PREPARING APPEAL IN
STEAMSHIP POOL CASE
Government will Take Adverse De-
cision Before U. S. Supreme Court.

cision Before U. S. Supreme Court.
Although the war has .demoralized the
steamship conferences in all parts Of the
world, preparations are being hurried by
the United States District Attorney for
taking an appeal from the recent de-
cision Of the United States District Court
of New York in the North Atlantic
steamship passenger pool suit under the
Sherman antitrust law.
The Federal District Court, while con-
demning the use of lighting ships" ruled
that the conference was not Illegal These
fighting ships" were placed temporarily
in service with reduced rates to compete
against a vessel whose owners were rot
members of the conference. The action
of the court placed the burden OF carry
Ing the case to the Supreme Court on the
United States Attorney.
1t is expected that the Government will
be represented before the Supreme Court
by q. Carroll Todd assistant to tn At
torney General, assisted by Henry II.
Cutler, counsel in District Attorney H.
Snowden Marshalls office in New York,
who conducted the case against the
steamship companies before the United
States District Court.
Unprecedented conditions confront
steamship companies because of the war,
and 1t is exceedingly doubtful that any
conferences will be in existence at the
end of hostilities. The North German
Lloyd and the Hamburg-American COM
panies, two of the strongest factors in
the North Atlantic pool, are at present
completely tied up. Their big fleets,
which formerly carried a vast amount
Of the worlds passengers and freight
are interned for fear of capture, and not
one vessel Is known to be steaming on the
seven seas other than those converted
into auxiliary warships.

MARKET FEATURE IS
ACTIVE DEMAND FOR
HIGH GRADE BONDS
Railroad Securities Yielding
Five Per Cent. or More
Are Wanted Particularly
bv Small Investors.

An developments in financial and COM
,,.rcial affairs today were of favorable
,horseter. The New York city issues
.u.-s IN brisk demand, with more active
,,adIng than has been noted at any time
,,ncA the few days after the subscription
closed. The one-year notes sold at 1OoSs.
THE three year bonds were in good de-
r,and at 1925, and there was unusually
large trading in the prior city issues.
one OF the governors of the New York
s,otk Exchange said that the demand for
railroad bonds had disappeared, with the
hsrlnning of the rate inquiry, but a can
vass of bond houses indicates that this
statement is not we'll founded. Many
o,ders are in bond brokers' hands for
amounts ranging from $4,000 to 100000.
PRIVATE INVESTORS ACTIVE.
these orders are being filled as bonds
around per cent. basis can be OBJ
tanned. The demand for both municipal
and railroad issues comes largely from
private investors and reflects the accum-
uatIon of funds which has been in
nrogress for some time. Money conditions
are easier, but the improvement is not
vet reflected in ruling rates.
Some loans are being made daily both
on call. and time, but the bulk of Wall
street accommodations remains at in
terest charges practically unchanged from
those which were established early In
August,
FOREIGN EXCHANGE WEAK.

cause of exchange being created in large
volume in all parts of the country. This
morning demand sold down to A.94ss,
drop of 15s since yesterday morning and
compared with s49s less than one week
ago. There have been sales of railroad
Rechmarks as low as So in arrangement

RUSHING WORK ON PIER
Reading Awards Contract for Re
building Burned Structure.

No time will be lost by the Philadelphia
and Reading Railway Company in re-
constructing the modern pier at Della
ware avenue and Catharine street, which
was swept by fire last week The con-
tract for the reconstruction has been
placed with Lewis F. Shoemaker &
Co, The Shoemaker Company was
the original builder of the big structure.
which was nearing completion when the
fire destroyed most OF the superstructure.
The pier cost $4,000. The estima ted
damage caused by the fire was half this
sum. 1t will be necessary to replace
about 1000 tons OF the structural iron
work. An army of men have been placed
at work to clear away the debris and as
soon as this work is finished. rebuilding
will begin.

REDUCTIONS ARE MADE
IN WAR RISK INSURANCE
Only on Shipments Through English
Channel Has There Been Increase.

Channel Has There Been Increase.
Less fear Of German commerce de-
stroyers has influenced war risk insur-
ance underwriters to reduce rates on
freight shipments on British and French
steamers.
The per cent rate which has been in
force, a shipment to the east coast of
England at Scotland, north Of Dover, will
stand and there is an increase in rates
on exports to Rotterdam by way Of the
English Channel. The reasons therefor
are the prevalence Of explosive mines in
the channel and recent activities of Ger
man submarines in that territory.
