Sabin on Money

Charles II. Sabin, head Of the Guar
anty Trust Company, holds that present
rates for money are nigh enough to
bring about credit reduction if the de-
mand becomes less intensive. In Wall
street interview on the credit situation
yesterday he said: Every class of
borrower in this country. from the poor
est to the United States government.
is paying high price for money, either
tor short or long periods, which is due,
OF course. to the shortage of capital
and credit on one hand, and to the in
come tax on the other. The legitimate
domestic demand for essential goods of
all sorts, as we'll as the foreign demand
is very great. A high interest rate
helps, to keep goods moving to meet
the demand and to prevent boarding.
Concidentally it reduces the non
essential demand for goods at a time
when it is Of highest Importance THAI
consumption be restricted as far as
practicable to essentials. If more
intensive demand were conceivable it
probably could, for a time. practically
force credit extension, in spite Of even
higher rates than those prevailing to-
day. Consumption cannot indefinitely
continue at the present rate unless
production increases, and either in
creased production or curtailed con-
sumption would, of itself, eventually
bring deflation.

vehicles. ~ am told" he adds, "thar

Motor cars are being driven overland
by dealers as far as Texas and Cali
fornia. 1t would not be surprising if
for time during the later spring the
roads would be in such condition as TO
check this movement, just as the heavy
SHOWS did for time during the win
ter. 1t is my opinion that motor stocks
should be sold when they reach high
mark, which, if the present market
continues, might be around July or
August. This opinion is based to a
great extent upon the expansion the
motor industry is undergoing Practi-
cally every plant is building huge ad-
ditions; these will come into produc-
tion beginning with the fall, and it is
not unreasonable to suppose that by

TranscontinentaI Oil

AT the annual meeting of stockhold- :
ers yesterday President Parrott said
that earnings of the Transcontinental
Oil Company for the first quarter of
1920 amounted to S243,0OO, after all
deductions. He added that the total
for April alone was greatly in excess
of that for the preceding three months.
He announced that it was not neces-
sary for the company to consider new
financing at this time, as there was
sufficient working capital to meet the
budget as originally outlined. The op-
timjstic remarks of Mr.. Parriott were
made public yesterday at about the
time Transcontinental was declining to
its new low record price of 1875. The
stock closed at 14A, net loss of IL

Cumulative Gloom

Wall Street was gloomier yesterday
than on any preceding day of the

reason why stocks should be bought.
But a ray OF hope was extended in at
least one house that the downward

by May 10, when it is predicted that
"the main upward movement of the
year will be resumed" Buying in

I. C. c. Awaiting Labor Board Decision

According to one commission house
winch is closely following railroad de-
velopments, the Interstate Commerce
Commission is more likely to base it's
rate making recommendations upon the
decision of the new Labor Board re-
garding wages than upon the rate re-
port now in course of preparation by
the Association of Railway Executives
In pursuance of such policy the firm
believes that the Interstate Commerce
Commission is pursuing the only prac-
tical course, as, should rate decision
be made without careful consideration
of possible advance in wages. it
might be only matter of a short
while before labor would demand the
lions portion of the rate advance.

The European Petroleum Outlook

just returned from England, Bel
GUM and France, H. D. Frueauff. head
of the marketing department. of Henry
l.. Doherty e. Co., says that the Euro
pean demand for petroleum in the
next few years is likely to attain pro-
portions never before reached. The
only limit on the European demand
or oil at the present time, he says, is
xed by the available transpcrta-
tion facilities. petroleum stocks in
Europe, particularly of gasoline, fuel
oil and lubricating oils" he adds,
"have not yet begun to get back to
normal. Competition from continental
sources is cut off and is likely to re-
main negligible for some time to come
because of the breakdown of the trans
portation system for serving Russian
ana Roumanian fields. With regard to
future consumption, it is significant
that automobile construction in
Europe is likely to be on larger scale
than ever before"
