DD|GEST OF FINANCIAL
SITUATION FOR 60 DAYS
By Hamilton Institute.

By Hamilton Institute.
The next two months will be the
crucial pAxiod during the biggest
financial crisis we have had since
1907. The present crisis is somewhat
broader. because in 1907 England and
France were financially strong.
whereas in 1920 the Bank. Of England
Is acutely overextended and financial
recovery in France will be q matter
of years.
Taking the country as a whole. it
would seem that the situation is well
in hand. The federal reserve ratio
is above 43 per cent and can decline
to SO per cent before the legal min
imum Is reached.
After that. reserve requirements can
be suspended for a month or two II
the credit needs Of the .crop-moving
season justify such action.
In view of the fact that the legal
minimum for the whole country would
not be reached without an increase of
oyer $500. 100000 in the loans of the
reserve banks. 1t would seem that the
autumn requirements can be met
without suspending legal reserve re-
Quirements. Moreover, the reduction
in commodity prices is bound, to re-
'lieve the strain on credit. .
Cotton Cfep Value Drops.
With cotton at 50 cents pound in
stead Of 40 cents a pound. the total
value OF the crop win be reduced
about $500. .0oo; 1000. and II we compare
in the textile industries with condi-
tions prevailing a year ago, it is obvi-
Gus that commercial credit require
ments will be less.
In New York conditions contfue
bad. The clearing house banks nave
in. deposits since the 1st Of June
without a corresponding reduction in
loans. Loans are now rs per cent OF
deposits. The strain on the clearing
house banks forces them to seek as
sistance from the New York Reserve
Bank. and the latter institution finds
its reserves close to the legal mini
mum.
i To some extent the pressure on New
York arises from the fact that it has
made loans to the interior.

east.
Sterling and FefeiGn Payments
| The decline in sterling exchange
from 81 to 1885 per pound during
! recent months has been. partly due to
the necessity of paying for large food
purchases in America, but the most
important contributing cause pres
change by the English government in
anticipation of paying on the Anglo
French loan of $5o0.000.0oo on Oc-
tobef Is. France owes half of the
amount and expects to pay Of 800
! 100000 with gold shipments or pur-
chase Of exchange, the remaining
$3.50. 100000 to be refunded by fresh
borrowing in America.
This financing will be favored by
! the fact that sentiment in Wall street
Is becoming more optimistic on ac-
count Of the favorable turn Of affairs
in Poland and the increase in rail-
way bond prices since the freight
rate decision.

FEAR RATE RAISE MAY

From Danyl Financial America.

From DAILY Financial America.
There is some fear expressed that
tho increased railroad freight rates
will be added to the price Of com
modities along with few other in
creases designed to add to profits. An
official Of the Department Of Justice
is quoted as saying that there Is SUI
ficient law to deal with any exces
Why wait to apply the law for any
anticipated offenses when others have
talready occurred.
Walker D. Hines, former director
general Of railroads. points to the
additions to price Of coal made last
April. At that. time the miners re-
ceived a wage increase of 40 cents a
ton. Immediately the coal operators
added s$2 ton to the price of coal.
Mr.. Hines believes that the success
vance in price from the consumer will
encourage many similar efforts. He
predicts that q hvefold increase over
tho additional freight charge will be
added to prices OF many, products.
MIR. Hines urges that the increase
might be held down to J. threefold II

Lever law. -.
+ Should Step IT, =
The Attorney General should put the
fear Of the prohteering law into those
who contemplate such advances by acti
ing on Mr.. Hines suggestion. He can
also aid in holding down the prices of
food, fuel and clothing during the COM
ing winter by promptly bringing to the
bar. Of justice any who have played
falsely with the public.
Public sentiment has been greatly
awakened in respect to such advances in
recent months. There is dynamite in
this aroused opinion which is not to be
trided with. There ia no. longer the

waiting to be separated from Its large
earnings by the predatory element in

changed attitude of the consumer.

1t is doubtful IL even the recent in
crease Of $500, oo0, 900 in railroad

gestion was made. by one Of the MEM

minority, however, apds the board de-
cided the question. adding this large
amount to the living costs Of the en-
tire population. ::
The addition. to rail rates Of an
equally large amount required to give

with scarcely a murmur. Apparently
some Of the profiteefing element have
accepted. this submission to necessity

With the opening tomorrow of the Ala . bama State Fair for the year of 1920. the citizens of Alabama will find the largest, the most comprehensive and the mos interesting exhibition that this big association has ever presented to it's clientele in all its long and eventful his- tory, according to it's president, MT.

 Elaborate in every detail, strictly up to the minute bigger, finer and more versatile than it has ever been thought ficers of the Alabama State Fair Asso- citation are proud to invite the people of Alabama to witness the magnificent en- tertainment which they have provided this year.
 From an educational standpoint the standpoint of entertainment it will prove enjoyable; from a civic and patriotic standpoint, it will prove a lesson to every person attending this ''big show and altogether the fair, which is one of Bir- mingham's best assets, will again pro- vide a week of excellent enjoyment for the thousands who will be in attendance.
 More delighted than ever with the pros pect of successful fair, more optimistic and more confident than ever before of the steps toward perfection which the Alabama State Fair has made during the past few years, President Brown, to whom much of the credit for the great success of the fair is due, announces with pride that with the presentation ct the 1920 fair. Birmingham and Aiapama will have something which will reflect honor and credit this city, this coun- ty and this state.

 Further good news in regard to the fair" President Brown said, "is the fact that in order to accommodate the rgeat crowds, and as I said before make every
 thing as convenient and as comfortable as possible automobile owners will have no more trouble about their cars. We have constructed a double gate at the
 eastern entrance to the fair grounds, which is a great improvement over for

 T would like to say also" President Brown continued. that this community, this county and this state-indeed every body who in any way has enjoyed the fair in days gone by. and who will enjoy it in the days to come, is largely in- debted to Mr, J. T.. Dent, the clever sec retary of the Alabama State Fair As sociation, for the big things that have been accomplishsd.
