Never Intended to Have Vote.
The attitude OF the Washington Board
OF Trade regarding suffrage for the Dis
trict was clearly expressed Tuesday night
at Its monthly meeting in the indorse-
ment given the address OF Chief Justice
Covington, Of the District Supreme Court
Justice Covington declared that he be-
lieved the citizens OF the District are bet

that the city is better serve by Congress
now than it would be under independent
government.
Washington Is not a commercial city.
II was not intended to be such when 1t
was laid out. And our revenues are not
sufficient to make US an independent
community, inasmuch as the Federal gov
ernment retained large areas within the
city and district when planned by our
forefathers-
II believe that the sentiment OF the
board was conveyed in the hearty indorse-
ment OF the Justices address,"

which proves that they have recovered
their COURAGE
Hope for Early opening.

Commission houses believe that trading
in stocks under restrictions will be re-
sumed on the floor Of the stock exchange
before a great while. About 100 listed
stocks. including every important issue
except Steel common, are passing through
the clearing houses at prices equal to or
above the closing quotations Of July 30,
last, less one dividend IL paid since then.
It is as a test of the burden of selling
pressure that the transactions on the
stock exchange since the reopening Sat-
urday have been important. Little Of the
old-time speculation and very little trad
ing even in the convertibles and other
speculative issues, was anticipated when
1t was decided to do business in the bond
department
But both the clearing house committee
and the committee Of five were alive to
the chance OF heavy liquidation. particu-
larly for foreign account. Both had been
deferred by circumstantial reports of i'm
pending foreign liquidation from putting
the stamp of approval on the resumption
plan two weeks before it was decided
upon.
On the reopening under the plan. bank
ers and brokers thought much more Of
the amount of bonds that would be Of
fered than of such changes from July 30
prices as might be reported.

A. R.R. EXTENDING
EXCHANGING PRIVILEGE
Unified Mortgage Fifty-year IS May
Be Held Until June l..
Next Year.

The directors Of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company have adopted a
resolution extending to June l. 1915. the
privilege Of exchanging unified mortgags
50-year 4 per cent bonds for general uni
fled mortgage 5O-year series "A" 4 /;
per cent bonds.
1t will be recalled that last April the
company announced that its directors
and stockholders had voted to close the
unified per cent mortgage dated No
vember l6, 1909. At the same time, a new
general unified mortgage. practically
similar to the old one in terms and au-
thorized amount except that instead Of
the interest being limited 10 per cent,
II could be fixed at various rates but not
exceeding per cent, was issued.
Under the new mortgage an issue Of
bonds known as series IA bearing IL
per cent and dated June ], 1914 was au-
thorized. The amount was so, S47, ,O0O
which were offered in exchange on a
parity basis for a like amount Of the
bonds under the old mortgage. At the
time Of issue the directors liked Decem-
Der l. 1914 as the final date on which the
exchange could be made. As already not
ed, this time has now been extended TO
June |. 1915.
When the offer was made it was an
nounced officially that Of the old bonds
81, $50, 600 were in the treasury OF the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad Company, and
H, 0oS. 600 in the treasury OF the Atlantic
Coast Line Company and that they would
be exchanged for the new bonds.
1t was noted also in the ofacial an
that as the new bonds would
bear interest at 4 1-2 per cent from June
!, 1914, II the exchange were made before
that date, the coupons for so then due
upon each surrendered bond. would be
paid in cash when the exchange was
made

SOUTHERN FINANCING
NEARING COMPLETION
First Consolidated Mortgage SIS Will
Pay for Maturing Richmond
and Danyille's.

On January 1 the Southern Railway
Company has maturing S722.oOO per cent
Richmond and Danville division consotr
dated mortgage gold bonds. It is under
stood that to meet this obligation the
company will dispose of some of its first
consolidated mortgage per cent bonds
7Y, 200.
The provisions OF the indentures secur-
ing the first consolidated mortgage at
the time II was authorized were that an
amount equal to the total Of the Rich
mond and DanvilIe consolidated mortgage
bonds be set aside TO provide for their
payment at maturity. The original issue
OF Richmond and Danville division bonds
was s6,ooo0oo. but through the workings
OF the sinking fund this amount has been
reduced to the total mentioned above.
1t is understood that the Southern will
not be required to do any more financing.
when the above transaction is con-
cluded. for some time to come II will
be recalled that in February Of the cur
rent year the company disposed OF Sl0.-
10000 three-year 5 per cent notes, and Il
was stated at the time that the funds
derived from this sale would meet it's re-
auirements for a considerable period OF
time
roT some months past the management
OF the company has been working out a
plan which win provide for the authori-
zation OF large consolidated mortgage
to cover ALI Of the present outstanding
obligations OF the system. Owing to the
unfavorable conditions that have pre-
vailed in the financial and investment
situation, however, this plan has not yet
reached the stage OF naturalization. II
II believed, however. that when the sit
uaton becomes auspicious active consid-
GRAFTON will be given to the matter.
The Southern Is in better physical con-
dition than 1t has been in a number OF
wears

more, have marked the nate down 10 5 per cent
Among them are found one two which at no
time in the recent crisis have enacted more than

the reduction arc the First National, National
Park, Central Trust, the L. S. Mortgage 4 Trust
Company and the Fifth Avenue Bank. There are
still several important institutions and private
banking houses which are adheTing TO the per

Lending is a limited scale FIXED date funds
are passing at isai5 per cent. the lower rate

loans are being arranged AZ 4aIls per cent depend-

BROKERAGE BUSINESS BETTER.
Fresh Collateral Money Being oh.
tained-Better Margins shown.

Commenting on the financial standing
OF the brokerage houses when the ex-
change opens for general stock trading
representative of one large house sad:
Few people realize the extent Of the
liquidation that has been going on since
the stock exchange closed. Taking the
gutter market quotations. We find that
the majority OF our customers are bet
ter margined than they have been in a
long time.
brokerage houses have had one object
in view since the war started and that
is to get together as much fresh coIlat-
eral and money as possible One house
that l know of received $1,000 900 in cash
and collateral from the customers in Oc-
tober and total receipts since July 30
aggregate a total Of close to S3.5OO.OOO
''One Broadway house paid up S7OoO. 900
in loans. While there are some weakly
margined accounts, the resumption OF
general trading on the stock exchange
would find the margin on stocks far
above the average. The money situation
is also much better and bankers are now
inclined to lend on stock exchange
collateral"

TELLS WILSON OF CHANGES.
COmmissioner Newman Lays FrIss
seu Case before President.

- N-~C 0U@D1G NHC3ANGANs
Desiring that the President be fully ao-
quainted with the status Of the proceed
ings, Commissioner Oliver P. Newman
yesterday sent to the White House all
the testimony taken in the case brought
by William Frizzeli to oust him from
ONCE .
The case, Mr.. Newman explained, will
come up for argument Monday before
the Court of Appeals OF the District, and
he wished the President to have all ths'
information possible on the situation. Hsi
also brought to the attention Of Presi-i
dent Wilson the fact that the latter viii
have to renominate Commissioner Fred
erick L. Siddons to the District Supreme,
Court bench. owing to the failure OF the
Senate to confirm the previous nominal
ton before Congress adjourned Tbs
President will do this Immediately after
Congress convenes.
It also Is likely that the President, IN
sending Mr.. Siddons' name back 60 the
Senate will send along that OF Louis P.
BroWnlow. a Newspaper man, TO be Com
missioner to succeed Siddons.
Commissioner Newman told the Presi-
dent that whatever the verdict OF the
Court of Appeals in the custer proceed,
ings, one side or the other will carry
the case to the United States Supreme
Court

BOARDING ON LARGE SCALE.
Authority Says that Wars End VIII
Bring Out Huge Amount.

A member Of one Of the largest inter-
national houses expresses the view that.
following the termination OF the Eu-
ropean war. there will be such a release
of boarded money as will more than
counterbalance the reduction of the pes
ent visible supply OF capital, caused by
the demands Of the warning nations for
the maintenance Of armies in the field
and other expenditures incident to the
great conflict
He expresses the opinion that even in
England there is boarding on a large
scale, and that on the Continent the
amount put away in boards runs into an
enormous sum.
He argues that the war may not last
more than six months from this time,
and that on the conclusion Of peace the
hoarded money will begin to come back
INTO circulation, gradually at first but
ultimately in a flood, so that within
about year there may be a condition
OF pronounced ease in money, with a
probability OF its continuance for a long
time to come.

Business Than Other Exchanges.
30 far a. action is concerned the curb
market easily leads any security market
In the country just now. The closing of
all the exchanges Of the country at tho
end OF July put a stop to all stock busi-
ness except private dealings, and later
on. through the restrictive machinery
elaborated by the exchanges. An outside
gutter market" came into existence to
deal In listed stocks, but the curb's Sc
curites-the unlisted list"-were de-
prtved OF a market, except through an
outside securities committee, which was
virtually confined to Standard oils and
other Inustrials
During this period a number OF curb
association members resigned In order to
do business on the gutter market, the
curb, which looks to the stock exchange
houses for 70 per cent OF Its commission
business, prohibiting Its members from
dealing In listed stocks. Then. on Novem-
