CONGRESS Expected by New York Act Acute International
TRADE CONDITIONS,

NEW YORK, February 21.-Dun's Re-
view of Trade says:
with increasing force, the price
question governs business operations in
various channels. and waiting for fur
ther market defiation has lately become
more noticeable feature of the general
situation. Exceptions to this condition
are not absent, appearing conspicuously
in iron and steel and in certain other
industries, but the main tendency is
clearly toward growing conservatism
and caution among buyers. many of
whom are more disposed to purchase for
immediate and well-defir ed needs than in
anticipation of future requirements
doubts among some sellers regarding
the holding power of prices, moreover,
nave found tangible expression in offer
lngs of goods for forward delivery at
lower quotations than those now cur
rent, and resales at concessions of mcr-
chandise previously taken on specula-
ton have afforded another indication of
the present trend of sentiment"
Bradstreet'S comments, in part, as
follows:
There are many cross currents in
the trade and financial situation, pre-
venting some of the generalization
that were possible one, two or three
weeks ago when the commercial ma
chine was slowing down from the
swift pace of mid-January and some
favorable developments are to be

genuine need in it's particular district.
Each office forms an important con-
tact between the business public and
the Washington headquarters of the
bureau for the dissemination of infor-
nation on foreign trade subjects.
The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce is not a bureau created by
the war emergency, and therefore to
be dismantled as soon as practicable.
Its appropriations were not increased
to take care of war activity, and its
personnel was not added to for the sake
of carrying on wartime work which
is now no longer necessary.
The bureau has had a consistent
growth for more than eight ears. and
there is every bit as much justifica-
tion. Secretary Alexander has assur-
ed members of Congress, for the gov
ernment to aid and encourage by eX-
pert technical advice the American
firms engaged in foreign trade as
there is for the government through
and encourage the farmers of the
country.
Foreign trade is essential to pre-
serve the economic stability OF the
United States Cutting by nearly
half the existing appropriations and
wiping the slate clean on the COM
mercial attache item must mean
simply that the clock has been turn
ed back by more than four years IF
the Department of Commerce is to be
a Department of Commerce in fact as
we'll as in name" Secretary Alexander
insists, cit should be possible to in
crease the essential work of the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic COM
merce rather than to have its activl-
ties Topped off at point where it
will no longer be possible to func-
tion properly.

may be something quite different
must be determined by the commits
sion from an examination of all the
facts. Upon what principle this value
shall be deduced is question OF tre-
mendous importance. involving not
millions but billions of dollars, and
Affecting the finances of all our rail-
roads and their security holders. The
commission has never yet decided
that question. but last January 1t
listened to final arguments and VIII
probably render some decision In the
near future When that decision has
once been reached and announced the
determination of such value can pro.
ceed rapidly.
Fixing Temporary Values.
cit will be seen, therefore. that in
between two or three years the COM
mission should be able to state
tentative value upon all our railroads,
and when this is done the procedure
already adopted and in operation Will
keen that value up to date.
Meantime the valuation work al
ready done will be Of great assist
ance to the commission In nxing tenn
porary values. For example, our work
in New England il nearly completed.
and within two to three months the
commission will have before 1t the
three reports upon all the rallroads
in that section"
In other sections of the country the
work is being finished upon some OF
the more important systems. Inc ne
Rock Island is complete; the SANTA
Fe, the Great Northern, and 'he III
nois Central almost complete.
From the frst the information avail,
able from this valuation work VIII
be of great service to the cominiso
sion in fixing the value OF THESE
lands, and that information Wiii rap

THIS AFTERNOON

| The Community Chautauqua opens
this afternoon at o'clock. in the big
brown tent at the east end of Broad-
way. The attractions for today are
the Boston Light Opera Revue, pre-
sented by group of six young la
dies, who will present a musical pro-
gram both afternoon and evening. To-
nights program. at $50, will include
lecture by Albert Edward Wiggam.
The superintendent announces that
the entertainment will start prompt
ly at the hours announced. and it is
requested that every one be in their

short. Those attending the perform

fird the quality of the entertainment
all that is promised will still have an
opportunity to save money by buying
season ticket for the remaining

to the effect that there has been re-
duction in the cost of the season tick
cts. There is nothing to this. The
season tickets remain $3.50 for adults
