U. S. DEBT Is One
TENTH OF WEALTH
Stands First of All Nations
In Credit Resources,
Says Rep. Good.

The commanding position the
United States occupies in the. finan-
cial world is aptly shown in figures
just published in the Congressional
Record by Chairman Good of the
House Appropriations Committee.
AS compared with other govern
ments in the world" says Good, "the
United States stands first in credit,
first in international wealth, and, so
far as the present indebtedness is
concerned, it stands the lowest
among the great nations of the
world in it's indebtedness as COM
pared with the wealth of it's peo-
pie.
When the world war began,
Great Britain proper-that is, the
British Isles-had a national wealth
Of about $4,000, ,O0O,0 900. That was
the value Of all the banks and all
the factories and farms and every
thing owned by the people of Great
Britain,
''At the close of the war, Great
Britain had a national debt Of more
than $4,000, 900, 900, a debt eaual to
so per cent of the wealth of, all the
people Of the British Isles before
the war.
France had a national wealth be-
fore the war of S56,OO0,OOO, 900.
France closed the war with a ma
tional debt of more than $4,000. .0o0,-
600. The interest on the debt of
France win require every year more
than $4,000, ,oOO,0Og. - -
Italy entered the war with na-
tional wealth of less than $4,000
100000. She closed the war with a
national debt of more than S17,-
O0O, ,0OO, 900.
The United States today has a
national wealth estimated at $40
00o,00o, 900, and she, has a national
debt of approximately $4,000, ,O00.-
600. In other words, the national
debt is equal to about 10 per cent
of her national wealth"

THE FINANCIAL MARKET


NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Apart from
the increased prominence OF minor
speculative issues, some Of which ex-
tended their gains, there was little OF
note or significance In today's profess
sienal stock market session Opinion
among traders appeared to be more
confused, probably as a result Of lat
est phases. bearing upon the labor
and Industrial conditions and the de-
tached attitude Of the public.
Money rates were firm at the outset
but the six pc cent rate was lowered
to five per cent later when it became
evident that tomorrow's heavy pay

Gates Of indebtedness and liberty
bonds interests would be accomplished
without strain.
A large proportion of the days BUSH
ness again embraced the cheaper do
nestle oils their activity being accom-
panied by further upward revision Of
prices for various products. Popular
issues OF that group were chiefly rep
resented by Mexican petroleum, al
though a three point rise in that stock
was reduced to l s-s at the heavy
close.
Steels and equipments, also motors
and their accessories suffered losses OF
to 8 points and rails led the general
decline Of the last hour with sugars
chemicals and ruhbers
A sharp recovery in sterling at
tributed to the purchases Of demand
bill to meet mid October cotton and
grain payments was the feature Of the
foreign exchange market. Nearly all
other European remittance was a firm
err, even the German rate showing
some support. Far Eastern exchanges
notably the Chinese and japanese
quotation also were better.
Liberty bonds and victory notes were
stronger by fractions to fully fifty
points, neither series, however, max
ing new high records. The general
bond list was uneven, but some rails.
