closely as have the postal EMPLOYEES
themselves. The Burleson system has
been one of total disregard for the
item of good service and it will take
a republican congress to eliminate
the evil.
ldaho's bit in this performance
should be the election of f. r. Good
ing, as the state undoubtedly will
carry very strong majority for the
republican ticket.

STEEL PRODUCERS DO
NOT FEAR PRICE DROP
Contract Cancellations Are
Evidence of Caution.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD
PrrTsBURo, Oct. 16.-lt seems to be
the consensus of opinion In the iron and
steel trade that prices are going to
undergo general recession. but It does
not seem to cause any alarm producers
pointing to their order books as al
answer to the probable harm arising
from a reduction of income That the
reaction will go far enough to bring
about eventually an advancing market
again is not universally predicted. but
Il is a clear probability simply because
euch 10 the course the iron and steel
market always has pursued. AS to the
extent OF the declines, the common vie
IS that prices Of Independent steel mile
viii decline to the United States Steel
Corporations price level, maintained
pt actlcally unchanged for year and
half, and will then go sufficiently fur ther
ahead TO enable mills to buy their way
tack into the market again.

the pig iron market because there Is no
e.fnite recognized level on which the
market might settle. The furnaces re-

SHORT SELLING OF
LIBERTIES ALLOWED
Stock Exchange Rescinds
Rule Two Years Old.

Under regulation resembling a rul-

thus opening what Is characterized In
some quarters as a free and open mar
ket' for those securities. Heretofore.
since May g. 1913, short selling OF Lib
erty bonds has not been possible because
OF the ruling made on that date to the
fleet that "all United States Liberty
Loan bonds shall be dealt In only for
cash or regular way and buyers shall
demand delivery of bonds. Failure TO
deliver must be reported by the buyer
to the secretary Of the New York Stock
Exchange"
At meeting last week the committee
adopted resolution resembling the ruiz
ing. but official announcement OF that
action was not made until yesterday.
Thus Liberty bonds viii be I'm a position

expected In Wall Street that this new
development will be OF lncalculable
value to the Liberty bond market be-
cause II Is mn axiom Of the Street that.

to adverse influences to a far greater

favorable news for times almost with

market TO break sharply. with declines

issues on more than one market day.
In the cases OF other securities. wherein

that nature we're checked by the in
nuence OF the short interest which
stepped In TO buy the declining secu-
rifles to cover short commitments and
acted as very effective check on the
downward movement with short SELL
ing permitted IN the United States war

for those bonds will be considerably
better.

Reserve. About Unchanged.

The statement issued yesterday by the
Reserve Bank included the worst fea-
lures of the big transactions of Friday
without including the compensatng de-
velopments which occurred yesterday
and will occur tomorrow. Consequently
the fact that reserve ratios were about
unchanged indicated that next weeks
statement will be more favorable. The
ratio of deposits and Federal Reserve
note liabilities combined was 1871 per
cent. against 1856 per cent In the pre-
ceding week and the ratio Of reserves
to net deposits after deducting 40 per
cent gold reserve against Federal Re-
serve notes In circulation was 371 per
cent, against 36.6 per cent In the pre-
ceding week There was little net change
in bank borrowings from the Reserve
Bank but there was rise of S45.000,-
900 In gross deposits and an expansion
of s11. 600. 900 in reserve notes In circuia-
ton. Credit demands in connection with
cotton and grain crops and movement
are at their extreme peak and a decline
In the amount of Federal Reserve notes
outstanding is anticipated from now on.
