Lifting Excess Profits
Tax Aiding British Trade
Renewal of Confidence the Most
Important Development as
Result of the Plan

The partial removal OF the excess
profits tax in England. according to
private advjces to Frederick S. Har-
ding, New York agent for the Anglo
South American Bank, Ltd, has led to
a more optimistic business viewpoint
and renewal of confidence.
The plan for removal of the duties is
said to have been brought about by
the fact that the revenues therefrom
were a year in arrears, and that the re-
moval is expected to mean an auto
matte increase in the income tax reve-
nues in better times. The action was
Immediately reflected in favorable
effect upon stocks, which was some
what restricted, however, by poor finan-
cial conditions abroad.
The Office of the bank in Barcelona,
Spain, reports the financial condition
in that country to be anything but
satisfactory. Credit conditions are
said to be very restricted, together
with a general depression in the mar
kets following the revision in customs
duties which affects great number of
lines in manufactured goods generally
From South America the Offices of
the bank report that in Buenos Ayres
the wool market is active, but CONNER
cial failures i'll January were heavy,
In Valparaiso, Chile, business gen
orally is restricted. while Montevideo
reports livestock inactive and the mar
ket in hides weak.
In the Argentine the markets in
skins and woods are firmer, following
heavy buying by North America, but
estimates on the wheat crop place the
yield somewhat lower than was ex-
pected. The quality is said to be good,
however, and the price relatively high.

Trade ReoipaI
is Retarded by
Large Stocks
amount Of Manufactured
Merchandise Still Being
Held OF Market Tends
to Check Production

One Of the most effective brakes on
tons of a boom is the great stock Of
goods that is tied up in one way or
another, manufactured for specific
purposes and impossible of conversion
into other channels. 1t is reported
that great stocks Of tire fabrics are
held in the warehouses Of the tire ccm~
panies or in mill warehouses. The
amount of money tied up in these
goods, either by tire manufacturers or
the cotton mills, who have not been
paid for them, is tremendous and in
capable Of accurate calculation.
Then there is the great amount of
leather stock made up for the auto
mobile trade and languishing in
storage awaiting revival of the auto
motive trade. One of the large leather
companies is said to have about So ,o0o,-
600 worth of side leather and other
in Newark, N. j., warehouse. 1t is
expected that some time will elapse
before these stocks are reduced to a
point where additional supplies will
start the tanneries to furnishing such
leather products again.
These are but three instances of the
many cases of frozen" credit that are
preventing a resumption Of trade on
anything approaching a normal scale.
A large quantity of silk goods in the
gray or unfinished state is reposing in
the warehouses of the government. it
is said, awaiting removal by importers,
who find that the freight and duty
charges are more than the goods are
worth on the present market. Some
silk men estimate that fully 100000
S. posnd, are thus held.
On the other hand. dealers in dry
goods are experiencing difficulty in
getting some of the merchandise that
is wanted for immediate sale in re-
sponse to consisten consumer demand

new Mexican government and there
will be little difficulty in arranging
suitable terms of payment. We are
willing to sell Mexico all the locorno-
tives she needs. We have been willing
to do SO since last summer, and have
entire confidence in President Obregon
and in the new Mexican government.
I may add that we are dealing direct
with government officials and not
through any Intermediates whatso-
ever"
Operation by Private Firms
An interesting development in the
Mexican railroad situation during the
dark days Of the Carranza regime,
when practically all the rolling stock
was in the hands Of the military au-
thorities OF in possession Of the revo-
lutionists, and none was available for
the commercial needs Of the republic,
was the making of contracts with pri-
vate firms Cor the operation of trains
on the tracks of the National Rail-
ways. At the close of the Carranza
regime practically all the foreign
trade of Mexico was carried in these
private trains" The Oliver American
Trading Company were pioneers in the
movement, beginning with two locomo-
tives and about twenty freight cars,
which later were increased to fourteen
locomotives and noarly 800 cars. These
trains were run from the United States
border to Mexico City, and all mer-
chandise was carried at express rates.
We're it not for these private trains"

Reminiscent Germany
Bidding for Orders

Advertising columns Of news
papers in western Sweden show I'M
rnistakable signs Of reviviscent
Germany. The leading paper of
Gotenburg carries two pages of
German manufacturers advertising
daily, causing not little uneasiness
in Swedish manufacturing circles
and growing demand for protec-
tive tariff.
Prospective competition with Ger
man houses will doubtless be felt
by American and British exporters,
who have dominated this market
for the last few years.
Conditions of the German rail-
roads appear especially favorable,
as it requires only ten or twelve
days for delivery of freight i'm all
parts Of Sweden from Germany The
improvement in traffic conditions in
the central European countries re-
Gently has been considered remark
able.

cities Of the republic would have been
paralyzed. Merchants were also per
mitted by the government to repair
cars for their own use. and these cars
became the property of the firm max
ing the repairs for periods of time
varying in proportion to The amount
Of money expended. The Guraa re-
port gives the number of these pri-
vately owned and operated cars and
locomotives in September. 1920, as
freight cars.
Earnings Show Increase
It is an interesting fact that the
earnings of the National Railways at
present are greater than they were be-
fore the revolution, when the lines were
not under government control. The rea-
son for this apparent paradox is that
practically ali goods shipped in Mexico
to-day are sent by express, at express
rates. The gross earnings of<the Ma
tional Railways in December last were
nearly 100000 pesos The figures for
January wih~prove to be much higher,
as an Increase in rates went into eff
feet in December.
The Mexican government is making
strenuous efforts to get the National
Railways back into good condition.
They have been seriously hampered by
the lack Of new equipment and the run
down condition of the old. Considering
the difficulties to be overcome, includ-
ing the important one of lack OF money,
the strides already made have been
most praiseworthy,
