Sins Of OmissiOn

Sins OF Omission.
Now that the carriers are being pri-
vately operated, II is to the interest Of
every owner of railroad securities to
watch carefully for sins of omission in
connection with maintenance expendi-
lures.
With wages reduced, with fewer en-
ployes on railroad payrolls, with oper-
.ating and shop efficiency on the in
crease and with stringent economies
enforced, it is probable that the rail-
roads from now on should be able to
restore bad-order cars and locomotives
and order new equipment on a more
liberal scale than has been the case in
the last year and during the war
years, when prohibitive prices were
demanded for steel rails, cars, locomo-
tives and other transportation neces.
saries. The buying OF needed equip
ment should also be stimulated by any
expansion in operating revenues from
the low levels, relatively speaking, OF
the last five months.
Roads which have expended on
maintenance in the first five months
OF this year 40 per cent or more OF
total operating revenues may be con-
sidered as not having neglected this
ali-important item in railroad opera
ton. In fact, one of the most success
ful spectators of twenty years ago in
railroad shares based his market
manoeuvres entirely on the fluctua-
tons In month to month maintenance
figures.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-08-07

During the week, the whole market,
which has been barren of broad in
vestment demand, and subject princi-
pally to buying by exoprters, has been
called upon to accept a movement
from first hands. much larger than
normal. and continuing longer than
expected.
The inevitable result of this excess
OF Immediate supply over immediate
demand has been considerable de-
cline in prices.
Just here, it is opportune to point
to the fact that so-called speculative,
or investment demand, is of the great
est importance in stabilizing values,
particularly when there is an excess
movement from the country and in
constant demand from consumers. 1t
is estimated that SIS to 80 per cent of
such wheat as will move from the
farms in the Southwest has has al
ready moved, but the spring wheat
movement Is commencing.
Judging from the comparatively
slow flour trade, the milling demand
for spring wheat will be uncertain. 1t
is felt that financial conditions in the
Northwestern States, where there has
been a series Of short crops, Is none
too good, and that in consequence the
movement OF all grains will be earlier
and larger than usual.
The decline in prices has improved
the demand from abroad to some ex-
tent. but 1t Is not brisk, either because
of the lack of ready money or because
immediate necessities have been sup
piled. II is still thought that the en-
tire surplus of North America (Which,
by the way, promises to be compare
lively smalD will all be accepted by
the foreign consumer.
Improvement in the prospects of the
corn crop brought about by recent
rains has increased the offerings from
the producer. The actual movement
to market consequently upon this in
crease in offerings has not yet devel-
oped. Accommodations in Chicago are
moving to the East in goodly volume,

The Worst Judges.

It's curious. but the big fellows who

are going to rise or fall.

Louis X. Liggett got into financial
difficulties, apparently. because of his
faulty judgment of the market value
of the shares of his drug company. As
the quotations moved down, Mr.. Lig-

As the drop continued, he borrowed

Dun 4 Co.'S Report.
z. @. Dun & Co. says:


Revival of business, although by no
means general in scope, is becoming
sufficiently well defined in some quar-
tiers to strengthen the hopeful views
recently expressed. A distinct trend
in the right direction has stely de-
veloped in textile markets with broad
er and more confident trading on both
domestic and foreign account, and
moderate gains appear in certain 9TH
er lines that have long been depressed
Even in the iron and steel industry,
where production has fallen to ex-
tremely low levels, the outlook is
more favorably regarded and an i'm
proved sentiment exists. Without any
noticeable departure from conserva-
tive action, buyers interest is grad
ually returning, and operations in
different channels are slowly expand
ing at a season when an opposite
tendency would not seem unnatural.
After many months of liquidation,
with stocks of goods undergoing de-
pletion, the need for new supplies is
becoming more manifest. and pur-
chasing for the future Is, on the
whole, characterized by less hesita-
ton.
These are salient features of a stu
alton which, while leaving much to be
desired, discloses clear evidence of a
change for the better. The fact that
progress is still highly irregular, with
none at all yet visible in various
places, is not surprising, considering
the far-reaching reimbursement that
followed the wars ending and the diff
ficulties experienced during the tran
sition. Industries and trades in which
deflation was delayed are lasEards IN
the present movement toward rccov-
cry, but underlying conditions are un-
mistakably stronger, and note Of
cheerfulness now marks most reports.

FRUIT CROP FAILS IN
HARRISON COUNTY. w. VA.

HARRISBURG. W. Va, August
Harrison county's fruit crop this
season will be almost a total failure
according to Forest G. Hall, county
agent, who says the loss will be close
to a half hundred thousand dollars.
The loss Is due to frosts In April and
the intense heat in June and Ju,v
Hall says.
While the fruit crop is virtually n
failure this does not apply to all the
crops in Harrison county. The corn
crop gives every indication Of being
much better than in the majority OF
sections OF West Virginia, and. ia
estimated to be less than 10 per cent
below normal yield.
The potato crop is light. and will be
only about 80 per cent of an average
year. Wheat and oats are fairly rood
although black rusts and blight has
seriously injured these crops.

Labor Cost.
More Efficiency.
Costs of Strikes.
What Is the Remedy

In his latest work. Ellis Barker de
votes chapters to the labor cost of the
goods we eat and wear. He wants TO
reduce 1t. He finds it too high. But,
to the surprise Of many readers. he has
little to say about reducing wages.
How. then. would he reduce labor
cost, cheaper the products Of industry,
and so enable manufacturers to com.
pete more handily in the markets of
the world7
BY making labor more efficient; by
putting an end to soldering on the
job: by inspiring men to give a fair
days work for a fair days pay; by
meeting and defeating the common
propaganda in favor of the least pos.
sible work for the most possible wages.
Such an effort has as much interest
for America as for England. One has
only to open his eyes to see It,
A business firm in the East has just
published a long list OF contracts On
which Americans have completed in
foreign lands during the last three
months.
Most of the contracts were lost.
They went to Germany. Why? On &C
count of the cost OF labor. SO the bust
ness firm concludes that labor wages
must come down; that American bust
ness is blighted by high wages: that a
general readjustment of wage scales
is the need Of the hour.

BUSINESS IS At
CROSS ROADS AND
REVIVAL At HAND
Both Dun's and Bradstreet's
Agree That All Signs Now
Point to Trade Advance.

Previous reports OF current quiet
but Of increased optimism as TO the
future remain good at the moment OF
writing. Bradstreet's said yesterday
afternoon in the business review OF
the week. Indeed, II continues, II
Anything, the number OF favorable IN
dications has increased with the pass
age of another week, bringing nearer
the advent of regular fall trade. Per-
haps chief in Importance in the latter
direction may be put better realization
of the strength of commodity prices
during July, which, as shown by Brad
streets Index Number, have not only
held all the strength shown In June,
but added considerably to 1t In the
month just closed.
For the second month. In fact, prices
have advanced. and the net rise, main
ly due to higher prices for foods ana
cotton goods. Is now 4 per cent above
the bottom touched on June /.
Another favorable development OF
the week has been the apparent check
ing in most States. by more or less
copious rains. OF the deterioration
shown in the corn crop caused by past
heat and drought. 1t may be added,
however. that the crop prospect Is not
entirely favorable one.
The general crop prospect. except OF
corn, is indeed hardly up to the five
year average. and growing realization
of this fact. as we'll as past reports OF
good export buying of our grains. as
well as the feeling that agricultural
produce had been unduly depressed,
have, no doubt, been instrumental In
bringing about the rally in food prices
which has been the basis Of the appar-
ent sterilization Of commodity prices
as a whole in the past two months.
