(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —May 17— W* had a cheerful message today from the Secretary of Treasury. There are two Important points in the statement. One is the prediction of more favorable conditions for the immediate future, and the second is that prices, in his opinion, have reached their lowest level, and that lower values are highly Improbable. He anticipates an upward swing In business with several years of prosperity. What better news or more cheering words could we want? This statement comes at an important time, at a time when the market so to speak was in the balance, and it undoubtedly did much to confirm friends of the market in their views. Technically, the market was in an excellent position to respond either to favor able developments or to such optimistic statements. The market had been sold to such an extent that an urgent demand existed today by borrowers of stocks. At no time today was there any trading that could be called significant, but there was a constant demand in moderate quantities for stocks and the noticeable feature was an entire absence of pressure, so that every buying order had its full effect on values and there Is now every reason to expect a broadening in this demand and a gradual improvement in values.

GRAINS LOSE EARLY GAINS Encouraging Crop Reports Chief Mart Influence. CHICAGO, May 17.—Grain prices advanced slightly due to lack of selling pressure during the early trading on the Chicago board of trade today. On encouraging crop reports toward the close, considerable selling appeared and most of the early gains were lost. Provisions closed lower. May wheat opened at $1.46%, up %c, and closed off %c. July wheat opened up %c at $1.15% and closed down %c. May corn after opening off %e at 59%c, dropped an additional %c at the close. July corn closed off %c, after opening at 65%c, unchanged. September corn closed off %c at 64%c, after opening off %c. May oats opened off %c at 36%c and closed off %c. July lost %c after opening unchanged at 38%c. September oats opened unchanged at 39%c and closed down %e. (By Thomson St McKinnon.) —May 17Wheat—The need of rains in portions of the Southwest has been the prime motive in the wheat market today. Another advance In cush wheat also helped prices, but it was reported from the Southwest that offerings from the country were increasing by tbe advance./ Premiums here and elsewhere have ruled firm and higher. Millers have been inquiring for small lots, but the demand from that source is by no means urgent. A small amount ot wheat was reported sold to Belgium for July shipment. It was also claimed that Germany would re-enter the market as a buyer after the first of next mouth. In the absence of any radical news as to the condition of the growing crop, and In the face of apprehension derived from possibilities of legislation, the market 1s giving a good account of itself. This is, undoubtedly, because of the situation In the cash market. The probability of an approximate exhaustion of our reserves, together with the close adjustment between world's requirements and supply, should keep the undertone of the market firm and make it sensitive to unfavorable crop news. Corn and Oats—Today’s receipts of corn and oats were surprisingly small, but this was overlooked in the face of a slow demand, and under the common knowledge of large reserves still back. These markets are showing an inclination to refuse to participate in any strength shown in the wheat market. Provisions—The liberal increase in the stocks of lard in Chicago being somewhat unusual for this time of year prompted considerable selling, included In which brokers for smaller packers were seen. It will probably be necessary to discover a better outlet for the manufactured article If prices are to be stimulated. CHICAGO GRAIN. —May 17WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

BUSINESS MEN PRESENT VIEWS Make Appeal to Government to Adopt ‘Constructive’ Policy. NEW YORK, May 17.—American business men, through the National Association of Manufacturers, today appealed to the Government in promoting domestic prosperity by the following means: Adopt a "constructive” International policy. Repeal the excess profits tax and establish a direct sales tax. Assist the railroads in restoring “normal conditions of employment.” For the country as a whole the association urged: Universal adoption of the open shop principle. Elimination of strikes. Promotion of a greater spirit of coooperation between employers and employes. Increased practice of thrift. The appeal was made for the association by its president, Stephen C. Manion of Pittsburgh, in his annual address. ‘‘A constructive legislative treatment of our international policies, taxation methods and railroad difficulties will go far toward hastening the return of the country to a normal business basis,” he said. "With the savings bank deposits increasing a period of freedom from strikes and a greater spirit of cooperation between men and management in Industry, I firmly believe our trade uncertainty will quickly disappear and in its place will come a period of sound substantial prosperity.” Regarding the “open shop,” Mason said this principle within the last year has aroused the greater measure of public Rapport than ever before. SAYS GAIN IN REVENUES LAGS Rail Head Presents Operating Expense Figures. WASHINGTON, May 17—Steady increases in the ratio of operating expenses to net revenues of tbe railroads of the United States since 1912 were revealed by tables read into the records of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee today by Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, when he resumed his testimony as the second witness called by the committee in its investigation of the Nation’', transportation problem. During the same perriod, Willard told the committee, the return on property value has declined from an average of approximately 5 per cent up to 1917 to .32 per cent In 1920 and to .01 per cent in February, 1921. The railroads showed no abnormal changes In net revenues, Willard said, notwithstanding a constant but slight decrease in the rate per ton mile on traffic handled and a gradual Increase In prices of commodities and In rates of pay. The operating ratio averaged about 70 per cent for the period 1912-1915. according to his statement, due to increases in taxes and continued expenditures of additional capital. Ratios of operating expenses to earnings were given as 65.54 per cent In 1916 and 93.47 per cent in 1920. "It will be noted,” he said, "that, while the expense basts of 1920 over 1918 was increased 136.34 per cent, the revenue basis during the same period was increased qnly 51.68 per cent. Asa result the ratio of operating expenses to operating revenues, which in 1916 was actually 67.32 per cent, becomes 107.31 per cent when revenues and expenses are restated to 1920 costs and revenue basis. Instead of earning a net railway operating income of $447,541,000, as was done In 1916, there would be a deficit of $359,245,000.”
