WEEKLY LETTER C'cniparatively little actual change in the general financial and invest ment outlovk has taken place during the jias; v.-c-.-k, but there have been developments which hold out hope :"or a bet t.r state of tUiiid. Political f. vct ions are evjdcn xly approaching liiui'ii l'pjs'.t to a,n agru-ement with re- g. ird t-.i a ratiJica'.ion of the peace ir-aty, ri I ir -would seem likely that s i : ; d -: fi ire a '.IjiJHtm-.-jit may be ar rived at in flit! near future. This in u s c : f h l 1 d serve to furnish a n ew bns:ri for foreign iraile and through it f r i n 1 1 i l .s t i c b u i n e in man bis r.f hes. The ad- ption of the K ' f bill by Congress on Pecein'icr 1 i'i opon?! the way i the e.stabHsh nu n; of foreign credits and the bet-t.--rlnjT of relalioiiri with foreign coun tries if peace treaty action can be fe cured as a basis. The events of the pas", few day? also seem to show a uisposiiion in Conrpss to deal defi nitely with the railroad situation. Abroad the establishment of an a nii-infhi tion policy in Great Britain, incluuinsr an fiTori to curtail further jtu-ro;i?f.' of note currency, has coin cided with apparent growth of ex porting power to encourage belief in a decided improvement in British conditions. Buying power continues good throughout the country and for eign nations are anxious to take as much of our output as we are willing to release, provided they can obtain reasonable credit. The adoption of a policy for the release of silver by the United States Treasury is tending to improve our trade and exchange re lationships with silver using coun tries, particularly in the Orient. There are thus many hopeful factors in the general business and financial out look. Effects of Industrial Unrest. The outstanding feature of the week's business has been a clearer recognition of the effects of the in dustrial unrest of the past month or two. Estimated losses due to the coal and steel strikes are, of course, only approximate, but even on the most conservative basis run up enormous ly. The fact that many plants, as a Tesult cf fuel .shortage, will he obliged to defer the fulfillment of their or ders necessarily tends to throw other blusiness more or less out of gear, and in many parts of the country reports of inability to obtain mer chandise for which contracts have been made Indicate the loss to the community both in convenience and income. These conditions have tend ed more or less to affect the values of industrial shares of various groups, although on the whole they have fared comparatively well and have been much more favorably regarded than even the standard rails. A noteworthy development is;'seen in the. effect of these conditions upon public utilities stocks and utility se curities generally. Consolidated Gas has sold as low as 79 1-4, while trac tion issues, although temporarily in fluenced by reports of possible public ownership or operation, have been in an unsatisfactory condition.

Foreign investment securities, to which buyers might ordinarily turn, have been the obiects of uncertainty. and in spite of very attractive prices, i due to the low quotation of exchange, h a v e n o t been widely taken. On the. other han i, the past week has wit nessed large, sales of foreign hold i v-'n of A nter lean securities, a condi tion which has resulted in off-Ting bargu.ns to American investors at the same time tending to furnish a much : noedi'd corrective to the exchange ! situation. j Ttie Railroafl Situation. j Prices of railroad shares have suf fered considerable depression, some I of them reaching very low levels I within the past lew days, notwith- j s-.unuing recoveries here and there. The state of things at Washington j has not been encouraging, and from i day to day it has been feared that' the op pati ! i: ion ot "radical" Senators i would prevent any early or perhaps j any satisfactory action with regard to pending railroad measures. Never- ; theless the advancement of the Cum- j mins bill toward passage has been i steady, and to that extent encourag- j in sr. j The final form of the legislation j will not, however, be settled by the ! adoption of the Cummins bill In the Senate but will necessitate almost -the preparation of a new measure designed to harmonize conflicting views. That no such measure can become a law in the immediate fu ture is evident, and in consequence the postponement of the date for the Government's' return of the roads to their owners has become almost a necessity. Possible compromise might be found in the adoption of a meas ure or resolution simply extending the present Government guarantee for some time to come, the roads ac cordingly going back into the hands of their owners at the end of the year to be operated by them upon such an j assurance of income pending a linal action. This, however, is evidently not intended by Congress, and tha best that can now be expected would seem to be the comparatively early development of a general railroad measure, present control of the lines being continued for a short period. An improvement In railroad issues may be expected as soon as definite announcement is made concerning; the programme to be adopted, as suming, of course, that there is no unfavorable change in the general attitude toward the lines but that the Government maintains a policy of reasonable equity toward the carriers and their property. Money and Ranking:. Money and banking conditions have continued practically stable through out the past week, the most note worthy development being a decided easing in call money. This has helped conditions on the exchange, although it has been well understood that any very great increase in the demand for funds would send the call rate to ' a materially higher level. This un- ; derstanding is doubtless responsible ' for the relatively small volume of . business which has been tranascted at . many recent sessions. The situation grows out of the fact that reserve conditions have not altered but are In some particulars even, less encourag ing than they were a week ago. Slight declines in the reserve per centage at the New York Federal Re serve Bank and at others of the larger banks of the system show that surplus resources available for redis counting continue to be very nar-; row.

T 17 tf i , ti .- STOCKS, with their customers upon the as sumption that they cannot largely in crease the extent of their reserve bank barrowings, and the result is that any heavy demand for call funds" is sharply checked by higher rates. It had been supposed that the re lease of money due to Government interest payments on the 15th of De cember would help conditions quite markedly. The influence of these payments has usually been most de cidedly noticeable two or three days after the interest date, and on this occasion the usual effect was ex perienced, although to a considerably Jess extent thon in the past. The conclusion of the December in terest and tax settlements has re lieved to some extent the uncertainty which previously existed, but there is no reason to look for any great change in conditions before the close of. the vear. Market Situation. While there are thus many factors in the industrial and financial pros pects which should serve to encour age genuine optimism, banking and money conditions are such as to en force the need for conservatice judg ment on the part of investors. There is little ground to look for a marked or very general advance in prices in the near future, although individual stocks will undoubtedly react upward as a result of good news from time to time. Definite adoption of a rail road policy should, however, produce a condition of greater strength In transportation Issues, j.nd the rail way list now offers not a few attrac tive opportunities for the discriminat ing buyer. Relatively quiet conditions in the market as a whole continue to be expected from now until the turn oC the year. Underlying business condi tions throughout the country are in strong demand, with corres pondingly favorable effect upon cor porate earnings despite the influence of heavy taxation and other difficult conditions growing out of high and rising costs of production. There are many influences at work to account for the market's stand still. These are so well known there is little use In enumerating1 them; however, they are all of Buch a na ture they can In time be cured and that Is the reason why people of means and discernment have been acquiring standard shares whenever they have been pressed for sale. INTERNATIONAL POLICE FORCE IS ADVOCATED London, Dec. 22.. Creation of an international police force is suggest ed by Major David Davies, a member of Parliament. He told the Grotlus Society that each nation should have a sufficient army to maintain intern al order and furnish its quota when the League of Nations required it; that no nation should employ a new weapon of war; and that each nation should provide the League of Nations with an adequate force for im mediate use. These units should be concentrated in different parts of the world and the naval portion similarly consti tuted. Poison gas, war planes, sub marines, heavy artillery and tanks should be ceded to the League to form the headquarters force and no state should be allowed to own them or to make use of any new invention for war-like purposes, he said. Major Davies said the greatest re sistance to the suggestion probably College tor a BARNUM 4853 T 8 h 1 8 5 BONDS, REAL now would be found in America "which was the more saddening be cause the President of the great re public was one of the earliest and most powerful exponents of the prin ciples of the League."
