leled spending. It has made it sc
difficult for private enterprise &C

trepeneurs, corporations, institu
tions, have Shrunk from launch
ing new enterprises and from ex
panding existing enterprises.
INVESTORS DISCOURAGED
Also, investors have been dis
couraged from putting their saw
ings into business securities.
George Eastman's admonition
comes to mind on reading what
the New York Herald Tribune says
editorally on the fact that the
Government has broken all rec
ords for borrowing at low rates
and the other fact that the " We,
locity" of bank deposits in New
York city touched q new low for
all tine in November. Thus:
What does it mean when the
Government is able to borrow
$100,000,000 for 80 days at a
cost of 81 ,440? Well, one way
to grasp it is to reduce the loan
to terms comprehensive to the
man who occasionally has to go
to the bank himself for a loan.
There are all kinds of loans, of
course, and they bear varying
rates of interest; but one usually
thinks in terms of per cent.
S1.44 CENTS PR $1,000
"The man who arranged q
loan of $1,000 at 6 per cent
would have to pay $50 intele
a year, or SIS for three months.
In paying 81, 440 for the use of
500, 100000 for three months,
the United States Treasury is
getting each $1,000 for $1.44
cents.
How long would it take the
banker to earn the normal $50
a year interest on $1,000 at the
rate at which the Treasury has
just done its latest financing?
Slightly more thar one thousand
years."
OF course, one reason why the
New Deal can borrow at fantas.
tically low rates is that private
enterprises have been so bounded
and pounded that they have no
stomach for becoming responsible
for taking money from savers for
investment under existing condi
tions-low profits, excessive taxes
labor uncertainties, the menace
of governmental competition. etc

Certainly the averages gained a
little during the week, managing
to close about half point higher
than the week before. And once
more / have to point out that mega
lively this is good performance.
At one time during the week
things looked worse, but after de-
clining in the first three days,
averages turned up Thursday, and
by Saturday had regained all the
ground lost and more.
CLIMB INDICATED
Group movements were quite
noticeable. Thus profit-taking
lit the airplane issues, while the
railways stocks took on new life.
A good many utility and electric
appliance stocks were rather
weak, while steels and metals did
fairly well. This may well have
something to do with the final
year-end shifting of positions,
and the completion Of tax sell
ing" operation.
But wher all is said, such signs
Of general tendency as there were
indicated an upward inclination.
It still seems to me that the next
considerable move is likely to be
toward higher levels.
For one thing, there is discern

drift. The most definite symp
tom of this is to be seen in the
way the market, at it's low
point Wednesday, failed to break
through; and then on Thursday
came back to close within a sort
of rising path which has been
forming. The decline was checked
considerably above the preceding
lows.
CLOSE BUOYANT
This system is supported by
The fact that the close Saturday
was the highest closing figure
since the peak reached in mid
November. The earlier figures
are not exceeding much, but the
fact stated is significant Of an
underlying buoyancy.
The fact that the close on
Saturday was buoyant enough
to cause the averages to close
near the iop of the days range,
is a minor symptom. favorable in
its implications.
Nor is the action of the bond
market to be ignored. If any
thing, bonds made a slightly bet
ter showing than stocks. At the
present time, this is consoling.
What is most needed now is a
foundation Of confidence in in
vestments, especially with refer
ence to political interference and
labor troubles. Doubtless the bond
market is a logical place to look
for signs Of such confidence.
RAIL REPORT HELPFUL
The outstanding news item of
the week, however. is the official
report making recommendation
looking toward q solution Of the
railway problem. The action of
railway stocks strongly indicates
that some railways are to benefit
by any action which may be taken
under these recommendations.
