The Outlook

point where it will be cheaper to send
gold in settlement of American debts
than to remit in the form of drafts.
Lira and Franc Move Up.
The rise in the Italian Ira to

the efforts of the Italian government,
with the help of the American loan,
to get its paper currency back on a
basis where a proposal for devalua.
ton, say in the ratio of five to one,
will not be so much of a shock. That
a similar solution confronts France
has long since been believed. If the
opinion needed any confirmation, it
was found in the imitation to new
maxima reported this last week both
in the French note circulation and in
sloans by the Bank of France to the
government.
The remarkable rise in Norwegian
and Danish currencies which started
a fortnight ago is taken to mean that
these two countries are about ready
to join the other on-belligerent ma
tions, such as Switzerland, Sweden
and Holland, whose exchanges stand
at or-as in the case of the first
named-better than dollar parity.
Trade Volume Big; Prices Low.
The difficulty with the trade situa-
ton is that while all the accepted
data, such as railway car loadings,
bank clearings and sales by the big
retail distributing concerns, point to
a very large volume, demand is not
running ahead of supply. Therefore

Rail Securities Strong.
Railway securities have been re
ceiving more attention since the dis
covery that the increased business of
the carriers reported in July was
done with no corresponding increase
in transportation costs. Gross ton
mage that month was Ia per cent
larger than July, 1924, but operating
expenses were only 3.5 per cent
larger, and this increased outlay took
account Of an added "A per cent for
maintenance of way and equipment.
The saving has come in the item
OF conducting transportation. This
saving is not, of course, the result of
wage reductions. Only slightly has it
been due to lower prices of materials
Principally it has occurred through
the greater efficiency and the econo-
mics effected by the abnormally large
expenditures on roadbed and equip
ment made necessary by the run
down physical condition in which the
roads found themselves at the end of
the period of Government operation.

NEW YORK, September Stock
prices underwent a sharp reaction this
week on selling originating with bear
traders Although some uneasiness
was felt over the possible adverse
economic effect of prolonged suspen-
sion of anthracite mining, there was
nothing in the weeks news TO bring
about the decline, which was generally
interpreted as a correction of a
weakened technical condition result
ing from speculative excesses of the
past few weeks.
AS a matter of fact. news and trade
DEVELOPMENTS of the week were
largely constructive in character.
They included the lowering of call
money rates and the retention of the

New York Federal Reserve Banks, re-
ports of expanding steel mill opera
tions, raising of the Frisco common
dividend from SIS to 81 annually and
the announcement that class 1, car

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 5.-The
two foremost features in the financial
situation at the week end are the great
ease in money at a season when in the
past there has ordinarily been increas-
ing tension, and second, the evidence
of an industrial production breaking
all records for this time of year.
With these fundamentals there can
be no ground fer apprehending much
of a setback either in or out of Wall
Street. The stock market went ahead
too fast in sorle directions early in the
Summer. This called for correction,
and so there came gradual sagging
during the latter part of August, fol-
lowed by two days of active selling at
the beginning of the past week.
Rise Gradually Resumed.
1t was an adjustment within the
market itself, without reference to gen
eral conditions. 1t put the Stock Ex-
change situation on a sound basis
again, and in the second half Of the
week operations for the rise were, in a
moderate way, resumed.
Too much has been made of the
magnitude of Wall Street loans, as if
these indicated an overspeculation
The increase in this class of credits
has simply conformed TO the increase
in the number of Stock Exchange is
sues which have to be carried with
borrowed money.
Price Average Well Up.
Along with this is the raising of the
general price average, due to the big
advance in high-priced industrials
where a split-up of capital into smaller
units has either occurred, or else is ex-
pected to occur
From the low of the year, which
was S61.57, on March 80, the price
average rose with scarcely any inter
ruption to S73.62 on August 25. 1t
went down $1.40 between August 25
and September 2, and has since recov.
cred nearly 81. Consequently the
present average is we'll up to the ton.
But the high levels have been brought
about by exceptional advances in in
dividual stocks and not by any great
rise in the market as a whole, such
as occurred in the Autumn of 1919
and the Spring Of 1928,
Inland Banks Cut Loan Rates.
The curious thing about the money
market during the past week is that
the decline in call loan rates from "
to per cent has been effected chiefly
by offerings of surplus funds by banks
in the interior. These banks, prepar-
ing for the crop moving, had drawn
down their New York balances, only
to find that there was more money
available in their own localities than
they had counted upon.
Now, at the time when evidence
multiplies of superabundance of
funds for home uses, the international
money markets are moving in favor
of gold shipments to this country. The
first result of Great Britain's return
to a gold basis was an accumulation
of gold holdings by the Bank of Eng

Must Protect Foreigners.

At the same time each of the powers
said it desired Ito impress upon the
Chinese government the necessity of
giving concrete evidence of its ability
and Willingness to enforce respect for
the safety of foreign lives and prop
erty and to suppress disorders and
anti-foreign agitation which embitter
feeling and tend to create conditions
unfavorable for the carrying on of
negotiations in regard TO the desires
which the Chinese government has
presented for the consideration of the
treaty powers.
In this connection it was made
plain to the Chinese government that
the mere establishment of courts and
the enactment of laws did not meet
the requirements of the situation.
Courts cannot function and de-
velop properly or consistently" the
identic notes read, without the aid
of stable government, capable and
willing to maintain them and enforce
their findings and decisions. 1t is
regretted that the inability of the
Chinese government during the past
few years fully to enforce the man
date of its authority has made it
difficult for the courts and judiciary
already established to function in a
normal manner"
