THE COAL SITUATION

Experts are telling us that the
country will be short of coal this
winter, because the mining compan-
les cannot get freight ears enough
for shipping the coal to the distrib-
uting points.
Go into any big railroad yard in
the country and you will see thous-
ands and thousands of ears standing
on side tracks, waiting TO be un-
loaded In numerous eases they have
been standing many days, possibly
weeks, vet no apparent attempt is
being made to unload them. Even in
small towns YOU will find cars
standing day after day.
This condition is one great cause
FOR the shortage in the rail trans
portation. II is the reason why the
mines are not putting more coal on
the market. Ii is the reason why
many people will freeze next winter
if coal Is not moved more rapidly.
II would he an easy matter TO
correct this disquiting condition of
affairs.
The government could take one
great railrond center as an example.
Ii could send secret service oper-
atiyes to that city to check mp on
the idle ears, and the cause for such
idleness. An explanation could be de
manded of the railroad company.
If the company could not give a
legitimate reason, the officials should
be punished-iailed if possible.
If not the fault of the company,
and the consignee is responsible. he
should be punished-iailed if pos
sible.
And il government officials whose
duty II is to prosecute such offenders
show an inclination to delay or evade
the issue because some ''prominen,
people" are involved. the President
should remove them from office and
otherwise punish them-jail the
shirking prosecutors, if possible

Heavy Buying Puts
Industrial Shares
Up to New Levels
High Points ON Current
Movement Reached by
Active Bidding; Strong
Technical Position Shown

Ncmentun Of advancing prices for
industrial shares carried through yes
tsrday's two-hour session when heavy
buyinr pushed many Of the specula-
five fayorites to new highs for the
movement. 1t was quite evident that
the break in call money rates from Is
10 6 per cent late Friday had created
much better sentiment among the
trading element, and the ease with
which pool operators moved up their
spacialties brought in strong follow
ing, .+x.n4. s,..,. -
United States Steel common stock,
which advanced to 108s4, the highest
level since the wide-open break
Of November, helped the whole list.
The action Of Industrial stocks gener-
ally backs up professional opinion in
the Street which, for some time past,
has held that stocks had been thor
oughly liquidated, were in strong
hands and in strong technical posi-
tion by reason of the fact that many in
vestors who sold to establish losses in
the closing days of last year have not
bought their stocks back.
Until the money situation becomes
much easier, however, it is not believed
that the important financial interests
will undertake any really constructive
operations in the market. Indications
are that after the middle of the cur
rent month the tension in money will
relax and permit Of an aggressive cam
paign for higher prices. Generally
speaking, the financial community is
looking for higher range Of quota
tions before spring. Speculative syn
dicates are still carrying a lot of stock
that can only be distributed profitably
at higher prices.
Among the strong spots in the mar
ket yesterday were United Statea Rub
ber common, Stutz Motor, Corn Prod
ucts. International Paper, Goodrich
Rubber, General Motors, Otis Steel.

Mexico's National
Indebtedness Now
$26.21 Per Capita
Semi Official Study Shows
That Unpaid Interest a
Year Ago Amounted to
40, ,892,147 Pesos

Mexico's per capita indebtedness is
one-ninth of that of the United States.
The share of every man, woman and
child in, the debt of this country is
$223.12, compared with $26.21 in Mex
leo. These facts are presented in
pamphlet just made public on the "Na-
tional Debt of Mexico" which was pre-
pared by Thomas R. Lill, accountant,
who acted as director of the commits
sion on financial and administrative re-
organization Of the Mexican govern
Mexico with Henry Bruere as his aid.
The study, which is semi-official,
sheds light on the movement of the
Mexican government to rehabilitate it's
debt. and is in the nature of forecast
of some of the facts regarding Mexican
finances which will probably be re-
vealed at the conference of the PAN
American Financial Union in Washing
ton on January 10.
According to Mr.. Lii the principal
of the Mexican debt on December 81,
1918, was 695,050,181 pesos (normally
the dollar is worth two pesos), Of
which sum 425,739,800 pesos had been
incurred before the Madero Revolution,
ana ZoS,o1U,ool pesos a1ter tnaC event.
OF this accretion to the debt 81 ,681 ,304
pesos were arranged by the Carranza
administration. Unpaid interest q
year ago amounted to 170,892,417 pesos,
including interest on the railroad obli-
cations, which were guaranteed by the
government.
Mr.. Lill's study was made to fur
nish data for discussion with inter-
national bankers on the subject of re-
habilitating the national debt. In
preface to the pamphlet. Mr.. Bruere
asserts that the conferences last
spring between Rafaelo Nicto, Acting
Secretary of Finance of Mexico, with
J. P. Morgan & Co. were based on his
recommendation that such conversa-
tions be held. Mr.. Nieto and DR.. Al
fredo Caturegli, Mexican Financial
Agent here, will leave this month for
London on special mission to wind
up the affairs Of the former agency in
London and at the same time. it is
believed, sound out the views of
European bankers in the matter of
reaching an arrangement whereby
Mexico's credit may be restored.

Higher Tire Prices

Prospects of an impending advance
In tire prices helped the speculative
pools in their manipulation of the rub
Der and tire stocks yesterday. United
States Rubber, Goodrich, Fisk, Kell--
Springfield and even Keystone, which
recently tumbled below 40, were aggres-
sively strong on active buying. Rub
Der common. for example, crossed l40,
while kelly-Springfeld at the high was
up some points from the low of Fri
day. Plans of the larger members %
the rubber and tire manufacturing
group call for an advance of Mt least
10 per cent in tire prices very shortly.
Ihe advance was expected January /,
but has been delayed temporarily. One
OF the important factors which has led
the manufacturers to decide upon
higher prices for tires is. the shortage
OF long staple cotton, SO essential to
turning out the right kind of fabric
for use in tire building. Labor costs
are also much higher than they were
last spring, when the big manufactur-
ers cut prices. The coming advance in
tire prices In the case Of United States
Rubber IL believed to have been fors
shadowed by an advance this week In
prices Of rubber shoes and other rub-
beS goods.
