showed an increase of over 20 per
cent as compared with 1919. The av-
erage length of haul, however. was 259
miles, decrease of 80 per cent, SO that
the business done, measured in ton
mileage of revenue freight, was greater
by 6.S4 per cent in 1920 than in 1919.
The Great Northern increased it's al
ready high revenue trainload from 663
in 1919 to ga in 1920 To some ex-
tent, of course, allowance must be
made in comparing the Great Northern
trainload and carload with other trans
continental roads for the large amount
of ore which the Great Northern
handles from the Missabi Range to Du-
luth. Iron ore, which constitutes about
az per cent of all the tonnage handled
by the company, showed an increase in
1920 of 100000 tons. The grain
movement was lighter in 1920 than in
1919, Notwithstanding better crops in
1920. This was due, the companys re-
port says, to the fact that consid-
cradle amount Of the 1918 crops were
moved in 1919 and to the fact that the
low prices of grain in 1920 caused the
holding back of shipments.

mended the action of the federation at
its recent convention in Denver in de-

"The Treasury has exerted every eff

upon the people generally the impor-

piete with surprises, but the future of
investments issues is less inscrutable
than that of speculative stocks. That
Is why they attract those who are too
prudent to assume the great risks at
tendant about buying chance.
1t was expected that the month Of
July would mark improvement in the
bond market. Yet the persistency of
the squirt has perhaps been beyond an
ticipations. At midyear coupon clip
ping additionally releases great CO.
agulations of funds Cor reinvestment
| This special demand early in July was
the spark that released the explosive
tendencies to rise. The upturn has
been accompanied by the reduction of
the rediscount rate by four Federal
Reserve banks, by the Bank Of Eng
land and the Bank of France. More
over, call money rates fell to the lowest
quoted in three years. Time funds be-
came available at SIX per cent. Further
more, the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, in its monthly bulletin, informed
member banks that the time had come
for wise relaxation of credit.
Given the spectacle of rising prices,
which always of itself is enough to at
tract buyers, and these collateral in
dices that a period of credit easement
had arrived, the market had the va
rious elements needed for a. rally
With the prospects eventually of lower
taxes, if not this year, wealthy men
were tempted to & slight degree to en-
ter again the market for taxable bonds
which seemed to have possibilities for
appreciation of principal. The main
! buyers, however, have been institutions
and multitude of individuals of mod
crate means.
The future of tax exempt securities
is already causing discussion. If taxes
were slashed the exemption feature
would forthwith become less valuable,
and one might properly expect a de-
cline in the market. No less an au-
thority than Senator Penrose; of the
Finance Committee of the Senate, was
quoted in the Washington dispatches
of losing hope of the prospects of this
year cutting taxes or government ex-
penditures substantially. Representa-
tive Fordney. Of the Ways and Means
Committee, is more sangune about the
\ possibility of making the Federal gov
eminent less a spendthrift.
Assuming, however, that taxes are
cut, as long as any surtaxes remain
exempt securities will remain an al
Turing refuge for the excessively rich.
But with lower taxes the tax exemp-
ton feature will obviously become less
valuable. If no offsetting influences
were at work tax exempt bonds would

But ss money rates decline these prime

likely to more than overbalance the
loss resulting from tax revision.
Moreover, tax exempt bonds, because
of the recent scarcity of capital in
proportion to the demand, are selling
on much higher yield basis than be-
fore the period that the income tax
was adopted in this country.
Despite the renaissance of the hear
party toward the close of last week,
speculative stocks remained fairly
steady. Early in the week thew were
definitely firm. Then weakness in spe-
cial stocks halted the upward move
lnent of the industrials, as short sell
ing increased in volume. Under the
stimulus of expected benefit from the
program which President Harding laid
before Congress on Tuesday railroad
shares tended to move moderately up

Brokers with an expert eve and with
access to the precious books report
that at least 60 per cent of the present
business in stocks is for the account

with this movement there is a steady
absorption of issues by outsiders.

In a quiet way there has been a con-
siderable resumption of railroad buy
ing. AS yet this has affected only the
companies dealing directly with rail
road purchasing agents, but as orders
are being placed with these companies
they in turn may be expected to place
orders for raw materials. and many in
dustrials will be indirectly benefited by
the resumption of railroad buying. Fol
lowing the panic of 19O6-'07, the first
big important step toward resump-
ton of prosperity was the resumption
of railroad buying. The lumber indus
try will be affected not only by direct
railroad buying but also by the buying
of lumber by equipment companies if
orders are placed for equipment.

three per cent of the number OF ma.
tionals of any country in the United
States at the time of the 1910 census.
Three amendments were adopted by
the house. One would permit admis.

OF all aliens clearly proving they had
been subjected to religious persecution
in their native land and were seeking
refuge here solely to avoid such hard,
ships.
The second would admit children OF
American citizens under Is years of

limitation, and the third would give
preference to the families and rela-
tives Of American citizens and former
service men h~onorably discharged
from the army or navy regardless Of
whether they had been naturalized in
determining the question of Admissible
tY under the restricted total.
The principal fight was over an
amendment offered by Representative

the gates to political refugees. This
was lost after a long debate, which
caused Representative Mondell, re-
publican leader, who said that, under
