How long they can keep prices up Is problematical, however, for the average human being la now begin- ning to light back in prtca Jumps by go- ing without things as much as pos- sible. Milk distributers were not In the leaat worried about the freight increases, which affect their commodity less than others, since only a 20 per cent raise Is permitted. They hastened to explain that the Jump of one cent a quart Which went Into effect August 1 would not the freight Increase. Loton Horton, president of the Sheff- ield Farms Company, explained without visible emotion that there was only one place to get back the amount of the freight Increase, and that was In the selling price. , Whenever the railroads make their idjustment we will follow with ours he promised. \I don't know how much s quart that will mean.\ traffic manager of the T C Lincoln, Merchants Association, said yesterday the decision of the in- terstate he looked upon Commerce Commission aa an emergency act. \The commission could not posslDiy have held hearings and arrived at -- an equitable readjustment within a year or eighteen months,\ he said. \The rail- roads could not wait that long tor the needed udded revenue. It will be stfme months before the lull effects of the new rates can be determined. During that time we will study them and prob- ably ask for a readjustment based on the result of our observation and ex- perience.\ Commuters and others who use the Ixmg Island Railroad will be relieved to know that the Interstate decision does not affect that railroad, alnee It Is not engaged In Interstate commerce, Alfred M Barrett, Deputy Publlo Service Com- missioner, explained yesterday. The Public Service Commission, which haa exclusive Jurisdiction, Is now consideri- ng Increases In passenger and freight rstoB applied for by the Long Island. Any Increase granted will be based upon a return of 6 per cent on the value of the railroad property. The freight congestion on the Erie, It to announced yesterday, Is being materially as a result of co- operation by shippers. More freight It being forwarded to Its destination be- came of Intensive loading, solid train loads from plants to definite points and do?er contact between industries and the railroad. NEW FREIGHT DELAY PENALTY Open Top, Coal, Coke and Lamner ran Affected by Ortsr. Washington, Aug. 2.

BANKERS HOLD Continued from First Page. be favorable to any new financing plana. \Regarding new financing, the first grade roads already have demonstrated thnlr ability to obtain funds, but the sec- ond grade roads undoubtedly will still meet with difficulties. Much will depend upon how tile Increased rates affect In- dividual properties. Only estimates can now be obtained , and bonds cannot ba floated on estimates. While I do not look for early railroad financing In other than relatively small volume, I am well pleased with the decision of the Interstate Coommerce Commission and believe a definite step forward haa been taken In the rehabilitation of railroad credit.\ Charlea Hayden, prominent In Indus- trial and railroad affairs, said that the Increase, 'n hit opinion, la satisfactory. \It la nt thing more,\ he added, \than the commission should have done and I am pleased that It took the action It did. There la one point In the situation, how- ever, and that Is that the higher tariff should not be considered a reason for further wage Increases, as these In- creased cost will not cause any ma terlal lncrense In commodity cost\ Hale Holden, president of the Bur- lington line, said: \While thore may be a alight temporary Increase In the prices of some commodities, predicated on the rat Increase, this will be negli- gible. \The Increased freight rates will allow the railroads to restore their old efficiency In transportation, and this eventually will mean faster and wider distribution of foodstuffs, fuel and other necessities. \Rolling stock can be Improved nmi new cara and locomotives built Ter- minal facilities can be Increased, reliev- ing freight congestion. The rate In- creases may be regarded very optimis- tically by the public, I believe.\ W. H. Woodin, president of the Ameri- can Car and Foundry Company, said: \This action of the Interstate Com- merce Commission Is one of tho greatest constructive events that havo happened In this country for a long time. \This means the placing of the credits of the railroads In such a position that they are not only enabled to purchase their very much needed requirements but will undoubtedly broaden the mar- ket for the Issuance of all kinds Of railroad securities to provide money for development \To my mind the most gratifying phase of this decision Is the recognition by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion of not only the desperate condition of the railroads but their acceptance of tho provisions of the act\ Forecast Better Serrlce. C. W. Huntington, president of the Virginian Railway, expressed himself as much pleased with the Interstate Com- merce Commlslson's rate decision. \Ef-Icle- nt railroad service is Indispensable to the Industrial, commercial and civic wel- fare of the country,\ said Mr. Hunting- ton, \and the rate Increase Is In recog- nition 6f obvious conditions with which the publlo Is acquainted. As to Its suf- ficiency, I believe the figures have been drawn as carefully as they could have been drawn In advance. Tight money, of course, remains a chief obstacle to financing, but the rate Increase will no doubt improve the credit of railroads with tho banks.\ James H. Post, president or director of many sugar companies, says; \The rate Increase should be reflected In an Increased measure of prosperity for the railroads. The public, of course, has to pay the larger wages that have been granted railroad employes. Unfortu- nately, every article Is transported sev- eral times as a rule In raw and manu- factured form, and the new rates will be reflected In prices, adding to the already burdensome cost of living.\ F. F. FlUpatrlck, president of the Railway Steel Spring Company, speak- ing about the freight rate Increase, said the Interstate Commerce Commission haa taken a broad view of the situa- tion. \The award Is constructive,\ he con- tinued. \The new rates Hhould allow the railroads to carry out their plans for the purchase of additional equip- ment, make possible the movement of a large amount of business, and have healthy effect on the general situation, especially the congestion at the steel mills.\ PUTS COST TO PUBLIC AT BILLION AND HALF Merchandisers' President Ad- vises Conservative Buying. Sttrial to Tit BCN AND NSW TOSK HSSALD. Chicago,. Aug. 2. The Increased freight rate allowed to the railroads will coat the public $1,(00.000,000 plus a percentage of the same figure equiva- lent to the average net profit of all busi- ness. This view was expressed by Alber Levy, president of the Manufacturers and Importers Association of America, which opened to-d- Its seventeenth an- nual merchandise exhibition here. \The newspapers scarcely had an- nounced tho rate Increases before manu- facturers were figuring tho effect on prices.\ Mr. Levy stated. \Of course, the public will have to bear the Increase In shipping charges. The public will, as a matter of fact have to pay more than that, because an Increase In rates means an Increase In Investment. \Never can we recall a time when there has been so much uncertainty among merchandisers,\ he went on. \No one can say Just what will happen to business. Everything seems to depend to a large extent upon the railroad situa- tion. Wo are urging buyers here from all parts of the country to buy and they are doing so. There will undoubtedly be little change In the cost of luxuries, but In standard goods we cannot say th effect with any real assurance.\ B. & O.

Is the furniture reliable? Is it in good taste and design? Is it what you need? Is it worth the price to you? These are the tests you will make when you come to see the furniture. These are the tests that prove the sale to each individual. It is fair to tell you that Wanamaker furniture is always sold at the lowest prices of the year in August and February (because by holding this sale in dull seasons both we and the manu- facturers effect economies which show in the prices) and that those who anticipate their six-mont- needs get the advantages. Since purchases of furniture often run into the thousands of it pays to forego or delay a or fo run in from a summer resort to get the August prices and economies.
