Railroad Funding Bill

1t Is not often everybody sees the
same thing in the same way. Accord
ing to Street gossip, based upon re-
liable advices from Washington, there
Is every likelihood Of speedy action on
the part of the Senate on the Railroad
Funding Bill when Congress recon-
venes next Friday. That is the Street
viewpoint.
A well known local financial political
interest, who was intimately associated
with the Wilson Administration, ex-
pressed an entirely different one yes
tcrday.
During n conversation In one of
the prominent commission houses he
stated that during visit to Washing.
ton. lust prior to the adjournment or
Congress, he was informed by inhu-
ential members of both Houses there
was not the slightest chance for the
bill being enacted at the special session.
Furthermore, he said, II was IN
formed by member of the steering
committee, unless the bill was amended
TO a considerable extent 1t did not nave
much of chance even ut the regular
session. Both the Western and South
western element look upon the present
measure as a clean-cut handout for tine
railroads and it is going to require some
good, hard arguments 10 chahge their
minds. The figures ana facts presented
by former Secretary MacAdoo have made
many more stubborn than ever. Wnat
is more. you will find the present
Congress is not at all friendly TO
capital

Railway Steel Spring

1t is figured the equipment com
panies will be in position possibly to
make a great deal more money out OF
repair work than on new cars. The
larger number of cars out of repairs
is helping several of the companies in
absence Of large orders for new equip
mcnt. According to the street reports.
the Railway Steel Spring Company is
one Of the companies which has been
materially benefited on these lines.
The company is understood to be in
exceptionally good shape. For six
years ended January ! last it paid off
It's entire bonded debt amounting to
Sc. $50 900 and added $S, 12O 900 to
working capital. a total Of S14, ,72O 900
against S13. 1000, 900 common stock,
Cash holdings on January ] last were
SS. 900. 900. equal to more than S6G a
share; cash holdings today as result OF
inventory reduction must be equal to

stock

Heavy Defiation in South Africa

South African import and export
figures for the month of August must
be interpreted in the light of the heavy
defation which is still in progress. The
delay in the return to normal conditions
is largely to be attributed to the fact
that the peak of imitation was not
reached in South Africa so early as in
many other countries. Thus, imports
in 1920 were e.. .S03. .072 in value as
compared with f3,326.0lS in 1910. In
view Of the huge surplus which had to
be absorbed. it is surprising that in
August, 1921, goods TO the value of
f3 ,SS7 ,5G2 were imported. Exports
were 10 per cent greater in value in
1921 than in 1920; the actual figures,
us cabled by Trade Commissioner Stew
cnson, were "a. .664 ,5s1 and "a ,240 1856,
respectively. The whole second quar-
ter showed favorable trade balance.
