Deficit for Frisco
Loss Sustained Despite Greatly
Enlarged Revenues

Though showing the record operat-
ing revenue of S72,475,313, the St..
Louis and San Francisco Railroad
Company, after all expenses, interest,
equipment charges, taxes, etc. reports
deficit of $2,l48,02O for tho year
ended December 81, 1918. TIL" main
reason for this loss was attributed to
the enormous increase in operating ex-
pcnses Of S16,196, 491. Tax payments
aggregated $2,812,O70, compared with
S2,757,344 for the preceding year. Sur
plus after miscellaneous charges of
S12o.586 was equivalent to s167 a
share earned on the 100000 pre-
fcrred stock. In 1917 the company
disclosed a S2,S47,7S8 surplus, which
after allowing for per cent dividend
requirements on the preferred stock,
was equal to s4.75 share.
Since December 81, 1917, the COM
pany has been in negotiation with the
railroad administration for con-
tract covering the compensation to be
paid the company, but to date no
agreement has been reached. The In
terstate Commerce Commission has
tentatively certified that the average
annual railway operating income of
the company. including subsidiaries
amounts to Sl3,316,571.

The Markets
The Stock List

1t is doubtful whether the stock mar
ket advance has been more spectacular
on any previous day. even in the pres
ent market as it was yesterday. The
Tribune's average price of thirty indus
trial stocks achieved another new high
record for all time, closing at 108.60,
IAN advance of 20 points from the clos
ing figure of February 8. Some of the
individual gains were startling. Steel
common. with its dividend off sold at
110h, the highest price of the year.
American Bosch Magnetic gained a
points; Baldwin Locomotive, 2as; Beth
lehem Steel 3d." d; Butte and Superior,
As; Central Leather, 6; Chandler

we'll Motors common and second nre
ferred, points each; Novo Scotia Stel,
16t2 points; American Woolen, 1874
points; Mexican Petroleum., 16 points,
reaching the new high record of 204;
Stromberg Carburetor, 7&4 points, and
Studebaker, 16fs points to a price Of
124%. There was no explanation for
the rise other than that this is q bull
market, that no bad news had occurred
over the holiday period. that a heavy
short interest that had piled up on
Thursday in the premonition of dis
mat from the "Dubiic" throughout the
country had come an accumulation of
buying orders.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-03
Reasons Tor the Rate

Banking institutions asked about the
rate did not regard it as very i'm
portant in itself. They thought it
merely a furry due more or less tc
chance, and some expressed the opin-
ion that loans would probably rule to-
day at 6 per cent again. There was
widespread opinion in some quarters
that the high rate reflected another
instalment on the Victory notes due
to-day. This is erroneous. The next
payment on the Victory notes of 10
per cent is not due until July Is. The
only significance Of June 3 in the Vic
cory Loan merely is that it is the first
day specified for the making public
of allotments on subscriptions, but
these already are known in general.
Some folk affected TO see a connection
between the call rate and the warning
published by the National City Bank
in its monthly circular appearing yes
terday that speculation should be kept
in check, and that "the bankers of the
country should recognize that the
present state of credit expansion is
abnormal and not to be accepted as
permanent"

Money at loPer
Cent at Close of
Big Stock Market
Average Price of Industrial
Shares Rises 2.4O Points
to Highest Level Ever
Reached

Speculative energy, pent-up by the
three-day holiday on the Stock Ex-
change, burst forth yesterday in vio-
lently active and rising market in
which the industrial stocks scared in
spectacular fashion, many of the spe-
cial issues jumping 10 to 1G points on
a wild wave Of buying.
The average price OF thirty repre-
sentative industrial stocks went to
an advance of 2.40 points from the clos
ing average of last Thursday which
was the previous top
With the broadening of the specula-
tion in industrial stocks came a sharp
tightening of money rates. Stock Ex-
change houses which tried to negotiate
call loans with the banks at the close
OF the day found a rate Of 10 per Gems.
That represented an advance of 3h Pc
cent from the rate that had prevailed d
for many weeks, and was the highest
rate for all money in more than two
years. About million dollars loaned
on the exchange at the 10 per cen.
rate, the bulk of the days business in
call money having been arranged at 6 y
per cent.
In the stock market automobile
stocks were whirled upward fantasti-
cally. Studebaker Corporation stock
made a perpendicular rise of 165b
points to 124A, closing within a frac-
tion of the top, while General Motors
scared I points to 22O and Chandler
Motors 8.
Mexican Petroleum commcn sprang
into the limclight in the oil depart
ment when under active buying in ran
forward IS points to 2O4, closing at
90 a high record
Steel stocks we're notably strong.
Crucible Steel common was promi-
nent feautrc with an advance Of 11A
points to 951s. United States Steel
common closed rs points up It 1O9a4
and Bethlehem Steel "B' gained 40.
American Woolen common, after a
continuous advance during the pas
fortnight, added 13a4 points at Ill.
The market developed enormous pro-
portions in the closing hour when buy
ing orders in the motor and stec.
groups appeared in heavy volume In
the rush some stocks like Crucible
Steel common jumped point between
sales. Total transactions were in OK
cess of 100000 shares.
The huge dealings in the stock ma,-
ket during the month of May swelled
the state treasury by $l,111,72l, which
represented the income from the oper-
alton of the stock transfer tax. This is
the largest amount netted for a single
month since the tax became operative
in 1905 The May receipts bring the
total from this source for eleven
months of the current fiscal year to
$5,910,462.

fOnc may doubt the sincerity of this
Obvious bit of propaganda, but it is
interesting as an example of the uiews
now being given public expression IN
German fncnciol circles.-Finoncia
Editor.)
BERLIN, May 2S (via Paris. May S0).
Financial circles in Germany are
hoping that the German counter pro
posals made to the peace conference at
Versailles will be accepted by the
Entente in order that Germany may
have at least fighting chance" said
Henry Nathan, president of the board
of directors of the Drcsdner Bank, this
morning. The peace terms as formu-.
lated by the Allies mean simply, for
Germany, utter ruin, nothing less" he
went on, while the acceptance of the
counter proposals by the Entente
would prove disposition to permit
the German people to live. On the
other hand, the rejection of those pro-
posals would prove determination on
the part Of the Allies generally, and
France especially. to destroy the Ger
man people by starvation and poverty
and would mean the removal of all
prizes for which men work
eff Germany is forced to sign the
peace terms proposed by the Entente
there will be no American or other
foreign capital invested in Germany.
Capital demands reasonable security
and the prospect of q fair return on
money invested. Under the conditions
proposed in the Lntente peace terms
foreign capital invested in Germany
can expect no security and can look
for no profits.
"ln the Entente demands we are al
lowed an army of only 100000 men
In our counter proposals we accept
the proposal, even though we know that
an army Of 100000 is entirely INSULT
cient to preserve order and keep down
the spread of Bolshevism which is nov
growing undisturbed. The question
is one that concerns the Allies as wei
as Germany To get money out Of
Germany there must be peace ane
order in Germany. For the sake O.
the gold they expect to receive from
Germany the Allies should permit u.
to keep a military force sufficient tt
keep down Bolshevism. Denied propel
police protection foreign capital canno
come into Germany"
Herr Nathan was extremely dubious
as to the German counter proposals
being accepted by the Allies. "Ye
our counter propositions do not asl
much,' he said, "only the smallest mar
gin for opportunity possible to enabl
the German people to live and to pa,
the obligations exacted by the Allies
If forced to accept the peace term
as they now stand Germany will b
absolutely unable to pay such cxtor
tionate demands under the condition
created by the treaty.
"Ou- coal and iron mines in the Saa
district and in Upper Silesia are gone
the agricultural products of East Prus
sia are gone; there is no raw materia
! no fuel for factories; our trade ship
