for Another Month.

Operation Of all schedules providing
general increase in ohe-way and
commutation fares on the lines of the
Washington-Virgini Railway Com
pany. which were filed by the COM
pany last February. was further sus-
pended today by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The original sus-
pension order elapsed June 49, The
commission today ordered a months
further suspension. the final suspen-
sion elapsing July 13. The second
suspension. which is made under the
commissions rules of practice, was
made to allow additional time for the
commission to study the evidence pre-
sented at oral hearings before Com
missioners Clark. Aitchison and
Meyer
The order issued by the commission
today forbidS the WaShington-Flr-
ginia Railway Company to change its
fares and charges and to change its
practices until the investigation and
suspension proceeding shall have been
disposed of or until the period of sus-
pension and any extension thereof has
expired, unless authorized by special
permission of the commission.
The suspended schedules, which
were filed by the railway company in
February, provide increased one-way

charges, commutat ton fares and the
cancellation of the twenty-five trip

before the commission it needed to
pay operating expenses,
Attorneys for the road, in summing
up their arguments before the com
mission. declared that the road needed
approximately sS50,000 additional
revenue year to put it on
sound nancal basis. They claimed
that this additional revenue could be
obtained by fiat increase Of 10 per
cent in the one-way fares and by
abolition of the twenty -five-trip
ticket. which they claimed was an in
justice to the road and failed to yield
sufficient revenue to justify it's con-
tinuance.

BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK. May 2s-WalT street
has shown again this week that it is
more concerned with the immediate
ings than it is with the continued inn
provement in the credit situation, or
the long range optimism commonly
expressed by leading business men.
The price movement on the stock ex-
change has been very uneven and
some groups have offered better re-
sistance than others to selling pres
sure But the market has been COM
PEELED to give its chief attention to
the cutting and passing of dividends
which is going on and to the indica-
tions in various lines of industry
that the readjustment of prices and
output has not yet been completed.
These have been the important con-
siderations for the moment, but the
time is coming. and 1t seems close
at hand. when the market for Securl-
ties will be more responsive to the
broader view of things.
This view stresses the many evi,
dences that commercial and financial
conditions throughout the world are
getting back to normal. First OF all
is the remarkable recovery in the
banking system. with the federal re-
serve Tatlo pack 10 the niS nese ~
nearly three years. Second. there is
the change in the economic position
of Europe from one of great uncer-
tainty to one OF decided promise.
The allied nations have balanced
their budgets, brought through care
full economy their purchases in the
foreign markets below the level of
their sales. and have within the last
six months been paying off war debts
at rapid pace.
Funding Foreign Loans.
The next step may be the funding
of our government loans to Europa
reckoned at some $4,000, 100000. This
was hinted at publicly by the Presi-
dent of the United States this week.
who made the point that these credits
would then become a live asset for
the benefit of the American people.
The obvious way in which such bene-
fit would be conferred would N6
Europe would pay on this funded debt
to meeting the interest on our own
war obligations. thereby lifting quite
a part os the present burden on the
Shoulders of the taxpayers.
In the third place there is the de-
flation which has occurred in prices.
in industrial production and in wages.
While it is true that in certain di-
rectionS this readjustment has not
been completed, this should not OBJ
Scure the fact that in many other
directions it has been very thorough.
1t is time that the old fetch of steel
being "the barometer of trade" was
abandoned. The history of the last
two decades contains several notable
instances where the general trade
movement has been only slightly af-
fected by very wide f1uctuation in
the steel business. Moreover, steel is
usually the last to conform to
downward swing in industry and the
last and most reluctant to recover.

TURN FOR THE BETTER SEEN IN
REVIEW OF INDUSTRIAL LINES
Indications. However, That in Some Trades
Readjustment Prices and Output Are
Not Yet Completed.

There is to be further cutting OF
steel prices; Judge Gary and the other
leading representatives of the in
dustry have said as much. But this
should not take away from the i'm
portance Of the turn for the better in
textile manufactures. in hide and
leather and shoes. in the distributive
trade and-more striking than any
in railway traffic.
Better Showing by Rails.
The excellent showing in railway
statements for April bears out the
other testimony. such as the idle car
statistics and the figures on car load
ing. to the effect that the railroads
passed through their darkest hour
two months ago, and since then have
been rapidly on the mend. One OF the
main cauSes-Scarcely yet appreciated
for the sudden slump in railway
traffic, beginning with the month or
January. was the violent decline in
our foreign commerce. AS the presi-
dent of the New York Central pointed
out to the Senate committee on inter
state commercve, the decrease of sS1--
100000 in exports for January ana
the $265.o0o. 900 decrease IN imports
by a falling off of 33.60O,000 tons in
the haul of the railways.
In March the export decrease rose
to S432, zoe. 900. while the reduction IN
imports amounted to 1912 100000. but
by that time the railroads had inau-
gurated their drastic program OF re-
trenchment and the effect OF this was
visible in the series of large increases
in net earnings despite the falling
off in GROSS The April accomplish
ments along this line were still more
signal than those of March.
Some Encouraging Figures.
What this means for the investment
community is we'll summarized by the
controller of the New York Central.

been running badly behind. Another
week or so will see a number OF other
industrial companies reducing or
passing their dividends. but this ac-
ton has been so well advertised IN
most instances that 1t is hardly likeiy
to have much further effect. So, too.
with other bad news lying ahead, such
as cutting of automobile prices. re-
duction in steel prices, poor quarterly
earnings statements-these are GER
tainly not material upon which to
build an upward movement in the
stock market.
Yet what has been proved in the
action Of many individual stocks dur
ing the last month or SO will before
long undoubtedly be true of the en-
tire list, namely. that such shocks
have been so well discounted that
when they come they have little effect
