Little Improvement in Trade.


Reports from the commercial agen-
cies show little evidence Of any definite
trend toward Improvement in trade.
Buying is still conservative, but II is
expected that with the coming Of
warmer weather stocks will be replen-
ished, and better orders are already re-
ported in the West.
Though conditions have been re-
ported unfavorable in the Southwest,
it is learned that in the territory ad-
jacent to st. Louis renewals Of mer-
camille loans are fewer than usual
There is, however, considerable slow
ness Of collections in Texas. Railroad
earnings in the Southwest, though still
showing material losses from last
years returns, are improving.
Commercial failures for the week arc
materially increased over those for the
corresponding period Of last year. Gross
railroad earnings in general make a
less favorable comparison with those Of
1913. Bank clearings, however. are
only slightly below last years totals.
Returns by the great banks Of Eu-
rope showed a weaker position i'm Lon
don and increased strength in Paris
and Berlin. The Bank Of England's
bullion decreased nearly $4,000, and
the proportion Of reserve 10 liability
shrank from 1900 the week before to
1892. The Bank Of France added over
100000 francs to it's gold holdings,
making the total 3.614,114OO0 francs.
more than 3JO.OO0OOO greater than in
the same week Of 1913. The Imperial
Bank Of Germany also made an add 70
ton to its gold, gaining some 100000
marks. The private rate Of discount il
low in Berlin. and the April settlements
should be accomplished with little diff
ficulty.
Loan rates for money IN this city
varied little during the week. Can
loans were renewed at per cent, ex-
cept on Friday. when the renewal rate
over the weekend was IA per cent.
Time accommodation showed a slightly
easier tendency. Demand sterling adj
vanced sharply early in the week and
closed at 4.s635, o. points above the
Saturday before.
Continued abundance OF money here
is indicated in a further increase Of
over 100000 surplus reserve in the
Clearing House statement Of actual
conditions at the end Of the week. Cash
holdings increased S6.O00.0O0 but loans
were expanded late in the week in
creasing 100000, against "A decrease
Of 100000 in the average figures.
The surplus reserve is now 1916 800,
where year ago it was $500, POO.

Washington, November 2.-The
first installments OF subscriptions to
the capital of the federal reserve
banks are due today. II is expected
that all twelve banks will be opened
simultaneously the middle of this
month. OF the reasons for selecting
later date than that suggested by
Secretary McAdoo was that there was
vast amount OF printing of regu-
lations forms and stationery OF vari-
Gus sorts as well as the reserve notes
TO be issued under the new system.
One of the first direct efforts of in
augurating the new system would
be the release of s25O,OOO,O0O of gold
reserves which would go far to meet
the demands Of business at home and
abroad for prompt and practical
means of paying debts and facilitat-
ing credit.
