Cotton

Liquidation continued in the cotton
market yesterday and carried prices
down for net losses of Sc to $685. a
bale. The closing was at or near the
lowest. October dropped to 27.79, as
compared with its recent high of 1920,
and July fell to 2875, as compare d
with its high of $3.50. When the mar
ket opened Liverpool prices were 23 to
28 points under the previous closing,
and sales started at declines of 26 to
49 points. The selling was encour-
aged by improved weather in the cot
ton belt and by indications of less ac-
tlvlty in the goods trades. Whenever
prices rallied there was a fresh out
burst of selling. The buying power
was just sufficient to check the de-
cline from time to time
While there has been a slackeninp
of business in the goods markets, many
manufacturers have yet to obtain their
supplies of raw cotton. Telegrams
from Boston said there was an in
creased inquiry from New England
mill buyers.
Speaking of the weather, an observer
said yesterday that twenty-five years
ago wet May, like the one we have
just had in the cotton belt, would have
meant short crop. Since then, how
ever, methods of cultivation have
changed, and while wet May is a
great drawback in preventing cultiva-
ton of the crop, and brings weeds,
grass and foul fields, it's effects can
be overcome by a moderately dry June
and excellent weather during July and
August.
Exports from all ports yesterday
were 42,746 bales. In the local spot
market middling upland was quoted at
$685.
Prices for future contracts follow.

Who Will They Sell To.

The return of the stock market after
its first real break on Tuesday was
inevitable, because of the psychologi-
cal condition Of traders or potential
traders. After the market had been
rising for some time two things hap
pened. A lot of people who missed
the market promised themselves that
hey would get in "on the first re-
action" A lot of other traders took
profits, only to see the market advance
further. Pride, if nothing else, pre-
vented a good many of them from en-
tering the market again at the higher
Prices. and they, too, promised them
selves that they would get in again
When the reaction in anticipation of
which they had sold actually came. This
potential buying force had grown to
vast proportions when the reaction
finally came. 1t seized upon it's op-
portunity. Prices have now more than
recovered. Now that these folk are
loaded up" with stocks, in the opin-
ion Of the cynic, as we'll as those who
had been loaded up all the time, the
cynic asks who they are going to sell
their stocks to on the next break?
It is this line of reasoning which has
led to the belief in a secondary re-
action. But Tuesdays break proved
20 be an opportunity The next break,
when and if it comes, may also be
looked a. in that light.

Lackawanna Earns
3O.35 Per Cent ON Stock
1918 Gross Earnings Show In
crease of $l,879,554 Over
Preceding Year

The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad, as a result of opera
tlons in 1918. returned a surplus of
a S12,834,052, equal to 3o35 per cent
on the s42.277 900 outstanding capital
stock, compared with 40.57 per cent
earned in 1917. In calculating last
years earnings S14,174,52S, or 80 per
cent of the government standard re-
turn Of S15749,476 was included in the
income account In this connection
W. Fl. Truesdale, president of the COM
pany, in the annual report issued YES
terday, said:
There would seem to be no good
reason why the full amount should not
ultimately be collected, as the net oper-
ating income for the year of the com
pany's lines taken over by the director
general was about $250,000 more than
the full amount of compensation due
the company"
Gross earnings Of the D. L. and W.
last year were $68,74O,O76, new high
record, as we'll as being $1,879,554
above the total for 1917. Operating
expenses, however, increased $12,249,-
1876, so that the operating income of
Sl5,853,905 showed falling off of
S856,5S9. Of the 1918 gross earnings
S19,009,s45 was derived from the trans
portaton of coal, s31,2s7,553 from the
transportation of merchandise freight
and $11,204,813 from the transportation
of passengers.
The increased operating expenses,
Mr.. Truesdale informed stockholders,
were due in large measure to advances
in wages and changes in conditions of
service made by the Director General
from time to time throughout the year
and which in many cases dated back to
January I, 1918; also in part to in
creased cost of fuel and all materials
and supplies used in the operation and
maintenance Of the railway"

n. Y. Railways Foreclosure
Authorized by Court

Judge Mayer in the United States
District Court yesterday issued an or
der granting permission to the Farm
ers' Loan and Trust Company, as trus
tee, to bring foreclosure suit against
the New York Railways Company and
the receiver, Job Hedges.
The Farmers Loan and Trust Company
is the trustee under the adjustment
mortgage of January 1, 1912, to secure
an issue of $33,oo0,ooo thirty-hve- year
5 per cent income bonds, of which
S30,616,4S7 are outstanding. The pro-
posed action is based on the default
of interest and also because the street
railway company has been placed in the
hands of a receiver.
1t is said that the suit is to be
brought for the purpose of securing
all legal rights of the trust company
and that it will not necessarily be
brought to a conclusion.

Spec1dt Correspondence
TORONTO, June Elm response TO
an inquiry made by your repre- resenta
tive the finance department at Ottawa
said that the figures as to the Bank
of England's gold deposited in Ottawa
are confidential.
Prominent Toronto bankers are of
opinion that the depository at Ottawa
has in store a large volume of cold
for account Of the Bank of England.
probably in excess of $20O,O00,0OO 1t
is known that from time to time large
consignments of gold have arrived
in Ottawa.
Now that sterling is no longer
pegged, and in view of the fact that the
sale of British goods to the United
States is limited, only by a steady
stream of gold or by new loans can the
rate on sterling be maintained. Great
Britain will be reluctant to undertake
further credits on a large scale, and
she commands most of the gold out
put of the world. The first consider
alton of the British government will
be to establish a good basis for pur-
chases abroad.
The British Empire produces ap-
proximately $3O0,0OO,00O out of the
worlds annual output of $45O,O0O, 900.
South Africa contributes S2OO,OOO,OOO
and Bank of England statements have
indicated that comparatively little gold
has gone to the United Kingdom 1t is
believed that large proportion of
South Africa's gold output has come
direct to Canada and that the United
States may anticipate a steady flow
of gold from Ottawa on British ac-
count for some time to come.
Renewal shipments of gold from Ot
tawa to New York on account of Great
Britain recalls financial romance of
the war. When hostilities broke out,
Great Britain began to purchase enor-
nous quantities of materials in the
United States, which had to be paid for
in large measure in gold Britain
wanted to ship gold to Canada direct
from South Africa and cabled to find
out if Ottawa authorities could store
large amounts safely. The new Ottawa
depository, probably the finest in the
world, had Just been completed, and
the Canadian government was able to
cable reply that the government
could store all the Bank of England
could send. During the following few
months over s100o,oOO was shipped.

The future status of the railway
companies of the country generally,
both physical and financial, is anything
but reassuring as a result of the gov
ernments experiment in managing
their properties since January !, 1918
The public does not as yet fully realize
or appreciate, nor will it for some time
to come, how seriously and permanent
ly the transportation facilities on
which it has relied in the past to carry
on the commercial and other activities
OF the country have been crippled and
their future growth stunted and re-
strlcted by what has happened to them

Marine Earnings

The earnings of the international
Mercantile Marine Company were, it
is said, 100 per cent greater last
April than in the same month of the
year before. This is a result of our
unprecedented exports, which in
April reached the highest figure IN our
history. The original offer for the
company's British assets seemed
tempting because it was thought that
such a price was based on war earn
ings, which could not last. Now it is
coming to be thought that peace earn
ings for the next few years will be
even greater than war earnings. be-
cause peace trade will be greater.
That accounts for much of the opposi-
tion to the sale.
