BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. atch to The Star. <t during the week just closed has centered upon the phenomenal rise in prices on the Stock Exchange. Atten- tion has been paid to other matters only insofar as they were connected with the speculation in stocks. The spectacle nf such representative as U. S. Steel, General Moto Atchison and Allied Chemicals daily making new high records has held Wall Street enthralled. Many a sea soned operator has withdrawn the market, out of all sympathy with the proceedings. It is no secret either that not a few hankers look upon | these soaring quotations with con cern. Nevertheless the movement per- sists and practically without interme- diate reaction. Fundamentally, of course, the ex- planation is the same that has heen | advanced all through the rising mar ket of tha year, namely, easy money. Conditions in that respect have been even more favorahle this week to spec- ulation for the advance. Call money has renewed at the lowest of the vear and new loans have been arranged | also at the vear's minimum. Rates on | bankers' acceptances have been cut | and time money has weakened. The Federal Reserve statement shows the same plethora of credit that it has for months past. Moreaver, the action of the Kansas City Bank in cutting its rediscount rate has led to the expec- | tation that similar action will be taken | at New York, if not next week, then | very soon. Anxiety Is Allayed. All this has served to allay anxiety | about brokers' loans. The amount| reported by the New York City mem- | ber banks this week was an increase | of more than $82,000,000 over that of a week ago and brought the total up 1o the sccond highest point it has since publication of the fig The fact that all | the increase has been in demand loans is stock speculation and not borrow- ings hy investment bankers to carry unsold bonds that accounts for the| total. So we have the paradox of| more money being used to carr stocks than ever before and at the same time money rates weakening. It must be admitted that the semi- annual statements of the two largest industrial organizations in the cou try, which were given out this weel also have been a factor in the ma ket. Added to this was the announc ment that the du Pont Co. had bought a large stock interest in United States Steel. Wall Street readily argued that when husiness men pr sumably so well informed were willing to invest money in stock at the high rates now prevailing they were con- fident of the future and the man in the street would do well to follow their example. The market, then, is forecasting a bright future for indus- try as well as reflecting the super- abundance of capital. Trade and Money. Looking to the future the only two things to watch are for any change in money conditions and any setback in general trade. So far the market has ignored all indications of a less favorable outlook in business. For instance, railroad stocks have been in no wise distributed by the June earn- ings statements, which have been making an unfavorable comparison with the same month a year ago. The losses have been not so much in gross as in net, showing that the carriers are having more difficulty in coun- teracting wage increases and other rising expenses. If this trend con- tinues it may finally retard at least the buying of railroad stocks, but nothing of the kind has happened yet, Coming to bonds, there is not mucn to say. In a general way unsold rem- nants of new offerings are being cleared up and the market as a whole shows the effects. There are large | buving orders for financial institu. | tions yet to be filled which prevents any reaction in pri New offerings this week were a little above those of a week ago, but. the total for July was the lowest for any one month in a year. Much of the new financing is for account of oil companies who must have funds to store surplus petroleum in this day of over-production. Foreign issues are likely to figure more largely next month. Germany In Market. Germany is again in the market for money and, as the reception of the United Steel Works issue this week showed, such offerings can bhe readily absorbed, especially when there is a speculative feature attached. mmodity prices are stabilizing. In week's tabulation by Dun's Re- . out of 56 alterations there are 30 advances against 26 declines.

JULY 31 Washington's Positi BY L. A, FLEMING, Washington's growth financially | has long heen a source of wonder,| | even to our hankers themselves and | throughout the country as well )-i | &radually increasing through a num- ber of ways that do not always at- | tract attention As. the years gn facturir interests are estahlishing headquarters here, many aniza- | tions in various lines also, and many | national and international lahor or-| ganizations are making this city the location of their central offices | All this adds largely to the de | mand for office space, frequently for ! | building sites and tends to increase | money in circulation, and the de- | posits of banks, On June 30 our banks reported zains of over £10,000.- 000, as compared with the last previ- | ous call—some banks making a gain | of one and two million dollar | In the good work of aiding in the upbuilding of Washington organized | labor has played no small part Ahout years ago the Lle Workers' Union moved its headqus ters to Washington. At that time there were about 50,000 members on the rolls. In 1922 they incorporated he A henefit association designed to ake care in a hetter way of death benefit features of the hrotherhood. Since then this has hroken two rec- ords for insurance concerns in the United States. Three years after incorporation it had in force $30.687.- more than any other insurance organization had written in the same period of years. At the end of five vears another record had heen exceeded, as it had paid in cash heneficiaries of those insured or held in reserve fund | solely for their henefit $89,000.000 more than the members had paid in | for premiums in the Ave-vear period to. evidencing very plainly the enormous profits resulfing from &ood management and opportunities offered. This_incorporation brings into this city $500,000 in premium its cash nearly £2.000,000, and its investments include many of the hest securities put out hy Jos corpe by great manu- | A Progressive Labor Bo Back in 1922 this same association of electrical workers, ably advised by ctical men, incorporated here th: first legal reserve life insurance com pany organized by a union labor body in the United State. Capital, $100,000; surplus, was subscribed entirely by this brotherhood, either unions scattered over the s individual member: This company, known Co-operative Insurance has $20,000,000 of business in for two years and six months after start- ing operations. The combined insi ance assets of these two companies exceed $2,000,000 in cash. Bank balances of these companies will average about $150,000, while they will reach $200,000 oftener than undev this figure. Total deposits, exclusive | of those of the brotherhood, will ex-| ceed $1,250,000 a year. Between 50 and 60 people are em ploved in the home office. This ac tivity is certainly an aid to the pros- perity of the city. Another Labor Company. The Union Labor Life Insurance Co., incorporated in Maryland, has its home office at Connecticit avenue and Rt street. It is just starting in by ness and has assets of over $700.00). Charles Nesbit, formerly sup> intendent of insurance for the District | of Columbia. has been the adviser ¢f the electrical workers in their insur- ance activities. It is generally known that the American Federation of Labor is the owner of the handsome business structure on the northwest corner of Massachusetts avenue and Ninth street northwest, but it is also a fact that it is one of the few build- ings in t v that is not plastered with a trust—absolutely free of debt. A Labor Paper's Home. Naturally, as the city becomes the headquarters of more and more labor organizations, the organ of tie va our unions, Labor, was published here, It also has a fine building free from deht and an enormous weekly circu- lation, These and many other organizations are attracted to the city largely be- cause of the fact that it is the National Capital. They add to i finances and to its buildings and that, too, without in any way destroying its beauty. Incidentally it is a greal aid to our merchants and practically more or less to all other interests. The deposits of labor individually must also help swell bank deposits, The Junior Order of American Me- chanics also has a fine office building. The Mount Vernon Savings Bank is generally accredited as a labor hank There are in the various sburbs of Washington some 30 hanks of more or less importance. They have asked £100,009, members as Jocal | ountry oi of the order. < the Union ssocis ——————— When commodities hegin to go up as stocks have done because money is easy, then we shall have inflation, indeed.
