OF
Federal Reserve Bank Re
ports Prosperity in Sight. .
GROSS EARNINGS DECLINE
Easing or Interest Kates Is Noted
" and Market Is Absorbing
Paper Reasonably Well.
"WASHINGTON, T. C. Feb. 20.
Business throughout the country, pro
gressing through well-defined circles,
is nearlng the Doint of the upward
swing of the economic pendulum, ac
cording to the annual report of the
federal reserve board transmitted to
day to congress.
There are those," the report eald.
"who believe that the beginning of
revival is not far distant. When It
does definitely set In it will be fol
lowed In due course by a new era of
prosperity."
Business, in one of Its 'long swings
from prosperity, the report said, has
followed its usual rotation." This ro
tation is described as follows:
Business activity and increased pro
tection; excessive expansion and spec
ulation, followed hitherto by panic
and forced liquidation; a long period
of slow liquidation, business depres
sion and stagnation and then revival.
Reaction Follow Full Tide.
"In the light of recent experience,"
, the report warned, "we should re
member when we again enter into a
period of full prosperity,- that a re
action will follow sooner or later; and
If the flo-ar of the incoming tide can
be controlled so that the crest may
. not be reached too rapidly nor rise
too Wg-h the subsequent reaction will
be less severe and the next period of
Industrial and commercial activity
and general prosperity will be marked
by saner methods, greater achieve
ment along constructive lines and by
a longer duration than any which we
have had before."
The earning assets of all federal re
serve banks, the report said, amounted
on December 28, 1921, to U.535,851,000
compared with $3,263,027,000 on De
cember 31. 1920, a reduction of 53
per cent, which was accompanied by
a steady Increase In gold reserve and
an almost continuous decrease in fed
eral reserve note circulation.
Gross earnings of the federal re
serve banks for 1921, the report con
tinued, amounted to $122,865,000 com
pared with $181,297,000 in 1920. Mem
ber bank borrowings, according to the
report, showed a continuous decline
from $2,687,000,000 at the end of 1920
to about $1,144,000,000 at the end of
1921, due to a reduction of more than
$900,000,000 in the volume of federal
reserve notes in circulation. .
Interest Bates Easier.
On December 28, the report con
tinued, the federal reserve banks held
a gold reserve of $2,870,000,000.
"For some months past," the report
said, "there has been a marked eas
ing of interest. Notwithstanding some
unfavorable features in the revenue
laws, the investment market is now
absorbing securities at reasonable
rates which could not have been con
sidered a few months ago. Market
quotations of liberty bonds . . . .
are now approaching par. Good rail
road and industrial bonds have also
appreciated, and there have been
some noticeable advances in standard
6tocks. High commodity prices and
great business activity usually mean
lower prices for bonds and other se
curities yielding a fixed income, while
reduced commodity prices and lower
money rates bring higher market
prices for bonds."

CARGO ROUTING HELD FAIR
O.-W. R. & X. DENIES ACTION
AGAINST THIS PORT.
Freight Discrimination to Give
Seattle Preference Declared ,
to Be Without Basis.
The agreement of the Union Pacific
system and ; the General Steamship
corporation for mutual preference and
co-operation is in no way discrim
inatory against Portland in favor of
Seattle, according to A. S. Edmonds,
traffic manager for the Oregon
Washington Railroad & Navigation
company. The agreement provides that
wherever possible, freight brought to
this coast in vessels of the General
Steamship corporation, and. destined
for points overland in the United
States and Canada, will be routed via
the Union Pacific system, and con
versely, freight for Australia, New
Zealand and the west coast of Cen
tral and South America, originating
on the lines of the Union Pacific sys
tem, will be routed whenever possible
via the, lines of the General Steam
ship corporation.
The impression that the agreement
favored Seattle as against Portland
arose from the presentation to the
United States senate by Senator Jones
of - Washington of a summary pre
pared by the interstate commerce
commission, covering agreements be
tween railroad and steamship lines.
In this summary it was stated that
the General Steamship corporation
proposed to establish steamship serv
ice from Seattle to Australia and New
Zealand and to the South and Cen
tral American west coast, but no
mention was made of the fact that
Fortland was to be served by both
lines.
As a matter of fact, it is extremely
doubtful if the agreement between
the railroad company and steamship
corporation has affected the routing
of a ton of freight since it was exe
cuted. Practically all, if not quite
all, of the cargo carried from Puget
sound and the Columbia river by ves
sels of the General Steamship corpo
ration to Australia and New Zealand,
and also to Central and South Amer
ica, is local freight, originating in
the territory Immediately tributary to
the port of loading. In this class are
lumber, canned goods, wheat and
flour. No overland freight has been
loaded here into steamers of the Gen
eral Steamship corporation, and little
if any such freight has been carried
by them from Puget sound. ,
. The situation in regard to the in
ward freight is analogous, though
some overland freight is brought to
this coast by these steamers. All
such freight is handled naturally at
San Francisco and Puget sound ports,
for these ports are the receivers of
the local inward freight.
CITY OF LINCOLN IS HERE
Steamer Is to Take 4000 Tons of
Wheat and Flour.
The steamer City of Lincoln of the
Ellerman's Wilson line, represented
here by Norton, Lilly & Co., arrived
at the Eastern & Western mill at 5
P. M. yesterday and will be lined
there for a part cargo of 4000 tons of
wheat and flour which she will load
here for the United Kingdom. In ad
dition to the cereal cargo she will
load about 500,000 feet of lumber and
5000 cases of caned goo'ds here.
The steamer City of Rangoon, the
next of the Ellerman's Wilson boats
to call at Portland, is expected here
about the middle of March and will
load at least 2000 tons of grain at
this port. One thousand tons have
been booked and space is still open
for the steamer City of Bombay in
April.
The Isthmian line steamer Steel Ex
porter will be due here Thursday
from Baltimore via San Francisco
with 1500 tons of tinplate, and will be
followed by the steamer Hanley with
a like amount of the same commodity.
The steamers Robin Goodfellow and
Robin Adair are scheduled to reach
Portland before the end of the month
with steel and other freight from the
Atlantic coast.

Washington: d. c, Feb. 20. The

PHONOGRAPH GIVEN SHIP
OKLAHOMA TOWN'S PRESENT
NOW ON STEAMER VINITA.
Shipping Board Vessel Named In
Honor of City Exceeding Its
Quota in Victory Loan.
A beautiful cabinet phonograph, the
gift of the citizens of the town of
Vinita, Okla., has been set up and Is
making . music In the saloon of the
shipping-board steamer Vinita, named
after the Oklahoma town in honor of
the original Vinita's accomplishment
in exceeding her quota in the victory
loan campaign. The phonograph bears
an engraved silver plate stating that
It is the gift of the citizens of Vinita,
Okla.
The gift of the phonograph Is the
outgrowth of a correspondence which
started last October when the officers
of the steamer Vinita wrote from
Shanghai, China, to the major and
citizens or Vinita, asking for the pho
nograph as a symbol of the senti
mental attachment between the town
and the ship. A newspaper of Vinita
Okla., started a subscription and
raised J50 of a phonograph fund. Mrs.
Agnes Ogletree of Vinita then took
charge of the campaign and raised the
balance with a Mother Goose carnival.
Though Intended for a Christmas
present, the phonograph did not reach
the ship -until a few days ago for the
reason that the steamer Vinita was on
a three months' jaunt across the Pa
clfic in the service of the Columbia
Pacific Shipping company. The Vinita
has only her complement of officers
and a skeleton crew at present, but
the new music box will afford enter
tainment for many monotonous days
and nights on the next voyage, which
will include Hongkong and Manila, on
the far side of a large ocean.
