BANK CLEARINGS GAIN
Big Increases at New York
Due in Part to Speculation.

Clearings through the banks at the
leading cities in the United States ag-
gregate 1886, 266,912, according 70
"Dun's Review" an increase over the
1884 1915 Of the same week last
year Of no less than 62.S per cent, which
is very largely due to the fact that all
the principal exchanges in the country
were closed at that time. Although
stock market and financial operations,
which always exert considerable lnfiu-
ence on bank clearings, were more ac-
tive this week than in 1918, conditions
then were much more normal than last
year, and therefore the gain of PA per
cent over the corresponding week two
years ago, when the total amounted to
S2,459 .020, 1879. is regarded as quite a
satisfactory exhibit. New York City
reports increases of 1861 and 1878 per
cent, respectively, as compared with the
same weeks in the two Immediately pre-
ceding years, much of which is due 70
the caused above mentioned. The cities
outside New York show an increase in
the total of 1871 per cent. as compared
with last year and of per cent as con-
trasted with two years ago. The cities
showing expansion over both years are
Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Cleve-
land, Chicago. Kansas City, New Or
leans and San Francisco. Average daily
bank exchanges for the year 10 date
are given below for three years:

Railroad Earnings.

Gross earnings of the United States
railroads making weekly returns 20
"Dun's Review compare somewhat
more closely with those of a year ago
than those Of recent preceding weeks,
the total of all roads from which re-
ports have been received for the first
week in August amounting to $8,l44,-
065. a decrease of only Is per cent as
eontrasted with the same week last
year. This is the best exhibit made by
the opening week Of any month TINS
year, and compares with a loss Of as
per cent for the corresponding period
in July and 81 per cent IN June. In the
West and Southwest the improving ten
dency is probably due in large part to
the accelerated movement Of grain ard
should be progressive, as shipments
have not nearly reached their maxi
mum. In the following table are given
the gross earnings OF all United States
railroads reporting 10 date for the first
week in August and the loss as COM
pared with the corresponding period a
year ago; also for the roads that re-
ported for the same week in the two
preceding months, together with the
percentages Of loss compared with last

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
BECOMES WEAKER
Effect of Suspension of Negoti-
atiOnS for British Loan
Is Seen.

Renewed weakness in foreign ex-
change yesterday was attributed 20 two
reasons viz, the temporary suspen-
sion in the negotiations for loan TO
Great Britain by American bankers be-
cause of the Arabic incident, and the
delay involved if the arrival of two Of
England's foremost bankers is awaited
here before discussions are resumed.
Should the country's relations with
Germany reach the breaking point, the
opinion in Wall Street is that all eff
forts for the time being will be centred
in financing our own needs, Leaving
Great Britain and the Allies with the
two alternatives of shipping gold or
selling more American securities to
pay for war supplies and foodstuffs.
Bills on London were quoted yester-
day al 1865 and cables at 4.67 2. The
closing rates On franc checks and
cables were respectively $50 and 5.SS.
German exchange was weaker, there
being hardly any demand for mark re-
mittances noticeable in the market.
The quotations we're 81 for checks and
81 lilo for cables.
The heaviest decline in stock mar
ket prices since the torpedoing of the
Arabic took place yesterday during the
two-hour session. Declines in the ac-
tive issues ranged from l to points,
and the liquidation was not only at
tributed TO the uneasiness felt here
over the American German situation
but TO foreign selling as a result of the
apparent belief abroad in the lncreas-
ing difficulty OF floating a large British
loan in the United States now.
The decentralization in the foreign
exchanges last week was the greatest
In the mem Dry IF bankers. On Monday
demand bills on London sold at AGA,
the lowest quotation on record, and on
the following day francs went to sos, a
new low for this form of remittance.
During the latter half Of the week
there was evidence IF a hesitating re-
coverv. but the sterling exchange sit
uation as a whole remains one Of ex-
IRENE nervousness and delicacy.

The Minority Stakeholder.

An amusing episode showing how the
arrangements Of big corporations oh
tam first hand knowledge Of attempts
20 thwart their plans was illustrated
last week al the meeting of group
OF minority stockholders Of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine Company
who are seeking 10 avoid the payment
OF the $3.50 share assessment pro-
posed in the bondholders' reorganiza-
ton plan. The stockholders had as
sembled in the Offices Of their attor-
neys and heated discussions were 60
ing on over the alleged injustice
brought about by the receivershiD
when neatly dressed. unassuming
young man entered the room. One
OF those present recognized him as
oeing the private secretary Of p. A. 5.
franklin, receiver and vice president
The intruder was asked TO show cause
IN view Of his connections Why ne
should be permitted to participate in
me discussions. lie thereupon drew
forth one share of international Mer-
camille Marine stock made out to him,
which 1t could not be denied qualified
MIN as minority stakeholder" The
young man was then admitted without
further parleying.

J. s. Bache & Co. said: at is Gus

hear them Notwithstanding this and
notwiths tanding his strong represen-
tation that the railroads were right,
that they deserved the advances and
even larger advances than they had

Futnre Of Railroad Shares.

Railroad shares did not give ground
yesterday to the same extent as the in
dustrials. probably because they have
done little 70 attract popular favor and
speculative holdings of them are vet
insignificant. There are no means 90
verifying a statement that foreign
selling of these securities was rela
lively more important than domestic
liquidation; nevertheless. there is good
ground for the assertion. Bankers
with international connections have
been receiving American stocks from
abroad by every recent steamer. and in
many cases they have put them on the
market without delay. The heavy
break in exchange that occurred in the
last fortnight added TO this selling. be-
cause II put premium on foreign
holdings Of Americans Of from TO
nearly . per cent. What the future of
the railroad shares is no one seems
able 20 fOretCll with certainty. When
the widest SPECULATION was going on in
the war stocks there were many pre-
dictlons that after the inevitable
crack there would be a transfer of
public interest 70 the railroads But
since then there has come increased
liquidation from Europe. and il is
mostly IN tie railroad shares. There
IS no evidence of how long that will
continue. a fact that deters specula-
tors from picking uD even those rail
road stocks which are not international
issues.
