New Issues Absorbed. MUCH DEPENDS ON RUHR Domestic Business Pi-olyectl Still , Good—Car Loadings Re- main Heavy. BY BYRON SELLERS. Special Dispateh to The Star. NEW YORK, January 13.—The turn of the year to which the financial forecasters looked forward has come and gone and today the long-range outlook Is no more clear than it was a week ago. The speculative markets continue to absorb trading interest. The In- vestment markets are dull and un- changed. New issues offered at at- ltractive prices are easily sold, but} the old ones drag. Liberty bonds fluctuate over a very small range. For a day or two after the French | carrled into effect their lgng-standing threat (o use force upon a recalcitrant Germany speculators hesitated, and franc exchange and French bonds weakened, but the effect was short lived. Sterling exchange continued phenomenally strong, and. the Amerl- gan markets take their cue from Lon- on. ‘Those whose profession it is to'give advice to stock speculators say that prices are going up. They put their faith In charts and theories of the business So far there has been nothing to show that these gentlemen are wrong. Watchful Wailting Poliey. Probably the most notable devel- opment of the week was the calm with which the news of the French invasion was recelved. The whole finatcial world seems to have adopt- ed a watchful waiting policy. The question to be answered 1s, to what extent can the French benefit financially from their adventure. Praise or blame will go with the re- sult. It may be that all our markets are under the influence of some fac- tor more fundamental than even the Furopean situation. If so, the elue will dcubtless be found in the course of money rates, but so far no distinct trend has appeared. If we turn for guidance economists we find them predicting what they call inflation. In guarded language, and with many qualifica- tions, they forecast advancing com modity prices and credit expansion. Such conditions accompany what ap- Dears to be great prosperity in busi- ness. This much is certain. Both | manufacturers and merchants look jforward to the year without mis- { to the givings. Auto People Optimistic. The automobile people are particu- larly optimistic. Plans are being imade for great expansion involving the largest output in the history of the industry. It is interesting to note that $3 per cent of the 1922 motor car {production was divided among six | corporations. Probably the tendency will be more and more toward con- solidation as competition becomes more sharp. The automobile equipment and part manufacturers expect to share the £0od times anticfpated by the makers of cars. The rubber and tire com panfes look forward to better thin; The irregular year has not been so0 Pprosperous, but they Yhink that the turn has come. If higher prices for crude rubber “will help any their hopes are well founded. The compe. tition in the tire industry. however, Is éven more severe than In the making and selling of cars. Copper and fron and_steel are strong to higher. €opper secu- rities especially are speculative fa- vorites. ~Incidentally the financing expected to accompany the Anaconda acquisition of a controlling interest in Chile Copper will be a severe test of the ability of the investment mar- ket to absorb new securities, the total of which, In this case alone, is esti- mated as high as $130,000,000. Car *Loadings Remain Heavy. Railway car loadings of revenue freight continue the heaviest in his- tory for this time of year. The fu- ture of the rallways depends on the treatment they receive from the leg- islators at Washington. The Influ- jence of politics must not be over- prices {looked by those who scan the finan-) cial horizon. i { Much interest is taken in the atti- tude the so-called agricultural bloc | 1will show toward the federal reserve | system. The ideas of some ‘of the!( | agricultural senators as to banking | policies are at sharp variance with | those held by oconservative bankers. | | Probably the first conflict will come over the question of discount rates. | Members of the farm bloc in Con- gress believe their constituents de- mand low rates. Banking opinion is that If any tendency toward inflation should appear rates must be raised. 1t is an old conflict and can end only one way. Too much credit is just as fatal as none at all. Transportati Clouds. Even in periods of prosperity not all industries are equally prosperous, | just as in periods of depression not 11l industries suffer allke. The prog- ress of Invention sometimes out- weighs economic considerations, For example, we seem to be in a trans- jitlon period as far as transportation {1s concerned. It remains to be seen how far the motor truck is going to be a real competitor of the railroad. Appar- ently the truck has an enormous ad- {vantage in the matter of terminal icosts. Meanwhile the Pennsylvania has announced the curtailment of lo- cal accommodation service at various points throughout the middle west be- cause of the competition of the pas- senger automobile. On the other hand, the electric railway people as- sert that more persons rode on the trolleys in 1922 than in 1921. It will not do to be too dogmatic about these ! subjects.

For the benefit of those who were not in receipt of the attractive souvenirs, presenting a brief history of Mount Pleasant, given away at the opening of the Riggs Bank's branch at 14th and Park road last Monday night, it might be interesting to quote a few paragraphs from the volume, which had to do with the story of t evergrowing section. ‘That part of the District,” goes the story, “which now bears the name of Mount Pleasant was getached from the patent of Lord Baltimore, and appears to have descended through Robert Peter and Eliphas Douglas to Anthony Holmead, great-grandfather of William Holmead, proprietor of quite a large portion of the original estate lying east of 14th street road. for many years a famous race course was located here, and occupled a_large portion of the plateau on which the villige now stands. “The track was an exact circle, one mile in extent, and swept around on both sides of where 14th street now is, and between the house of Mr. Mat- tingly and the old Georgetown road running east and west, then between {the college property and the Sherman property” (that is, the northern ex- tremity was just south of what is to- day Park road). 01d Race Course Popular. The pamphlet states that W. B. Bryan, in his *History of the National Capital” has an interesting paragraph on this old race course, as follow: “The_spectators in November, 1803, when Rev. Mr. Cutler attended, as he noted in ‘his journal, were between three and four_thousand. “Both Rev. Mr. Coulter and John Quincy Adams, who were from New England, where horse racing was un- known, record in their memoirs that they gratified their curiosity by be- ing present. The carriage people, so Mr. Cutler states, were ranged. in lines on the outside of the circular track, which was fifty feet wide and ‘Within the cir- cle was a cluster of wooden refresh- ment booths baving flat roofs, from which people viewed the races. Those on horseback followed the contest- ants along the course. “The popularity of this old race course.” the booklet continues, “ap- parently continued until well in the 60: Returning to our gnnals of Mount Pleasant, we find: “It was on this course that the world- celebrated race was contested be- tween Sir Henry and Eclipse, in which Eclipse was the victor and made the fastest time then known to the sporting, world.” The sketch then proceeds to show that on April 18, 1795, Anthony Hol- mead had his property vesurveyed, when it extended across Tth street road on the east and overlapped the boundaries of Georgetown on the west and Washington city on the south. At this time the property was known as “Pleasant Plains.” At the death of Anthony Holmead, in' 1802, it is shown, the property i hands it passed, down t meeting. { with the Washington Stock Exchange | also report on | looked for, and that an entertaining | who has charge of the. paswed to two sons, John an thony, and in turn to their h ing ‘gradually diminished until in 1862 the fortunes of probably forced William Virginian and former Tr the United deeds of se he had acquired to Sumuel I’ These enty-three acres destined to mark the spot wh of “Pleasant Pl form at Mount scribing the property as * of Linnean Hill andwetween the ridge (1813 Newton 14th street roadway, the continues to show the stages of development of the and names those through the me of the nt comn sect who Mo most un T Pleavant of tod thriving and centers in the pamphlet was with haif-tone many churches ldings that rhood.
