—Sept. 1—
It is daily becoming more apparent tbat
we are now in the midst of a railroad
rather than an industrial market.
In the rails the demand has been con
stant; they have been absorbed, evident
ly by interests that are disposed to hold
for substantial enhancement rather than
for a moderate or quick turn of the mar
ket.
As we view the. position of these shares,
the buying that is now daily In evidence
is logical and fully Justified.
The companies are better protected by
law today than they have been at any
time and while this protection limits them
in their earnings, the limit is sufficiently
liberal to make the shares desirable as an
Investment and will prove more attrac
tive when we have passed through the
present money stringency and return to
more normal Interest rates.
In the Industrial list there is much con
fusion due to the unsatisfactory condition
of trade in a number of lines, *i> which
has recently been added <he motor com
panies, who are confronted by the neces
sity for competition.
Production has been increased to a
point where for the presant at least the
demand is exceeded.
The leading trade review pictures steel
conditions as favorable and the shares
haYe recently given a good account of
themselves.
The irregularity may be looked for
with discrimination in the selection of
stocks, but on bulges it is still advisable
to sell some long stocks.

The hog market was about steady with
the Tuesday market today, but with the
top price in hogs much lower than yes
terday.
The top today was $16.33; the bulk of :
good light hogs brought $16@16.25; good
heavy hogs brought $15.06@16.85; good;
mixed brought $15.85@16, and the bulk
of sales ran $15.60 to $16.25. j
Roughs were 50c lower at $14.50 and
down, while pigs were practically steady i
with the Tuesday market.
Local packers took a more active part
in the market than on Tuesday and
bought more hogs.
There was some effort in the opening
of the market to bring hog prices down
some, but there were still several or
ders on the market and the part taken
by the eastern shippers held the prices
steady.
The high top of the Tuesday market
probably had some effect on the rather
heavy receipts for a Wednesday market.
Receipts approximated 10,000 fresh hogs,
with approximately 1,000 left overs on
the market.
A good clearance was looked for.
The cattle market was steady with
Tuesday, with receipts approximately
1,000.
There was a slightly less demand for
heifers, while the demand for fanners
and cutters was slightly more active.
Calves were practically steady, with
the exception of medium and common
grades, which were somewhat lower on
a lighter demand.
The top on calves was $17.50. as on
the Tuesday market, while the bulk of
choice calves brought $164(17. Mediums
sold at sll@l3 and common brought
sß® 11.
With approximately 800 receipts, sheep
were steady and lambs were steady to $1
higher with a top of sl3.

Terse Market Notes
NEW YORK, Sept. 1 From the action
of the market one would easily be lead
to conclude that there is a general agree
ment among traders to sell the motor
shares and buy rails.
It Is thought that the rails are at last
Independent, not only Independent In
control, but also independent In a finan
cial way.
Interest rates of 5% to 6 does not look
very big in these days, but this is equiv
alent to 10 to 15 per cent on the com
mon stock of many of the roads and the
prices of the shares are still low.
The latest cables from England tell
a sad story—a tremendous majority of
the coal miners have voted for a strike.
This will mean stagnation for business
there.
A great change has occurred in the
market here. Bonds that were drugs on
the market for a long time are now
being absorbed by investors.
Evidently we have reached that stage
in the situation where the capitalists
can see the light of day.
From the standpoint of the stock, how
ever, the money situation -ss still unsatis
factory and we may look forward to con
stant flurries in rates which will give us
sufficient irregularity to make it prof
itable to take a trader’s position and be
reudy to sell on a bulge as to buy on a
The stock exchange governors will rote
this afternoon on the question of whethei
or not the stock exchange will be closed
on Saturday.
' It is reported that the officials of the
United Mine Workers are urging the men
of the unions to accept the award of the
coal commission and will back President
Wilson in his challenge to insurgents In
the Wllkesbarre district.
Twenty industrial stocks averaged
86.16, a decline of .27. Twenty active
rails averaged 77.50, an increase of .38.
According to officials of the National
City bank of New York, the general trend
of business Is toward normal and perma
nent conditions and that the existing dis
orders are no greater than might be ex
pected in accomplishing the readjust
ments that are necessary.
It is probable, they say, that the pres
ent deadlock over prices will be adjust
ed early enough to permit a large volume
of fall business to be done and unless
the price level is lower than now, seems
likely this trade will necessarily require
some expansion of bank credit.
On Commission Row
The firm tone that developed at the
opening of the wholesale produce mar
ket Tuesday was not in evidence at the
opening ..f the market today, due per
haps more than anything else to the
recent cool spell.
Peaches arc scarce on the market now,
wholesale men stating that Just at the
present there is what is known us a be
tween crops period, and prices took u
slightly upward trend.
Kentucky peaches are abont off the
market, the Indiana crops are somewhat
thinned out and the Michigan and New
York crop harvesting Is hardly yet start
ed on a commercial scale.
Watermelon prices are tumbling,
melons now selling at 35®50r. It Is only
n matter of a few days until the melon
market will be over, for but few are
coming on the market now, and those few
are not of quality.
A few crates of Bee Hive breakfast
cantaloupes were on the market today at
s3® 325 per crate
There is now a good supply of Niagara
plumbs on the market, twenty-pound
baskets selling $1.50® 1.75, and the bushel
buskets at S3.SO®4.
The cantaloupe market is a little
stronger with fiat* and baskets bring
ing 65c and standards $125
Honey dew melons are down $1.50,
selling at $3. and. Tip-tops are down as
much as $2 50 from the last week mar
ket at $2 a barrel.

(By Thomson & McKinnon)
—Sept. 1—
Wheat—There seems to be a very
brisk export demand for wheat, today’s
business being estimated at one anil
quarter million following a million
bushels yesterday. It Is claimed that
the demand comes from France, Ger
many and southern Europe. There are
also one or two intimations of an Im
provement in the flour demand. Fall
plowing is progressing favorably with
indications of a large acreage. The mar
ket seems in a position now where re
appearance of general flour demand
would stimulate prices considerably.
Corn—There being no reports of
frosts In any sections and estimated re
ceipts being rather liberal, sentiment
has favored lower prices in corn. Selling
has been considerably scattered, most of
it for local account, prices susceptible
owing to a lack of important buying
power. One of the leading trade journals
notes more or less damage in lowa and
Nebraska by recent rains and wind
storms. Department of agriculture
weekly review says that satisfactory
progress has been made the lust week,
put warm weather is much to be de
sired. Receiving bouses report a con
siderable falling off in the notices of
consignments from the country. There
Is, however, no improvement in the ship
ping demand. Market seems to have
fallen into a rut and Is awaiting develop
ments of some nature. It is probable
that the arguments for lower prices have
bee-rue somewhat tnreudbnre.
Oats—Leading elevator Interest was a
buyer of September oats today. Oursidc
of that market featureless with trndo
light A small amount of export, 25,0*XJ
bushels, was reported from here. Some
lessening of the movement from the
country is expected, but market seems
to need something radical to enliven it.
I’rovlslons—ltatner free deliveries of
hog products on September contract In
duced belated liquidation. Cash trade Is
fairly good, but new demand in the fu
tures is missing.

Pre-War Thrift
Is Policy Again
CHICAGO, Sept. 1. Extravagant
shopping has spent itself and the public
is beginning to buy again in its pre
war thrifty fashion, was the belief of of
ficials of Armour & Cos., large meat pack
ers, today. *
In a statement reviewing the business
situation, the company said it is becom
ing more evident business has
entered a period of readjustment.
“Retail sales, while being attended with
a nervous tone, remain fair, and com
modities seem to be moving freely, but
there is an undoubted indication that the
purchasers are discriminating more and
more against abnormal prices,” the state
ment said,
‘‘As sales of extravagances decrease, by
just so much will capital be released for
use In production of essentials, and as
that production increases the price of
them should decrease.
‘‘Our employment bnreau Is turning
away men who are applying for work
day afser day, and for the first time since
the war lines of men can be seen at mid
day waiting to file their applications for
work.”
British Woolen
Industry Declines
WASHINGTON, Sept. I.—Reports from
the United Kingdom Indicate that the
wool industry in Great Britain is pass
ing through the same sort of depression
as that that is now going on in the
United States.
These reports show that there is a
‘‘want of confidence all around and that
the public demand Is small on account
of the view generally held tbat prices
will soon fall.”
This situation has resulted, according
to the reports, in a general stagnation
In the Industry, which, coupled with the
cancellation of orders and Impending
labor troubles, have caused the manufac
turers to curtail somewhut the produc
tions of woolens and worsteds.

Illinois Central Proudly Calls
Attention to its Record
There is a good deal of talk among uninformed people to the effect that
the railroads have not been functioning for some time, and are not function
ing at the present time.
If this talk were to the effect that the railroads are facing the task of
attempting to move a greatly increased volume of traffic with an impaired
and insufficient plant, or that the railroads had not kept pace with the growth
of the country, it would do no harm, because it would be true, but any state
ment to the effect that the railroads have not been doing their utmost, and
are not at the present time doing their utmost, with the facilities with which
they have to work, must not he permitted to go unchallenged.
Perhaps the best answer which I can make to this unjust criticism about
the railroads not functioning is simply to give statement of the gross
ton miles*of freight handled by the Illinois Central system, per year, for the
last tea years, and the number of passengers carried one mile, per year, sos
the last ten years, which I do, as follows:
Gross Ton Miles of Freight. Passengers Carried One Mile.

1911 21,889,824,779 1911 811,282,510

GROSS TON MILES OF FREIGHT FOR THE MONTH OF MAY, 1920,
WERE 3,253,664,000, THE LARGEST FOR ANY ONE MONTH
IN THE HISTORY OF THE COMPANY, AND
JUNE WAS A CLOSE SECOND.
The Illinois Central is but one railroad system out of many. Ido not
claim that its performances are any exception to the rule. No doubt many
railroad systems have done as well, and perhaps some have done better
than has the Illinois Central.
9
The Illinois Central personnel is anxious to serve the public even better
in the future, and very earnest efforts are being put forth in that direc
tion, but I hope our patrons fully appreciate that it will take time to restore
our equipment and enlarge our facilities. I promise them that no time will
be wasted.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
