SMALL POWER
DROP LISTED

NEW YORK, Nov. 90 GN.sJ.
Electric production last week
showed a small decrease from the
preceding week but a wide gain
over the comparable 1882 week
which included the Thanksgiving
holiday, the Edison Electric Insti-
tute reported today.
However, due to the holiday
last year, percentage comparisons
are not made by the institute.
Production last week totaled
1907 SAG, 900 kilowatt hours against
1877, ,249,000 in the preceding
week and 1,475,268,0 900 in the
week ended November rs last
year.
A gain also is shown over 1881
when the Thanksgiving holiday
was included in the November 28
week and electric output dropped
to 1888. 100000 k. VIII.

Big Rail Equipment
Business Predicted

Confronted with the problem
Of curtailing costs during the
past four years, railroads not
only have restricted their capital
expenditures to about 10 per cent
OF the pre-depression annual aver
age of 1898, 100000. but also have
allowed substantial amount of
deferred maintenance to accu-
mulate, says the Standard Stats
tics Company, adding:
ut is estimated that in order
to place their properties and
equipment in proper condition
and on a pre-depressiOn basis,
the railroads of the United
States would have to spend at
least $7OO,OOO,OOO on roadway
and tracks; $500, 100000 on
locomotive maintenance; $780,.
100000 on freight cars, and
$7O.OOO,OOO on passenger cars,
or an aggregate Of $1,27O,OOO,-

ers. public works and civilian
works. Some is due to weather
and seasonal conditions.
All this does not furnish basis
for sustained recovery, but it is
good to find business able to re-
spond to seasonal impulses, and
more active than it was a year
ago.
Yet commodity prices turned
distinctly weak. The weekly aV-
erages were all lower. No doubt
this is partly due to the reduced
certainty as to initiation. But in
part we may attribute it to the
large stocks of many commodities,
and to the disturbing effects Of
the processing taxes on agricul-
tural commodities.
The break in hogs and meats
is connected with the last factor.
For example, the processing taxes
on corn threaten to raise livestock
feeding casts and thus cause sales
of livestock.
Higher Lumber Prices
Increased buying of lumber,
however. has brought higher
prices. There appears to have
been no increase in building, but
under their new code the lumber
producers are going to fix higher
minimum prices, so dealers are

One sure thing is that the Gov

BRITISH EXPORT
TRADE SPURTS

Great Britain's export trade
rose IL per cent in October over
a year ago. and export trade for
the first 10 months Of the year
amounted to about 100000
pounds over that for the same
period in 1892, the Commerce
Department reports.
Export trade increased to Scan
dinavia and the Baltic countries,
Germany. Poland, Western Eu,
rope, Italy. Rumania. the United
States, Latin America. and most
countries of the British Empire.
The rise in export trade to the
United States is interesting in
view of the fact that the pound
a year ago was cheap compared
to the dollar and is now about SO
per cent higher than it was then.
Exports to Soviet Russia, Spain,
the Irish Free State, China. japan,
Hong Kong and New Zealand
fell off.

CLOTH MARKET QUIET

NEW YORK, Nov 29 S).-The
coarse yarn cloths market continued
quiet today but gave no evidence OF
weakness as prices held unchanged in
the face of bids for concessions.
There was growing conviction that
higher prices are likely in the near fu-
ture and a still wider belief that prices
cannot go lower by more than the
smallest fractions.
Hours Of operations. wages and taxes
being fixed quantities and with no great
likelihood of any important downtrend

for mills to take business at conces-

Transferring Funds.
It Might Help

The proposal to permit the District Commissioners
else their discretion in the shifting of appropriations within
the supply figures might prevent Of the hardship
which otherwise would result from the adoption of the
tailed budget.
It would not however the drastic cuts which it
proposed to make in the appropriations and it should not
be considered permanent of excusng failure
to appropriate adequately for the city's needs.
The advantage which such system would have at the
present TIME is obvious
The Bureau of the Budget in sashng the estimates before
sending them Congress- gave little consideration to
the merits of the items which it cut
Everything in the estimates suffered.
Now there items in the District government which
might be reasonably curtailed.
other there items which be cut only
the of sacrificing necessary services and needed i'm
provements.
Items in both classes suffered almost equally in
the blind work which preceded submission Of the budget and
in the equally blind consideration which the appropra
ton bill given in the House.
The House, apparently realized that it not legatng
with utmost wisdom provided that certain funds
which otherwise would tied up in the Treasury
might be released for necessary work the approval Of
the President.
The Senate should go farther.
It should relieve the President of the necessity of studying
these local projects which the House would have placed
upon him.
And should further give to the Commissioners the power
shift certain percentage of the total appropriation from
any item to any other item
In this way the Commissioners would be able to protect
the essential services while making curtaiments in items
which the city get along without
considered essential that the schools the public well
public safety services be maintained at
high degree of efficiency despite the sratened rcum
stances of the Federal Treasurathoug of only in
the minds of few economy mad officials have those crcum
stances anything to do with the District.
These items would suffer greatly the Senate followed the
lead of the Bureau Of the Budget and the House.
The exbty provision which is proposed however, would
allow the Commissioners to maintain these agencies by trans
ferng to their support funds appropriated for other pur
poses which may not be necessary.
The provision would be good thing under the crcum-
stances.
