BREED OPTIMISM
Further Reductions This Week
viii Stimulate Firms
Which Need Credit.

Further reductions in rc-discount
rates of Federal Reserve Banks are
expected this week to feature develop
ments in the financial situation.
Drops below the present per cent
rate maintained by the Federal Re
serve Banks at Dallas and Minnea0o-
lis are predicted by banking circles,
following the sharp cuts made at
eastern and southern banks.
Government officials are confident
the cuts in re-discount rates will have
a stimulating effect upon business and
industry. The drops already author
lied apparently have given more
hopeful feeling among business in
terests needing credit support for
new development work.
The Federal Reserve Board Is now
engaged in a systematic study OF the
new credit difficulties OF industry
and agriculture. The board is par
ticularly concerned at this time with
the financial troubles of the farmers.
The farmers troubles will be solved
in part by re-discount rate ADJUST
ments. but the board il said to feel
that any additional means which may
be necessary must be supplied by the
Government. To this end Governor
Harding of the Board, and his associ-
ates in that body, are thoroughly
canvassing conditions.
The results of this survey will be
laid before the advisory council 10
the Federal Reserve Board, which Is
to assemble here early next week,
for further decisive steps to amelio-
ate condition in the farming and
other industries.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY

Point in Atlanta.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today suspended from May @ un-
til September 3 the operation OF GER
tain schedules in the Southern Rail-
way Company's tariff. The suspended
schedules propose to restrict at At
lanta, the point Of the Southern rail-
way interchange with each Of The
other lines reaching Atlanta, and pro-
vides that traffic will be inter
changed with connecting lines only at
the point indicated, and will not tie
accepted from, or delivered to. con-
nections at other points either direct

lines.
The proposed designated point OF
interchange at Atlanta between the
Southern railway and the Louisville
and Nashville is at Decatur street, and
industries more than three miles dis
tant from this point would be assess
ed a switching charge of IL cents fer
100 pounds, whereas the present
charge on coal. for instance, is $3.50
per car.

Dives Under ~" Train.

BOSTON, May e.-Before the eyes
Of hundreds OF persons, an un-
identified man leaped in front OF an
elevated train at the Washington
street station OF the Cambridge tunnel
yesterday. He was dead when taken
from beneath the train.
Several women who witnessed the
tragedy became hysterical and had to
be taken from the underground sta
ttca.
The Washington times., 1921-05-09

Healthy developments have crowd
Led upon one another so rapidly that
only the more significant can be even
mentioned.
The lowering OF commercial redis-
count rates at New York, Atlanta
and Chicago means not only that
rates will be reduced elsewhere. but
that the Federal Reserve Board has
at last been converted to the advis-
ability OF stimulating much eeded
recovery in business. Frozen cred
it's" are steadily being thawed out;
the clamor for credit facilities has
diminished; bank reserves have risen
to new high levels, and some $780,
o00,0 in gold has poured into this
country since the year opened.
Abroad, too. several bank rates
have been reduced. And-significant
OF faith in the outcome of the repa-
rations negotiations - the leading
foreign exchanges have all been NOV
ing to new high quotations for the
year.
In short, the Improvement in the
strictly financial outlook has been
most notable.
A OPTIMISM DEVELOPING.
Optimism has developed remark
ably ,--,.s 2 -. ~ ~
The New York Stock Exchange had
three million share days; there has
been at least a moderate increase in
1security buying by the public; many
stocks touched new tops" for the
year; bond quotations also advanced;
and new offerings have been well abb
sorbed.
Price movements, correctly inter-
preted. have been gratifying.
l. IA.
materials and merchandise, which had
been unduly depressed, have shown
unmistakable signs of recovery.
Wheat has done distinctly better.
Cotton has more than held it's own.
Wool and certain wooden goods
have advanced Silk and silk goods,
on renewed demand, have also moved
up. The whole dry goods business,
in fact. is in a healthier condition.
Dizziness and weakness in steel are
salutary. for the steel industry de-
layed general recovery by refusing
10 readjust prices promptly
Reductions in certain makes of
automobiles need occasion no alarm,
for, generally speaking, automobile
prices have not yet moved down COM
nenSurately with other things.
The cuts in tire prices will tell
severely upon many plants. but an
estimated saving OF well over $780,
600. 900 to tire consumers during the
kurrent year may do something 10
quicken buying.
The Washington times., 1921-05-09

restore the efficiency of labor and
to pave the way for more sensible
working agreements; the easing of
the monetary stringency will facili-
tate the raising OF needed capital;
the drop in steel and other materials
means that the railroad dollar will
go farther, and in time there will
doubtless be desirable rate changes
to stimulate traffic. Meanwhile, rail-
way securities are coming into some
what greater favor.
AN ADDED THOUGHT.
So much for facts.
One thought should be added The
American people are temperamentally
optimistic, energetic, progressive. The
majority have had surfeit of pes
simism.
Everyone Is now bent upon hasten.
ing the resumption OF normal activity
and the Punishment of depression. In
the highest financial circles fears
have been harbored Of premature
revival lest the process OF readjusting
wages and certain unjustifiably high
prices might not be carried out to the
point demanded by sound economies
However. events are gradually remov-
ing such fears.
The minds of the American people
have turned toward prosperity, and
there is every justification for expect
ing its realization-noti In a handicap,
but gradually, surely.
