many. many instances found themselves
compelled TO take over control In order
to scheme 80 as to- get their money
back. 'r.
One reason why price recoveries are
delayed is that bankers promptly order
merchandise or commodities or other
collateral thrown on the market i'm
medIately they can get out whole. They
are less Interested in the effect upon
the market than in getting in money
to clean up their loans.
The bankers life has not been par
ticularly happy for some time. Nor
is Utopia at hand just yet
Just as no tree ever quite reaches
heaven. so things never quite reach
the other place. Wall street acts as
IL it expects them to be. But Wall street
always is either in the clouds or in

FOREIGN TRADE DwINDLING.

Meanwhile our foreign trade is
dwindling and unemployment has In
creased. Our exports in January fell
more than 500. 100000 below the pre-
vious months and $97.0OO,000 below
last October's. Unless energetic
measures are taken to extend more
adequate credit facilities, our ship
ments abroad will shrink very much
further. Five million unemployed
(mcIuding almost 800, 900 railway
workers alone) surely is pressing
reason for doing something, even II
that something was not in vogue fifty
years ago. Too many of our veteran
leaders are given to looking back

A TRUE ANECDOTE.

Here's a true anecdote about Presi-
dent A. H. Smith Of the New York
Central His car happened to be
hooked on to train which had a
private car of a powerful banker
very prominent in railroad banking.
Usually railroad presidents approach
banking giants hat-in-hand. And the
bankers know 1t. This banker sent a
servant to inform Mr.. Smith that the
banker would be pleased to have him

elsewhere, and the upshot was that
the bankers in many cities, after
having Endorsed the plan, withdrew
their support and boycotted IL. This
is one reason why the formation of
this urgently-needed organization to
facilitate expectation OF our surplus
commodities and merchandise is
hanging fire.

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES
Not Needed Now.

Washington, Sept. l3.-(Special cor
respondence)-The way in which the
Republicans of Congress are not re-
ceiving support from their Democratic
colleagues in their campaign for econ
omy is illustrated by resolution in
troduced by Senator from Texas.
He would authorize the Committee on
Manufactures of the Senate to invest
igate "the practicability of establish
ing bureau of manufacture at the
seat of government for the purpose of
studying manufacture in all its forms
and diffusing information relating
thereto among the people of the Unit
ed States" At time when the ten
dency is towards cooperation of gov
ernment activities, and retrenchment
of expenditures wherever possible, the
establishment of such bureau would
be folly. The opportunity for develop
ment of a bureau of manufacture
would be almost limitless, until it
would easily exceed all others in cost
and personnel. OF course there would
also be vast duplication of work, as
the Departments of Labor and Com
merce and the Federal Commission
are now dealing with most of the sub
jects that a bureau Of that sort would
handle.

Transportation Tax Repeal.

The repeal of the transportation
taxes provided for in the new revenue
bill is looked upon by Congressman
Aaron S. Kreider of Pennsylvania -
the most important provision in tht
measure. The effect of those levies in
raising freight and passenger rates
discouraging shippers, and depressin;
industry has had most demoralizmG
influence throughout the country. Mr.
Kreider believes tnat no factor viii

ton of the nation than the relief from.

brings. The Congressman rendered
substantial aid by speech and vote in

Grain via Great Lakes.

Great Lakes barges are coming in
to New York City under their own
power, each carrying $4,000 bushels
of grain. They make the trip in les
time than it takes the roads to bring
similar freight from the same points
of origin, and at less cost. This is
the sort of competition into which the
