I'm Wall Street
A Fat Year for tho Bank

Business uncertainty and labor
troubles didn't interfere with the earn
ing ability of the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York, which returned 100 per
cent on it's average paid-up capital for
the twelve months. In 1918 the bank
earned only 1875 per cent on its aver
age paid-in capital. The bank increased
its surplus from $32,922,0 900 to $45, ,082,-
900 during the year.
Piling Up the Balance
1t kept most of the rest of the world
hustling last year to try and meet
Americas mounting bill for goods sold
abroad. A Wall Street man who likes
cold statistics sat down yesterday and
figured just what the 1900, ,000, 900 1919
trade balance in favor of the United
States, as estimated by Secretary Alex
ander of the Department Of Commerce
really means. He found out that this
represented a piling up of trade
balance at the rate of $13,000,000 for
each of the 800 working days last year,
$1,666,666 an hour on the basis of an
eight-hour day, and $27,777 a minute.
Bull Points
Elements entering in the future
movements of securities are outlined
thus by the Stock Exchange house of
Halle & Stieglitz:
/. Despite the Administrations much
advertised attempts toward reducing
living costs it is still fact that good
securities are relatively lower in price
than commodities.
2. Security prices to some extent
have been kept down artificially, first
by the Reserve Boards indirect attempts
to curb higher values by restricting
credit, and, second, by the stream Of
selling to register losses for tax pur-
poses.
3. So-called technical conditions favor
higher prices. Recent shake-outs have
practically eliminated weakly held &C.
counts. Loans have come down ma
terially.
4. The situation regarding ratifca-
ton of the peace treaty, railroad legis-
lation and labor have been depressing,
but all three problems seem in a fair
way toward settlement.
b. Domestic consumption alone. in
view Of the generally higher standard
OF living, is enough to keep our pro-
ductlon at a maximum, the more so
since production is suffering from the
decreased efficiency of labor and from
shortened working day.

Why the Street Sold stocls

Floor traders sold stocks freely for
a time yesterday forenoon. Their Of
fterings were mainly responsible for
the early dip in prices. They handed
out gut stocks literally, using as a basis
for selling. the unfavorable statement
of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York of last week, which showed the
ratio Of reserves to deposit and note
liabilities down to 1877 per cent, low

munition that the bears employed in
trying to depress prices. A rumor
reached the exchange and went the
1So rounds ts,s,f, Of the Street, subsequently, by
Wilson had decided to resign from the
Presidency This was also used to sell
st stocks on, although many traders
thought such development might be
bullish. Of course the rumor was with
out basis in fact. and probably was the
result OF garbling of news that came
from Washington later to the effect
that the President will make a yerv
important communication to the Dem.

lowing description Of the experience

When IL WAS deemed advisable to
allow the employees "a short rest period
during the mornings and afternoons
to break the monotonous labor, per.
mission was given TO spend that time
in singing, and tho services OF an at
traetive young woman were obtained
as song leader. Our first attempt was
on October 3. 1918. in a room where
four or FIVE hundred women were en-
ployed The success of the sing was
instantaneous and requests for sings
came thick and fast from other rooms.
We were rather keen on finding lead
ers among the workers. but only in a
few instances were we successful IN
doing so.
THE interest the Italians showed
their popular songs printed in Italia n
with the English translation, thus
helping them in mastering the Eng
lish Language. We later helped them
arrange for musical entertainment
The work proving too much for
one song leader we enlisted the serV-
ices Of the local Y. NJ. G. A. song
leader.
Our factory was the first in Wa

company's time, but others have
adopted the plan.
