If the site is changed new plans will have to be drawn.

What It Illustrates

This transaction tends strongly to prove the truth of the statement, made so often when the new banking and currency law was under discussion, that it would be impossible by any legislation short of that which was chaotic and absolutely de- structive to prevent the concentration of great banking resources and authority in the large financial centers.
 The statement was made semi officially for the organization committee of the new national banking system that in appor- tionng off various parts of the company to the new federal reserve districts the purpose was chiefly to decentralize finan- thority of that kind which had hereto large financial centers, especially in New York.
 The national banking and currency bill is now enacted into law. National banks all over the country are making prepara- tions for adjusting themselves to the new system. Yet there seems to be not the slightest effect of this new legisla- ton upon the disposition of the country still to concentrate large banking au- thority, credit and influence in the greater financial centers of the country
 Of course the law is not yet in full op- eration. But the probabilities are here garded as strong that if the new law is to scatter financial authority. great re- sources and banking credit there would have been by this time indications in plenty that this was to be one of the re- suits of the establishment of the new banking system.

New York, April 29.-(Special )-For the
 nation at large there should be special
 interest at this time in the announcement
 that Howard Elliott, the executive chief
 of the New Haven railroad system, and
 his associates have been able to secure
 the underwriting of securities of the New
 Haven Railroad company aggregating $60, ,00o,000 For this railroad company it. self and for it's stockholders the announce
 ment is of the utmost importance. But for the country there is broader point of view than that whose vista Is only the New Haven company and its stockhold- CTS.
 Recently there have been marketed in New York city, state and municipal obli- gations aggregating considerably over $lO0 900. Some other financing has been done large in itself, but small in comparison with these two transactions which represent the credit of the state of New York and the credit of the city of New York. Now comes a railroad com pany to the market asking for as much as s60,0000OO. The credit of this com pany is, so far as the market quotations for it's stock reflect that credit considera- bis btloW pdf. lHtit HdS bttil ldNit dd- mission that at once time the danger was grave that the company would be obliged to seek the protection of the courts or that some creditors would do that for the purpose of putting the property in the hands of receivers.
 Yet two or three days ago the announce ment was made that Mir. Elliott in as- socation with men of finance in New York and Boston, had perfected an ar engagement by which the company is to
 be provided immediately with s60,000, 900. Shortly after MT. Elliott became the successor of Charles S. Mellen as ,the ex- ecutive authority over the New Haven Railroad company he spoke in public with intent to reply to those who had made the accusa ton that the previous management of the New Haven railroad had placed it's financing in the exclusive control of the house of J. P Morgan X Co., MT. Elliott said that the New Haven Railroad company. as long as he was in executive control of it, would seek such funds as 1t needed wherever those funds were to be found. He would welcome financial assistance from men of capital of Boston or of New York or of other communities.
 This latest piece of financing of the New Haven is an echo of the statement MT. Elliott made some months ago. He has found men of capital in New York and in Boston who have agreed to finance the sale of $50, GOO, 600 of notes.

New York. April 29.-(Special)-The Iron Age tomorrow will say;
 ''rhere is evidence that in some north ern districts the startling data that the American Pig Iron association has gath cred as to recent losses of merchant fur naces have checked selling at a loss. At the same time 1t is recognized that more furnaces must stop or consumption must increase before the market can be cured of it's present weakness. Alabama fur naces have thus far heiu aloof from the association movement.
 ''Steel works forces are being reduced and pig iron is accommodating. At Steel company blast furnaces more stacks will be blown out, including three of the Ma tional Tube company. Manufacturers and consumers have rarely. if ever, been more at sea as to the outlook, and there is more of the feeling that even such a movement as that of January might re- ouire all the the stimulus favorable rate decision could produce.
 ''The Southern railway has given an order for 1000 more cars and the Illinois Central is taking bids on 5000 cars.
 ''1n pig iron an inquiry for 10000 tons of basic has appeared st St. Louis and at Pittsburg. Some business in basic is also pending. The indications that the melt of foundry iron Is decreasing are the disauieting features of the situation.
 Some interest has been stirred up in the east in the pig iron required for the cast iron segments fot two subway tun- nels under the East river Bids on the tunnels will be opened May 22 Each will require more than 45,00o tons of seg- ments'

The Policy of Underwriting

Were there to be such effect of the new national banking law the organiza- ton committee hoped to secure when it established the boundaries of the federal reserve districts, 1t would be practically impossible to perfect such an underwrit- ing syndicate is the one which has been organized for the purpose of taking over obligations of the New Haven Rail-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-04-30

road company amounting to s60, ,0oo,0o0.
 There is no doubt that the recent issue of $65, 900 900 of New York city bonds was to all intents and purposes practi- caIly underwritten. The two banking houses whose bids were accepted by the city authorities and to which were award ed the entire issue of bonds undoubtedly had arranged an underwriting syndicate to become effective. in case these two houses secured the award. The pre- sumption is strong that the issue some weeks ago of practically similar amount of New York state bonds was also con ditionally underwritten-that Is to say, an underwriting syndicate was organized to become effective in case certain bidders received the award.
 When there is very large financing to be accomplished the great financial mar kets must be sought. They will continue to be approached after the new national banking law is in full operation Funds will continue to flow to the large financial centers and this is believed by competent authorities to be in obedience to funda- mental economic law.

A Measure of Credit

The financing of 5000, 600, par value, of New Haven obligations is looked upon here as most encouraging symptom There was no astonishment that the bonds behind which stand the credit of New York city and of New York state should have found welcome market. These securities are exempt from taxa ton of any kind. Whoever finds his in- come augmented by the interest of bonds of this kind need have no concern about the income tax collector
 But the New Haven Railroad company has been now for two years in dire dis tress. It has been compelled to suspend pay ment of dividends. Great properties which it has possessed are about to be torn from it at the demand of the depart ment of justice at Washington. and to be held in the possession of trustees un- til they can be sold. There was peril of a receivership. And yet the company has been able to approach the market suc cessfully and secure the underwriting of one of the largest propositions made at any time by railroad company. The action will serve to inject greatly needed credit into the system. and it is spoken of here as a most encouraging symptom that at this time group of men of cap- ital in New York and Boston has been or ganized for the purpose of providing funds which are to be utilized for the most part next month and also to pro- vide some $60 000, 900 of ready money with which MT. Elliott will be able to pursue the work which he has undertaken by which the New Haven property Is to be brought, if he can compass 1t, from it's al- most moribund condition to one of health and prosperity.

SUBWAY TUNNELS
 UNDER EAST RIVER
S0,000 Tons Cast Iron Will
 Be Needed for Work
ACTIVITY IN TIN PLATE
Steel Works Forces Being Reduced and Pig Iron Accommodating. Southern Orders 1000
 More Cars

Cleveland. O., April 29.-CSpeeial) The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 ''The probable effect of a war with Mexico upon the iron trade continues to be discussed While the tin plate manufacturers and makers of other iron and steel products would prob ably receive some benefits from war with Mexico. it is recalled that in 1898 after war against Spain was opened. the market sagged and there was no important improvement until the close of the year after the war had been ended. Whether the tremendous boom Of 1899 was due to any considerable extent to the war of the preceding year is doubtful, and at any rate it was not of the kind to be invited at the present time.
 Makers of pig iron in the eastern territory are greatly interested in the cast iron pipe requirements for two subway tunnels to be built under the East river. The tonnage will come in the time of great need to eastern foundries. New York city is now ask ing for bids up to May 22 for about S0,o00 tons of cast iron segments for the tunnels for Commonwealth Steel company St. Louis is inquiring for 10000 tons of basic for deliveries ex- tending into the last half of the year.
 'The awards of structural material in New York city and vicinity show some improvement They amounted to 10000 tons during the week, about 10000 tons for subway work in New York and 22,000 tons additional for miscellaneous jobs are pending.
 ''The one bright spot in mill activ- ities at the present time is found in tin plate. As tine plate manufacturers are operating their plants to capacity if there should be a protracted war would probably exceed the capacity of mills. The action of the National Tube company in deciding to close its Ben wood plant discloses the limited de mand for pipe at the present time. The company has announced a reduc- tion of S1 per ton in steel line pipe following similar reduction in stan dard steel pipe. Independent manufac- turers have adopted the new rate.
 Although navigation on the Great Lakes has been opened for two weeks there are very few vessels in commits sion and 1t is not expected that the ore movement will be heavy prior to June 1. It is estimated that on May 1 there will be about 22.000,000 tons of Lake Superior ore on docks and in furnace yards. While this Is a somewhat lar ger tonnage than is on hand usually at this time of the year. it is policy of leading companies to maintain a large reserve of ore and it is believed that the shipments of ore for the sea son will be between 35,000,00O and 40,- 000. .000 tons"
