THE WASHINGTON TIMES Market Activity Laid To Government Uncle Sam is responsible for the phenomenal speculative activities of the New York and other stock markets. Despite threats of legislative action to curb speculation, increase of re-discount rates at some of the reserve banka, and frowns of disapproval from certain quarters in Congress, the Government is indirectly furnishing the cash to make-the markets hum as they never hummed before. Contributing Factors « This view was taken today by a | number of the Government’s lead ing financial experts, who attrib uted to the following factors the long-continued “bull” market: 1. Retirement of over a billion dollars a year in the public debt. 2. Reduction of surtaxes in 1924 and 1925. enabling the extremely wealthy to invest in stocks instead of taking refuge in tax-exempt se curities. 3. Release of millions of dollars of corporate surpluses in the form of dividends— directly the result of lower surtaxes. . - Experts said that these three post-war developments have pro vided a gigantic surplus of capital, far in excess of the requirements of productive business, either do mestic or foreign; and that natur ally the unemployed funds found their way to the stock markets. Speculative loans from member banks of the Federal Reeerve sys tem in New York alone are close to ss,ooo,ooo,ooo—five times the pre war national debt. Huge Fuads Released In addition to the Government’s unwitting part in release of cash, great economies have been effected in the use of capital by private en terprise. Quick production add dis tribution of the tremendous output of commodities, eliminates the ne cessity of tying up capital in in ventories. This automatically has released billions of dollars for other purposes. In 1921 security prices were rela tively low, gaining little up to 1924. since which time a* "bull” market virtually has existed. This has been a period of relative prosper ity, until last September, of a large gain in gold, more efficient manu facturing production and new methods of private financing. Capital Costa Decrease Both large and small corporations have to a large degree, adopted the policy of raising capital through stock issues, rather than obtaining large loans at the bank, according to officials. The bank credit thus finds employment in other quarters. Government experts anticipate a slowly declining yield of capital, al though stock market operators die- RENTER TO NAME 2 DELEGATES Two delegates-at-large to the ad visory committee of the Southeast Community Center are to be elected at art open meeting in the center’s; headquarters, Hine Junior High 1 School, tonight at 8 o’clock.
