THE FALL IN LIBERTIES.

A return to normal business activ-
ity may be expected to cause two cap
itaI movements of extraordinary in
terest. Not only will some corpora
tions, now holding their idle working
capital in the form of government and
other securities. be compelled to mar
ket their holdings. but other corpora
tions with impaired working capital
must float new issues in order to pro-
vide necessary capital equipment in
the face of the present shortage, &C
cording to DIR. Henry A. z. Chandler,
economist of the National Bank of
Commerce in New York. If these two
security movements occur simultane-
ously. he adds, a. somewhat acute
shortage of investment funds may fol-
low.
Slight declines in the quotations of
liberty bonds in the past few days may
indicate that the selling movement al
ready has set in. All issues are sew
eral points below the recent high
mark.
Not only must the United States
supply new capita for its own needs.
Doctor Chandler declares, but the
buying capacity of the rest of the
world must depend upon Americas
sharing its future capital accumula-
lions with Europe.
1.-THE capital problem is a world
problem and we cannot correctly esti-
mate future Il vements of capital in
the United States without viewing our
own special capital situation in the
light of that of the rest of the world, !"
he says. Notwithstanding our large
profits in 1915 and 1916 and impor-
tant extension in manufacturing ca
pacity in specific industries during the
war. he points out that the maIdis-
tribution of capital in this country
and the gigantic reduction of fixed
capital equipment in Europe has left
the world with a capital equipment
very inferior to that of the prewar
period.
Doctor Chandler questions the re-
liability of recent apparent evidences
of large capital accommodations in the
year 1921. While recognizing that
some capital accumulation always
takes place. even in periods of de-
preston, he believes that much of the
recent evidence of large loanable
funds during the last eighteen months
is but an indication of a shifting of
capital funds, and that so far as the
sum total of physical capital is con-
cerned the presence of funds in the
market is largely due to liquidation
of stocks of goods which. to a not in
considerable. extent, means final con-
sumption of goods and in part repre-
sents n reduction in the actual physi-
cal capital OF the country.

letters to another boy and tells him
she loves him better. She Will tell me
the same as she tells him.
I love her very much, but am per-
