SLIGHT DECLINE SEEN
TRANSIT REVENUES

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 6.-Revenues
for the transit industry for the week
ending February ~, 1887, based on
telegraphic reports received from q
representative group Of transit operat-
ing companies. showed q slight de-
crease from last year.
Transit Journals revenue indicator
stands at 98.03, which represents .
loss of 1877 per cent over the corre-
spending week in 1896.
For the week ending February 20,
1897, the indicator was 102.64.
The loss shown for the latest week
is due primarily to a calendar shift
which placed the February % holiday
in a different week this year from
last year. Taking two-week period
which includes the holiday in both
years, 1887 shows slight improve
ment over 1896.

BELIEVED SLIGHT
Problem of "Hot Money"
Has Been Exaggerated,
Observer Declares.
Snecial Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatch TO Ihe star.
NEW YORK, March 6.-The hot
money" problem, which has recently
been given considerable publicity by
Washington, is considerably exagger-
ated, according to survey by Herbert
M Bratter in the current issue of The
Annalist.
Those who regard the inflow Of
foreign capital during the last two
years as a potential threat to our
stock market because of the imper-
manent nature of the movement
would do we'll to remember that only
the smaller portion (s633. .000,00O of
the total foreign inflow was invested
in domestic securities" according to
Bratter.
In contract. ,360,000,0o0 of
short term money-including s458,-
100000 of repatriated American capi-
tal-entered the United States. If the
officially expressed view that we can
safe contenance the liquidation of for
eign short term balances is cound, the
extent of the hot money problem is
limited.
Expected to Move Slowly.
Undoubtedly the inflow of foreign
capital in 1885 and 1885 contributed
something to the advance of the stock
market. But, in the absence Of con-
elusive evidence that net new foreign
investment in the United States has
played q material part in the stock
market advance. 1t would seem to fol-
low that liquidation might well be as
gradual as was the infiltration, and
therefore supportable.
If the liquidation were to be rapid,
there would certainly be adverse
effects on stock market prices, but
those effects need not cause lasting
or vital damage. All would depend
on the circumstances.
The present European situation is
by no means such as to induce a rapid
repatriation. If Congress enactS
legislation to deter or discourage for
eign investment, conceivably the in
| flow of capital and gold may be
checked or partly reversed. 1t is
difficult to imagine the introduction
in the near future of any measure
effective enough to drive out the bulk
of the foreign capital invested here,
nor is 1t the aim to do so.
Official Views Differ.
There are innumerable practical
difficulties, and as yet a united ad-
ministration viewpoint as to what
should be done does not seem to exist.
The problems of the Treasury, the
S. E. c. and the Federal Reserve
System, on the one hand, are not the
same as the problems of the State
Department, having bent every effort
to reconstruct business relations with
foreign countries, is bound to resist
strongly any proposal which would
imperil its program.
1T is felt, however, that tax with
held at the source, while certain to
be bothersome to those charged with
its collection, can be made an effective
medium. This seems to be the method
that will be employed in the not dis
tant future"

Hide Market to 8-Year Peak

to authoritative sources. BY far the

goes into the manufacture of footwear.
A standard grade of hide known as
light native cows yesterday was quoted
around 14A cents a pound, compared
with 10 cents year ago and as low
as 71a in 1884. All types Of hides are
selling considerably below the 1913

preciated 40.93 per cent, October 5

sents about three-fifths the reserve of

STAPLES ADVANCE

Industrial Items Set Pace in
Broad Rise After Hesi-

COTTON LEADS REBOUND
IN FARM COMMODITIES
Scramble to Lay In Supplies Turns
Markets Into One Way Affair.
Metals at New Tops.
BY A. A. PATTON,
va. okzAs.s, -, - -

NEW YORK, March 6.-Commodity
prices swung up in rousing bull
market last week, industrial items
setting the pace. The list reached the
highest ground touched since late 1929.
Prior to the upturn, staple prices had
traced divergent courses since the first
OF the year. Metals were sharply
higher during the period and products
of the farm trended lower.
The scramble to lay in supplies last
week, however. virtually turned the
market place into a street Of one-way
prices
OF the IS important commodities
used in the Associated Press index of
wholesale prices, % advanced and
only 2 declined. The remainder were
unchanged.
The index moved up to 9248 per
cent Of the 1926 average from 9083 a
week ago and compared with 1854 in
the same period last year.
Establish New Tops.
Industrial staples and non-ferrous
metals established new tops for the
year. Antimony. tin and zinc con-
tinued the swing started by copper
and lead few weeks ago. Neither of
the latter, however, changed on the
week.
Steel billet quotations were lacked
up for the first time since the first of
the year by the big steel companies.
Increased costs plus the highest rate
OF operations in seven years are gen.
orally agreed by economists to have
caused the move.
Steel scrap in Pittsburgh was marked
up to the best level since the early
twenties, far above 1929. A shortage
OF pig iron is said by the trade to be
the reason. Rubber and burlap also
nudged ahead, while turpentine
slipped back.
Textiles Improve.
Textiles improved. Cotton cloth re-
covered some Of the ground lost in the
past fortnight as consumption con.
tinued at record-breaking levels. Silk
was fractionally higher.
Agricultural staples reversed their
recent downtrend under the leader
ship of cotton. The fiber was in
heavy demand as the trade considered
mill consumption sufficient to absorb
Government holdings readily. Corn,
oats and rye were also stronger.
Live stock quotations were unani-
nous in seeking higher levels; hogs,
cattle and lamb concurring.
More Food Consumed.
The increasing quantity Of food
consumed by the average family. anal
ysts said, was reflected in the solid
front Of gains chalked up. Eggs,
sugar, cocoa, -four, lard and butter
improved. Only coffee dipped.

pound level for the first time since
August, 1884, today, when March con-
tracts climbed to 14.07 cents a pound.
Speculative buying: stimulated by
the sharp decline of the French franc,
heavy purchases from mills in view
of the possibility Of textile strike
and q continuation of the upward
trend induced by the fact the staple

were ascribed as reasons for the rise.
