GULF TRADE ROUTES
TO BE CONSOLIDATED
Seven Operators to Supplant Nine
for Six Month Trial-No
Tonnage Cut.

Partial approval was given by the
Shipping Board yesterday to the
recommendation of President Palmer
dating the governmental gulf
trade routes. The merger. although
a trial proposition for six months,
will take effect imm ediately. the
nine operators being reduced to
seven. There will be no reduction in
tonnage. now comprising 101 vessels
Mr.. Palmer had recommended a cut
to ninety-five.
In accordance with the stipula-
tions of the merger agreement. all
of the operators have signified their
willingness to sever any foreign con-
nectiors that are in di. ect competi-
tion with Shipping Board vessels
The board at first rejected the
Palmer proposals, because il thought
further economies could be effected
through the dropping and consoli-
dating of greater number of oper-
ators. Further consideration, how
ever. was given to the recommen-
dations at a meeting of the board
with Mr.. Palmer Yesterday and the
board later announced it had ap-
proved in part the Fleet Corpora
tion presidents original plan. Should
trial of the Palmer merger indicate
during the six-month period the
necessity of further combinations,
the board announced. action will be
taken to bring them about.

time will pass it over his disapproval.
That and other special bills calling
for appropriations do not fit in with
tax reduction measure as many
New York business interests view the
situation. Some of these men fear
that Congress will defeat the intent
of tax reduction by appropriating so
many millions in addition to the or
binary appropriation bills as to create
treasury deficit. Others believe that
the treasury will have to revise its
figures at the end of the year and
that the surplus will be so much larger
than the sum estimated as to take
care of these special appropriations
and tax reduction too.
Security Values Drop.
On the stock exchange, security
values have dropped on an average
10 points from the high level of few
months back. Stocks have shrunk. in
market value. not less than S5,000,-
100000 within little more than
month. Wall street is in a bearish
mood and further decreases are ex-
pected.
A remarkable situation which has
not been satisfactorily explained here
lies in the fact that while wages are
holding firm. prices of commodities
have dropped, on the average at an
estimated per cent or more since the
middle of February. Industrial stat
isticians, basing their figures on gov
eminent and private research. claim
an average wage advance during the
past twelve months amounting to
about 10 per cent.
Seldom, if ever before has Wall
street seen falling prices and rising
wages at the same time. The d.
vergent trends cannot by any posi-
bility continue long as economists here
see. Either wages must fall or prices
increase and business interests gen.
orally are preparing for either con-
tingency.

EYE ON LEGISLATION
Tax Reduction Is Ranking
Factor Under the
Microscope. y
EYE ON LEGISLATION
BY HARDEN COLFAX

Copyright. 1924. by Consol. Press Assn.
New York, April 12.-Industry is
beginning to set its house in order
against the uncertainties of an cleo
tion year. Straws. in the wind show
the current to be in the direction OF
falling commodity prices, somewhat
reduced volume of activity, hand-to.
mouth buying policy, a shrinkage for
the moment, in security values, and a
greater degree of caution in planning
for the future.
What Congress will do and how the
elections will go; the fate of tax re.
duction and the unmeasured strength
of the so-called radicals in politics
Germany's attitude toward the Dawes
proposals and the crop prospects OF
our own farmers; possible wage de.
mands; the ability of the consumer
to absorb the huge production sched-
.ules planned for 1924-these and 9th
er less related factors appear to be
under the microscope as business lin
gers on the threshold of minor post
war readjustment period.
OF these factors, tax reduction per
haps ranks first. Some of the great
est combinations of capital are inclin-
ed to doubt today the likelihood of any
tax reduction this year. Thought has
not crystalized to the point of giving
reasons in support of this doubt, but
the doubt is there. Some of the lead
ers call it "hunch."
Doubt Breeds Caution.
Other business and financial organi-
cations look for a tax reduction law
quite of the complexion of the bill al
ready passed by the House. They be-
lieve this law win be enacted in the
confusion and hurry of the last few
days before Congress adjourns. They
do not regard the House bill as con-
tanning the measure of relief for which
they hoped. They feel that such a
law would be more like q handful of
crumbs than half loaf. Hence they
are cautious.
Business interests generally are al
most ready to concede passage of the
soldier bonus bill. They believe tn,
bill will stick. There is a division Of
opinion as to whether the President
will veto the measure in its presen
form. Even If he should veto il, tn,
impression prevails that Congress thi,

ply with such an outlook as the pres
ent. The rule, to put it in four words.
is keep your assets liquid" The
present depression in security values
is ascribed to the application of that
rule. As stock prices fall. bank de-
posits here are mounting. Wall street
apparently is liquidating some of the
assets which it regards as slow sales
+ in time of readjustment, and the
movement, it is believed. is carry ing
the whole list downward.
To the liquid asset policy. also is
attributed the moderate decrease in
business activity as measured, for in
stance by. the falling off in freight
traffic. Few buyers are stocking up
on falling market and the policy OF
cautious purchasing is being felt, to
some extent. in curtailment here and
there in manufacturing and other
lines.
Nobody, however, expects a major
reimbursement. Business generally Is
expected to continue good, although
further shrinkage in its volume is
looked for.
