Finance - Economies WALL STREET OFFICE: Telephone Milis Buildinsr, 15 Broad St. Hanover 6514 Speculation as to post-war con-! ditions hold the centre of the stage, j For a long time to come their focal ; point will be Washington. This ? country lias been up till this Avar relatively i'vtie from governmental domination. To-day five or six men at Washington hold the immediate future of this country in their hands. First of all comes .Mr. Mc Adoo, at the head of the railways and at the head o?' the Treasury. He may elect for immediate rail? way rehabilitation and expansion, or lie may elect to retrench. It is within his power to continue the giving of large credits to our allies. or to stop them short. The extent of their buying in the markets of this country largely depends upon his choice. At the head of the banks and likewise at the head of railway finance is the well known raihvaj financier. Mr. Skelton Williams. The power exercised over the banks by the present Con? troller of. the Currency is almost, autocratic. With the backing of Mr. McAdoo and the: assistance of the Federa! Reserve Board, 'ne has an almost strangle hold on banking polie... Th?se five or six men will determino whether the present po? icj of low rate, of discount ana unlimited credit expansion may con? tinue, or whether a sharp contrae Li :: :- to lake place. In the hand- -ii'.-Ai i*. Hoover and the Pres? iden! Fur at least many months to '??ne is the control o? the large: pail of Hi grain and meat trade. The President has by proclamation guaranteed the price of wheat, and therefore of wheat Hour and bread, lor more than a year to come, II i in tl e hands or the Pre ?idem v. ' o! h r we shall continue the pre: . : p? kcj of lart pure liai -s f the account of Cor? ign .: ?vornmenl . In the hands of the President and Mr. Gompers, very largely, is the scale of wage.- to be paid Cor the great number oi' men now engaged p m government work. Mr. Ba ruch and bis War Industrie. Board ma; exercise a potent Lniiuene ? over {?rices and production in man*, 'lilies For six months after peace is proclaimed. And there are very large problems involved in the speed with which we shall continue shipbuild? ing, and the disposition of ?hese ?Inns after they arc ready. On all this vast power Congress can exer? cise vesy little restraint, even if it were so minded. And For some time to come it will continue to be not so minded. In a word, the business and tin an cial centre of this country is now no longer New York or Wall Street. For a good while to come it will continue to be Washington. Thence ?ornes the issue of prosperity 01 disturbance and depression. Then : little reason to doubt thai with s ;.' i and carefully thought out .lie*, of credit extension to foreigr countries, the stea<?\ prosecution oi shipbuilding, a reasonable expan ? ?en of railway facilities, a libera policy toward good roads, and ; healthy reduction in the burden; ? f taxation upon industry, this country might continue prosperoui for years to come. Indeed, then s re not lacking signs to many ob servers that it might be undulj ;- ospevous-?that there might ensui a period of wild speculation an< expansion such as very ofteu fol lows a great war. When the lid ii off there will be inevitably a tioo< of new enterprises, a renewal o building activity, speculation in rea estate and an orgy o? red-?es: overeonfidence. There are not lack ing prophets of times comparabl? to those of tiic South Sea bubble But this, loo. is largely within th? Price Trend on the New York Stock Market -??"?1.11?I_1_1_? ? I . . ine graph a nove shows average price of twenty railroad stocks in one line and thirty industrial slocks in the other on the first business day of each month from January, 1915, tc July, VJlb, and the weekly high, low and closing average prices since July 1. power of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board to control and check. Prompt application of high interest rates by the Federal Reserve banks could at once retire two billions of redis? counts, which are now almost pure inflation. And such a policy would exercise a farreaching effect upon the whole banking and credit structure of the country. Xot at any time since the Civil War, not even in the dark days of Re? sumption, or of free silver and Bryanism, has it been so largely given to the Administration m power deeply to influence the pros? perous trend of the nation's affairs and the happiness of its people. Optimistic forecasts are offered as to the great demand for locomo? tives and railway equipment that will come with peace. It is well known that our o v. n railway capac? ity has not kept pace with the in? creased demands of the last four years. And that of Germany, Aus? tria and other warring countries must be at a low ebb. Of Russin we know this to be true. If the? Brit? ish, French and German factories ai'e kept busy for the next year or two supplying their dome-tic de? mand, that will leave a wide field open lo the companies in the United States. It is reckoned that some? thing like ii quarter of the total Course of the Bond Market I'll is graph snows ihe average prices <?l ten railroad, ten industrial and uve public utility bonds on the first business da> of each month from January. 1915, to July. 1918, and the weekly fluctuations since July 1. steel consumption in this country is absorbed bj our railways. They are. indeed, the largest i-stee] buyers. If our export business in railway equipment and supplies should be large, the normal percentage might be considerably increased. In part, ;.t leas', buying .for our railways will 'ne under the control of the Federal Railway Administration. A liberal policy in such purchases, and in financing tlie railways to make such purchases, would go \';.r ?o ii :le over that decrease in the de? mand for steel which so manj pre diet with confidence i;? consequence of the cessation of tli" war's de? mands, 'liiere seems here oppor? tunity for highly intelligent action on the part of the railway adminis? tration that would be far, indeed, removed from the normal kind of governmental interference in mat? ters of rail transportation. The extent of our contributions to i he food supply of Europe, in the last year or two especially, is in? dicated in the figures as to the total exports for the last fiscal year, now published, and the averages of the three years preceding the war, In the twelve months up to the 1st ?f last July, we wer* shipping three times the average amount of beef, nearly twice the usual amount of pork, twenty times the dairy prod? ucts, three times the normal amount of sugar, and nearly double tin. total quantity of grain. For July many of these items were double and even triple the shipments for; July of the preceding year. In this time, as is well? known, the total of farm products in the country, ex? cept in meat, was but little above the pre-war averages. This means that in the last year there has been a genuine contraction in the amount of food consumed in the country, a real food saving. ,This, in the face of the enormous expansion in the buying power of the community, is a notable triumph. It will be in? teresting to observe how far this war thrift will continue when the existing restrictions arc removed, for it does not appear that there will be a great, immediate decrease in this buying power. If there is not, it is not overly clear as to where the anticipated decline in the cost of ??vine; will come. Europe's demands must run far above nor? mal for at least a year to come. With the utter prostration of pro? duction in Russia, the return of Germany, with its 70,000,000 to the world's markets, will ! be an added factor in the probable demand. It is a very remarkable fact that for several years after our Civil War the price of wheat and some other commodities averaged much higher than during the war, in spite of the return of a million men, in the North alone, to what was then much more of a country of farmers and food producers than this nation is now. Bradstreet's figures for bank clearings fur the whole countrj show for tiie ten months of thi: year a total of 'J?!',1 billions as against 27,1 billions For the same period last year. Allowing For an increase In the average price, of goods uni! f-ervices exchangpd of ?nly In per cent, this would indi? cate a lessened volume of trade, in spite of the vast expenditures by the government, and ail the stimu? lation that attaches thereto. There, can be from this only one deduc? tion, and thut is. that the actual contraction in many lines of indus? tries has been considerable. For otherwise, if there had been any large expansion in production, this, ?th an unquestionable increase in the average of all prices, would have meant a corresponding increase in bank clearings. As one bit of evidence for such a contraction, building permits issued in October were one-half of those of it year ago and Jess than one-sixth of those of October two years ago. The upturn of money rates last week to the slablized level of the last three months indicated that the easing of conditions for a few days ?was only temporary, as was to be ! expected. 'the payment of large suii.s on fourth Liberty bonds on the ?lay the first instalment fell due : left the banks momentarily with a , surplus. And, inasmuch as the effec? tive demand of brokers for call | money was rigidly limited by the resti'ictions of the money authori ties, rates declined. But government ' withdrawals last week changed that condition and call money was again put out at 6 per cent on loans se-' cured by mixed collateral and 6?t? per cent on loans secured by indus? trial collateral. Comparatively little j new time money was offered, and, most of that which was available was for thirty days. In response to the wirespread criticism of fixing fhe level of loans on September 16 as the arbitrary standard to which all present loans for Stock Exchange purposes had to conform, the board of governors of the exchange ap? pointed a committee of five to con? sider the general situation and to confer with the bankers who com? prise the money committee. Ac? cording to those best informed, the new committee is seeking to re? move the inequities in the present restrictions rather than to have them rescinded. The brokers' com? mittee held informal meetings last week, and. although no public an? nouncement has been made, it is probable that it will be ready to com? municate with the money committee at its next regular meeting.
