STUDYING MARSHALL BILL

James II. Perkins, u vice-president

vice-president OF the New York State
Bankers Association, said yesterday
that a meeting Of the council of ad-
ministration might be called next
week to consider the Marshall bill in
troduced in the New York Legislature
to give national banks Of this state the
powers Of trust companies. There is
p strong feeling among the upstate
national bankers In favor Of the meas
ure, but the sentiment in this city thus
Tar has been one Of apathy
Opposition to the passage of the
bill is developing among the state
hanks as well as the trust companies.
The former assert that the bill, if il
should become a law, should also give
them trust company privileges.
Mr.. Perkins said that the next an
nual convention of the New York State
Bankers Association would probably be
held at Saratoga.

FINANCIAL RECORD
HERE AND ABROAD
Allies New Blockade Plan
Restricts Trading-Se-
curitieS Firm.

The stock market yesterday, though
prices were firm, was decidedly re-
stricted In volume Of trading, the to-
tni OF less than 10000 shares being
the smallest since carly in January.
Doubt as 20 what would he the result
Of the Allies new policy toward Ger
man commerce furnished sufficient rea-
son for this lessening of market activ-
ity. The text OF the British Order in
Council failed 20 make plain to the
financial district what would be the
treatment Of goods shipped after
March 70 neutral ports that might
be suspected Of being intended for
German use.
According 20 the order, goods of Ger
man oriCln or destination on their way
between neutral ports may be seized
and placed IN the custody OF a pri1o
court. Direct commerce with Germany,
definitely stated, will be stopped. 80
far as manifcsts Of cargoes show, our
business with Germany has been light
since the war broke out, so here the
question is one Of national dignity
rather than Of monetary interest lt
seemed 70 traders yesterday diflicult
problem for our authorities 20 recon
cile this blockade not made effective at
enemies ports with our precedents OF
years.
Caution displayed by insurance men
and shipping interests already shows
that the trade which has been carried
on ostensibly with neutra!s may De
seriously interlered with. The great
totals which our exports reached last
week show how our shippers have
FASTENED their clearanccs before CON
ditions became too uufaVorablc.
In the foreign exchange market yes
terday there was only a moderate ad-
vance in rates to indicate fear that
commercial bills on European centres
would be materially lessened. Demand
sterling. with discount rates IN Lon
don still higher through open market
borrowing by the Bank of England,
went I'd fve-eighths Of n cent in the
round to 4S0is, but reacted before the
close. During the day the Bank of
England sold e503,0OO In coin, but no
addition 10 the S3,100.000 gold engaged
for import from Ottawa. reported on
Saturday, was learned Of in business
hours.
Exchange on Berlin was iirmer, but
this was still ascribed in foreign eX-
change circles 10 purchases for sub
scription TO the new German war loan.
Estimates from Germany by way Of
Amsterdam put subscriptions in neu-
trail countries at 20O,0OO,OO0 marks,
less than some had figured for the
United States alone. Francs were also
little dearer on the day.
Monetary conditions here were prac-
tically unchanged from the end of last
week. Call loans were renewed at
per cent. and made from that figure
down to 's per cent. Time accommo-
dation was not pressed upon the mar
ket. and little business was done. Mer-
camille paper continued quiet.
in London and Paris successes by
the Allies on land, reported over the
week end, gave a firm tone TO security
trading. American securities in Lon
Gou were almost inactive.
