Another Money Scare

The forenoon break which caused
recessions on two or three points in
many of the industrial leaders and
generally unsettled the whole list was
due more or less to q false alarm. The
selling broke out after one of the
news tickers put out a story from
Washington to the effect that the Fed
eral Reserve Board had gone into ses-
sion to discuss the stock market money
situation. The inference was that the
reserve authorities planned to call q
halt in the further expansion of the
loan account, swelled, according to
latest estimates, to $1,750,00O, 900
When the Reserve Board adjourned
without issuing any statement the
Street felt better land proceeded ia
buy back part of the stocks sold in
the morYkng.

Hercules Powder Receipts
Show Enormous Decline

The Hercules Powder Company re-
turned surplus after charges and
Federal taxes of $448,420 for the six
months ended June 80 last, which is
equivalent, after the distribution of
$1S7,25O in preferred dividends, to
SA,21 a share earned on the $7,15O,O0O
common stock, compared with $2,624,-
O49, or S34.08 a share, in the CORE
spending period of 1918.

amounted to 2,173,S31, a falling off
of s7,707,136 from the six months
ended June 80, 1918. Surplus after all
charges and preferred dividends was
S3O1 ,17O, decline of $685. ,629.

Another Waiting Market

1t was again case of waiting in
the stock market. The trading ele-
ment, with it's mind focused on the
Steel statement due after the close,
was content to let prices drift. The
market was somewhat more active
than on Monday, and dealings got
back above the million share level.
But the price trend was most erratic,
stocks displayed pronounced weakness
for time in the forenoon, then re-
covering partially in the afternoon
The closing was highly irregular, but
the undertone was firm.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-30
Estimates Too Low

Out Of fifteen estimates made in one
house in Wall Street yesterday Of
what the Steel statement would show
all fell short Of the mark. The closest
estimate put the net earning after
taxes at B1,7oo,000. The other esti-
mates ranged all the way down to
$24,000,000. All three months of the
quarter ran ahead Of the March net
earnings, whereas it had been sup
posed that April and May would show
progressive decreases in earnings.

June Railroad Earnings

Railroads reporting for June are
showing remarkable increases in net
earnings, compared with last year. The
Improvement is only superficial. Earn
ings in June, 1918. were extremely bad
because of the fact that the roads
deducted five months back wages out
Of the revenue of that month. Com
parison of last months earnings with
a year ago, therefore, does not present
a true picture of the situation.

AMERICANS IN
PARIS PAYING
HIGH PRICES
CheerfuIIy Stand for Exploit
alton in the Gay Capital of
France

Americans are cheerfully paying
the exorbitant prices charged them
for necessities in France, while the
natives pay and groan, declared an
Associated Press correspondent who
has been making an investigation
of French high cost of living. Three
American newspaper men recently
paid 50 for q taxicab ride that the
taximeter showed cost about sew
enty cents. A meal without wine
fot the three hungry scribes cost
$40.
The following figures show the
difference between the prices now
Butter, 81 a pound, against 80
cents before the war; eggs, 81 a
dozen against p cents, and vege-
a pound could be obtained for four
five and six cents previous to. the
war. Cheese has advanced from
forty cents to ninety. coffee from
forty cents to $1.90. Meat has adj
vanced 900 per cent, chickens which
were sixty cents are now 81, and
very slim birds at that.
The cheapest business suit cannot
be obtained under SIS, to which must
be added SO as luxury tax. Silk
stockings sell for So pair and one
must be careful to use the subway
as much as possible in order not
to walk through them on the first
day, especially since ones $14 pair
of shoes absorbs dampness like a
81 sponge. Washing comes high with
soap at thirty cents a cake, and q
bath is a luxury.

ambassador in Washington, has re-

The laboring class at one time
was eating much rice, but lately
that commodity reached figures out
Of proportion to the salaries of the
working man.
A few days ago Food Minister Bo-
ret caused the arrest of spectators
who were offering rice for sale at
forty cents a pound. 1t turned out
that the rice has been obtained from
the food ministry at the legal price
of sixteen cents a pound But IL
mad had a circuitous journey before
reaching the consumer, passing
through six alleged brokers, who, IN
turn levied a percentage on the rice.
They were each fined 200 francs and

pared to bulk, may bear a reason
ably high transportation charge if
more satisfactory facilities are Of
fered.
The back haul or return trip
which Often is made without a
load, constitutes an extravagant
practice which truckmen should
strive to avoid. Attention should
be concentrated on the problem of
arranging for freight so thai there
will be profitable load on all
trucks whenever they are oper-
ated
Keen competition is another
factor in motor-truck service.
Some operators have found it pos
sible to compete successfully with
rail service and yet to charge rates
rather higher than were charged
by the customary carrier. Such
conditions, however, are only pos
sible where the service is develop
ed en- a most extensive scale.
Freight and express schedules in
some districts have been unsatis-
factory to shippers recently, and
by offering more prompt and
speedy service truck owners have
developed very satisfactory
business that ordinarily would be
handled by rail.
Good roads are a prerequisite
to successful motor-truck opera
ton. Very few operators .appre-
ciate the increased expense which
results from travel over poor
roads. The. unfortunate operator
who tries to maintain his services
over highways which are virtually
impossible and unsatisfactory has
found that his daily operation
costs far exceed the average nor
NAL expenses and seriously affect
his profits.
Operating Costs
The man who plans to operate a
motor truck should have good
working knowledge not only of
his engine, but the entire machin-
cry N general. The wages paid
drivers vary in different sections
of the country and for trucks of
different sizes, ranging from $2.75
to $3.50 a day. Depreciation is

practice every possible economy in
order to minimize his expenses
which will reflected in his
charges. Truck routes are only
adapted to sections in which the
roads are good, as poor roads are
an insurmountable obstacle to mo-

operators must be financially re-
