Pacific Mail Co. to
Establish New Service
Purchases Ships to Ply Between
Baltimore and San
Francisco

George I. Baldwin. president Of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, an
nounces chat the company will i'm
mediately establish a service between
San Francisco and Baltimore via
the Panama Canal, having purchased
from the United States Shipping Board
the new steel freight steamers Point
Lobos, Point Adams, Point Bonita and
Point Judith.
Beginning in September, sailings will
occur from Baltimore every three weeks,
calling at Havana, Cuba; Puerto Co.
lombia, Colombia; Cristobal and Bal
boa, in the Canal Zone; Corinto Mica
Guatemala; San Pedro, one of the
ports of Los Angeles, and San Fran
cisco, with corresponding return
sailings.
"The SERVICE" said Mr.. Baldwin, ais
designed to utilize the Panama Canal
water route between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, which was abandoned
in 1915 on account of war conditions,
and thus to serve the steadily in
creasing commerce with Cuba and the
countries Of Central America.
when the Panama Canal was
opened the Pacific Mail, being then
controlled by the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company, was prevented by the
canal act from operating its vessels
through the canal. but the passing of
the company in 1915 to its present in
dependent control now permits its YES
sells freely to traverse the canal and
give the Pacific and Atlantic coasts and
their respective Caribbean and Central
American markets the all-water service
under the American flag which. they
have so long Desired
The new service will extend the op-
erations Of the Pacific Mail consider
ably more than half around the globe
for the company now maintains one
line from San Francisco to Hawaii, ia
pan, China and the Philippines, another
from San Francisco direct to Manila
Singapore, Calcutta and Colombo and
third from San Francisco southwark
via Central American ports to Panama
all under the United States flag.

In Wall Street

There was much ado in the stock
market last week, but at the close of
trading Saturday prices were. prac-
tically where they had been week
earlier. Security values sank rapidly
in the first three days, but in the
last three virtually all the losses
were recovered. In the days when
prices we're recovering Wall Street
explained that the market had been
oversold. There was feeling that
too much had been made of the re-
ported sentiment of unionized steel
workers in favor of a nationwide
strike. Those who had sold short
began to cover, and other profession
ais bought stocks for the upturn they
confidently expected. When prices
were at a low level for the present
toward midweek, some of
the bolder spirits among the general
public came into the market in the
role Of bargain hunters. Scale buy
ing was one of the main causes of
the firmness Of the market.
New-York tribune., 1919-08-25

On those days last week when call
money was available at per cent
or less stocks were notoriously weak.
And when security prices were ris-
ing toward the close of the week
money rates were climbing and
reached as high as 8 per cent on
Friday. The anomalous situation
reveals very clearly that money was
not the dominant influence in the
fluctuations of stock quotations dur
ing that period. Money rates had
eased up largely because of the
heavy liquidation of securities that
had gone on for more than a fort
night. The absence of maturities of
Treasury certificates Of indebtedness
and of Liberty Loan instalment pay
ments also helped to make the
streams of money flow freely until
two heavy government Withdrawals
and Withdrawals by out-of- town
banks changed conditions. On Fri
day night the members of the New
York Clearing House Association
had fallen $4,000 below their re-
serve requirement at the Federal
Reserve Bank. 1t was the second
time since the reserve system bad
been established that a deficit was
recorded. Husbanding of funds this
week is expected, as the banks set
out to build up their reserve, and
higher rates in the call money mar
ket are confidently anticipated by
brokers. The condition of the banks
IS in no sense alarming, as nearly
S1OO,000,000 Of cash on hand adds a
colossal bulwark to their reserve
strength, which is not shown in the
legal reserve.

Europe, long accustomed to lower m

The movement of foreign exchange
rates last week paralleled the fiuc-
tuation of stock prices. Early in the
week rates on London, Paris. Rome
and Berlin plunged headlong into
new low records, and it was pre-
dlcted quite generally that the pound
sterling would fall to 81. But tow
ard the middle of the week the down
ward movement was checked and
substantial recoveries were made.
technical market conditions, rather
than any genuine solution of inter
national financial problems, ac-
counted for the Improvement. Amer
lean bankers and traders built up
balances abroad at the bargain
rates, American securities held
abroad were sold in this market. and
reduction of the volume of foreign
bills on the market strengthened the
European exchanges. The july statis-
tics for exports with Europe showed
a large decline since June, and the
imports were much larger than they
had been during the previous month.
Normally the premium of the dollar
would be expected to have that re-
suit, but the July export figures are
somewhat thrown out of alignment
by the frequency of marine strikes
here and abroad last month.

China Wants Japan's

PEKlNG. Aug. % (By The Asso-

ment is anxiously awaiting Japans

The real issue in the speculative
community is whether the stock mar
ket since August / has fully dis
counted the unfavorable delevelop-
ments in the outside world. Those
who take the affirmative view con-
tend that security prices have
touched the bottom, and are now
selling at extremely attractive
terms. And more pessTmistic OBJ
servers, on the other hand, exclaim
that the full significance of the ag-
gressive demands Of organized labor,
of the widespread demand for lower
prices, of the depreciation of foreign
exchange rates and the probable con-
sequent shrinkage of trade with Eu-
rope, and of the deterioration of the
nascent crops, has not yet been
translated into lower security prices.
The professional traders, who have
been dominating the market since
the public was frightened out by
falling prices, leaned toward the
more cheerful side of the debate
toward the close of last week, and
several commission houses that had
been pessimistic for three weeks be-
gan to advise their customers to
begin to accumulate stocks at pres
ent levels.

INDIANAPOLIS. April I'm a
recent address Leslie Willis Sprague,

partment of labor. made a strong
appeal for BODYBUILDING in Indiana

The address was a convincing argu-
ment in favor Of the new own
Your-Home" movement.
The nation is TOO, 900 dwellings
short OF what is needed 10 meet the
requirements Of the people" said
the speaker. The reason for this
shortage is that during the war
building enterprises have recessar-
lily been stopped in order - labor
and materials might be used IN the
necessary war work of the nation.
In the United States there is a
normal building enterprise Of 800
600 dwellings a year. In 1915 there
were erected 2S5.OO0 dwellings in
Guiding apartment houses. while in
1918, including the government S
building enterprises there were
erected only $4,000 dwellings. One
element In the high cost of living
is high rentals which cannot be ex-
pected TO decrease while the nation
is inadequately housed.

The shortage in dwellings is par
alleled by the lack Of office build
