(Speglnl to The Banner)
New York, May 14.—Germany’s
final acceptance of the ultimatum of
the Allies fulfills the predictions of
the past month and warrants the
optimism of dealers In foreign ex
change who have held their bills for
higher figures. There are still many
serious financial problems to be solv-
’•! In connection with the whole mat.
er. us the publication of the detailed
srms of payment clearly shows,
v’cvertheless the technical accept
ance of the reparations plan at least
opens the way to practical considera
tion of the coming financing and of
the share which we ourselves are
likely to take therein. As soon as the
market tins had time to digest the
terms it should show the beneficial
effect of the news.
Better Railroad Prospecta.
The better earning situation of the
railroads as reported during the past
week is again bringing the rails for
ward In tile investment market and
transactions in these issues have as
slimed a much greater activity than
has been true for some time past, not
withstanding temporaVy setbacks of
values. New testimony of railroad
leaders before thf* Interstate Com
merce ronmilttee has pointed to dis
continuance of excessive government
competition through low freight rates
on ships, free tolls on tile 'Panama
canal and other forms of subsidy as
the most feasible way of relieving the
dangerous position In which the roads
now find themselves. Meantime the
economies already made are begin
nfng to bear fruit, and as more and
more railroad reports are made pub
lie it seems plainer that many of the
lines are getting back to a position
In which they nre able to cover their
expenses out of current earnings. II
Is announced that the railroad board
will render Its decision on the wage
dispute on the 15th of next month
That Is still some distance off, but It
Is not doubled that the roads will be
accorded the right to reduce wages
and Gils continues to be the Incentive
(or picking up railroad shares.
Industrial Developments.
Further decline In the unfilled ord
era of the United States Steel cor
poration by about 440,000 tone for the
month of April brings the orders now
an hand down to the lowest leve’
they have reached for a long time, nl
though the volume still remaining on
the books Is some 5,500,000 tons. The
unsatisfactory feature of the stee'
business does not lie In the volume
on band but in the fact that demand ir
still evidently falling off,- recent
changes not having sufficed to revive
It. Conditions In the steel industry
however, are not paralleled in somr
other lines, there being a marked
growth In textile activity and a steady
extension of demand in sundry of.ie-
hranches of trade. The unemploy
ment reports of the bureau of lane*-
statistics show a technical rcductlci
drlng April, but they do not take .'ac
count of events since that time nor
are their figures representative of tjir
■HillreJ situation. A feature of Ini
portanco Is the prospect of n lar-jc
wheat yield, this year. This mean-

good reason for this state of affairs
can be assigned other than the delay
of the readjustment process. The

--The conditions are worse for us
than they were when food was issued

the peasants are told they may sell

shops. And the peasants about Pet-
rograd have little food to sell. They
don't want paper rabies.
“They even refuse all sorts of man
ufactured articles In exchange for
wbat little food they may have. They
nre afraid to give it up, as they are
not sure that they can get another
crop the coming year.
“The Petrograd district Is so sterile
