FAR EAST'S FOREIGN
TRADE FLUCTUATINC
Exchange Rates Not Aiding
Chinas Exports.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.--Fluctuating
foreign trade in the Far East was noted
in monthly survey of business and
economic conditions issued tonight by
the Commerce Department.
Existing exchange rates are an essen
tial factor in fostering China's importa-
tons at present. but have the reverse
effect on China's exports. according to
the Pekin report. Advices from Toxic
declared that the first half OF October
seemed to indicate an improvement in
Japan's foreign trade, compared with
that OF September. but that her overseas
trade In September had failed to retain
the Improvement of August.
marked increase in the Investment
OF Japanese capital in cotton mills in
China was reported as well as the grant
ing of rich timber concessions In the
maritime province district to Japanese.
Renewed interest I'm Siberian trade was
reported from Harbin, although. accord
ing to Vladivostok advices Eastern ST.
berian crops are not expected to average
more than 80 per cent. Of normal.
Every trade organization I'm Japan is
discussing the question of foreign mar
kets for manufactures. the Department
stated, Its report asserting that although
the Japanese business world feels

Tho railroads will face Government
ownership and control II the agricultural
bloc in Washington and other forces at
work in the Congress and the country
succeed in their efforts to repeal section
422 OF the transportation act Of 1920.
which supplies the Interstate Commerce
Commission with a general rule for rate
making, said statement issued yester-
day by the National Association Of
Owners OF Railroad Securities. following
Joint meeting here of several of it's

will be sent to members Of the Congress.
Administration officials and more than
$4,000 other interested persons.
Defending that clause Of the Esch-
Cummins act which places a mandate on
the Interstate Commerce Commission to
fix freight and passenger rates which
will obtain q 6 per cent. return on the
aggregate property investment of the
railroads. tho statement says that if the
Congress cannot leave to its own agency
the adjustment Of rates to produce the
return Indicated as the minimum that
will sustain transportation then rcgu-
lation by commission fails.
There Is no railroad this association
knows of that has combated Congress
and the commission over reasonable
adjustment of freight rates." the state
ment continues. There Is no railroad
this association knows OF that has found
fault with the inability of the groups
OF railroads to earn more than they have
been earning. although wages are con-
trolled by one governmental agency and
revenues from rates by another. with no
ccoordinating relations between the two,
an impossible situation to be permitted
to exist and expect results"

Big CAR COMBINE
BEING CONSIDERED
Haskell & Barker and Pullman
Officials Discuss Deal for
Consolidation.

Special Despatch to THE New YorK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Oct 21.--A deal for the abb
sorption of the Haskell & Barker Com
pany by the Pullman Company is un-
der consideration by the officials of
those companies. 1t has not reached
stage for presentation to their &
rectors. but has been discussed infCr-
mally by leading financial interests in
both companies. and some conclusion
is likely to be reached in the next :.
days. Such consolidation would bring
together two of the largest car build
ing enterprises in the country.
The stocks of both companies have
been very strong since the meeting of
the Pullman directors on Wednesday.
Haskell & Barker sold to-day at 60. a
rise from 5Sls at the close on Saturday
Buying, reported to be from the in
side. began In the stock on Wednesday
and sent it's price up to 62A. The de-
mand continued yesterday. causing a
rise to 66ss. and to-day there was a
rapid advance to 50. followed by re-
cession on profit taking. Pullman stock.
which touched a new low record price
of S7% on Tuesday as the result of q
bear raid on the eve of the directors
meeting. has been rising steadily since
ana to-day crossed SO. That advance.
oue principally to the declaration OF
two quarterly dividends by the board
al this weeks meeting, undoubtedly has
been accelerated by the prospective
combination
When to-day's rise was in progress
there were the usual rumors along La
sale street about an impending stock
dividend on Haskell & Barker, and also
a. report that the company was to he
taken over by the American Car and
Foundry Company at $75 share. both
evidently guesses. made in an effort
to account for the rapid advance OF
the stock.
The Haskell & Barker Company has
outstanding 100000 shares OF stock OF
no par value, which Is carried in It's
balance sheet at $ll.0O0000, and at the
end of its last fiscal year. January 81.
1921. had a surplus of $5.177.957. 1t has
no funded debt. The stock has sold
as low as soy this year. 1t pays quar-
terly dividends of 81. It's net earnings
amounted last year to $3.50 a share
before taxes. The capital of the Pull
man Company is $4,000 900, on which
per cent. annual dividends are paid
The Haskell and Barker plant is in
Michigan City, Ind, and has capacity
of 10000 to $4,000 of both wood and
steel cars. 1t has been kept running at
a fairly good rate for the last year be-
cause OF the demand from the railroads
for equipment repairs. Some good sized
orders for new cars have been placed,
but because of the financial difficulties
of the carriers they have been nothing
like the country's transportation situa-
tion would justify.

California OH output.

A reason for the rapid advance Of
crude oil prices lies in continued con-
sumption on a large scale co!ncident
with falling off of production. Cali
fornia supplies good example OF the
present situation. A strike of oil field
workers which began several weeks ago
acted to cut down daily production
1900 barrels. or IS per cent. in Sep
tember as compared with the output in
August. Shipments from field TO re-
finery. however, comprised s.0s7,600 BAR
rels in September. an increase of 2S1 ,OS7
barrels compared with the August flow.
and stocks were reduced more than
$4,000 barrels. Exports from Mexico
were heavy last month and the oil had
to be taken largely from storage. Be-
cause of slackened production in many
fields 1t is a question yet whether the
statistical position of supplies is not
much more Of a factor in the price
movement than reawakened consump-
ton throughout the world.

Bears whipped Again.

The bears who have been basing their

railroad strike was first threatened failed
yesterday to profit by their unpleasant
experiences ON Wednesday and Thurs
day. Some of the oil and miscellaneous
manufacturing issueS--as well as many
rail stocks-were carried lower by short
sales In the morning because 1t looked
as though the railroad union leaders had
closed the doors to settlement. But by
noon the situation was changed radi-
cally. The Arm stand of the United
States Railroad Labor Board in warning
the unions not to go ahead with a strike
before a conference OF employees and en-
ployers had been completed caused a lot
of lively short covering. The short sellers
