Coal Output Smaller
Production for Week Shows a
Slump of 100000 Tons

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The pro-
duction of bituminous coal for the
week ended March Is fell 100000
tons short Of the same week last year,
because Of lack of demand, the Geo
logical Survey reported to-day to the
Fuel Administration. The output was
8,065,000 net tons.
The survey estimates that the close
of the coal year on March 81 viii show
that the production will not exceed that
of the previous year by more than 81,
100000 net tons, although it stood at
an excess Of more than 4O,000,000 net
tons on November /
1t is estimated that The actual pro-
duction for the coal year will be ap-
proximatcly 55S. 10000 net tons, as
compared with 5S5. .SS3, 900 net tons dur
ing the calender year 1918.
Production Of anthracite during the
week ended March 10, estimated ut H.
per cent in excess of the output Of the
year ago the production was 2,099, 600
net tons. Total production for the coal
year to March 5 is estimated at &c.
1000 net tons, as compared with 95,-
100000 net tons during the same pc
riod Of the previous year.
During the four months from Novem-
Der /, 1918, to March /, 1919, the pro-
duction Of anthracite and bituminous
coal combined has been from $4,000 900
to 29,000,000 tons less than during the
same months, one, two and three years

"The Belgian railways, the greater
part of which belong to the state, and
formerly provided an income in excess
of the interest charges Of the public
debt, and represented an outlay Of
nearly 100000, 900 francs, extended
over 4,719 kilometres at the end
of 1912. There were besides secondary
railways of local interest generally
called "chemins de fcrvicinaux' rural
railways), which covered a distance OF
4,745 kilometres. No country in the
world possesses such a network in pro-
portion to the size of the country. In
Belgium there are .16 kilometre Of rail
ways square kilometre of territory,
while IN France there are only .07 kilo-
metre, and in Great Britain l2 kilo-
metre.
with regard to population. at the
end Of 1910 Belgium had 7.423,7S4 in
habltants spread over a territory of
only ,451 square kilometres-w which
means that in 1910 there were 257
Belgians for every square kilometre
of land. This is significant when com
pared with the ratio of population to
area Of the great powers. For instance
France has seventy-four inhabitants to
Kingdom and Ireland have 144.
Intensive Development
ain order to live on such a re-
stricted territory the Belgians must
devote themselves with great intensity
to commerce and industry. In fact, be-
fore the war, Belgium occupied fifth
place among the great powers in the
commerce of the world. She surpassed
countries greater and more populated,
such as Russia and Italy.
"Living in Belgium before the war
was 80 per cent cheaper than in the
neighboring countries - France, Ger
many and England. And Belgian work
ers received lower wages than those in
the countries bordering, which made it
possible to procure very skilful, high
low figure. Cost prices, there fore, were
low, and Belgium could compete ad-
vantageouslys in the markets of the
world.
"Thc income tax and the personal
property tax do not exist in Belgium.
Before the war there was tax on land,
which was calculated upon the renting
value Of the property, but this renting
value was instituted more than fifty
years ago and was much lower. OF
course, than the present renting value
The taxes IN Belgium, consequently
are very light, which is conducive to
cheap living and low rate of military
expenses. The direct taxation in Bel
gium amounts only to so francs per
inhabitant; in England and in France
the rate is more than double that.
"The past should be a guarantee for
the future. Belgium has shown her
self to be chivalrous, Industrious and
energetic in the past these same
qualities will undoubtedly help her to
build new economic structure, which
may be greater and better than the
old"

The money market Of the past
week was exceptionally interesting.
In the first few days, Monday and
Tuesday, rates were extremely easy,
the renewal rate on Tuesday of a
per cent being the lowest since Jan
uary %. This reflected the paw

Of the $794 100000 maturing GER
tificatcs Of indebtedness as had not
been used to pay taxes. Later in
the week the tax payment checks
began to come from the govern
mcnt to the banks. TO meet this
the banks had to call in day-to- day
loans, and the renewal rate went
on Thursday TO per cent for tho
first time in two weeks. The tax
payments already total 81 ,244,-
900 and are not yet quite complete.
That leaves more than 5000, 900, 900
surplus over the recently maturing
certificates Of indebtedness that
should eventually find Its way back

Coal Commission
Planned to Handle
Trades Problems
Government, Operators and
Labor Would Be Repre-
sented in Body to Act Dur
ing Readjustment Period

WASHINGTON, March 23-Plans for
more effective cooperation between the
government and the coal industry, with
expected benefits resulting to the gen
eral public, have been submitted in ref
erendum form to the members of the
National Coal Association, representing
three-fourths Of the country's bitumin-
GUS production. The fuel administra-
ton, in making this announcement to-
day, said the plans we're the outgrowth
Garfield with coal operators and mine
workers.
The plans, which the fuel admins
tration said were submitted to Presi-
dent Wilson before his return to
France, provide that during the period
of REIMBURSEMENT and thereafter" COM
mission consisting of member of the
Cabinet and representatives of opera
tors and miners shall consider all
problems affecting the industry. The
commission would act as an advisory
body in matters of cost Of production,
labor conditions, transportation and
other problems of the industry
VIII Hold Meeting Soon
Officials of the National Coal Associ-
alton, it was said, have urged operators
in all producing fields of study the pro-
posals and advise the association's g
directorate Of their atti.u and wishes.
The matter will be taken up at meet
ing of the associations directors in
Cleveland April Ia.
The fuel administration in a state
ment to-day said the plan in brief pro-
poses:
"That all facts relating to the in
dustry or any question touching it,
such as the cost of living, the cost of
production. labor conditions. trans
portation facilities and other factors
entering into the cost Of coal be off,
cially and accurately ascertained by
some Of the regular government agen-
cies.
"That the public is one of the parties
at interest, the other two being capital
and labor, and that no action affecting
any of the findings Of fact be taken
until al three parties, through their
duly qualified representatives, shah
have had an opportunity to consider
and discuss the proposals.
THAT the termination of facts. as
outlined, and the formulation of ad-
ministative policy are two separate and
distinct functions, and therefore should
not be performed by the same agency
of the government.
THAT the findings of facts thus pro-
posed should be submitted to a perma
nent department or commission of the
government.
Function of Commission
"That the President designate some
Cabinet officer or other appropriate Of
fetal to represent the public in consid-
ering any policy proposed, and that as
advisers to the commissioner there
should be an equal number, say three,
of representatives of operators and
miners. The function of the commits
sion would be the consideration of all
problems affecting the industry and the
formulation of policies to deal with
such problems, the commission being
a purely advisory body, and
THAT the commission shall make
recommendation TO the President. who
would thus be placed in close relation
with the industry and all factors en-
tering into it, making for its prosper
ity or retarding it's development"
New-York tribune., 1919-03-24
relatively speaking, to the burdens
carried by the banks"

But there is no need for this.
Though the board remarks that
financial custom has usually die
tated the absorption of short term
issues by investment institutions" it
must not be forgotten that all our
previous Liberty Loan campaigns
were nothing if not the shattering
of financial CUSTOM" AS one prom
inent banker commented recently:
'Thc public may take a smaller part
of this than of previous loans and
the banks larger part, but it will
not be because these notes are any
the less fit for investment by indi-
viduals, nor because they are bet
ter tit for investment by banks, but
simply because, under a misconcep-
ton, there is widespread talk that
this is the case; and the belief may
bring it's own realization"

AS fact, an inducement for pri-
vate individuals to subscribe for the
Forthcoming notes exists that has
not existed in any previous Liberty
Loan but one, and that is the tax
exemption feature. This is a far
more powerful factor in the coming
issue than it was with the 31a per
cents, for income tax rates are
higher now than then. More i'm
portant than that, the tax exemption
means more, for the high taxes will
probably run for the same period as
the notes, whereas the 311s per cents
run from fifteen to thirty years, and
one accepted low yield to protect
one from taxes when taxes will cease
to mean much. This may lead to a
gradual decline Of those bonds with
declining tax rates. But the short
term notes mature at par in five
years or less, and would leave the
holder free at that time to invest
in other securities bearing higher
yield, even though taxable.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-24

The breaking Of Steel common
through par is gorgeous adver-
tisement. 1t will doubtless attract
more of the public to the market.
But there are some things it would
be we'll not to forget. The market
has been rising since February 10.
That is six weeks ago. Such move
ments, without reaction, usually
last only four to six weeks. Dur
ing the present rise Steel common,
counting it's dividends, has gained
ID points. Another 10-point gain
Immediately on top Of that would
be highly unusual. The technical
position has been weakened by the
enormous short covering of the last
few days. Fundamental conditions
behind the market are still vastly
alluring. But there is such a thing
as a transiently unstable condition
within a market.

The investment market still con-
tinues to mark time. Liberty bonds
declined fractionally during the
week. The present dilemma is this:
That Secretary Glass will not make
up his mind what interest rate the
new loan will bear until immedi-
ately before the loan is foated. He
wants to determine the rate by con-
dltions in the investment market.
But those conditions are themselves
being determined by uncertainty as
to what the interest rate on the loan
will be. Meanwhile the new loan is
still month away.

Jesse Livermore will go down in
Wall Street history as a symbol of
intellectual bankruptcy. The bank
ruptcy is not Mr.. Livermore' but
that of the financial writers. The
reference is not to Jesse Livermore
the man, but to Jesse Livermore the
explanation. Whenever Steel COM
mon goes down without an obvious
reason, why it should go down or
when it goes up without such obvi-
Gus reason or when it's movements
are violent and transactions in it
enormous, even though other reason
is apparent, you will find some one
invariably to ascribe it to Jesse
Livermorc. Friday he is reputed
to have covered thousands of shares
OF Steel common. No method of
trading is thought by the financial
writer's too absurd for him to adopt,
no whlm too eXtravagant for him
to be moved by. Wall Street COM
ment will have him throw $4,000
shares on the market all in one
day, because he is going to spend
weekend in the country. He
covers a similar amount within an
hour. He can become an entire
short interest in himself. He is
blamed for all the inscrutable things
of this days market, like Mark
Twain, who must stand sponsor for
every joke of his generation.
If the market were now going
down Wall Street would be dis
cussing the depressing situation in
the traction stocks, the receiver
ship first Of the B. r. r., next of
New York Railways, now of the In
terborough Consolidated and the
possible receivership for the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit. Wall Street
would be discussing also the dis
turbing state of foreign exchange.
1t would touch on 1taly's threatened
bolt of the peace conference. 1t
would make much of the terrible
copper outlook. 1t would be upset
by speculations on how the rail
roads were going to get their funds.
1t would even talk in a bad way
about the effect of the cut in steel
prices, in reducing the profits of
steel companies. But marvellous
is the effect Of rising prices on the
mind. Wall Street either does not
discuss these things or it talks about
them in bullish way. Two months
ago the atmosphere on the floor of
the Stock Exchange was so blue you
could have cut it with a knife. Yet
there has been no particular change
since that time in the industrial sit
uation; if anything, the news is
worse. If retail business is amaz-
ingly active now it was amazingly
active then. If there was no busi
ness borrowing then, there is none
now. But stock prices then had
been falling.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-24

Now, a government loan is com
monty thought Of as an operation
that ties up an enormous amount
of banking funds. In reality it is
an operation which releases an enor-
nous amount Of banking funds.
For before the campaign begins the
banks have already taken the loan
in the treasury certificates they
subscribe for. A loan campaign is
essentially a process of unloading
the bonds from the banks to the
people. The government gets the
money and with it pays Off the
maturing certificates of indebted
ness. If the bank purchases the
bonds for a customer it merely de-
lays the process of relief; the bank
pays for the bonds with certificates
of indebtedness already held and
the customer begins paying money
into the bank at regular intervals.
On the present operation the banks
have already taken more than $4,-
100000 of these. They have
been taken over period Of several
