Association Charges That Speculator
Is Responsible for Coal ProfHeering

That the orgy of profiteering in
coal must be laid directly at the
door of the speculator was the
charge made yesterday by the Ma
tional Coal Association, represent
ing two-thirds of the country's
bituminous operators.
The statement of the association
quotes the recent reportS of the
Federal Trade Commission, showing
that the operators receive an. aver
age price of 1926 per ton for coal
at the mine. While the operator
and producer are operating on a
slender profit. the speeulator is
reaping a profiteering harvest of
from 200 to 800 per cent. in charg-
ing from 50 to s12 a ton for coal
which he buys at from s3.25 to 81.
The principal factor that has
worked to the advantage of coal
manipulators, the operators state.
has been the practice of the recon-
signment of carloads of coal. for
which the railroads are responsible.
Under this practice, carloads of coal
obtaiped by spectators at a low
price have been started out to an
original .consignee. later on the
speculator. causing the shipment to

GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago July 31.-Bears in the
grain pit forced the market to
lower levels today. Efforts to
check the slump failed and the half
day session was marked by general
lack of support.
In the wheat market heavy short
covering featured trading, at the
opening and steadied prices but the
market slumped after this demand
was filled and closed IL to l3 cents
lower. Prices today were lowest
since government control became
effective. Reports from the interior
said farmers wee marketing their
grain as fast as they can move it.
Exporters were waiting for the
market to stabilize.
Corn was weak and declined 3
cents soon after the opening and
closed 6a to 6hs cents lower. The
break in wheat and the unsatis-
factory situation all contributed to
inspire shorts in corn to continue
their efforts toward lowering
values. On the break Armour was
a good buyer. s
Oats followed the trend Of other
grains and closed at loss of 9
to 9h cents. The market was fea-
turedj by commission houses with
country connections selling.

Will be everything that distin-
guishes the best we know in hotels
Naturally. Philadelphians will be
proud that Philadelphia architects
have been commissioned for this
work, but If Bethlehem can solve
its hotel problem by cooperative
effort through direction of the
chamber of commerce, why cannot
Philadelphia and other cities suffer-
ing loss through inadequacy of ho-
tells do likewise?
Today Philadelphia is estimated
to be 1000 hotel rooms short. That
is not fair to the city or the people
who come to the city.
Through the sale by the MARQUIS
Charles Pierre de Bausset ROGUE
fort of three five-story tenement
structures in Prince street, TWO
hNc-sIOFy tenements In ELIZA beth
street and two ve-story tenements
in Mott street, New York, the other
day, 1T developed that these struc-
lures had been owned by the family
of the marquis for eighty years.
The tenements of Prince, Eliza
beth and Mott streets are among
the foulest and most crowded in
New York. They are not the old
est. There are some in Washing
ton, Carlisle, Albany and other
streets down in the toe of Man
haitian that were old and disgrace
full when those in Little Italy
were built, and which still are used
for dwellings by the twenty-three
nationdlities that make up the ten
ement/ population of wall Sereet's
Backyard"
The sale of the property of the
Marquis de -Bausset Roeuefort's
tenements may lead New Workers
to inquire how much more of its
reaelty is owned by foreigners. Not
few members of old New York
families live abroad and draw their
income from their New York or
other American holdings, but for a
French noble to be a New York
landlord is something of novelty.

MEN AND. BUSINESS
By RICHARD SPILLANE.

Bethlehem, Pa, has given an il
lustration to other cities of the
land how to do things. It has
grown considerably in recent years.
1t has outgrown its hotels. Persons
visiting the city on business or
other missions have had to put up
with Inadequate accommodations.
That is bad. Everybody in Bethle-
hem realized this fact and every
body wished somebody would have
spirit and enterprise enough to
build a fine modern hotel that would
be a credit to the city. But what
is eyerybody's business is nobodys
business, or seems so, and while
there was no end of talk about
what should be done. nothing was
done until the chamber of COM
merce people decided it was up to
them to act.
They acted. They appointed a
hotel committee. This committee
included William ]. Heller, chair
man; Francis Dykes, W. B. Myers,
p. E. Wilbur, ], E. Mathews. f. H.
Schwab and w. A. Wilbur. A Beth
lehem Hotel Realty Corporation
was formed and, working in con-
junction with the Bethlehem Steel
Company. the Real Estate Board,
the South Business Mems AssocIa-
tion, the Broad and Main Streets
Business Mems Association, various
fraternal organizations and other
bodies, the public was asked to sub
scribe for stock in the hotel project
The public responded heartily.
Architects of national distinction
were asfied to submit plans and
designs. for the proposed structure.
Among those who responded were
John S. Hershey (Frederick Web
Der, architect); Dennison & Hirons,
George B. Post. & Sons, Montgom-
cry & Riggs, United States Hotels
Company (Essenwein & johnson,
architects); Dwight P. Robinson &
Co., Inc, consolidated with West
inghouse, Church, Kerr & Co., Inc;
Clinton & Russell and Ritter &
Shay, the latter firm of this city.
The committee by unanimous
vote accepted the plans of Ritter &
Shay.
The estimate is that. the hotel
will cost $4,000. 1t will be a
beautiful eight-story structure,
with 200 guest rooms, and have ev-
erything within reason that mod
ern conditions require. The rooms

coal in this way have been recon-
signed as many as fifteen times.
Chairman E. E. Clark, of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, in
a recent letter to Daniel willard
chairman of the Association of
Railway Executives, urged that the
railroads bring down the reconsign-
ment of cars ito the unavoida BILE

So far. however. little has been
done to break up the reconsign-
ment practice, according to reports
reaching the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The coal operators
yesterday appointed committee to
appear before the commission on
Monday and suggest practical
methods of breaking up the prac-
tice of reconsigning coal cars.
From other sources. it was learned

BANK CLEARINGS.

notwithstanding the declining
tendency in commodity prices and
the contraction in general business,
bank ciearings are maintained in
heavy volume, with numerous cen
ters continuing to report the lar
gest totals ever recorded for this

at the twenty-one leading cities in
the United States, amounts to 81
0S0. 70l.4s6, an increase Of 1.2 per
cent over the figures of this week
last year. and of AIS per cent over
those of the same week in 1918.
TO the grand total, New York con-
tributes s4.01s,5a4,753.. a falling of
from 1919 OF 81 per cent, but a

today at sass as contrasted with
the previous closing price of
$40; No. 2, red. garlicky,

Trading Influenced by Re
I cent Statements Of Bank
I: Conditions.
LOANS ARE CALLED IN
Absence of Outside Interest
; Most Disturbing Feature
]. Of Situation.

h The stock market during the past
week was Influenced by the fact
that conditions in the money mar
ket were forcibly impressed on the
situation as a factor by the un-
favorable showing made in the
Statement Of actual conditions of
the banks on last Saturday when
IN place OF the substantial reserve
the surplus was completely wiped
put and the banks showed a deficit
in the amount carried against their
deposits, as a reserve instead OF a
surplus The first result Of this
showing was heavy calling of loans
bn Monday forcing the rate for call
money up to 10 per cent and there
was a disturbance of loans in the
Wall Street district on both Tues
bay and Wednesday. All through
those three days stocks were
pressed on the market and at the
same time an aggressive bear ele-
ment made repeated attacks on
many Of the active issues putting
some Of the leading issues, includ-
ing United States Steel common,
down to new low records for the
year.
The most disturbing feature of
the situation not only while the de-
cline was in progress in the first
half Of the week but when rallies
occurred at the end of the week was
the absence of outside interest.
Commission houses had no buying
orders and the fractional lot deal
ers who at all intervals of weak
ness in the past three years have
come into the market as buyers
reaching up to a large aggregate
were active only on the selling
side. This confined the demand
simply to the room traders and to
covering of shorts by that specula-
tive element which has been per-
sistently committed to the bear
side. As was said on some days
that when upturns occurred the
buying consisted wholely of cover
ing Of shorts And after shorts were
covered the rallies were quickly
lost.
The Washington herald., 1920-08-01
Harding's Statement Helps.


A statement by Gov. Harding Of
the Federal Reserve Board to the
effect that the banks had made am
pie preparations for crop movement
during the next three months had
strengthe influence on the sit
uation for a time, but the state
ment was not followed by an easing
of in the call money situation ex-
cept that the rate for call loans de-
clined at the end of the week to 7
per cent. Advices from the West
did not confirm Gov. Harding $
statements and indicated that the
West must rely on the Eastern
banks for funds to provide for the
crop movement. Those making a
study of the financial situation find
II hard to perceive where Eastern
banks can offer much assistance to
the West. In an application to list
new stock one Eastern bank in a
statement showed against deposits
of S176.0OO 900 it carried only about
$4,000, 900 in quick assets. or about
20 per cent of its deposits.
With this condition existing GER
tainly that bank could not help
much in the crop movement. Wall
Street itself has liQuidated its bank
loans to such an extent that no
further contraction seems possible,
but the market is necessarily hurt
by the fact that no time money can
be obtained and without the assur-
ance OF banking accommodation it
is hard to see how any organized
upward movement can be sustained.
1t had been expected that with the
political situation clearly defined,
as il is at the present time, that
some interest might be disposed to
Garry along what might be called
an election boom, but the situation
in money is an obstacle to any bull
fsh campaign no matter how de-
sirable evidence of prosperity in the
shape Of higher prices might be.
Rumors were freely circulated
continually during the week that
che Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion would announce its ruling on
railway rate advances at once. The
decision was predicted after the
close on several days, and these
rumors were effective in induc-
ing aggressive buying and pool
activities in a number of the low
pficed railroad issues. On Friday
forenoon this buying was most pro-
nounced. and resulted in causing
temporary advance in a number of
ISSUES, leu Dy ol- LOUIS anu oOuln-
western. which then sold at a new
high price for the year. The move
nent was not maintained, however,
and before the forenoon ended room
traders who had participated in the
buying were surprised at the man
ner in which these stocks were sup
piled and quickly turned to the sell
ing side.
Foreign Situation.
The situation in Europe and the
distressing outlook in Poland were
also effective in causing a lack of
buying At the end of the week
hope existed that the predictions of
rate advances would be fulfilled and
present an incentive for an improve
ment in speculative conditions.
