AMERICANS FIRM IN LONDON
Mining and Oil Shares Closed at
High Levels.

LONDON, Jan. Sin the final dealings
sentiment was cheerful The American
group was the firmest. Reading, United
States Steel and the Hartman issues par
ticularly were in favor
Canadians were influenced favorably by
reports that interests in the United States
intend to continue financing the needs of
the Dominion in the immediate future
and to assist in the restoration of the
exchange balance.
The remainder of the departments pre-
sented a checkered appearance, with sup
port slack in some instances. Mining and
oil shares ended at the best level of the
session.
The managers of the Stock Exchange
have refused to reduce subscriptions to
allow for the protected suspension of
business on the exchange. This has
caused much irritation.

DENY ENGLAND REQUESTED
LARGE AMOUNTS OF GOLD
Statement Explains Recent Visit Of
British Representatives.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.--Denial of the
report that the British Chancellor of the
F!Xchequer sent Sir George Paish and
Basil Blackett to Washington to plead
for the immediate release of as much
gold as could be spared. today was made
in a Joint statement issued by Acting
Secretary of the Treasury Newton and
Governor Hamlin, Of the Federal Re-
serve Board
"Our attention has been called to the
statement contained in morning paper
that the Chancellor of the Exchequer
sent two representatives to Washington
to plead for the immediate release of as
much gold as could be spared" says the
statement This statement is not true
in fact, nor was 1t ever authorized or
made by any officer or member of the
Treasury Department or of the Federal
Reserve Board. The purpose of the visit
of the representatives above referred TO
the Secretary of the Treasury on October
TO- as follows:
"rt is true that Sir George Paish
and Basil Blackett, representing the
British Treasury, are coming to America
for the purpose of discussing the inter-
national exchange and cotton problems.
Their visit is the result of informal sug-
sestions made by me through diplomatic
channels to the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer in London, because it is believed
that a discussion of certain phases OF
these problems on the ground here may
he productive of results, This is simply
another one of those Instances where the
Government is using its good offices in
every possible way 10 help the business
situation"

Powder at Highest Point
in Two Years = Money
Easy.

Reinsurance from official sources that
the Government would submit all sugges-
tions regarding changes in the United
Gas improvement organization to the
management before attempting any legal
action, helped to hold the stock firm on
the local Exchange today. In fact, a
small fractional advance was scored dur
ing the morning on odd-lot purchases
International smokeless Powder shares
rose to % on Change, the highest price
at which they have sold in over two
years. The company is doing the biggest
business in its history, 1t is said, work
ing night and day and obtaining almost
double its usual prices on foreign ship
ments. The general local list reflected
the firm tone of the New York market,
and small advances were the rule. a
block of over 1900 shares of Rapid Transit
certificates changed hands at II. An ac-
count was reported to be in liquidation.
Director Taylor estimates that the city
transit plan will require $4,000 900. of which
$4,000 900 is sufficient 70 rthe present. The
special election will probably be held in
the spring. The plan provides that the
city construct the new lines and lease
them, giving the Rapid Transit Company
first option as lessee and operator.
The nrst sale of Reading stock which
has been made on the local exchange
since Monday occurred just before the
close this afternoon, when "a single share
changed hands at 7S&. On Monday seven
shares sold at II Ills.
The Lake Superior groups failed to re-
spond to reports of increasing orders and
general improvements in trade conditions
in Canada. { 1t is understood that de-
spite enforced economies by the rail
boads of the Dominion and restriction of
orders and slow collections the company's S
earnings held UP to about parity with
the previous year. For the first five
months of the present fiscal period net
earnings totaled approximately $1,000, 00o
Money was exceedingly easy, and call
funds were in good supply at 41a per cent,
although the official rate is still main
tanned at per cent. Time money is
offered as low as 4 per cent, but the
country banks have been withdrawing
from the commercial paper market OF
late, owing to the narrow margin of profit
now obtainable.
