CHAHLOTTE DAILY OBSERVES, FEBRUARY 8, 1909. 9 MILLS AND MARKETS CLEWS' FINANCIAL M3TTEK. Reactionary Kflocts of the Pernio Are Now Vividly Felt- Th Tariff Gen erally Blamed, But There Are Other Reuaons ijr the Acute LK-preaMon Inertia mid Weakness lu-nectert In the Stock Exchiuige Operatloua. Correspondence of The Qbserver. New York. Fb. . It is very apparent that wc are feeling U reactionary ef fects of the panic more plainly than at any time since It occurred. There la more hesitation In spirit than baa been experienced in many months. By cen tral consent the tariff is blamed for this ktate of affairs, yet, white an element of delay and uncertainty, It cannot be held responsible for many of the eigne o( depression which are dally coning un der observation. Iron and steel product are Hot drooping because of aa Impend ing change of the tariff, especially (or nothing hurtful is expected In that di rection. Iron and steel price are declin ing simply because of lack of demand. Rairoads are small purchaser, notwith standing the ease with wblch they can raise money, and our finished steel plants are running to about only 60 per cent, of their capacity. Buyers have been dis trustful because steel prices were held up in face of depression after the panic, and they remain distrustful because they know that prices depend more upon arti ficial regulation than upon the open play of competition which is always a safer t"st of real value than ttt arbitrary de cision of great combinations. Copper, too. la weak for similar reasons. Tariff has nothfhg to do with this commodity, but prices have been so long governed by n uncial conditions that buyers have lost confidence and will not take hold except ul lower prices. In this they aro encour ared by large supplies, by the falling off In new hullding enterprises and by the general feeling that the country, whether It like it or not, must endura a period of further quiet and readjustment. ll will be remembered that we were all astonished at the wonderful recuperative activity which ithe country showed after the crash In 1107. It was argued and with good reason that this panio differed from others, inasmuch as th agricul tural classes were prosperous and the country was not burdened with serious overproduction in any quarter. Th re bound from that disaster, however, was entirely too -violent and was overetim ulated by an exceejiv supply of cheap money and by the tremendous restralu lng power of the great corporations or trusts whtoh never before had the op portunity of exereUlng tholr power in this direotlon. Aa a result w fell Into the delusion that the effects of the panio were over and that th old-tLnio prosper ity wtmtd soon be her. This was a tatal mistake, for which we are now enduring th penalty. Those effects have (imply been deferred; and it Is a question now whether the cure would not have been mora effectual and mors rapid if event had not been allowed to take their nat ural courj. The cotlcn goods market, for instance. Is a striking example of the beneficent working ef th open market. No lnduatry tn this country la more free Of combinations and more open to free competition than that of cotton goods. As a result cottons were the first to undergo th necessary readjustment of price and production: and to-day that Bvarket (s in better condition in every re spect than any other great Industry of the country. Nearly all of our great trusts are languishing under the ill ef fects of unwise and artificial regulation. Tariff agitation is, as we know, chiefly blamed for present inertia, and thr la no doubt that many negotiations are held in suspense on thib account; but there are other element of depression, as Just noted; and. as no injurious changes are expected In the tariff, there is little real occasion for hesitancy on that account. The truth la the readjustment process Is still Incomplete. We must come down to lower costs of production ond lower costs of living; then w may be ready lor a fresh start. Meanwhile tariff revision will continue to be used aa a bogey by those who wish to frighten Congress out of making any' Important reductions In the schedules. Stock axohang operation continue to reflect outside conditions, Inertia and weakness being the main features. Many leading operator are absent on their usual winter vacations, and In banking circles there is a marked absence of the optimism so prevalent before the election. The main support of th market appear to be th money situation. Funds are till overabundant, and our banks and trust companies are generally In except ionally sound condition. Their chief com plaint is the difficulty of finding satis factory employment for their money. Had we an elastic currency system and effective redemption arrangements, the situation would quickly correct Itself. A H 1 th 111 effects of this combination of toe much money and too littl businee must be overcome as best we may. Our national finances are becoming a matter of reel concern. The Treasury deficit 1 now g0.oao.00. Bom excellent authori ties estimate that it will reach J135.O00.OO0 at tha end of th fiscal year In Jun. All this is due more to national extravagance than to a falling off in revenue. The lat ter is only temporary and a deficit would have come even had government receipts been maintained because of the reckless Increa of national expenses. With th depletion of th Treasury urplus pubUa deposit la the bank ar being reduoed to a minimum. This, however, has no serious effect upon the money market, sine uch funds quickly find their way back to th bank. Tb condition of the Treasury will ot course be used a an argument against tariff revision, not withstanding th faet that when business revive revenues will increas and could in many instances be actually augmented by a1 Judicious, lowering of some of the schedule. Gold export wer renewed, further shipment having gone to Argentine on London account and mora 1 likely to follow. London 1 now finding less diffi culty In obtaining gold and 1 correspond ingly relieved, so that a better tone 1 reported tn that market a well aa a bet ter Investment demand.

A goodly portion ot the new Uue have ben used for th taking car of maturing obligations, but tha excessive new offerings, since January Ut ar exerting a mor or lea depressing effect. Speculation is . eon fined within narrow limit. Every hn deolln Is followed by mor or le buying to cover en occasional good rallies, but th" gear era! tendency appear te be toward a till lower range of values.. There Is ne pedal source of weakness except gen eral sens that ptflces have been toe high, and that a moderate recession would be both natural and beneficial. Money rates re somewhat firmer owing te the pend ing withdrawal of government deposit, to gold exports, to the withdrawal for trust company reserves gad to an ex paeted large Pacaina loaa, ; ' . HEXKT CLEWS." FINANCIAL REVIEW. New York. Feb. . Speculation In stocks was quiescent last week and the professional element moved with hesita tion and constant shift from en side to th other. There is no further dlsgulM ef (he disappointment felt ever the (low progress of business tn the Iron and steel trade. Demand (or finished products 1 meagre and proc concessloaa on th part of the minor companies ar absorb ing moat of what bualneas there la. with an effect of growing friction with the larger intereata which ar attempting to maln'uin prices, buyers of steel products cite the j.iobttijlc reduction of duties to be cll.-cteU In tLe coming tariff revision as promising to make for lower price. Railroads ar reported to be saanty buyers of steel products as yet. In th case of many railroads various Items of expanse, especially malntalnanc of way and equipment, show Increases over th am Item lu Decembeq of th year pro ceeding. As th average operating ex penses of railroads In December of 130" wer atlll expending compared with the preceding year It must be concluded that the railroads find themselves driven to more liberal outlay for maintenance af ter the strict economies, running to the verge of starvation, which marked the policy of the whole of last year. In the copper trade the reduction In the asking price by the principal producing Interest during the week was the subject of wide spread discussion, but reports as to Its effect in securing orders were confused and even directly conflicting While the United State Bupreme Courts de cision against the wall paper truat outlawing its claims fr collection of a debt had no perceptible direct effect on values of stocks. It was considered of far-reaching Importance in its bearing on the general position of corporations subject to the restraint of Federal government and th expected de- ceslon on the case to tat the commodi ties clause of the Hepburn law and the Important consequences of that decision to the anthracite carriers especially is a subject of anxious concern to holders of those securities. The local money market at last began to show some effect from the numerous. demands making upon It. Money condi tions abroad sensibly relaxed with the settlement between Turkey and Bulgaria and discount rates receded at all the rat forelcn money centre. The heavy demands for capital upon the London market have brought about some congestion of new Issues and the effect ts seen in th depression of gilt edged ecurtttee and in growing oltneuiiy In the flotation of nw lsus.

William Dodd. evan gelist of the Baptist denomination in Georgia, and Rev. David Dodd, of Vanceborn, who were called to her bedelde last week, have returned to their homes. The citizens of this township havo got together on a good roads bill and sent it to the county's representatives in the Legislature, and have asko.l that they have It made a part of the law of the State. Nearly all the property holders of th township are In favor of th bill, or soms other that has for Its purpose th Improve ment of the roads of Mannings town ship. Visitors from Stanhope, which Is some seven miles from here, report that a very strange animal visited that town last Sunday, to-wlt: a mule which was flop eared and crosH-eyed. The Stanhope citizens claim that hey had neved before seen a cross-eyed mule. It Is said that It U able to ioi low a corn row like any other mule, but It la impossible to say when it la looking in one's direction. Dr. S. B.

Pierce a few day ago. charged with stealing cotton sed meal front the 6pring Hope Cotton Oil Company. Th boys had a scheme by which they wer supplying a number of people with meal. Pansy worked at the mill and Charlie rai a dray man. Pansy would deliver the meal to Charlie and Charlie wonld deliver It to the customers. It la not known how long the arrangement had held good, but It was worked one tlm too many, and now Charlie and Pansy are boarding at the expense of Nash county. If the Legislature will give the people of Manning township the road law they want, there 1 some likelihood of the two working th road of the township. There is a prospect that a tobacco warehouse will be erected at this place In time for business next year. There Is no better cotton market1 la the State than Spring Hope.

IXOSE CREDIT. Money Cannot Be- Mario by Selling to Dead beats. Merchants' Journal. No msn ever did buslii'-ss on a Iocs credit policy snd nirvlvil. a credit Is positively necessary In many communities, but the extension of credit, to a "deadbeat" ts never war ranted. Business is conducted to make money, and money cannot b mad by selling o or working for a "deud beat" Of course, there are those who ar perfectly honest but have not th ability to pay. although they think they have. This class are so few that they should not be considered seriously. There are those so clever that they can obtain credit In face of the fact that they ewe every other merchant tn the comrnunlty, provided: That there does not exist a well organized Retail Merchants' Associa tion. Right here. It should be exdalned that If an association of retailers is properly organised, that every per son In that particular community ts rated on the following particular point: "Prompt pay," "medium pay." "slow pay," "undesirable cus tomer, "require cash." "lesallv re sponsible," "Inquire at omre," "shop lifter." "make c. o. deUvry." This system la saving merchants thousands of dollars to sav nothing of th worry and embarrassment usually caused by dealing with those who would defraud. It's a pleasure to work for money and the right kind of charity, but it ts not very pleasant to work for nothing and to get "cussed out" bv those whom yon have befriended.
