WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW

count we have turned the scales and

900 900 on open account-a shift of
at least $25,000,0 600, 900 as compar-
ed with the situation in 1913. All
this strongly emphasizes the neces-
sity of obtaining some genuine i'm
provement in our method of financ-
ing foreign trade. Action Of Con-
gress on Wednesday in modifying the
Edge act SO as to reduce the imme-
date capital requirements for or
g~anization under that law may help
somewhat. Interesting in this con-
nection is the fact that recent care
full surveys of the volume of accept
ances issued by member banks of the
Federal reserve system appear to
show a decline Of some so per cent
from a year ago. This must be at.
tributed In large to the de-
Ginning volume OF our export bust
ness.
Prices and Money
The price index of the Bureau of
Labor statistics shows a further de-
cline of about 3 points from last
month and leaves the average price
level at about 81 per cent above pre-
war figures as c~ontrasted with a
peak figure of about 172 ~approxim-
ately a year ago. This fall of ITO
points is equivalent to a shrinkage
in the actual price level of April,
probably the most remarkable move
ment of the kind in recent financial
history. AS the government figures
show, however. the price decline is
coming to an end in the wholesale
field although some adjustments re-
main to be made. A great deal is
still to be done in adjusting the re-
Iation between retail and wholesale
prices. The increase in the supply
of time money has been noticeable
during the past week and there Is
distinct evidence of improvement in
the banking outlook at many points
throughout the country. While this
improvement has not been parallel
ed abroad, the tendency in both
Great Britain and France is toward
better conditions.
Market Review and Outlook
Although reactions in some stocks
have occurred from time to time
during the past week many have
held the gains they scored a week
ago. The volume of trading has been
on a moderate basis and it has been
largely concentrated in comparative
ly few issues. Improvement in the
oils, coppers and automobiles a
again been noted and the steel shares
in spite of some professional selling
haze in the main held their own we'll.
There has been a better tone in the
railroad list and while sugar ana
scne other issues have suffered the
decline has not been marked. The
immediate future of the market is
Of course, very dependent upon de-
velopments both at home and abroad
and until a good deal of the uncer-
ta.nty is removed the market will
no doubt continue to back and fl;
nevertheless, even the professional
trading element is beginning to real
ize that while prices may give way
here and there when special drives
are made against them, long stock
does not come out In sufficient guam
tity to make any deep or lasting i'm
precision on values. which carries
with 1t the conviction that the trend
is in the direction of better prices.

Do you believe the second choice
in love is sometimes the right n ?
The pretty Judith married Billy
MISSIONER. the quality in him that
chiefly attracted her was a certain
wild happy-go-Iuckiness. And that
combined with his taste for surrep-
titious liquor and cabarets led
firally to their divorce, a few hours
before Billy met his fate in front of
a motor truck. Judith witnessed
the accident, but she hadn't heard
that 4 slump in the Stock Market
had wiped out Billy's fortune just
previously. Nor was she aware in
the months that followed that
Princeton Hadley, Billy's chum,
was living UP to an agreement and
paying the alimony to her lawyer
that should have come out of her
ex-husband's estate. And when
Judith discovered this, she also dis
covered that she was in love with
Princeton.
How it all turns out Is best left
to Enid Bennett and the clever cast
of players who are supporting her
in her new Ince picture, Her Hus-
bands Friend" showing at the
Ditmas theatre next week. Miss
Bennett was never more winsome,
and the romantic story by Marjorie
Benton Cooke, fits her like a
glove.

NEW YORK. April 23.-Final

The forceful reply of Secretary

Element of this vexatious question
will undoubtedly do much to revive
international trade and cannot fail
to be of benefit to the United states.
The Railroad Situation
Railroad conditions have contin-
ued to occupy a place of primary inn
portance in investment and specula-
tive circles during the past week.
The announcement that the labor
agreements of the war period had
been abrogated or terminated was a
first step which laid the foundation
for some settlement of present rail-
road controversies but which to be
really effective requires much fur
Their work. Revision of the wage
scales in effect on the principal roads
is q matter that will take a good
laal 30 Tina hnfnra IL fG com nlafp6.
Such revision, however, Is evidently
in sight. Statements on the part of
leading members of the admins
tration hat revision of rates is Ike
wise demanded in the interest of the
farmers and other elements in the
community represent a general feel
ing that present rates are in many
cases too high. There is. however,
no disposition so far as can be learn
ed to attempt any general slashing or
rates while in the opinion of many
traffic experts a reasonable r~eadjust-
ment of some rate classifications
would result in actually increasing
the revenues of the carriers. The
force of public demand is evidently
quite fully concentrated upon restor-
ing the railroads TO a self supporting
basis rather than further undermin-
ing them in the interest either OF
farmers or manufacturers.
Foreign Trade
Foreign trade figures for the
month of March show a general de-
crease of about SO per cent in i'm
ports as compared with March, 1920,
and rather more than that proper
ton in exports. AS against February
of this year there is shown an adj
vance of about Is per cent In i'm
ports and a falling off of about 22h
per cent in exports. Meanwhile gold
has continued to come into the Unit
ed States in large quantities and has
tended to strengthen the reserves
Of the Federal reserve system in an
important degree. The net amount
received since the beginning of the

that we owed to foreign countries
