Railroad Officials Optimistic

Officials of railroads operating east
ward from Chicago and st. Louis are
optimistic in their views, with the usual
qualifications in reference TO the handl :
cap of the coal strike. Aside from this,
nearly every industry would be pro :
viding more freight than year ago.
Steel and iron production is on a
much larger scale and this has increased
the amount Of freight of this kind ma :
terially. Building materials of all kinds
have been in demand, with prompt ship
ment one of the requirements. Grain
I movement is comparatively light, but
the movement from the farms will In
crease. Railroads are well equipped to
handle the grain traffic and have dis.
tributed cars to vantage points.
Most of the long haul grain traffic is
naturally going via lake. but there has
been considerable business east of Buff
falo and Eastern lake ports. Less than
carload freight is picking up and the
demand for general merchandise IS evil
IDENTIFY brisk.
Officials of Southern lines report n
good movement of general merchandise.
large shipments of lumber and building
material, with q larger tonnage Of iron
and steel products. The season was ex-
cellent for the movement of produce to
Northern markets.
Preparations are under way for n big
movement of wheat to the Gulf ports
for export as soon as the winter wheat
Is available, and officials look for good
business for the next few months.
Better Collateral Value
In an effort to establish better COL
lateral values in banks and to stabilize
the American market in foreign cur
rency, government, provincial and
municipal securities, the American Ex-
press Company has just issued n second
edition of its comprehensive quotation
list for foreign currency securities.
That list, which contains quotations, all
in American dollars, of the principal
government bonds of the world, is be-
ing sent to investment dealers and
banks throughout the country. The 100
securities quoted are described in four
teen currencies, and they cover five con-
tinents and thirty five nations.
"A reliable and comprehensive quo.
tation service has been the only ele-
ment lacking in the newly developed
nation wide market for securities ex-
pressed in foreign currencies,' de-
clared Perry B. Strassburger, general
manager of the securities department of
sue, as market conditions vary, these
quotations in order to develop a strong
er foundation for this essential field of
foreign investment.

National Bank Resources

Referring to the condition Of ma
tional banks, shown by reports to his
| Office, as of the close of business May
s. the Comptroller Of the Currency
| said:
The combined resources Of all re.
porting national banks May . were
| $50. .176. .64S, 900 and were greater than
Mt the date of any previous call since
April 90, 1921, with but two excep-
tions, the amount of reduction since
the latter date being $3.50, ,GG7 900 and
since June 30. 1921. the decline has
amounted to S341 PA 900. The con-
tinued liquidation of loans and dis
counts, with the apparent tendency to
increase holdings of United States Gov
ernment securities. and other miscel-
laneous bonds and securities. with COR
responding reductions incident to liabil-
ity for borrowed money and rediscOunt
paper, and noticeable increase in in
dividual deposits. appear to warrant
the conclusion that our national banks
are in condition to render ample as
sistance to the merchant, the agricul-
turist or whOmsoever may have legiti-
mate demand for financial relief.
Between March 10 and May 5 the
loans and discounts, including redis-
counts Of national banks. declined
sos, 463. 900, and on the latter date
amounted to $11.1S4, 49, 900. while the
reduction in the year, or since April
2S. 1921, was 81, ,172,514. 600.
The deposit liability of national
banks on May was $15 .766 .9SS 900.
an increase of 1916. $50 900 since March
10. 1922. and an increase of 1915, 20, {.
900 since April %, 1921.

New York Central Movement

The manner in which New. York
Central acted in the trading Of the last
few weeks was looked on as significant
of accumulation of that stock by strong
banking interests in connection with
important developments understood to
be close at hand in connection with the
unifcation of the system. The purchase
Of the minority holdings Of the Cincin.
natl Northern, a little over a week ago,
was asserted yesterday to be In line
with other steps for solidifying the sys-
TEN and completing physical absorption
of various subsidiaries.
1t is insisted by some that the next
step in this direction will be the ex-
change of Rutland preferred for New
York Central stock, although no init
nation of such intentions has come
from the New York Central manage
mcnt.

Those who form their ideas
respecting the daily news from the
headlines, if they happened to be
seeking their pabulum in certain of
our exchanges, must be under the
impression there was = prison reform
convention in Augusta on Friday.
Here is what glared at them from
the front page reports of the conven-
ton of the Maine Forestry Associa-
ton: THE Contingent Fund Is a
Menace; Also Condemns Methods of
Old Time lobbyists" And another
shricks: "Maine's Governor Hits at
Lobbyists"
Perhaps somewhere in all this one
may find a cure for the white pine
blister, a program for conservation,
facts regarding the value of land for
purposes of raising forest crops, how
to dispose of the slash, how to CO.
operate for solution of the problem
which undoubtedly confronts us, a
very important problem say those
who have spent a lot of time and
money in considering it. Perhaps the
"old time lobbyists" If they can be
found, might sit down and tell us how
to go about it,

REGARDING AVIATION

The French government Is COM
mitted 10 the policy Of encouraging
aviation. II wishes to have intimate
air communications with territories
In Africa and Indo- China. France
has a special aviation bureau and
distributed nearly thirty million
francs in subsidies last pear. 1t is
also conducting research work in
construction and is making ex-
haustive tests of an all metal con-
struction with lightweight alloys,
also the directing of machines from
the ground, this being done for safety
IN testing out new machines and
methods. The need of perfecting the
eeropane motor is receiving special
attention. The depreciation on one
Of these. which costs $4,000, is 5000
Tor the round trip between Paris and
Warsaw. The present motor runs for
200 hours as n maximum.
The French are operating $3.50
miles Of air lines and during the first
elk months. of 1921 carried 1888 pay
Ing passengers. There are three in
fernational lines in operation and
these carried $4,000 pounds of
freight during those six months and
had but eight accidents. four of
which were fatal.
In the United States the govern
ment contributes very little to the
development of the air service. The
wadsworth- Hicks bill now before
Congress and which is expected to
pass In some form will remedy this
condition somewhat. The Govern
ment has maintained an air mail
service the performance Of which has
been creditable. Our transcontinental
route is said to be recognized the
world over as a model. This in
eludes night flying and all the facili-
ties for it. During the past year
1900 airplanes operated by civilians
carried approximately 275.oO0 passen-
gers s,5o0,000 miles. but there are no
laws for regulating this or prevent
Ing foodhardincss or incompetency in
management. There was an increase
during the year of twenty percent in
the passenger service and the acct
dents were comparatively few. The
number of people convinced that
aviation properly conducted is rea-
sonably safe is large and their influ-
ence for proper legislation is becom-
ing strong. Notwithstanding the
evident lack of public concern for
maintaining competition with other
countries in the proper development
Of aviation the results are encourag-
Ing.
