London Is Still Supreme
AS World Money Lender
New Issues Total 50, ,245 ,OOO,-
600 for First Half Year; For
eign Bonds Gaining Here

In any examination Of the factors
underlying the increasing prominence
Of foreign issues among the new secur-
ity offerings in the United States, Lon
don's traditional position as money
lender to the world cannot be disre-
garded, according to "The Guaranty
Survey" published by the Guaranty
Trust Company.
Capital funds raised in England by
public subscription in 1920 and in 1921
declined sharply in amount in compari-
son with the six preceding years but
remained, at $1,838, ,000, 900 and Sl,945.-
100000. respectively, we'll over the
average annual pre-war aggregates" :"
the survey says. "New issues of the
first half of 1922 were S2,245, 900, 900,
which surpasses all records for whole
years if the war period be dsregarded.
National and local governments have
received the major share of invest
ment capital sent abroad by Ameri-
cans. An interesting feature of the
financing oonsummated in the United
States in the first half of the current
year. however, was the notable upturn
in the volume of corporation stocks
and bonds put out here by foreign COM
panies domiciled elsewhere than in
Canada. The $83,0O0,OOO recorded in
this connection exceeds reports for
previous full years.
With the greatly augmented domes-
tic demand for capital in England it is
not surprising that foreign borrowers
have looked to the American market.
Funds sent to foreign counties in the
last two and a half years have aggre-
gated $1,605.000, 600 for America.

| In a certain state in which this
question was being threshed out the
commission disallowed this item as
has the Idaho commission. Before
the matter was thoroughly settled
there came a dry year and the crops
were burning up and the unused ir-
rigation equipment, not working
because several years before the
form of irrigation had changed and
the power company's equipment had
since lie idle therefore causing the
utilities commission to eliminate it
from the rate-making physical valua-
ton. At the most critical time the
electric company turned on it's plant
and saved the crops. The commission
saw the point and restored the prop
erty In the valuation sheets.
The Public Utilities Commission
says the Power company cannot put
this property into the rate-making
valuation for full rate-mak-
ing purposes, cannot discontinue the
service, must take loss on the bust
ness and not make it up elsewhere.
The commission may be right but
the Journal is of the opinion that fair
play demands its inclusion.
The commission was certainly right
in eliminating the old Shoshone l.. &,
w. Co. plant, land and buildings.
At any rate, the consumer is gamer
by from 100000 to $1,000, 900 over
the valuation of s22,oOo,oOo set by
the company as its valuation.
