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, IL was announced today
from New York that there is an unusually
large demand for the new city loan OF
slOO, 100000, which has already been over
subscribed. Par and three-quarters is
being bid, but there is no disposition to
sell on the part of the investors who
we're fortunate enough to get some OF
the allotment.
The second instslment of the loan, ap-
proximstely s4,OoO,OOo. is being paid in
today by the bank at the offices of J..
p. Morgan a 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 800, 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 a 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,O00o00 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
itr special committee should set the
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 900
is now being raised among the 127 banks
and trust companies In that city. The
Clearing House Association in Chicago
voted today to subscribe s160O0,000 as that
city's part of the pool
There was better feeling in London
today The Stock Exchange Special
Committee completed its consideration
of the question of reopening and pre-
sented a final report to Government
members which now awaits the combined
action of bankers and the Government
Ire asury officials. This action, however,
is not expected to be taken while the
exists. It 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
fairly brisk demand Is reported for gilt
edge investment issues.

been secured to pass on the breed This
is Harry Rushton, from Asbury Park,
N. j., and a man that all fanciers seem
to esteem highly. Mr.. Rushton will have
a list of % specials as an extra attrac-
ton' but as one fancier made remark,
no specials need be offered at all to aid
Mr.. Rushton in getting out a record
entry.
Airedale terriers are rapidly coming
to the fore in this city and large entry
of this good breed is expected Saturday
A list of 12 specials should help to draw
the entries.
Mrs w. w. Macleod, the well-known
local fancier, has been secured to pass
upCn, toy poodles and also promises to
have large entry. She had a list of -
specials to award
Any one wishing to get in an entry

WHEAT OPENS SHADE OFF
ON IMPROVED CONDITIONS
Large Receipts From Canada and
United States Strengthen Market.

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 a slachvning in the
flour trade The posting of future values
at Liverpool will be withheld for a few
days more.
At Berlin spot wheat was quoted at
Sl54h at Antwerp, Sl17i7; at Paris,
81 i5%. Flour az Paris is B7l a barrel
Grain men attach significance to the 3loO,-
100000 gold pool to reconstruct the for
eign exchange market 1t is believed that
this will materially aid the export situa-
ton. The visible supply Of wheat in Eu-
rope is Gs,9bS,O00 bushels, against 65,IG,ol0
bushels last week and 73,3OoVOO bushels
last year.
Sentiment in Liverpool was affected
I'm the early trading by the weakness
Of the American market yesterday and
continued receipts from Canada and the
United States. There was a disposition
to await lower prices, but speculators
purchased freely again, and with offers
light the undertone became very firm
Spot wheat everywhere abroad is strong
and advancing sharply. There was free
buying of American winter at Liver
pool at 3D. under yesterdays quotation.
There is no let-up in the demand from
British milers.
Italy and the United Kingdom will un-
doubtedly show a fair increase in their
wheat area IL the weather permits. The
acreage in Germany and Austria will be
materially reduced because Of lack OF
labor. The weather in Argentina is
more favorable The receipts of wheat
at Minneapolis and Duluth today were
1903 cars, against 99S cars a year ago;
at Winnipeg, ll1 cars. against I'LL cars:
at Chicago, 546 cars, against IS cars.
Trade in corn was SLOW and market
easier. There was scattered commission
selling on better weather in the belt and
easier cables. Prospects are for liberal
shipments from Argentina this week.
Corn at Berlin is sl.40. The receipts here
today were 163 cars.
GOATS were easy. Cash trade was re-
ported poor The receipts of oats here
today were 225 cars.
