est point ever known, according TO the
United States bureau OF labor stats
tics. The foreign demand for American
products continues to be 80 great that
prices here for that reason tend to re-
main very stiff While the conntry's
exports in December fell off by $780,
900 900, they still exceed those OF De-
cember, 1918, by over 100000 600. This
total foreign commerce Of the United
States during the year 1919 showed an
increase over 1918 of Sl,772, 100000. To,
tai exports for the year were sl,s22,-
900 900, imports were S3,906,000,00O,
leaving an export balance of S40l7,-
100000
Manifestly, this tendency toward an
excess trade balance will continue for
a considerable time except in SO far
as it is checked by exchange rates and
the effect upoI the price level is bound
to be marked. All the more reason ex-
lists, therefore, why as much dehation
as possible in the commodities markets
should be effected by banking control
of money rates and credit. There Is
slight immediate prospect, unfortu-
nately, Of help from European countries
in the defation process, with gold now
at a premium of 35s4 per cent in Lon
don and with the worlds paper cur
rency in the aggregate, exclusive of
the huge issues in Russia, seven times
the amount in 1914.
British exports in 1919 expanded by
some 81 100000, yet without the
least effect in raising sterling exchange
rates. The London explanation of this
fact is that the exports went largely
to poverty-striclen countries on long
credits. In New York last week for
eign exchange was demoralized with
many new low records recorded. Ster-
ling sold as low as $1,000. The pres
ent situation has many elements OF

The Drive Against Imitation.

Although bank customers had been
pretty well prepared for further IN
crease in the rediscount rates OF the
federal reserve system, the increases
announced on Thursday were more
drastic in their effect upon credit than
had been anticipated. The federal re-
serve board showed more courage than
was expected from it, on the other
hand. by the advocates OF strong pol
lev in dealing with credit imitation. The
discount and rediscount rates on com
mercial paper are now up from 4A TO
@ per cent. and on war paper other
than the short-term certificates the ad-
vance is from Az to 51s per cent.
There il still discrimination Of %
per cent In favor of Liberty bonds as
compared with commercial paper, show
ing what had been taken for granted
previously that the federal reserve
board rejecting treasury influence de-
sired to maintain Liberty bond prices
as high as possible. But the increase
to So per cent in the rediscount rate
on loans secured by the war bonds is
still sufficient to curtail such credits.
The price of Liberties was depressed
on Friday. The main drive. however,
is at commercial credits and a cur
tailment in the volume of loans means
that the rise in commodity prices
should be brought under further re-
straint. As things were before the re-
discount rate was so much lower than
the rate in the open market that cred
ii expansion was encouraged. The pres
ent action is a long step toward the
restoration OF normal conditions under
which rediscount rates are above, not
below the so-cslled market rate.
Stock speculation has already been
put under some restraint by the cur
tailment of credit facilities and we may
now hope for signs of diminished spec
ulasion in commodities and real estate.
In so far as such speculation has been
rampant and has contributed to the
rise in prices and the cost of living,
there should be some change for the
better. In December the retail prices
of % articles of food rose to the high
