HIGH GRADE RAIL
BONDS In DEMAND
Strong Market Makes New
High for Great North
ern rs.

NEW YORK, July 25.-A strong
demand for high grade railroad is
sues featured the bond market to-
day. New high records were made
by the Great Northern Is and the
Burlington collateral 61ss, the for
;ner advancing " point to 100 and
the latter = point to 1907, or az
points above the price at which
they were offered in May. Pennsyl-
vania Railroad issues were in de-
mand at higher prices following the
publication of a highly favorable
earnings statement covering June
and the first six months of 1921.
The general AIS went as high as
771z, compared with II at the close
on Saturday. The 6Iks advanced a
slight fraction to ssk. Canadian
Northern SIS were up z point to
97&. An dvance of IL points in
st. Louis and Southwestern consol-
idated As carried the price up to c5.
Southern Railway As advanced a
half point to 57it.
Continued demand was common
to numerous Industrial issues as
well as the railroads. FoIlowine
their remarkable recovery last
week. Cuba Cane Sugar Is advanced
another point to 67h today, but
yielded half their gain in the later
trading. Kelly-Springfield Tire 81
assumed some of the strength OF
the stock. advancing IN points to
s6&. Mexican Petroleum IS were
half point higher at s5h.
Beyond a gain of % point in Ben
gian IS, there was practically no
change in the price of foreign
bonds. Libertys were fairly active
and for the most part slightly
higher. The second AIS were up
20 cents to S7.56. Fourth AIS, the
most active of the Liberty group
showed an appreciation at one time
of 16 cents.

June, 1920. was 4,2ss; by the 1st
Of January. 1891, this number had
risen to 47,13i. and on the 3oth of
April. 1921. it reached its maximum.
$3.50. By the 1st of June, this
number had fallen to 6o,5s5, of
which 42.546 were. men and 1908
women. On the 18th of June, 1891,
the registered unemployed in all in
dustries totaled 5s,411.
Unempleyment Decreasing.
1t will be seen from the above
figures that unemployment has been
gradually decreasing in the last two
months
In these same two months there
has been gradual resumption of
trade. The minister of labor fore
sees continued decreases in unem-
ployment in all lines of industries
at gradual rate. The minister
draws attention to the fact that
there was q much more severe un-
employment situation Immediately
following the armistice, wncn the
number of unemployed totaled at
one time $4,000. This first period
Of unemployment however. was Of
short duration, the number falling
from 12s.o0o in, January. 1919. to
q, 900 in April, 1919.
Anoticeable feature Of the last
two months In the general trade OF
France has been the tendency to
renew stocks 10 all lines which
had fallen very low because of
the period OF worldwide depression
Without undue optimism. it may
be safely stated that the turning
point in the situation has been pass
ed and that gradual Improvement
In all lines has started.

Copper mining made great gains
under the stimulation Of war prices.
when in 1915 the output amounted
to over $4,000. 900. but dropped with
the fall in the price Of the metal to
about $500. 900 in 1919. With the
development of transportation many
of the widely distributed deposits
NAV be developed to continue tne
production of this metal on stable
basis The other metals will be de-
veloped as mining becomes better
organized and transportation is I'M
proved.
Alaska's coal lands were with
drawn from entry in 1906, and there
was no development until the ieasr
ing law went into effect In 1914.
Even yet the coal resources have
not been thoroughly prospected. and
economic conditions have not Ia
vored the srowth of coal mining.
The oil lands are likewise un-
measured. These lands were with
drawn in 1910. and development
stopped until the passage Of the
leasing act in 1920. There 10 con-
siderable promise of large oil pro-
duction from the several fields now
known.
From the standpoint of value OF
products and men employed. the
fishing industry Is the most impor-
tant in the Territory. The output
rose during the war from SIS, ,100.-
900 in 1918 to $50, 200, 900 in 1918. OF
this total over $4,000. 900 was
canned salmon. with halibut and
herring amounting in value to over
a million dollars each. Goldfish and
whale products were almost as
large.
These fisheries will soon be seri-
ously depleted IL protection is not
afforded against overhshing. which
| may assure a large and continuous
income for the future. Some of
these fishing grounds lie outside the
emile limit and international agree
ments are needed to protect them.
The timber resources are esti-
mated by the Forest Service to in
clude a supply of $4,000, 900, 200
board-feet of timber suitable for
lumber or pulp. Properly cared for
and systematically cut. there IL a
pulp-wood supply that would
largely meet the needs of the United
States for a long period.

times amounting to about one and
a half million dollars.
The development of Alaska has
thus far SO surpassed the early OK
pectations that adoption of a COM
prehensive program of development
with a competent board on the
ground as suggested by the Alaska
Advisory Committe would appear to
be fully justified.
The Washington herald., 1921-07-26

The more rapid development Of
Alaska is proposed by the new gov
ernor Of the Territory. Scott C.
Bone. Changes in the method of
governmental supervision are pro-
posed for the same purpose, and at
tention has been directed to the
potential resources. once the neces-
sary steps are taken to make these
resources fully available.
Alaska Is as yet largely an un-
measured asset though II Is now
known to be an asset of far more
value to the nation than even the
widest dreamer imagined when the
United States purchased the vast
domain in 1857 for about $1,000, 900.
Against this first cost, and the rela-
lively small cost to the nation since,
may be set the value of the produc-
tiveness from natural resources in
mineral. coal. oil. lumber and fish,
which now amount to near $1,000
900 900.
While there has been much dis
cussion of exploitation, the assets
of this, the greatest undeveloped
region of the United States, are
enormous in the aggregate.
