PRAISE PRESIDENTS
VIEW ON RAILROADS.
Wall Street Financiers Much
Pleased With His Con-
gress Message.
Special Dispa atch 70 The Star


NEW YORK, December 3.-The in
teresting points in the financial situ-
alton today were the reaction of the
stock market to the Presidents an
nual message, the reception accord
ed the bond market to the announce
ment of the new Treasury loan and
the continued advance in sterling
exchange toward pre-war parity
The Street had learned the admins
tratlcn view on the question of a tax
reduction from the special message of
the day before. 1t merely saw in what
was recommended on this subject today
4 definite hope of further relief, but not
until after the end of the fiscal year
The particular concern lay in the Presi-
dents stand on the railroads.
Much satisfaction was expressed with
this part OF the message, although ths
cou d have scarcely occasioned surprise
Ii was known quite well beforehand that
the administration program called for a
certain length of time in which to invite
voluntary consolida ticns, following
which the Government would begin to
txert pressure 10 bring such cousolida-
tioIs about.
What financial circles were most
Interested in was, first, that there was
no suggestion TO adhere rigidly 10
the preliminary plans now before the
Commerce COmnli iSsion and, second,
hat there was no hint Of freight rate
reduction, unless IL could come about
reasonably through the economies an
ttcipated under the new regime.

NEW YORK, December 3.-"Pig
iron production gives the first den
mite measure of last months i'm
proyement in iron and steel" Iron
Age says. From 2,477127 tons for
81 days of October II advanced to g.
50s,s73 tons for the 30 days of No
vember. or from 7s.sO7 tons a day to
s3,657 tons, a gain of a,74s tons in the
daily rate. A more pronounced gain
is indicated by the fact that 81 fur
naces blew In in the month. while
only four blew out. fully two-thirds
OF the 81 going In after November l5
Thus the capacity of the 205 fur
naces active on December l was
ss,1o0 tons a day. or 1901 tons a day
more than that of the 1872 furnaces
in blast at the beginning Of Novem-
ber--a gain of 80 per cent The gain
in steel output has been greater than
that in pig iron and Is more marked
in the past week"
Both the Iron Age composite price
hgures are highcr this week .Ia,
iron going from s2o.54 to s2o.Tl. and
fin'shed steel from 25l7 cents to 1881
cents per pound. Pig iron is now
higher than 1t has been for six
months, after being at the lowest
four weeks ago in more than 30
months. Steel is at the highest point
since July, after being at the years
lowest a month ago.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
FOREIGN GOVERNMENT BONDS

FOREIGN GOVERNMENT BONDS.
A word or two more about foreign
bonds Is In order now that there are
so many new offerings for the ac-
count of both governments and in
dustrial companies in Europe and
South America. The intelligent in
vestor will want to know how to dis"
criminate among them. A few gen
eral rules can be stated, bearing In
mind that there are always eA-
ceptions.
The first and most important point
to be considered is the record OF the
borrowing government over long
period OF years. Has 1t always met
it's obligations punctually and COM
pletely? Have its people reputa-
tion for keeping their pledged word
in the matter OF it's finances? In
other words, what is the credit
standing of this particular govern
ment? To use an illustration, every
one knows that Great Britain fulfills
her agreements to the letter. AS
matter of fact, defaults on govern
ment loans are unusual, for the
simple reason that governments are
always in need of funds, and If they
voluntarily impair their own credit
IL makes 1t extremely difficult to
borrow next time.
And this brings us to the second
point, namely, the financial condition
OF the government whose security Is
under consideration. A government
may be entirely willing to pay but
unable. This also is a rare condition,
inasmuch as governments have the
taxing power and can provide funds
in this way to meet their necessities.
Still il will be found that foretSn n
bonds are rated more or l.ss in pro-
portion to the financial strength OF
the debtor. So 1t is wise TO make
some examination Of the immedlate te
financial condition.
The third point has TO do with the
polite cal side OF the question. Is the
government stable or - IL likely to
be displaced by revolution or other
wise? We al know what happened
10 the holders of Russian bonds when
the Soviet authorities took over the
Russian government. Even though
there may be no actual danger OF a
government being overthrown, a
minor insurrection is damaging to
its credit and so affects the market
brice of its bonds. Incidentally, an
active market for a foreign govern
ment bond is helpful in that the
fluctuations are a sort Of guide to the
way in which the financial com
munity as a whole appraises all
these risks.

FRENCH FRANC GETS
POWERFUL BACKING
Big Foreign Banks Furnish
Support, Which Arouses
Wide Interest.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
PARIS, December 3.-Bankers who
follow exchange operations closely
are convinced that the franc is being
powerfully supported. almost certain
iy by the Bank of France, although
great quantities of dol ars and pounds
are being placed on the market by
other banking interests notably the
Bank of Paris and the Netherlands.
Several reasons are attrihpted to
the French government for desiring
at this time to raise the value of
francs. One is to the influence of the
internal loss, the period of Subscrip-
ton for which runs for another week,
and to encourage the return from
abroad Of some FRENCH capital and
check the further outflow. Another
reason given is that it is desired to
improve exchange owing TO prospec-
tive wheat payments
Besides these specific purposes the
French government. in view of next
years maturities and the general
financial situation, is regarded as
having decided to improve Frances
exchange rates.
