bank will credit the treasury with
the difference between the metallic
Y and the rate of exchange at
winch the dollars are transferred. The
government thus itself is lnteprallv
assured of the benefit of the exchanges
resulting from this operation, of which
the first effect is to liqudatc its debt
to the bank of 1,o86,OO0OOO francs"

Wheat The recent rains which ex

wheat belt of the country have placed
the soil in an unusually fine condition
for fall ploughing. Farmers are now
busily engaged in preparing their land
for fall seeding, and as the farmers are
now assured of good price for their
wheat next year it is believed that
very large acreage will be planted
Ploughing is also in progress IN the
Northwest, which will very materially
