LIVERPOOL REPORTS

New York, July 15.--Reports that the

cring.
The market met increased offerings
at 81 6Oc for October. or about 40 points
above the early low level. and broke
very sharply during the middle OF the
morning, under Wall street and west

34.90c, and January to 34.65c. or about
rs points net lower. after which trading
became less active, with midday prices
showing rallies Of several points on
continued trade buying and covering.
Both foreign and domestic trade in
terests were credited with buying on
the early afternoon advance, which
carried October up from $4,000 to IS. Soc

The market met renewed Wall street
liquidation at this level, and later fluc-
tuations were irregular

/ which have been laid upon the roads
as a result OF successive wage In
creases and the wartime price OF ma
terials.
IL is indicated by q review OF off,
cial earnings figures submitted to the
interstate commerce commission, ac-
cording 10 statements made by rail-
wav executives, that a further deficit
OF $500,000,000 year must be made
up. This cannot be accomplished by
economy in buying materials, accord
ing TO officials OF the railroad admin
istration. 1t can only be accom-
plished by charging the shipper and
the passenger more for service.
Increase Aids Roads.
The fiat rs per cent. increase In
freight rates ordered by Director
General McAdoo has netted to the
railroads somewhat more than $780,
100000 On that basis IL will be nee
essary to jump the rates is per cent.
at least in order to raise the $780,
100000 which must come from some
where. II passenger rates remain
stationary. 20 per cent will be the
probable amount of the freight rate
increase.
A forecast OF advance returns to
tne interstate commerce commission
indicates that the railroad deficit
for May will be close to $50, 900,
as compared with an average deficit
in the preceding four months OF S4s,-
100000. The Ave months deficit will
not be less than $213,000,000 or as
much as the total deficit for the class
] railroads for the entire first year
OF government operation. These fig-
ures do not include minor expenses
of the railroad administration itself,
which will make the total somewhat
higher.
Operating revenues for May, as so
far reported, were $407,942,000. an
increase Of s.s per cent. over 1918;
operating expenses were s350.861. 900
an increase of "a per cent; taxes
were s15,611.00O. an Increase OF per
cent. and the net operating income
was $Ss,530,o0o. a loss of 46.4 per
cent. The standard return. or May
average net operating income in the
Ihree-year period, was $77,426, 900.
This leaves deficit for the month Of
1888, 500, 900.

Washington. July I5.--The pros
poet Is that the American people will
be subject to a further tax of is ia
20 per cent in transportation costs
either before or soon after the gov
eminent surrenders the railroads to
their owners. Many railroad execu-
lives are convinced that this tax will
have to be placed as high as 2b per
cent. IL some OF the railway systems

Already two horizontal freight rate
advances have been made In an ef-
fort to place the railroads OF the
country upon self-supporting basis.
but that is not enough. A total OF
approximately s1,200,000,000 addi-
tional revenue has accrued TO the
railroads from the eastern is per
cent. advance and from the general
Is per cent. raise, but that has not
absorbed the heavier operating costs

had little effect on the consumption Of
liquor. Served az a-&art of the gov
ernment ration to soldiers during the
Civil War, the annual per capita con-
sumption gradually climbed from
about SIS gallons in 1860, until it
reached almost twenty-three gallons
in 1906. This figure was only slightly
reduced until 1915, since when the
consumption has dropped to 1914 gall

After a long fight in Congress, led
by Richmond p. Hobson, Alabama,
hero of the Merrimac, first action on
the national prohibition amendment
was obtained in committees of the Six
ty-Fourth Congress, neither the Sen
ate~or the House approving the plan
at the time Senator Morris Sheppard,
Texas, introduced the amendment in
the Senate, and Representative Edwin
Y. Webb. North Carolina, in the
House. The same resolution was pre-
sented TO the Sixty-fifth Congress in
December, 1915. On December IA,
1916, the House judiciary committee
reported 1t out. Finally the prohibi-
tion amendment was passed by the
Senate. August /, 1917 by vote of 65
to 20, and in the House, December II,
by vote of 2S2 to 12S.
The effect of the act will be felt
principally in the following states,
which have the following percentage
of their population in wet territory.

ures:
California. 1877; Connecticut, 80;

last year because of the rapid ad-
vance of prohibition.
Achievement of national prohibition
has been one of the most spectacular,
as well as one of the longest reform
movements, in American history. Pro-
hibition gained little ground until the
present movement started about fif-
teen years ago Then there were only
three dry states: Maine, Kansas, and
North Dakota, although many eoun-
ties in the South had voted local op-
tion.
Maine was the first state to adopt
prohibition, restriction being placed
on the sale of liquor there in 1916.
Real prohibition was enacted in 1851
there, but was repealed in 1856. Then
again in 1853 it was re-enacted by a
5 to l vote.
Carrie Nation Takes a Hand.
Kansas was the second state to fall
into the dry column, the vote being
taken in 1881. The law, however, was
laxly enforced until about fifteen years
ago.
This lax enforcement started Carrie
