(By Thomson & McKinnon) —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. NEW YORK LIBERTY BONDS. —Sept. 1 Prev. High. Low.

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.

I.—Grains closed ir regular on tbe Chicago Board of Trade today. After starting out easy tbe market made sharp fractional gains on buying lyy shipping interests but later slumped on large receipts and scattered selling.

(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.

ARMINGTON, Meteorologist. Weather Bureau. 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. 1910 21,297,062,271 1910 745,818,345 1911 21,889,824,779 1911 811,282,510 1912 21,531,250,666 1912 807,969,807 1913 24,391,106,507 1913 815,812,320 1914 24,366,570,056 1914 832,881,282 1916 ..24,893,278,841 1915 747,797,713 1916 27,704,768,863 1916 850,797,693 1917 31,302,858,783 1917 982,111,873 1918 34,227,609,231 1918 1,026,898,494 1919.- 28,740,018.000 1919..: 1,142,044,011 Ist 6 mos. 1920. .17,568,332,000 Ist 6 mos. 1920.. 568,884,894 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. V 0. H. MARKHAM, Presich*nt, Illinois Central Railroad Company.
