INVESTORS ANXIOUS
TO GET INTO THE
FINANCIAL MARKETS
Bid Above Par for Part of
New York City Note Issue.
Demand Reflects Great
Confidence.

As indicating the general feeling Of
confidence which is rapidly developing
among investors. 1t was announced today
from New York that there is en- unusually
large demand for the new city loan of
| 800 600, which has already been over
subscribed. Par and three-quarters is
being bid, but there is no disposition to
sell '.the part of the investors who
were fortunate enough to get some OF
the allotment
The second instalment of the loan. ap-
proximately $,OOO.OOO, is being paid in
today by the bank at the offices of ].
+. Morgan e Co. To the present,
substantial amount of the total issue
has already been delivered to the firm, a
majority of which has been paid in gold
certificates.
Locally the one topic of discussion
which is paramount is the extent to which
banks and trust companies here will be
asked to subscribe to the s1O0, 900, 900 gold
pool. sanctioned by the Federal Reserve
Board for relief of the foreign exchange
situation A special committee of the
Clearing House Association had meet
ing today, but 1t was announced that
no word has yet been received from
Washington as to what apportionment
Philadelphia will be asked to contribute
1t Is understood, however, that the total
will be about sS,O000O0 State banks and
trust companies which are not members
of the Philadelphia Clearing House Asso-
citation Will be asked to join with the
banks here In raising the required
amount.
AS originally plannd by the Clearing
House Association, 1t was intended that
itF special committee should set the
amount to be asked from each member
institution. This was later amended. how
ever, so that the banks will now be asked
to subscribe according to their ability"
New York's apportionment of $i5, 900 900
is now being raised among the 1917 banks
and trust companies in that city. The
Clearing House Association in Chicago
voted today to subscribe Sl6.0O0,000 as that
citys part of the pool.
There was n better feeling in London
today. The Stock Exchange Special
Committee completed its consideration
of the question of reopening and pre-
sented final report to Government
members which now awaits the combined
action of bankers and the Government
Treasury officials. This action, however,
is not expected to be taken while the
moratorium exists. 1t is understood that |
the moratorium will be modified on |
October 4. Despite the reported sinking |
of three British cruisers yesterday in |
vestors still maintain confidence and a !
fairly brisk demand Is reported for gilt |
edge Investment issues.

statements made by leading Cotton Ex-
change interests, efforts are now being
concentrated to carry out a plan to open

CHICAGO Sept. 23-wheat opened
steady to a shade lower today The tone
improved after the start on scattered COM
mission house buying, but the rally was
short lived. There is a large accumula-
tion of wheat in the American North
west and the easy tone there is checking
purchasing.
The domestic consuming demand has
fallen off because Of slackening In the
flour trade. The posting of future values
at Liverpool Will be withheld for few
days more.
At Berlin spot wheat was quoted at
SL54A; at Antwerp, $l.1TIa; at Paris,

this will materially aid the export situa-
tion. The visible supply Of wheat in Eu-
rope is GS,96S,OO0 bushels, against So, 10000

Italy ana the United Kingdom will un-
doubtcdly show a fair Increase in their

more favorable. The receipts of wheat
at Minneapolis and Duluth today were
1903 cars, against 99S cars a year ago:
at Winnipeg, ll20 cars against 1l17 cars;
at Chicago SAG cars against 5S cars.
