taxes which otherwise they would not have to pay.
 The result is to create an rnder1y- ing body of shares which are slug gtsh and remain solid!y in the hands of holders. This fact alone tends strongly to prevent serious reactions that might otherwise occur
 The RsiIroad Outlook.
 In notifying Congress that the rail- roads would have to be returned to their owners December 31, Director Hines has practically forced the rail road situation into a new phase. There have been rumors for some time past the Goverpment operation might be extended for a few months in order to afford time for Congress to legisiate. By informing Congress that the roads will be returned Mir. Hines has made necessary prompt ac- tion regarding the status of the lines, and in so doing has practically defer red the discussion of the general rail road question until q late date. l. would seem that Congress would have to lay aside the Cummins bill for the time being and enact some temporary le5ilsation calculated to provide for immediate necessities. Just hog this will affect the prices of railroad shares remains to be seen, but its first influence has been favorable rather than otherwise.
 The railroad shares, as is well known. have not participated tn the great advance of prices on lle E.1- change. Favorable legislation now may open the way to moderate ad- vance in values, while unsa tisfact tOI'y Legislation will hurt them, although of course not so seriously as 1t would had they had an anticipatory rise of prices. It will be some time, un- doubtedly, before the railroad ques- tion as g. whole is satisfactorily clear ed up and meanwhile more or less uncertainty must exist.
 Prospects and Precautions.
 While on the whole the weeks ex- periences have tended decidedly to reassure those who had been fearful concerning the future Of conditions they have by no means given ground for over-optinlisnl. They have, on the other hand, emphasized the neces- sity of moderation and avoidance of excess in speculati tive transa actions and have pointed clearly to the need of self-control and foresight in the deal ings Of the coming months. It may be possible to get through the pres ent critical situation without any serious reaction, but this favorable outcome will be attained only through the use of conservatism and good founded and overhasty "booming'' of values in all parts of the country and in all classes of transactions

'. !. vvAIS0i'S WEEKLY LETTER

Consideration of the money situa- tion suggests that it is a time for those actively interested in the stock market to conserve resources. High priced fndustriaIs have been boomed without regard to the supply of loan able funds. The higher they go the more money it takes to finance their purchase. Anybody who will take the trouble to analyze the stock mar ket will find that ten to fifteen stocks comprise thfee-foUrtlls of the trading In the railroad list you will ind little doing-sonetinne there IS not d Quo- tatlon for leading rails. A battle cannot be carried on without powd4 and you cannot boost quotations of high priced indlstriaIs without money This does not mean that in some of them there is not the value represented by their quotations; but it is a rather inopportune tinla to ex- pect an extended bull market
 The acquisition Of Montgomery Ward & Go. by the United Retail Stores Co, is a. very valuable one for the latter. It looks to us as though there were great possibilities connect ed win the tobacco stocks. With speculative excess removed from the oil lisl food stocks and equipments good buying opportunities should be presented in these shares during mar ket setbacks.
 In an interesting circular just is- sued, AIessrs. c. I. Hudson & Co., Toint out that the country cannot be prosperous unless the railroads are allowed to prosper. A study 0f the history of the United States for a period of years will inevitably lead to the same conclusion. Emphasis is laid upon the necessity for cOnstruc- tive legislation in this connection ''The railroads must have increa sed rates to meet the greatly increased cost of operation says this firm. MT. Hines seems bent on having the rail roads returned January 1, 1920. If this is to be done, the Governm ent should not only properly protect them, but Iiberally 50, for they are the great arteries of the Government and the people.
 Attention is directed to the prob ability that If 6 receiver is appointed on January ] for the Interborough Rapid Transit Co.,, Manhattan Ky. would be returned to its owners. Under normal conditions Manhattan earned an average of nearly 10 per cent. yearly on it's capital stock. It is felt that the worst has been dis counted by Manhattan Ky. stock. The New York Stock Exchange seats have advanced to a new high record price of S110, 900.

from that of the employer. This in it. self is a notable developments and one which has naturally ecouraged the investor both large and small
 The Money Situation.
 Outstanding in its influence upon the level of securities values has been the money situation. During the lat ter part of October call rates were very variable and funds were in rela- lively short supply. There was a gen eraI expectation of some action on the part of the Federal Reserve Board, which became actual on Mon day, November 3, when a new dis count rate policy was announced by the Federal Reserve system. Coincr- dent with the announcement of the new rates was a statement made by the Federal Reserve Board with ref erence to the necessity of eliminating g excessive speculation.
 This statement did not refer eE- clusiveIy to securities Speculation but was entirely general ss.nd was intended to correct the growing tendency to- ward imitation of values of all kin ds both in lands, commodities and prop critics of every description. The first effect of the statement probably was to aggravate call money rates and they touched 20 per cent on Noven- Der $, although only for a short time. AS has been pointed out in this cir cIIIar on former occasions, it is to be expected that call money rates will be firm to high for some time and the action now announced by the Federal Reserve system decidedly strengthens this prediction.
 New factors may come in to change
 
 the general underlying outlook cannot be mistaken. Undoubtedly, holdings inadequiately supported should be called in.
 Market Developments.
 Market values have continued high since last week, and although shrink age occurred immediately after the development of the money situation, already sketched, it was not serious. On several days the operations in cer- tain groups of shares have been car r1ed so far as to create an obviously artificial situation. Indeed, 1t can be said of many groups of shares that their quotations are now in excess of their investment values. Their tn- comes are not such as to pay a re- turin upon their price and there are many reasons for suppostng their ex- 1Sllng value may not De generally au- vanced above present figures. Further operations in many stocks should therefore be engaged in with caution as the general tendency of money in the near future may cause a decnn. in the quoted, levels of many shares. Present methods of taxation are tend ing strongly to reductions in net earnings. On the other hand it should be always borne in mind that the present tax conditions create an arti- ficiaI situation by rendering many holders unwilling to sell and take profits, inasmuch as by so doing they subject themselves to excess profits

HENRY CLEWS'
 WEEKLY LETTER

While the outstanding events of the past week have been in many re- spects conflicting and uncertain they have, on the whole, been in the di- rection of renewed soundness and safety and have tended to support conservative investment. There has been a, renewal of tha prospect that action on the Peace Treaty would be obtained at some reasonable date in the near future, puhlic opinion hav- ing obviously turned away from those who have shown a disposition to de- fer action for purely factional reasons. It must be admitted that au- thentic reports concerning the foreign
 conomiC situation are not reassurins 2 and that only slow progress is being made toward improvement. The pros pect of an early establishment Of some kind of effective machinery for the control of the reconstruction pro- cess and the probability that the United States will be represented by such bodies as may be created for that purpose, however, tends to diminish the disappointment that would otherwise be felt at the indus trial and financial demoraltzation of Europe.
 Domestic Outlook.
 Al home the outlook for restoration of stable and sound conditions is still uncertain. The threatened mine strike, which some had believed would be called off, because of its disastrous possibilities and because ot the evident reaction in public opinion was put into operation on Novenbe1 1 and has undoubtedly affected a large number of miners Exactly how many can be kept at work is still uncertain at this writing, while the promises of a. resort to arbitration have not as yet materialized. Never theIess, the attitude of public opinion on this whole question has been en- ouraging-progress so as time has gone on.
 The satisfac ction felt by the com munity at the growth of 8 disposition to view the strike problem from a sane point of view has been confirmed by the election day outcome when a distinct victory was scored in favor of orderly processes of discussion There is nothing in all this to encour- age the belief that reaction has set in or that capitalistic ideas have gained an undue and temporary vic tory.
 The lesson of the strike situation and of the outcome at the polls, sc far as f can be read, is that the pub lie favors a steady and progressive handling of labor questions and that it regards the necessity for justice and soberness as being quite as binding from the standpoint of the 1aborer as
