Finance - Economics

Students of the technical condi-
ton of the stock market were of the
opinion yesterday that it was due
tor reaction any way, and that the
rews from Washington simply made
1T more severe. After a sharp rise
in the market has been checked by
short selling there is usually a sec
ondary rally caused by the running
in of short sellers. This is probably
what Mondays rise was. The ave-
rage price reached that day was not
as high as either the Wednesday or
Thursday prices of last week. The
short interest on Monday had been
pretty we'll cleaned out, and this left
the professional short sellers free to
attack the market yesterday. They
were successful, in that they
brought about severe declines, and
they had plausible excuse in the
news; but the market gave a rather
remarkable exhibition of strength in
the late afternoon, in face of the
news. Its almost complete recovery
left the short sellers with little to
their credit.

The London Economist" exhib-
its what has happened to the Brit
ish banking world during the war.
It combines the reports Of the five
largest banks of London Excluding
the Bank of England, which is
largely a bankers bank), and finds
that current and deposit accounts
rose from $3,289,65 at the end
of 1918 to $6,525,475,0O at the
end Of 1918. "Cash in hand" rose
from S549, 100000 to $1,367,495,-
600; investments from $473,455,-
600 to $1,294, ,665, 900; discounts,
loans and advances from $2,521,-
$4,000 to $4,280,190,00O. That is,
deposits increased 81 per cent, cash
1T per cent, investments 173 per
cent, and loans 70 per cent. On the
basis of these five banks, the "Econ-
omist" figures that when the figures
of all banks are in they will show
a growth in deposits from $5,165,-
100000 at the end Of 1913 to S1O,-
000,000,000 at the end Of last year.
What does this increase of nearly
S5,000,000,000 mean? The "Econo-
MIST thinks it the measure of war
imitation. Deposits do not repre-
sent cash. Only about one-fifth are
iii cash; the rest is credit ''It is
amusing now," it says, "to remem-
Der that in the early years of the
war the rapid growth of the bank
deposits was hailed as an astonish-
ing proof Of the growth Of
the nations wealth during a
time when an ever-increasing
portion of its energy was being
devoted to destruction. Actually
the growth of bank deposits is
largely the measure Of the extent
to which the facilities offered by an
almost perfect banking system have
been abused by our financial rulers
during the war. Because they had
not the pluck to tax as they ought
to have taxed, nor the wit to in
duce or compel us to meet the war
cost by saving money for loans,
they were obliged to meet the gap
between receipts and expenditures
by the creation Of banking credit
and paper money. Instead Of TAX
ing or getting money from us, and
80 reducing our buying power as
fast as theirs had to grow, they
made new buying power, so reduc-
ing It's effectiveness and that Of
ours, through the consequent rise
in prices, which incidentally added
enormously to the cost of the war
and to suspicion and discomfort
among the workers, Of which we
are now beginning to reap the
fruits"

The adjournment of Congress

grave misgivings. Senator Martins

dent Wilson's remark that the will

deliberately chosen to "imperil the
financial interests Of the railway
systems" we're alike unsettling; but
these were not calm judgments
Of actual effect. The bill will doubt
less be among the first taken up if
an extra session is called In the
meantime, it is still possible that the
War Finance Corporation may be
able to aid. The railroad administra-
ton can possibly shift part of it's
burden to the banks by withdrawing
certain sums out of the former ere
volving fund" now existing in the
shape of call loans to individual
roads. And the fund was designated
to take care Of the railroads fiscal
needs for the year beginning July 1
next, rather than to provide for past
expenses. The filibuster action was
taken hv Senators who ara ordi
narily considered the "friends" of
the railroads. What is feared now
is deadlock between the President
and the Senate. If it came to that,
President Wilson might threaten to
turn the roads Immediately back to
their owners. 1t is not likely that
he will, but the mere discussion of
the possibility creates uncertainty,
which is not healthy for the stock
market.

Must Be Recognized as Highly
Necessary.

It is important that the mother or
Nurse attending child with con

walk in the fresh air every day. The
best way for her to arrange this is
to keep change of clothing ia the
room next to tile sick room. She
should also battle before leaving the
house or in fact before she comes in
contact with anyone. If n bathroom
has been set aside for quarantine, she
should use this If not. n screen and a

She should leave the house by the

Geneva, Jan. 1.-two thousand

to a dispatch received here. The
Ukrainians have been bombarding
Przemysl for several days. past by
land and air, and conditions in the
town are described as terrible. The
gas and electric plants have been de-
stroyed and there is no light in the
town. Water and FOO, are also lack
ing. The Bolshevist government in
Petrograd has telegraphed an ulti-
matum to the Swiss federal authori-
ties, saying that unless thirty Boil
shevists, who were arrested and i'm
prisoned in the fortress of Savantan,
in the canton of Valais, are released
before February /, thirty Swiss citi-
zens in Petrograd will be shot with
out trial. There is great indigna-
tion here over the. situation.

expelled, has returned secretly with
several million rubles, for the carry

Denver Defeats Com mission.

Denver.-Home rule for Denver and
five other cities, giving them sole right
to regulate telephone rates, was
recognized by the Supreme Court in
reversing ruling made by the Colo
rado Public Utilities Commission for
increased charges in favor of the
Mountain States Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. The question of jur-
isdiction had been raised by officials
of the city of Denver, and the matter
taken to the Supreme Court on stipu-
lation for the purpose of bringing a
test of section of article 20 of the
constitution. Other special charter
cities affected are Pueblo, Colorado
Springs, Grand Junction, Fort Collins
and Boulder. The Denver Tramway
Company, facing a similar issue
brought by the city, announced that
the 6-cent fare will be restored pend
ing a final decision of the Supreme
Court in the telephone rate case.

California Halts Ratification.

San rancisco.-Almost in the hour
that the lower house of the California
Legislature, in session at Sacramento.
was taking final action toward rati-
flying the federal constitutional pro-
hibition amendment, Judge James
Trout, in Superior Court here, issued
an order temporarily restraining Gov
ernor William S. Stephens from GER
tifying to the secretary of state Cali
fornia's ratification of the federal
amendment. Judge Trout also issued
an alternative writ requiring the gov
ernor to appear in court and show
cause why the order should not be
made permanent. The arguments
upon which the writ was obtained
were two: First, that constitutional
referendum is applicable to every ac-
ton of the California Legislature, and
second, that the federal constitutional
amendment was not proposed origi-
nally by two-thirds of each house Of
Congress.
