Men tire Of talking industrial
conditions IN such a market, and
fall back at last upon the common
things. They speak of the short in
terest, the technical position" who
the buyers and sellers are, and the
message of the tape. They cease to
go outside the market for indica-
tions; they look within. The rise
yesterday morning was brought
about largely by the buying of
chronic traders of stocks they had
formerly borrowed to sell. The
public and the bargain hunters will
buy when the market is falling,
with orders on "scale down." but
when the market rises they let it
alone, and when the short sellers
have bought back their stocks the
upward movement ceases and trad
ing comes to a standstill. Commis-
sion houses glory in the evidence
that the short interest is becoming
too large. The stocks you can bor-
row are becoming scarcer. The
very inactivity Of the market is
pointed to as an indication that
everybody who has intended to go
short is now short of so much that
he cannot attack the market if he
would. He can only wait until the
real holders Of stocks get frightened
enough to sell them, and if the real
holders decide chat stock prices now
contain the entire visible supply of
calamity the short seller Will have
to buy back and advance prices
upon himself.

by the sale of forty engines to Ar

"'rhe London, Statist' bemoans the
fact that British banks have hitherto
not issued reports such as the monthly
letter of the National City Bank of
New YorA, periodical chat has
ranked high in the public estimation, j"
and more recently the reports of the
Guaranty Trust Company and various
banks of New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia. "The Statist" is gratifed by
the indications of awakening" on the
part OF British banks in this respect,
but points out the "deplorable lack in
many cases of a thoroughly we'll
equipped department of economic and
financial information such as is pos
sessed, for instance, by the National
City Bank" The paper thinks the
establishment of such a department by
the British joint stock banks would
prove exceedingly helpful in the future,
when British banks will enter the in
ternational field and face "unprece-
dented competition from non British
banks that have collected a mass of

Great Britain's capacity at the
beginning Of the war was about
$500 engines a year. When war
broke out the shops were taken
over by the British government,
turned to munitions, ordered to
build no new locomotives and per
nitted only to keep old ones in re-
pair. The condition of equipment
in the British Empire must now be
such as to keep English facilities
busy for long time, leaving other
markets to America. Germany's
pre-war production was 4,SOO en-
gines year, but it is unlikely that
she will get much "outside" bust
ness, and her home needs must be
pressing. France before the war
was always short of locomotives,
and five of her six shops were in
territory ravaged by the Germans.
Before French works can be recon-
structed France may be forced to
buy enormous numbers Of locomo-
tives in some other market. Bel
gium had eight locomotive works {:
they supplied her own needs and
left surplus for neighbors; but
her factories have been razed and
machinery carried off to Germany.

What do the representatives Of
the American Locomotive Company
expect to find when they go to Eu-
rope to make survey of foreign
motive power demand? Here are
some of the facts and inferences col
lected by a prominent broker many
months before the armistice was
signed, which since then have been
given little attention. The capacity
of Americas only two big locoro
tive building concerns, he Baldwin
and the American, was between
$500 and 5000 engines. Add 1000
locomotives year for plant ex-
tensions and increased efficiency.
Domestic demand a year ago con-
sumed the entire production Of the
country. For four years railroad
equipment the world over has been
deteriorating. America and Great
Britain are probably the only two
countries in position to supply
their own needs and to take loco
nAotive contracts from the rest of
the world.
