Federal Reserve Head
Predicts Prosperity

CHARLOTTE N. c., Sept. 23.-Gloomy forebodings Of

longer justified and be dismissed Governor Harding
OF the Federal Reserve Board declared in address last
night at the Made-n-C -Carolinas Exposition.
The banking situation has greatly improved" Mr. Hard
Ing sad and although the process of readusment has
not been completed evidences multiplying that the
corner has been turned and that we have passed the most
acute stage of the readjustment period"
Governor Harding said that in the immediate future
much would depend agricultural developments and the
manner in which this years crops were marketed.
with cooperation the part of merchants and
bankers" he said, "those engaged in agriculture have
opportunities and prospects which not anticipated

cooperation be given.
T should be remembered Governor Harding continued,
that in order to maintain production must push
foreign trade. We cannot maintain foreign trade

must be devised for extending credits abroad of
interesting American investors in foreign properties and

Food Products Financing.

It is interesting to note how many
bears there are in United States Food
Products now. Almost all of them
most strongly objected to criticism of
the company when the annual report
was issued some months ago. At that
time II was obvious to an analyst thai
the company would have to do some
financing and that the stock was sell
ing too high. Now that II is selling
low. and the company doing It's utmost
to straighten out affairs. traders turn
bearish. Instead Of lending their aid
to a constructive program they aid
and abet the spreading Of all kinds of
harmful rumors. This same feeling
is evident in the case Of Atlantic Gull
and West Indies. The new manage
ment Is doing its utmost to pull along.
but numerous rumors continue in
flotation concerning It. These reports
are usually heard from those who
were unable TO see that some read
justment was necessary many months
ago. At that time they were loud in
their criticism of destructive ru-
mors," etc. Now. at the wrong time,
they fetch and carry the bear talk.

Why the Bulls Failed.

Many reasons have been given for
the failure Of the market to hold its
advance. Those concerning the trader
picked to lead the advance, the sell
ing Of Mexican Petroleum and the
stocks manipulated have all been dis
cussed. The vital reason Is somewhat
overlooked. That is the tactics. Of
those who fought the upturn. 1t is
now revealed that they bided their
time until the advance was under way
and professional traders finally con-
vinced. The next step was to induce
q public following. This group had
no speculative line Of stocks and for
that reason did not want the public
In. They, therefore,. started their on.
slaught Particular attention was
paid to Mexican Petroleum because
this group apparently knew there was
a difference Of opinion among the bull
leaders regarding 1t. Attack after at.
tack was made. until finally the mag
nate supporting the stock was obliged
to withdraw.

terest. The buying, which was scat.
tered. came chiefly from trade and
commission concerns. Quotations at
Liverpool were at first stronger. due
to bullish crop advices from this side,
but they reacted sharply before the
start here. Covering orders eventually
rallied the list, and at the end OF the
first fifteen minutes II WIS steady,
showing a net loss Of about ten

EMPLOYEES OWN SIXTH
OF SWIFT & co. STOCK

Employees of Swift & Co. have to
date invested s24.5OO. 900 in the COM

been placed by more than $1,000 EN-.
ployes. This would look as though
the workmen have confidence in the
integrity and good will Of the com.
pany.
Their holdings represent a total Of
nearly 100000 shares. par value $1OO
a share. or more than $24, 4,50O, 900.
These $1,000 represent more than
one-third of the average number of
Swift employees.
This group of fellow-partners con-
stitutes one-half Of the ownership Of
Swift & Co. in point Of numbers. and
nearly one-sixth in point of shares

The Latest Swindle.

Bear traders and magnates are not
the only ones to turn bullish. A few
astute, foxy gentlemen connected with
those thorns which Wall Street has
never been able to get entirely rid Of
the bucket shops-also recognize the
trend Of conditions. Therefore, they
are playing their game in a new way.
After every weak spot in the market,
the deluded victims Of these bandits
are deluged with literature describing
the profits to be made by selling stocks
short. OF course. the operation is de-
scribed in flowery terms containing
references to many millionaires who
made their money selling stocks. Few
of the public really understand short
selling, and the description given in
these letters leaves the lamb with the
opinion that he is about to become a
wild, ferocious stock operator. After
loading the customer up on a short
margin. 1t does not take much Of a
rally to clean him out. Unless the
swindle is stopped, it looks as though
the profitable two years which these
bandits have enjoyed is to continue.

Wall Street Gossip

the better. Quarterly reports, which
will be issued next month. while in
no way sensational, should show
some improvement. The principal
factor, however. is likely to be buy
ing by the corporation. There was
quite little good buying noticed q
month ago in steel common, which
was believed to be for the account
OF insiders. The corporation each
year buys q block of stock for re-
sale to employees, which II offers at
the average sale price. The allow
ances made to those employees who
hold for a five.year period are SO
advantageous that they will un-
make their usual pur-
chases next year. This buying win
reduce the already rather small
floating supply. so that any real
campaign would find United States
Steel in a strong position. -,

Its price on sheet products Of S. a
ton, bringing blue annealed sheets to
ESQ, black sheets to cents and
galvanized sheets to 4 cents a pound.
The increase follows similar ad.
vances by the independents. This

to the fear of consumers that prices
may go higher. The Steel Corpora

NEW CAPITAL
BADLY NEEDED
To HELP ROADS
DR.. Miller, D. c. Economist
Says 81, 100000 Re-
quired to Restore Status.

The sum of $1,000 ,o0o, 900 in new
capital necessary to restore the Amer.
lean steam railroads to their relative
financial position in 1911. according
to a calculation just completed by DR..
Jean Paul Muller, an economist Of
Washington.
He shows that on June 80, 1911, the
book value of investment in road and
equipment Of the carriers was $11, $780,
1887 and that for the year ended
December 81. 1920. this figure was
1885, ,28S. an increase Of 25.5 per
cent.
Other comparisons for these dates
are current working capital balance,
s1,29S.5S2,666 and $743,737.1s6. This
figure Is less than the requirement to
make good accrued depreciation
amounting to $992,126,147. He figures
that per cent Of the fixed investment
would represent the amount of capital
necessary to the railroads to restore
their 1911 position. This would
amount to $1,000, 100000.
DR.. Muller's calculations have re-
vealed that practically the only COM
panies which showed earnings on capt.
tai stock in 1920 in excess of 1919 earn.
ings arc those whose earnings are de-
rived primarily from transportation of
iron ore and coal. This fact, he says,
seems to demonstrate that the demand
for reduction in coal and ore rates is
justified.
