FINANCIAL RECORD
HERE AND ABROAD
Acceptance Privilege May
Assist Trade to Hold
Up Bond Prices.

With the return Of the President 70
Washington announcement was made
that he would In day or two cali on
Congress to enact measures for war
taxes. How necessary this IL appears
from the loss in August of some Sill.
100000 in customs receipts In COMPARE
SON with 1913, the total for the month
being under $l9,5o0,000. II is fortu-
nate that the administration has de-
ctded on raising funds by taxation in
stead OF through a bond issue that
would without doubt have TO be issued
at high rate Of interest, and so dis
turb the prices Of government bonds
now outstanding.
From Washington also came the an
nouncement that the Secretary Of the
Treasury looked for organization of
the new reserve banks around the first
Of next month, but It is hoped that
better counsel will prevail In the Fed
eral Reserve Board and that the new
institutions will not be open for
months. The proposed amendment that
would allow member banks to accept
domestic bills is in line with the rec
concentrations of financiers here. II,
IS appears from the extension Of the
moratorium in Great Britain to Oc-
tober 4, the present tie-up Of bank
funds In Stock Exchange collateral Is
to De continued, bank acceptances may
form valuable means Of extend
Ing credit to commercial borrowers.
Through them 1t will be possible for
q bank acquainted with the resources
Of borrowers to enable them to draw on
funds of interior institutions where
resources are freer without depicting
its own reserves. Already some start
has been made in this direction by state
banks in New York, but the privilege
is new one and it has not yet been
generally availed of.
In London yesterday it was an
nounced that Stock Exchange settle
ments had been postponed until further
notice because Of extension Of the
moratorium. Call money was freely
offered in the British capital at 2l5
per cent, and discount rates in the open
market were from an to 4% per cent.
The Bank of England is being called on
to take fewer bills, and stronger re-
turn than last weeks is expected to be
made public to-day. Yesterday the
Bank took in around $4,000 in gold.
Here money conditions were practi-
cally unchanged, with rates nominal
and little or no business done. Com
mercial paper is being bought only by
out-of-town institutions, and by them
to small amount. Since Friday the
banks have lost to the Sub-Treasury
around S4,500,000. Foreign exchange
rates were fairly steady and little bust
ness was done. Grain bills were I'M
usually scarce, British buyers ap-
parently awaiting a reaction in prices,
which did not appear yesterday. Steel
trade authorities reported some clos
ing of foreign orders to Offset the de-
crease in domestic bookings and pre-
dicted an increase in untitled tonnage
in the Steel Corporations forthcoming
statement.

RIPLEY NOT CHEERFUL
Prospects for Large Railroad
Earnings Not Bright.

E. P. Ripley, president Of the Atchi-
son, Topeka / Santa Fe Railway, who
is in New York, did not take cheer
fyI view Yesterday over the prospects
of large railroad earnings in the near near
future. So far as the Atchison was
concerned, he said the closing dow, down on Oh
two big copper mines on its lines on
sccounf of the European war would
affect its gross earnings. When these ;e
mines are producing at normal ~
means $2,500,000 yearly to the roao'S
total revenues. .l..as
Mr.. Ripley said there were evidences
that railway traffic in northern Mexico
will improve shortly, and he expects
New England to take her usual snare
of the cotton crop. -, he
VI Jsnan may buy more than usual, ne
ssssTted. but her purchases are not
likely Ia to be large in proportion to III. the
total crop The 6 Atch h usually Is, tSs eot
t t6vS crop, which means $5,OoO,Ooo IN
cross revenues.

Notices Sent by Conference
Liverpool Message on Strad-
dles-Spot Lower at Augusta.

A meeting Of ell Cotton Exchange
members having open contracts was
called by President Cone, of the New
York exchange, yesterday afternoon, 70
receive the report Of the conference
committee at 10 o'clock this morning.
II was generally supposed that this no,
tice meant that the committee mad
reached some decision as to the proper
basis for liquidating the international
interest which was left outstanding
when the exchanges we're closed so sud
denly ut the end of July. This view
was strengthened by an official cable
from the Liverpool Cotton Association
saving: Uniform your members VINO
have contracts open that we will ADMIT
their orders to close same through
ballot, good until cancelled, where they
40 desire. We suggest that orders De
limited to tho price fixed by our com.
mittee. Twenty-four hours notice OF
any change from previous prices VIII
be given" No Information was avail
able as to the terms Of settlement that
might be proposed by the committee
but local brokers' regarded the notices
"a foreshadowing a decided step toward
a resumption of active business.
Rumors of large purchases or spot
cotton by Japan were circulating mere
again, but could not be confirmed in
trade circles, while practically all ad-
vices from the South indicated that
cotton was Offering at still lower prices
The Augusta spot market was &c
lower. at 7%c for middling, with sales
of SO7 bales, and spot brokers report
that cotton was generally from % to &c
easier in both Alabama and Georgia
Yesterday, bringing prices nearer to a
parity with the Southwest. Aside from
the talk of activity on the part OF jap
anese buyers, little is heard OF export
demand. Southern press advices leave
little doubt that new warehouses are
being erected in almost every cotton
growing community Of Importance. 80
far as these are constructed along per-
manent lines they will exercise an i'm
nortant influence on marketing opera
tions in future and under normal trade
conditions, and will result in a more
even distribution of Southern offerings
throughout the season. Weather condl-
tions are considered generally favor
able.
