"Sixth-Prices yust be determined
by the demand at the point of con-

hundreds Of thousands of bushels of

of at places where people were buy

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Grain prices
scored an all around advance during
the early dealings. Buying on the
part Of bull leaders appeared to be
chiefly responsible together with a
lack of any aggressive selling. Pros

work under contemplation, to be
done if financial conditions will per-
NIT. Some Of the strong companies
have announced programs that have
been definitely adopted. Forecasts
OF capital expenditures are given by
the Railway Age as follows: Atchi-
son. Topeka e. Santa Fc. $4,000, 900:
Pennsylvania. more than $50.O00.0 900 !:
Illinois Central. $45 100000: South

Western $l5.00O,OOO; Erie $5,0OO..
100000. New York Central has, car.
ried over $lS.000.000 of unfinished
work.
Companies whose financial resour-
ces are not so certain are deferred
by the threats of adverse legislation
at Washington. Capital expendi-
lures call for new money and the
companies must go to the public
market with bonds or stocks for
sale. The congress of the United
States has the power to limit the
earnings of capital invested in rail-
roads, but no power to compel the
investment of new capital in rail-
roads. limitation upon its authority
which some members of that body
do not seem to take into account
If the railroads are let alone the
prospect is for large expenditures
upon them. and these will be an
important factor in the general
business situation.

be affected largely by the outlays

last six years. (see table)
Five cities OF the country report
expenditures in excess of $500, 0OO,-
900. and these five cities show in
creases or decreases as compared
with 1922. (see table)
A little more than one-half of the
construction was in these five cities.
There was a falling off of permits
during the Summer but an increase
in the last three months of the year,
which together with activity in new
operations gives strong promise of
large expenditures this year. Build

December, 1922. Winter work is on
a larger scale than ever before. In
New York City wages in the build
ing trades have been advanced so
cents per day under an agreement
running two years. Building mate
rails are slightly lower than in the
Spring of 1923. Over the country
generally building costs probably will
be about the same as last year. From
the amount of work actually under
contract it seems safe to predict that
building operations will be at about
the capacity of the industry, at least
during the first six months.
Railroad Expenditures
Next to house-building operations,
the railroads were the largest factor
in the business revival of last year.
They are estimated to have used q

their total capital expenditures were
about $l,076,000,00O. That part Of
their purchases of equipment which
represented requirements would be
charged to maintenance and their ex-
penditures under this heading were
unusually large on account of the
shipments strike in 1922.
The equipment is now in good
order, and the roads are we'll supplied
with rolling stock, as shown by the
