Federal Financing in Decem.

Withdrawals Rotate.
BY r. A. FLEMING.

Railway common was clearly the
leader in business on today's session
nj the local stock exchange. The
shares gradually strengthened from
an opening at 55% to a strong closing
at sc. with transactions in all OF
Dinety-two shares.
Preferred shares brought 761e.
With the exception of q sale Of
Farmers and Mechanics National
hank stock at 225 q share, the rest OF
the market action was entirely in the

strength.

1t is understood that it is not the
intention of the gas company to sell
say more 7ia per cent notes at this
lime. but that the remainder Of the
authorized notes will be used as COL
lateral for bank loans.
Banks Not Borrowing Freely.
With the combined ration of fed

il is plainly evident that the banks
OF the country are not rediscOunt-

by the same sign it Is further shown
that they have ample resources to

also for any emergency that NAV
arise.

Federal financing causes temporary
hurries of strength. but the Treas

AS an offset against will be the
payment of the fourth and last in
stallment of the income taxes for
1921. and the lessening of the amount
payable by the amount of victory
notes and certificates exchanged for
Treasury AZ per cent notes.
These figures suggest another Bit
OF financing by the Treasury. and
might even have warranted the ac-
ceptance of a much larger amount OF
bids than allotted by the Treasury

The general opinion is that the
form of credit loans will be certi-

PROPOSED GARAGE
MEETS OPPOSITION

Strong opposition to the erection
Of a public garage on 18th street
between Florida and Wyoming ave-
nues developed at q hearing before
the coming commission today.
Walter B. Guy. attorney for the
proponents of the project. said his
clients felt that they had so planned
the building that it would not prove
an annoyance or Inconvenience to any
one He explained that the garage
would be practically all undergoing
and a considerable distance back
from the street, with apartments on
the front of the ground.
Mr.. Guy stated he had the consent
Of the required IS per cent of prop
erty owners of the square, including
the Dean tract, which Is owned py the
Masonic fraternity.
Louis A. Dent, appearing for the
owner Of the wyoming apartment
the garage had the required per-
centage OF consents.
Mr.. Dent asserted that the original
map of the highway system OF the
city gave the Dean tract separate
square number, namely, 2Sst: whereas ss
volvedf was designated as square
M. Dent said some years after the
original map was prepared pencli
mark was drawn through the nuHueI
es34 on the Dean tract. leaving 1t
part of 1885. He contended, how
ever, that the entire area was given
one number merely for convenience
in keeping the records. and that the
Commissioners are bound by the org
inal map.
Henry e. Davis. who lives in the
vicinity Of the proposed garage, told
the commission that automobile traf,
fic already is heavy on 18th street ana
that II the new garage ie permitted
the name Of 18th street might have
to i be changed to "Manslaughter
lane
The testimony showed that the ga
rage would accommodate 400 ma
Mr. Davis further testified there
ara a large number Of children who
play daily on that part OF ;9th street
whose lives would be endangered by
the garage.
Several other property owners on
lsth street supported the objections
Of Mt Davis and Mr.. Dent.
Mr. Guy announced in opening the
hearings that his clients would con-
slider any reasonable compromise in
erecting the garage 90 as to reduce
the objection to q minimum.
Opponents OF the project occupied
practically all Of the morning session.
Mr.. Guyswill reply to their objections
later in, the day.

SPECIAL Dixpatca to The Star
NEW YORK. October 2S.-The main
question before the security market
for the past week has been whether
the decline in prices was merely q
over-rapid advance. or whether it
betokened a real change in temper
regarding the general business out
look. SO far as stocks are concerned
there has been little evidence OF in
vestment liquidation. The selling has
come almost altogether from the
speculative element. which. in order
to justify its attitude. has professed
disappointment over what it terms
the slow pace Of industrial recovery.
AS a matter OF fact. however. affairs
csely, according TO intelligent calcu-
lations. as they were formed AT the
outset OF the year.
Csaservatives Expected No Boom.
Nobody but the extremists has ever
a mad trade boom this autumn or
winter. or even next year. All that
was looked for was a return to condi-
tions Of tho average pre-war period
"a fair volume Of production yield
factory profits.
The stock exchange during it's two
campaigns, the first in the spring. the
second in the midsummer. had mo-
lnents when 1t lost sight of those
conservative ideas. 1t went ahead
was almost hs wild as in the days Of
inflated war profits and abnormal
prices. These excuses called for q
correction, and II is this corrective
process which was witnessed In Sep
tember and again during the last
week.
Bond supply Overtakes Demand.
In the bond market the position is
different. Here 4 real change has oc-
CURED in outside surroundings and
the change IL twofold. On the one
hand, what between the enormous
output Of new securities during the
sion of capital into commercial chan
nels. supply has overtaken demand.
On the other hand, because more
money is needed to conduct the coun-
try's business than was the case six
or even three months ago. interest
have worked somewhat higher.
Consequently investment values,
dependent as they are principally
upon the rate OF money interest. have.
stopped moving up and are of very
considerably from their peak OF six
weeks ago The selling of United
States government bonds is especially
Illustrative of these altered condi-
tions Undoubtedly much Of the sell
ing OF the liberties has been due to
the desire of banks and mercantile
corporations to have more cash on
hand.

BUSINESS MOVING EXACTLY
AS EXPERTS HAD ANTICIPATED
Conservatives Expected No Wild Boom
Investment Supply Ahead of Demand
IN Bond Market.

The new Treasury loan. at dis
count OF 1 per cent. has come down
sympsthetfcally. But spart from the
more direct explanation the stSnia,
can't thing is that investment capital
has ceased to be satisfied with Z
per cent return on the highest grade
security. A good many people make
the mistake OF inferring from the
oyersubscription to the new govern
ment issue that the Treasury could
have succeeded in borrowing at
per cent rate.
The fallacy of this assumption is
now apparent At the same time II 10
made clear that the total of the sub.
scriptions was not q fsfr measure ef
the investment resources availabie
the total represented merely specula-
tive bids by bond houses and other
dealers who figured that the new loan
would command a premium anil that
they could turn a profit. Had the
public been as eager for the bonds as
they seemed to be on the surface. the
demand would have been sufficient to
keep the price at par
European Ecsnsmfxlng Has Ltmit.
In advance of the October foreign
trade figures, which will not be cut
for another three weeks, it will be
impossible to discuss intelligently the
effect of the new tariff schedules. If
imports slump off it will be good eco
nomic theory to conclude that because
we are buying less from other ns-
tions they will not be able to buy as
much from us. The practical side of
the matter. however. is that foreign
countries have a certain minimum re-
quirement in food, raw materials and
in certain manufactured products
which they must supply from the
American market.
I'M
actually reached during the last
twelve months, has undoubtedly been
pretty closely approximated.
Normal Buying Power Needed.
Meanwhile conditions at home have
adjusted themselves to this compare
lively small volume in the foreign
trade. 1t has been found that our
business enterprises get along fairly
well on the domestic market alone.
This does not mean. of course. that
return to something like normal buy
ing power abroad is not a thing
greatly to be desired from the Amer
lean standpoint. 1t is the only con-
ceivable way in which the country
can get back to really fourishing
times. But the picture put out by
a we'll known English economist in
an address this week-of the whole
world facing ruin because of the new
American tariff dutfes-is so over
drawn that it hard TO treat it with any
degree of seriousness.
Statements of this sort are apiece
with the predictions which the finan-
cfal Jeremishs were broadcasting q
year ago-that Europe. with her de-
preciated currencies and with what
was thereby assumed her Abnormally
low productive costs. would flood the
markets of the world with cheap
goods and practically destroy the in
dustrial part of our export trade
altogether.
