other great Powers, in the opinion of
United States Senator Weeks OF Massi-

given by the Philadelphia Chamber of
Commerce. He said:
I'VE are paying the steamship lines Of
other countries about 5000, 900. 900 a

effect of which Is to prevent the main

possible for us to have handled any

Of moro than $4,000. 900 900 a~nnualiy."
The senator then explained how Ger

brought big returns to producer and cx-

THE STEEL MARKET
New High Prices Again Made In
Metal Trading.

New high prices were again made in
the steel market yesterday. Basic Iron
valley furnace was up 25 cents a ton and
Bessemer iron a Chicago was up 81 a
ton. Open hearth sheet bars were up
from SIS to $3.50 n wire rods from
S29 to $50.
European advices were that the mig
iron market in England was dull. OPERA
lions everywhere were restricted and the
demand Tor home consumption was
small.
Continued large inquiries for steel
rails and other railroad equipment was
the strongest feature of the steel market
through the day. The Indications were
thai II equipment buying actually took
place on the scale Of inquiries in hand
the purchases for next year delivery
would be exceedingly heavy. Through
out the industry. the steel plants are
turning out new high record outputs.
Ont o. -" encouraging factors is the
heavy huyins for 1916 delivery.
The Iron Trade Reuieu says
"The principal buying of pig iron
during the past week has been basic.
OF which the Lukens Iron and steel Com
pany. Coatesville, Pa, bought $4,000
tons from four eastern Pennsylvania
makers. The General Electric Company
has sent out an inquiry for $4,000 tons
OF various grades. deliveries to extend
over next year. 1t is one OF the largest
inquiries ever sent out by the COM
pany and indicates the anxiety of i'm
portant meters to cover for their re-
qutrements through the first half OF next
year.
1.-THE present outlook is that ore prices
will be established at an unusually early
date and that there will be an advance
OF at least so cents per ton over this
year.
THE demand for steel bars for the
manufacture of shells continues very ac-
tive"

ALBANY. Sept. 16.-Objections made
by the Depa :tment OF Finance Of New
York city to the inclusion Of the as
sessed valuation OF State and national
bank stock In the equalization upon
which the State taxes are to be appor-
toned were set aside tonight in an
opinion rendered by Attorney-General

The Attorney-General laid down these
principles, eacr OF which answers an
objection made nv the Department of

scribed by section - of the tax Law.

Thai the state Comptroller has no
power to disregard the valuation of
bank stock included in the equali-
zation In apportioning the taxes to be
raised by the ceveral counties for

Attorney-ieneral Woodbury. made Il
plain that the inclusion OF the assessed
valuation of this bank stock In the
state and county equalization and the
arrort!orment OF taxes thereon does not
result in double taxation OF such bank

For the purpose OF avoiding possible
confusion and misunderstanding" says
the Attorney-General. cit Is proper to
add that the conclusions herein before
reached do not in n way change the
manner or rate OF taxation OF bank

MERCANTILE MARINE
MINORITY SUCCEEDS
Defeats Plan for $3.50 a Share
Assessment on Com
pany's Stock.
FIGHT WILL CONTINUE

The minority stockholders OF the In
ternational Mercantile Marine Company
think that they have won n victory over
the r~eorganizers OF the company In fore
ing them to abandon their plan for an
assessment Of S2.jO a share M the stock.
Even since the reorganization plan be-
came known the minority interests, led
by Wfniam Dewey Loucks. have main
tained a vigorous fight against the pro-
posed assessment and other provisions
of the plan. which they felt imperilled
their rights. As n result the minority
committee has secured pledges of more
than 100, 900 shares in support of their
cause.
The fight between the two factions,
the bondholders committee and the min
orfty stockholders committee. became
90 vigorous hat II was at last decided
20 arbitrate their differences II possible,
and two prominent bankers were called
upon to mediate. As n result of various
conferences tho organization committee.
of which Otto n. Barnard. president Of
the New York Trust Company, Is chair
made the following announcement
yesterday:
owing to continued large earnings
of the properties of the company II II
now indicated that the assured cash re-
sources of the new company make II
Unnecessary to require holders OF stock
and stock trust certificates to subscribe
TO bonds of the new company nj the rate
of s2.50 per share, and the plan has been
accordingly changed so that the holders
of these classes OF stock may at their
election deposit their certificates Of stock
and stock trust certificates without the
payment of the subscription.
"Notice is also given that holders OF
certificates of deposit for stock and
stock trust certificates already de-
posted with the committee a IL they
90 desire, obtain a refund of the amount
paid by them. The time for the de-
post of stock and bonds has been ex-
tended to October 1. and the committee
gives notice that no deposits will be ac-
cepted after that date except at the
entire discretion OF the committee, sub
1ect 10 such penalties and conditions as
they may see fit TO impose"
That the minority Interests, having
won their point In getting the assessment
clause stricken from the reorganization
plan. do not intend to abandon the
other points for which they have con-
tended Is evident from the statement is
sued by Mr.. Loucks. as chairman OF
the minority stockholders committee.
Mr.. Loucks said
w regard the elimination OF the as
sessment on the stock as a partial VIC
tory. but we are not satisfied. We
think the Shareholders should get even
more and that the bondholders' plan
should be entirely rewritten with this
In view. We shall continue our fight
along these lines. and important devel-
opments may be expected in the near
future"
The above statement was interpreted
IN Wal Street as an indication that the
minority interests intended to press
their threatened suit against the direc-
tors OF the company for SO. 900. 900 for
losses said to have been Incurred through
tne receivership and mismanagement.
