has tended not less to give rise to ex-
pressions of irritation abroad, which the
press on both sides of the Atlantic have
not failed daily to record. Weakness In
the leading exchanges, although accen-
tuated by such collateral developments,
must still be ascribed to the excessive
volume of exports from this country.
In December exports were $31 ,OOO, ,OOo
above the monthly average in 1919 and
FOR the year S2,84O, ,273, ,332 in excess
of 1917 and even more than in 1918.
Cotton was the biggest item in the
increase. Outgoing shipments of that
staple were 2S8. 1856 bales more last
month than in December, 1918, and
2.445, 900 bales more in 1919 than in
1913. In dollars this movement =epre-
sented gain of $40, 400 900 for the
month and S463 .24S, ,462 for the year:
Mineral oils and corn also disclosed
substantial increases. Wheat shipments
fell off for the month, but gained
largely for the year The same was
for both periods. but oats fell off. In
above the monthly average, but the
years increase in that quarter was
SS73. 1913. .610 against an increase on the
export side of S1.772, ,76O,010.
Future OF Exchanges
As to the future Of the exchanges,
views naturally vary. Paul NJ. War
burg recently expressed the opinion that
quite q number Of countries will never
regain their previous exchange levels.
He believes that the stabilization of the
exchanges can be effected on the exist
ing gold supply only when government
credits and commercial conditions are
stabilized, and adds:
"Where gold payments have been
suspended and foreign exchanges have
become demoralized the restraining in
tluence once yielded by gold must be
exercised at this stage by rigid budgets
When by curtailing expenditure and by
increasing current revenues the issue OF
government loans to cover current de-
ficiencies has come to stop, when
the floating supply of undigested gov
ernment securities has gradually been
absorbed. the time will again be ripe
for an effective control of money mar
kets by the central banks.
y "And when central bank rates are
thus once more effective and the for
eign credit of country has been re.
stored the moment will be at hand
when the resumption of gold payments
may be considered and with that thu
sterilization Of foreign exchanges
Whenever that point is reached coun
try may be deemed to have completed
its economic convalescence. The mrs
step in this direction must be the es
tablishment of honestly balanced budg
cts"

Railroads About ConvaIescent

The losses which the government has
sustained in the two years of operation
have left the roads in the same case as
patient about to leave his bed, little
shaky STILL but eager to be up and do
ing for himself. And the friends of
the patient are not less eager to see how
he will get on since he cannot stay in
bed forever.
Meanwhile transactions in railroad
securities are as near as possible to a
standstill. They are not influenced ma
terially by the rise and fall of hopes
concerning the sort of legislation which
will issue from the conference between
the House and Senate. That is i'm
portant, of course. but still more i'm
portant and telling will be the amount
of vitality which they shall display in
the six months. say, after the lines have
been left to themselves. They have
been under government control for two
years or so. Earnings reports in that
period have not been especially illumi-
mating. and the investment and specu-
lative public has. in large measure, lost
track of their real condition. This can
be made definitely known, for better or
for worse, only after the companies can
report on their own account.
Against the short time remaining
to March l, efforts to adjust compensa
ton contracts have been actively
pushed. The counsel of the railroad
administration reported to the director
general that contracts had been signed
with 232 roads up to the first of the
year involving II per cent of the an
nual rental paid by the government. In
addition. it was stated. 133 co operative
contracts had been executed between
the railroad administration and smaller
lines, mainly short lines. Unsettled
claims on hand were reduced nearly
half between April and November last
year.
The treaty squabble seems as far
from settlement as ever, circumstance
which has contributed to the with
drawal of the public from the stock
ing among the foreign exchanges. 1t
