The administration is determined
Ito play fair with the farmers, in spite
of tremendous pressure brought tc
bear upon it to rescind it's guarantee
of $2.26 per bushel for wheat The adj
ministration can do nothing less than
make good its guarantee. 1t promised
the farmers, when the war was at it's
height and the outlook was gloomy
and the whole world was faced with a
food shortage, that it would pay this
price for wheat and asked the farm
ers to plant record acreage and
produce record crop. The farmers
have done their part They are en-
titled to the price guaranteed by the
government They have had to pay
extortionate prices for farm mach
inery, supplies of every kind and
labor and they will not make profit
out OF proportion u luGII 0ApcuS0S,
if they get good crop. Where the
crop is short, as it is in many places,
they will actually lose money at even
the high prices guaranteed for wheat.
The farmers are entitled to every cent
of the guarantee and it would be an
outrage to not give it to them.

is THIS A REVOLUTION?

The two millions members of the IA
unions of railroad laborers who are
threatening the people of the United
States with serious loss, if not abso-
lutte disaster, by demanding an in
crease in wages in addition to the 48
per cent increase already granted,
should remember that we have FOUR
MILLION Americans who fought for
$50 per month to save the United
States from oppression from a for
eign foe and will, if need be, fight to
save this country from oppression and
ruin from foe within.
The demand of the railroad en-
ployes that the United States govern
ment take charge of the railroads
permanently and operate them in con-
junction with the members of the va
riDus railroad unions, is. absurd. 1t
is anarchistic, bolshevic and commur-
istic and the American people will not
stand for it. We have had about
enough of government control and
boosting of wages and freight rates
and passenger rates and bankruptcy
for the railroads and assessments on
the consumers to make up the losses.

side by the profiteers in food stuffs,

Cotton

Heavy liquidation caused sharp
break in the cotton market yesterday
Selling was prompted largely by the
more favorable weather in the South
and new crop positions were relatively
weak with October selling off to 1896
or III points net lowe compared with
a break of 80 points i'll the case of MAY
delivery. The close was at a net de-
cline of 80 to 118 points on new and #
SO to 1875 points on old style positions.
Selling was general in character in
the speculative market, but there was
no great pressure of spot offerings.
The Improvement reported in the goods
market did not appear to be bringing
u. any better trade demand for the raw
material, and the market. derived most
of its support from coverings by shorts
to secure profits.
On the late trading the market
reached the lowest prices touched since
the break which followed the inaugu-
ration Of the new style contract.
The Wall Street selling was esti-
mated at between $4,000 and $4,000
bales, and v as quite generally believed
to represent liquidation of long con-
tracts accumulated on recent optimis-
tic views of early peace prospects and
the reopening of Central European
markets
The long range forecast for week
of favorable weather in the South
strengthened the disposition to liqui-
date long contracts and there were
also reports of an advancing tendency
in ocean freight rates.
Exports for the day were 5000 bales
making 3,329, ,I2S so far this season.
Southern spot markets were unchanged
to 100 points lower with the South
western markets relativcl.. easy.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and S5 points lower at 27.65c for

Owing to the rcccivcrship for the

much discussion has arisen over
whether it's proprietary property, the

will also pass to the jurisdiction Of the
courts. Bankers who arc m&king an
investigation of the Intcrborough's af-
fairs profess to see no imminent dan
ger of a reccivership for the operating
company. although they state that un-
less higher fares are allowed bank
ruptcy proceedings will ultimately fol-

seems that the subway and elevated

New-York tribune., 1919-03-25
Finance : Economics

at high costs have to compete with
Old buildings erected at low costs
and as the annual production of
buildings bears a very low ratio to
the total amount of buildings at
any time existing, the old low-cost
buildings immensely exceed the
new. New buildings, therefore, can
be profitable only when the failure
to build for some time has made
the scarcity of buildings so great
that prices and rents are bid up
to the point where it will be prof
liable to undertake new buildings
at the higher costs. 1t is appar-
emily the contention of the build
ers that though the prices and rents
of old buildings have been bid up in
the last few years they have not
yet gone high enough to make new
undertakings tempting.
