FINANCIAL. Cases of .Profiteering Noted—Bank De- posits at Record Levels—Money in Demand—Railroad Traffic Grows. One of the most impressive indica- tions of prosperity at this time is furnished by the volume of retail trade. Ordinarily, this phase of dis- tribution shows a falling off after the first of the year. Reports from all over the countr: however, are gen- erally to the effect that January sales by department stores, chaln stores and mail-order concerns xhow big sains over the volume for the same month last vear. Wholesale distri- bution of dry goods is on a large scale, thus indicating confidence in the future on the part of merchants throughout the country, One of the best indications of pros- perity, partlcularly in the agrigul- tural 'districts, is furnished by Yhe exhibit of the mail-order houses. The January sales of Sears, Roebuck & Co. amounted to $18,930,000, a ®ain of 33 per cent over January last Year. Montgomery & Ward Co. re- port the heaviest January sales in the history of the company, with the exception of January, 1920. The gain_over last year is 51 ver cent. The business done by chain stores furnishes an index to the buying power of cities and industrial cen- ters. January sales of the Woolworth Company show an increase.of 18 per cent over the same month last vear. Sales umounted to more than $11,000,- 000, the first time that the Janua turnover has excecded $10.000,00). Trade reports state that depart- ment stores in January showed a turnover representing an average £ain of about 5 per cent over last year. The demand from consumers is said to have covered an excep- tionally wide range of products, with =pecial emphasis on cotton goods, which are expected to be scarce or at least higher in price later in the weason. The mercantile position also is reported to be quite sound, with substantial depreciation of stocks of goods and the apparent necessity of early replenishment. Caxes of Profiteering. Commenting on the general mation, Wollman's Review savs: “It is felt that in numerous lindy we are beginning to develop some- thing of a seller's market, out ft is sincerely to be hoped (hat there will on January sit- 1o the profiteering thit was scandal late in 1919 and carly “The retailer undoubtedly has been charging exorbitant prices for im- ported articles. The report issued by the Senaato committea on finance showing the discrepancy in the cost of imported merchandise and the prices at which the articles are re- tailed in this countrv contains some atounding revelations. This pamphlet of course was issued to show that the increased duties under the new tariff act were not responsible for the tremendous increase in the cost of importeed goods, We find here, for example, table knives with a.landed cost of 3.85 cents including original purchase price, freight, duty, etc., retalling at 30 cents, or.a gross profit of €37 per_ cent. Ladies gloves re- talled in Chicago at 447 per cent above their landed cost. A cuckoo lock from Germany retailed In New York at §22, although its landed cost in the United States was a trifle under $1.27. A New York department store sokl buttons at 25 cents per »zen, although the landed cost, frelght and duty paid, was less than 1 cent per dozen n this document, the ated gross retail profit ranges somewhat over 100 per cent to about 2,600 per cent. In some cases the discrepancy is 8 NARKET FIRSTEL GANNG TENGT Tin Sells at Highest Prices Since 1920—Copper High- er—Lead and Zinc Firm. Ir the Associated Press NEW YORK, February 17.—The steel market gained further strength during the week owing to a broaden- ing demand which w in excess of present operating capacity. Leading producers were able to increase their operations slightly, but were hampered by a shortage of labor and transpor- tation conditions. Pig Iron was ac- tive and firmer with the trade more confident regarding the future. Copper has ruled strong and higher. Exporters have been more active, and while domestic consumers have not been large buyers since thelr heavy purchases of last month, the demand has evidently sufficed to strengthen 1he views of producers, who are now Lelleved to be in a strong position 50 far as atocks are concerned. Little, if any, copper is now available below 1514 cents and in some instances 1515 cents is obtained by sellers for for- ward deliver Meanwhile further advances of 1, cent have been re- ported in brass and copper products ¢xcept tubings which have been marked up a half cent by a leading manufacturer. Tin has soid since October, at the highest price 1920, demand coming principally from dealers and import- ars,, influenced by the firmness in London and foreign exchange. TLead ruled irm notwithstanding ar- rivals of Mexican metal, due to a jarge consumptive demand. Zine firm und higher with a good domestic and foreign demand particu- ariy for early deilveries. ab zinc in smelters were reduced 1.678 tons for January. Antimony continued firm dcmand.

Evi- dently all profiteering did not end with deflatioln two years ago, and the public still should be on Its guard, Deposits at High Level. Deposlits of all banks in the United States now are at a record high level, approximataely $43,000,000,000. Fig- ures of all natilonal, state, loan and trust companies, stock savings, mu- tual savings and private banks are included. The previous high point for bank deposits, according to official Agures, Wwas in June, 1920, when it was $41,- 099,213,000, Deposits of all banks in June, 1919, Wwere about $37,000,000,000, so that the present total of about $43,000,- 000,000 means a gain of nearly. $6,- 000,000,000, On_June 30, 1922, deposits of all banks in the United States totaled $40,567,591,000. Since then deposits have been increasing. The range of bank deposits since 1919, with the figures for 1923 ap- proximated, are as follows: 1919, $37,- 122,566,000; 1920, $41,099.213.000:" 1921, $38,044,216,000; 1927, $40,567.5691,000, and 1913, §43,000,000,000. There is every indicatioin that bank deposits will continue to climb as in- dustrial actlvity expands. Money in Good Demand. Money is in greater demand only for brokers' requirements New York and other ge citie for commercial and industrisl throughout the country. Money continues to flow to New York from some sections and from certain lines of industry now expe- riencing a seasopal lull, according to advices, but a counter-current of out- of-town demand makes brokers' money sufficiently scarce, so that the call rate hovers between 4% and 6 per cent and time money is firm at 5 per cent both ways, bid and offered. Freight Loadings Gain. According to the car service dlvision of the American Railway Association, the number of cars loaded with reve- nue freight continues to run unusually heavy for this season of the year, e ceeding by considerable margin the corresponding weeks in the previous year. . Total for the week ending Febru- ary 3 was 865,875 cars, an increase of 117,780 cars over the cerresponding week last year, 165957 cars over 1921 and 102,995 over 1920, Compared with the preceding week, however, this was a decrease of 5,489 cars. A. L. B. Dinner. All arrangements for the nineteenth | annual dinner of the Washington Chapter, American Institute of Bank ing. to 'be held at the New Willard | Hotel Saturday night, have been com- pleted, and. according to James C Dulin,'jr., of the American Surety and Trust' Company, chairman of the bar jquet committee, one of the laggest crowds ever to attend similar affairs will be present. Representative Simeon D.

Consolidation In- quiries May Be Beneficial to Rail Investment Situation. MONEY RATES ARE FIRMER Secretary Mellon Expects Well Stabilized Market—New Is- sues Well Absorbed. BY BYRON SELLER. Special Dispatch to The Sta: NEW YORK, February 17.—One of the early constructive phases of the investment situation, the movement toward railroad consolidation, has al- ready begun today. This movement will be stimulated by the hearings in Washington toward the end of the month covering the proposed com- binations of various transportation groups in the northwest, southwest, central west and of the transconti- nental lines. There are certain well-defined groupings which would be to the advantage of the public and which should lead to economies benefiting the holder s of railway _securities. These are suggested in either the Rip- ley plan or in that of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and, with modifications, ought to be practicable and workable. Impetus Given A great impetus has been given to rallroad consolidations by the order of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion defining the relations of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific to the Central Pacific, now owned by the first-named road, but to be given over for use in part to the Union Pacific. This adjustment was one of the most difficult with which the commission will have to deal. If it has been able to settle satisfactorily what threat- ened to be a most disastrous break between the two Pacific roads, almost any other situation can be dealt with practically and to general satisfac- tion. The public has the right to be| given u test of consolidations as pro- posed under the transportation act. Siueh consolidations may not accom- Plish in ecconomies and in service what is predicted for them, but. at least, they will relieve the carrlers of responsibilities that are connected with a duplicate service and waste- ful competition. Mergers Prove Helpful. It has been found among industries thut combinations effect great changes inebalance sheets. Witness the recent mergers of good sized iron and steel companies with the Bethle- hem Steel Company. An equivalent to this would be the consolidation of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific by the way. and| qui a little to do ml developing Union Pacific's desire for Central Pacific. However, there have been almost no rallroad consoli ions of importance in recent years. The purchase by the St. Louis and San Francisco of the International Great Northern and by the Nickle Plate of a control of the Chesapeake and Ohio represent investments, but not that kind of merger that Is in-| timated in the transportation act. | Methods Used Abroad. Evidence has been given in both the French railway system of division of territory into a group of six lines covering all of France and in Great Britain in the reduction of raliroad units to a half dozen, serving all of England, that profits’ are multiplied as the duplication of effort is reduced We may expect to see speculation in railroad stocks based on the poesi- | Dilities of purchase by one line of another line, and an improvement in Sunior grades of bonds as the pro- tectorate of a strong line over a weak one is established. he other %ide of the picture will be the objection by holders of securi- ties of a strong line to taking over the stocks or bonds of an inferior road with little ability over an aver- age of years in earnlng Its fixed charges. i Mdney Rates Firmer. { Money rates this week have been | firmer, with as high a figure as G per | cent quoted for call loans. Rates for | commercial paper were also steady, and in all there was evidence that the commercixl demands were in- creasing. Quite a difference of opin- ion exists as to the future of loaning rates. Secretary Mellon Is quoted us believing in a well stabilized com- modity and money market. Wall street’ banks which lend to a large extent on collaterals’ take the same position. The important commercial banks of | the east, on the other hand, have the feoling that rates will ' be firm throughout the spring and that the era of easy money. about which so much was written last year, may be considerably delaved. So far this has not injured the position of fixed in- terest-bearing securitles. They have advanced during the week in line with stocks, though the emphasis has been rather on those of the convert- ible type than those of the purely mortgage character. Siituation Confusing. New issues have been taken on a more liberal scale and quite well placed. There is a growing disposi- tion to finance with issues of no par mergers, i ings of this sort have been made late- ly and others are to follow. While there have been refundings of high coupon bands by bonds of moderate rate, there have also been plenty of high-grade investments to return bet- ter than 6 per cent. The situation is full of contradiction and is a long way from being at equilibrium. * (Copyright, 1923.) ————— RETIRES AS PRESIDENT. Clothing Merchant Began at 11 as $3.00 Per Week Clerk.

NEW YQRK, February 17.—The raw sugar market wag firmer and prices were higher, with Cubas now quoted b 3-16, cost and freight, equal to 6.96 for centrifugal. There were sales of 15,000 bags of Cubas for March shipment. S8he raw sugar futures market was firmer on continued buy- ing by commission houses and Cuban interests, although trading was a lit- tle less-active.

NEW YORK, February 17.—Opera- tions for the rise which have been conducted with great vigor for the| last: week were again interrupted to- day by heavy profit-taking sales, giv- ing the stock an irregular appear- ance. Total sales, however, were tne Jargest of any half-holiday session {n recent months. One of the most significant developments of the day was the establishment of a new high record for sterling exchange since the “pegged rate” of $4.75 was re- moved by the British government in March, 1919 Demand bills sold today for $4.69%, or ' of a cent above the previous high, which was established last De- cember and duplicated twice during the past week. The par rate of sterling is $4.86%. When foreign ex- change rates collupsed so dissstrously in the spring of 1920 the rate fell to $3.18, the lowest ever recorded. LIVE STOCK MARKETS.
