Alexandria Shipping News.

The United States Steamship Com
pany has taken over for operation
one Of the 9,400-ton steel vessels
built at Its yard at Alexandria. Va,
for the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
1t Is understood that others built by
the company may be similarly ac-
quired. The ship In question has al
ready started with a cargo for Italy.
This company has approximately
$140,000.000 business on its books for
new ships. of which $50, 1000, 600. rep
resents twenty-four vessels to be de-
livered to the United States Shipping
Board. With it's present yard facfli-
ties it will take the company nearly
three years to fill the contracts on
hand. The Virginia yard, however
can add four ways to its equipment.
While accepting orders for some
wooden ships of small tonnage, the
main contracts of the United states
Company have been for $500 and 9.4OO
ton steel vessels, some of which are
building in Connecticut and the others
in Virginia. About six have been
launched and one Of them has been
acquired by the company from the
government.
Eventually it is expected that all
of the ships built at its yards will
be flying the flag of the United States
Steamship Company between New
York and foreign ports. At the out.
set the company acquired about
twenty old steamers, upon which II

Must Liquidate Loans.

Liquidation of these war finance
investments and loans" 1t says, "is
clearly a necessary preliminary to any
large and genuine improvement in
the banking and credit situation. Such
liquidation means the purchase OF war
securities by actual investors. That
such liquidation will be stimulated
through improvement in the market
for government bonds Is clear. The
recent improvement in the govern

improvement because of increased
realization that government long-term
financing is over. is. therefore. of good
augury for the general banking sit
uation.
Liquidation. in the natural course,

lasting decline in the total volume
of outstanding bank credits will de-
pend upon the state OF industry and
trade and upon the movement OF

"As the period Of war financing be-
gins to approach its end. the federal
reserve banks will again be in a po-
/ sition to shape their policies without
being under the necessity OF giving
first consideration to the interests or

| Merger talk has been revived, will

of movement to give Washington q
unified system, in the interest of saw
| ing in operating expenses. in routing
of cars and in many other ways.
Ten days ago it looked as If the
merger proposition was to be aban-
doned; today it looks as If the merg-
ling the two systems would be put
up to Congress by leading trade
bodies, by citizens associations and by
the public.
A merge on physical valuations is
believed by some of the prime movers
in the proposition to be out of the
question. Concessions must be made
by the shareholders in the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
but their basis prices would be con-
siderably better than present market
value.
Congress will probably be asked to
enact merger on a basis that would
give both companies a fair return, and
efforts be made to secure unanimous
consent to proposals; failing in which
pressure would be brought on the
non-assenting holders to secure their
consent, rather than purchase at top
senters in the Rock Creek Park-Wash-
ington and Georgetown merger
through purchase by the former OF
the latter company.
Will Probably Cut Ice.
For some years the 27.500 shares Of
the common stock Of the Washington
Railway and Electric has been voted
as unit to retain in Office the di-
rectors and officials OF the corporation,
together with whatever proxies were
sent in by other shareholders.
This stock has recently changed
hands. and at the next election will
probably be voted to secure repre-
sentation on the board, at least, of
some of the new shareholders who
are local bankers and holders of de-
faulted Utilities notes.
Should the group of bankers in
terested as owners of the big block
of common stock decide to make

lowing from common and preferred
stockholders. No charges of misman-
agement or extravaganza have been
laid at the doors of the present Of
ficialS nor other assertion. only that
they have not been successful in max
ing ends meet with scent fares.
No merger is probable under scent
fares-no merge is possible on the
old rate-rather bankruptcy for one
company with gradual disintegration
of the system wrought together in
1892.
1t is a matter of extreme difficulty
to figure on the probability of divi-
dends on the common stock of the
Railway and Electric
Company on any increased rates that
may be granted. They are not in
