mand for lower railway rates,
it is feared, may check ex-
tensive purchasing of equip
ment, ETC., by the railroads,
particularly since it has not a
little to do with the stimula-
ton Of business activity during
recent months.
The wintry weather naturally
slowed up building activity.
Disclosures that Washington
is strongly opposed to modify
ing the present restrictions on
immigration have not helped in
dustrial or financial sentiment,
and particularly as the agricul-
tural element apparently in
dorses this attitude.
Conditions in Europe still ex-
cite concern, especially in inter-
national and commercial circles.
All Of which reminds me Of
the description applied by the
late King Edwards tailor to q
vast gathering at one of the
Kings receptions. Strolling
pompously up to q balcony
where the King was surveying
the assemblage, the knight of
the needle, who had become
very rich because of the royal
patronage he had received, OBJ
served as he tremendously fixed
his eyeglass, "Rawther a mixed
crowd here tonight, Your
Majesty" "i am very sorry
you don't like my guests" re-
piled the King, "but we can't
all be tailors."
Just at this juncture, I feel
more disposed to chronicle hap
penings than to draw dogmatic
deductions therefrom. feel like
saying, with the old-fashioned
Snowman, "pay your money, gen.
tlemen, and take your choice"
Even so, however, I would sub
scribe, for the time being, at
least, to this quip, perpetrated
by newspaper wit: "Trade sta
tistics indicate that we have
reached that stage of the busi-
ness cycle known as the buy
cycle"

Of the last year. Through stock
dividends and reductions in par

will be necessary to have an active

To make the stocks look attractive
to the prospective speculator and

to be made. For this reason the
street will soon begin to hear re-

Europe is not nearly as bankrupt

peared in the bond market as sub

been especially heavy in British.
Dutch and Canadian securities. An
authority states that approximately
$7,500.000 of the s20.000,000 IN per

Sees Overdevelopment
Of Soft Coal Industry

The bituminous coal mining in
dustry is overdeveloped, the United
States Coal Commission declared
yesterday, as the result Of its pre-
liminary study Of the industry.
There are too many soft coal mines
and too many miners.
Estimates Of the excess mine ca
pacity range from 80 to 60 per cent
above the country's normal de-
mand. For the last five years this
demand has averaged $4,000. 900
tons a year. The average daily
output last year, based on 300
working days, would have resulted
in $40. 900 900 tons, or 60 per cent
amove the country's normal need.
The industry should not be fur
ther inflated by opening new mines,
the commission declares.
