LONDON SEES WAR
TENSION RELAXING
Markets Encouraged by Wall
Streets Rally, but Exchange
Problem Dominates

LONDON, Aug sO--The improved treat
ment Of prisoners In Germany and France.
the paragraph about the freedom OF the
seas in Grey's letter and Gerrnany's mod
ihcation OF her submarine warfare all
suggest letting down Of tenuion for
high diplomatic purposes.
Wall streets rally encouraged our
stock markets. but exchange stin drops
as II becomes more and more difficult 20
hll the gap between imports and exports.
Moreover. the American crop movement
casts its shadow before.
Evidently the market. which had been
led TO expect a great loan on the Ameri-
can side, is disappointed BY the announce
ment OF the Holden Reddlng mission.
some authorities express skepticism as
To whether there exists on the American
side any large surplus funds for genuine
investment In a long-term external loan
which could not be used by savings
banks or for trustee purposes Our stif.
rising income tax presents another dif-
hculty. Both, I suggest, could be met
best by per cent. treasury bills with
one years currency, for which purpose
your bank money could be loaned.
The compulsion movement is much re-
sented by trade union leaders. The dis
covery by the rank and file that under
the French conscription which Lloyd
George called democratic, soldiers get
only ] cent day. has not helped the
compulsory idea. Labor leaders naturally
reply to the peers by Offering to confis-
cate property IL they connscate labor.
Shipping shares Just now afford an in
teresting problem in speculation. Freights
are high, but so are working expenses
Secondhand ships fetch big prices. The
value Of shares depends on the duration
OF the war, and II is a question whether
enough shipping has been sunk TO offset
the reduction in the worlds commerce
after the war.

WAR ORDER STORIES
LIFTED LOCAL ISSUES
Brill, Baldwin and Cramp All
Buoyant, But Reacted at
Close on Official Denials.

Reports that the war orders booked
recently by the J. q. Brill Company were
second In volume only 20 those Of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works caused sud
den upward spurt In the shares today,
tho quotation advancing rapidly nearly
three points 1t is said that in addition
to motortrucks, kitchens. ambulances
and other supplies an order has Just been
closed with Great Britain for s3O00,00U
worth OF high-eXplosive shells and that
the total orders under contract now
amount to more than Sl0000,000. Complete
denial was made at the companys office
of the entire story, and the stock prompt
lv reacted.
Baldwin Locomotive also became buoy
ant this morning, after having been ly-
ing comparatively dormant for some lit
tie time. The price advanced easily
three points or more. Cramp Shipbuild-
inG rose about half as much. Elsewhere
the market remained dull with relatively
narrow fluctuatiou. IL was said in con-
nection with the rise in Cramps shares
that three additional ships have been or
dored from the company, and that the
plant will have to be enlarged for the
purpose. A contract Is said to have been
given out for 2lO0 steel shapes by the
Cramp company on this account Lake
Superior was a weak spot I'm the after
noon trading.
In the final hour prices reacted all
around. Brill went point below last
nights close, while Electric Storage Bat
terry and United States Steel also turned
heavy. United Gas Improvement and
Philadelphia Electric followed suit, while
Lake Superior extended its loss to nearly
a point
II was rumored today that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad was considering issuing
siX-year AZ per cent. notes to provide
funds to take up its 3% per cent. bonds
sold in France to the amount OF Sis.000,-
600. About $27,OO0,0OO OF these franc bonds
were held as part collateral for loan
to the French, but were recently released
and are being turned over to the Pennsyl-
vania Company. which is DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning as many of the remainder as pos
sible. The size of the new note issue, it
is said, will depend upon the amount of
these franc bonds turned in, The diff
ference In interest charges is expected
to be more than made up by the depre-
ciatcd exchange on France, francs now
selling at discount of about 15ls per
cent.
a large stock exchange house made a
loan of 100000 in this city today rum
ming to the end of the year at ga per cent,
and II was said that more money was
offering at this unusually low figure.
