new YORK STOCKS
SHOW F|RMER TONE

NEW YORK, August 23.-Despite
considerable listlessness on the stock
exchange and continued indifference
OF the outside public. prices advanced
today. Beginning with the motor
shares. the traders bid up the prices
two or three points in a number of
cases. probably on the strength of
yesterdays numerous and favorable
estimates, official and unofficial, of
what the motor companies would earn
this year.
Following that the railroad shares
were taken up and advanced a point
or so. The general list was firm. with
moderate gains in various issues.
Sterling exchange made further
sharp recovery, touching 4.21k,
against 4.19 at the best yesterday
and 4.26A last Saturday. Rates also
moved in favor of Paris and Rome.
Equipments. shippings. oils and to-
baccos had initial advances of 1 to 2
points.

demand and food shares were fea-

New York. say:
Financial developments will over
shadow political for the next few
weeks. Much depends upon the for
eign exchange situation. The de-
cline in exchange rates Is easily the
most vital problem concerning the
country today, transcending in Inn
mediate Importance the food investi-
cation, the railroad situation. or the
league of nations.
The exchange situation presents an
exigency which demands a speedy
solution. The best brains in Amer
lean and foreign banking circles are
busily engaged in evolving a plan
which, it is expected, will meet the
difficulties as promptly as is con-
sistent with the seriousness Of the
task confronting them.
1t is better to have a sound plan
than a hastily formed one. It il no
mean task to determine to what ex-
tent European purchases should be
by credits and to arrange
the best plan for extending these
credits full enough to offset trade
balances. The process Of correction
must recognize the point at which the
exchange rate decline reflects the de-
probation In European currency.
There must be no discount on the
American dollar.

Mr. Frame says, in part:
THE high cost of living seems to

Going Back to Roman History
From the pages of The Common
People of Ancient Rome by Frank F.
Abbott, we quote briefly from EN-
peror Diocletian's remarkable and
crude edicts: For if the raging ava
rice which, without regard
for mankind, increases and develops
by leans and bounds. inasmuch as
there is only seen a mad desire, WIN
out control, to pay no heed TO the
needs of the many, 1t seems
good to us, who are the fathers OF
the people, that justice intervene 10
settle matters impartiaily-
Who is of so hardened heart and
10 untouched by a feeling for hu-
manity that he can be unaware
that in the sale of wares which are
exchanged in the market an
exorbitant tendency in prices has
spread to such an extent that the
unbridled desire of plundering is held
in check neither by abundance nor
by seasons of plenty
1.-The edict further says: 1T is our
pleasure. therefore, that those prices
which the subjoined written summary
specifies he held in observance
throughout all our domain, that all
may know that license to go above
the same has been cut of.
It is our pleasure that IL any man
shall have boldly come into conflict
with this formal statute he shall put
his life in peril Buyers and holders
of commodities were also subject to
the same penalties.

BIG MOTOR PROFITS

1t was the unanimous sentiment OF
the committee appointed by NJ. D.
Rosenberg, president of the District
Bankers Association. to consider the
matter of inviting the American
Bankers Association to hold it's an
nual convention in 1920 in this city
that the invitation should be ex-
tended.
1t is understood that the associa
ton desires to come here. The COM
mittee will therefore post itself on
the probable expense of the conven-
ton and then report to the full meet
ing of the association.
There seems no doubt whatever but
what the convention will come to
Washington. bringing practically
about 5000 people here for the large
part of a week.
Investment Opportunity.
The weakness in francs offers OPP
portunity for investors or for business
men in ordering from France. The
usual rate of exchange, francs for
for a franc, but quotations now
necessitate the basis of 12h cents for
the franc or SIS francs on the dol
lar.
Based on 1000 francs at present
rates Of exchange, $125 will pay the
bill instead of s193, the normal ex-
change rate cost.
The heavy depreciation makes
French securities available for invest
ment and is also a great aid to the
purchase of manufactures from that
nation.
Some day the franc will go back to
its normal value and the profit to be
made through holding investments
and even francs offers attractive op-
portunities.
Studebaker Prosperous.
The Studebaker Corporation is said
to be enjoying a very prosperous
year.
Profits for the first six months of
1919, after tax deduction, exceed 10
per cent on the common stock. Net
profits for the first six months Of the
year were 100 per cent in excess of
those of the same period in 1918.
Increased prices prevail, and with
factory capacity production of 1900
cars a month the earnings are mount
ing materially above the showing for
the first half of the year. The finan-
cial position of the company is said
to be very strong.

PREM|ER'S TALK
NOT SATISFYING
London DispIeased at Lloyd
Georges Failure to Suggest
Curb on Labor.
From the New York Evening" Posts
Financial Bureau.

From the New York Evening" Posts
Financial Bureau.
LONDON, August 23.-There is gen.
eral disappointment in the city over
Lloyd Georges speech. because it
chiefly constitutes a tardy recognition
of situation and of problems al
ready realized by every business man,
while it indicates the lack Of d policy
to meet the difficulties desired.
Thus we have the chancellor OF the ex-
cheauef talking recently about the pos
sibility of national bankruptcy and now
strain. But neither deals practically
with the two main cases of the trou-
BILE. namely the national extravagence
and pandering to the unsound de-
mands of labor.
The only hint by Lloyd George of
reduction in national expenditure re-
latee to ornaments. while talk of the
necessity for labor to increase its out
put is mere lip service to the economic
necessities, since government doles to
the unemployed continue and the
yielding the miners demands means
coal at prices which will absolutely
sap the countrys productive energies.
Removes Restrictions.
Nevertheless, from one standpoint
the premier's speech will repay ex-
animation, for it partly explains the
removal of numerous wartime re-
strictions, including that prohibiting
exports of capital. Evidently, the
government at last perceives the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation, but because
it is afraid to handle the labor situa-
ton firmly it has apparently con-
cluded that by removal OF restrictions
the adverse exchange conditions will
be more clearly revealed and the ma
tion aroused to the necessity for econ
omy and larger production.
This would be sound doctrine IL the
ministers would face labor courage
ously. But since they will not. it APP
parently constitutes a somewhat risky
policy.
It is not believed that the present de-
cline in exchange will have a great
imm ediate effect on your exports or
our imports, though 1t may ultimately
divert in part Europe's buying from
you. Most quarters do not anticipate
an early trade reaction in America.

BRITISH VICTORY LOAN
CALLED DISAPPOINTING
Leading London Banker Comments
on Financial Problems-Defa-
ton Is Necessary.

A leading English banker, commenting
on the British financial situation. said:
1--WE are now in position to know
the result Of our victory loan, and
It can hardly be considered as other
than disappointing. The amount OF
actual new money subscribed Is
roughly $40 millions pounds sterl-
ing, and the amount Of conversions
1853 millions, making total or ivy
millions. The stimulus which existed
in 1917. when we were IN the LnicR
was SO precarious. has not obtained
now. and this, coupled with the wide
spread feeling OF resentment against
government waste, Ia responsible 10
some extent for the total not being
ness claims have trenched upon the
resources available, and this fact
makes the result no inconsiderable
one.
THE conversions are most dfsap-
pointing. and this is not SURPRISING
ment inherent in the terms OF the
loan.
"Seeing that our deficit in revenue
this year is $50 millions and our float
ing debt we'll over 1000 millions,
this $40 millions of new money only
ameliorates the position and does not
give US the clean slate SO urgently
needed. There is little doubt that
there must be another government loan
in the not far distant future.
IA big block OF our floating debt
will be lifted from the market, but
the government has already resumed
the issue of treasury bills to assist
the position. There is one rather sug-
gestive alteration in the rate for
six-month bills from go to ~, and
THE NAV mean that the ljn1fta-
ton on the rate for bank deposits to
go may shortly be removed and COM
petition allowed full play.
Defation Great Problem.
"Dehation is still the great prob
lem for us, and the result of the loan
will, I think, tend to support the
contentious of those who clamor for
a capital levy; indeed, one of our
most respectable financial papers is
urging the point. Whether we shall
have excessively abundant money or
not, depends upon the currency policy
of the government II we decide to
cancel the prohibition, on the export
of gold, a stringency in the autumn
il probable, but / myself fancy that
prohibition will be maintained.
"The market since last wrote
has been flooded with new issues of
every variety, and underwriters have
been having a busy. II anxious, time.
The public is now rather satiated
and recent issues have not met with
the success that obtained a month
ago, the underwriters have been left
with blocks of shares on their hands,
press the markets. The pace has
been altogether too hot and there
will now be halt, especially with
the approach of the holiday month";"
