AButterflyon The Wheel

Mrs. O. II. T. Belmont. possibly the
most prominent woman In the suffrage
movement, after seeing performance
of "a Butterfly on the Wheel at the
Thirty-ninth Street Theater, in New
York, wrote the following letter to Mr.
Lewis Waller. who. in association with
the Shuberts. produced this play:
Ny Dear Mr.. Walier--In reference TO
the play "a Butterfly on the Wheel"
have seen this play and consider the court
scene in same one that should interest
all thinking women. II points strongly to
the necessity Of women on the jury. tho
possibility Of a woman judge. and that ex-
sting laws discriminating against women
should he abolished and both sexes dealt
with equally. This can never be the cass
until the franchise is extended to women.
Sincerely yours.

II was reported that half dozen or
more lending institutions promptly fol
lowed the lead Of the national bank which
yesterday offered money on call at per
cent by reducing the rate on outstanding
loans from per cent. to that figure. The
move was greeted with enthusiasm by the
Street generally. Easier money conditions
generally will help the present stock sit

Uscs for Call Money.

with the exchanges closed and with
trading In securities on a strictly cash
basis there can he no use for call money
for ordinary speculative purposes And
vet there is n good demand for the call
money now offering from stock Exchange
houses. The principal explanation for
this phenomenon is that while the banks
generally have maintained the policy OF
allowing stock loans made prior to July
80 to stand there are few lending in
stitutions both here and out OF town
which have been pressing borrowers TO
pay OF loans made by them, possibly be-
cause they themselves are IN need.
The call money offered now. 1t Is sug-
gested, il expected to relieve firms under
such pressure and in fact is offered with
that design. In other words. firms can
transfer loans from ono lender TO an
other who IL In better position to ex-
tend the accommodation. In this way n
more even distribution OF the burden OF
unliquldated stocks will be effected. It
IL also suggested that demand for
money may also come from firms which
have n large amount of customers cash
on deposit Undoubtedly In many cases
such cash deposits have been drawn down
IN the past few weeks.

New Loan Market,

With the reestabllshment of the call
and time money market In moderate
way "A most interesting question arises in
respect 10 the terms upon which such
loans are made az regards collateral.
That Is to say. are the lending institu-
tons making loans on the customary
terms and on the basis OF prices ruling
on July 307 II has been difficult TO OBJ
tain definite statement on this point.
Some observers stoutly assert that no
change has been made: that the policy
OF adhering TO the old prices is being con-
t!nued on the theory that a margin OF
say 10 10 20 per cent. AZ those levels Is
better than a margin OF 10 per cent be-
fore the break occurred Money brokers
also maintain that conditions are sub
stantially the same.
one loan OF $1,000 for ninety days at
s per cent. secured entirely by New York
city bonds was made Yesterday. hut this.
II is held. was entirely exceptional.
Nevertheless. IN spite OF these assert ons.
there are reports of lenders demanding
30 per cent margin aud OF other
extraordinary conditions being specified.
IA "A matter OF fact II is nowhere con-
sidered unreasonable that under the pres
ent circumstances ouch a change should
be made. Surprise would be felt II there
were no revision OF the kind to suit tho
new conditions.

The New Com mittee.

The appointment by the exchange au-
thoritlos OF a committee on quotations
has given rise to an impression that this
step is taken In connection with the stock
market situation proper. IL has been sug
gested that the function OF the new COM
mittee Ia to consider what may be done IN
the way of lowering stock prices gradu-
ally from tho July 80 level In order to
stimulate a demand and eventually arrive
at a trading basis.

templated. The committee. Il Is argued.
will consider each Issue In turn and decide
what concessions may be permitted in

known. According to Stock Exchange au-

gard to the function OF the committee on
quotations Is entirely erroneous
For the present the situation as regards

THE STEEL MARKET.
Msnufacturcrs DO Not Expect Fur
tber Mil CurtaiIment.

While admitting that the outlook In not
perceptlbly brighter than II was n week
ago steel manufacturers express the opin-
ion that mill operations are not likely to
decline much further from the present
level. This confidence Is probably based
on the assumption that railroads and
other large steel consumers. having
bought material no sparingly In the last
few months will soon find II imperative
90 purchase equipment more freely.
The situation as regards prices is about
the same Concessions can be had In most
lines, but consumers remain indifferent.
With the exception Of wire products eN-
port inquiries are not leading to large
amount of business.
An idea OF the coalition OF the steel
trade In Germany may be gained from

cuslon OF the regular monthly meeting

and Oats Weak

Either the reports Of . 900. 900 bushels
Of wheat having been sold for export
yesterday were exaggerated or the
markets made Il p,tiful response TO the
markest made n pitiful response to the
news. Several authorities were inter
viewed after the session closed and the
unanimity of opinion was that the bust
ness with foreigners had been overesti-
mated.
Chartering OF vessels, fresh inquiries
and some actual sales at the Gulf and other
points were admitted but II was as
serted that while circulating tho true fig
ures had received additions. Exporters
who arc looking forward tO higher wheat
levels ultimately were among those ex-
pressing views of this sort
incidentally actual wheat clearances
Yesterday were only 81 900 bushels
These were the smallest IN some time. II
Is likely that Bradstreet's statement. due
to-day, on the weeks wheat and -four
exports will he moderately under recent
showings
European advices caused the initial
gains In the market. The belief that big
Western interests We're not operating for

that ensned Fluctuations were erratlc
in narrow market and more was heard
OF the eight cent upturn that has been
registered of late.
Relative steadiness OF the December op-
ton AT Chicago strengthened the infer
ences that exporters were IN the market.
The December May spread has narrowed
from SIC to SIC. Last year December
expired even with May, when stocks
ranged from 100000 bushels to 1000. 900
at Chicago, against approximately 5000
600 bushels at this time. Wheat move

show another increase Of 100000 bushels
