WASHINGTON WINS FROM BROOKLYN IN
 LOOSE BALL GAME


 {. Washington, April 8.+Mfnus the services of Daubert. Wheat and sten- gel, all 300 hitters, the Dodgers were defeated by Washington yesterday afternoon in a loosely played game, 6 to A. Tfe B1atbushers made costly errors.
 The one redeemfng feature of the contest was the form shown by Ap- pleton. Superba rookie. Manager Robinson did not hesitate to say af- ter the first week in Daytona that this youngster would make good in any company, and his work yesterday yer flied it. His side arm delivery, with his speed was a revelation to the Ma tionals. The Senators hammered Schmutz in the fourth inning Schmutz however, was not entirely responsible for the loss of the game Errors, after two men were retired in the fatal session, caused his as- tension.
 Two innings were enough for the Washington team to win the game. In the third they scored a tally on a base on balls to Moe1ler and Foster's double. In the following stanza, with two men gone, McCarty dropped a foul and Schultz, after making a nice stop of McBride's grounder, dropped the ball just as he was about to throw it to first. These disastrous plays were followed by five hits and as many runs.

Na1sy's and St. Charles are at present tied for second place hOnorB. SHoylId both teams win, a series is very probable and there<is no question but what it would be a successful one Then again should both teams lose would be in the same fix
 a ff <
 The Charles have three reasons for hoping to win the game. Should they be successful they will have won 10 games; secondly, they will surely hold on to second place even if the Mary 8. win; third and greatest reason of all. the Hearts, having then won three and lost three from the champions. Should this latter occur the Charles it is rumored, will then challenge the champions to a series of three gamer to prove concIusive1y which is the better team when opposed to each other Had the other teams given the Hearts as hard a, battle as tIra Charles, the race would not have now be at a high pitch. The cham pions will no doubt have their 'st- Charles team on the floor which means that Lannon. RusseI, Cart land and probably Lucey will be on the battlefield when the first gun iCs fired.
 evening St. Mary's will tackle tho speedy St. sJohnss. This latter teadr is holding down last place but has proved very dangerous to tneiF op- ponents in the past eight games. They have already defeated the St. Charles and the Mary's and feel con- fident of copping this game also.

FINANCIAL-LOCAL AND OTHERWISE.

demands upon capital are going to be
very great, and the rates are going to
average higher than we have been USED
to. In addition to the requirements OF
foreign governments, the railroads ana
industrials which have been pursuing
a policy of retrenchment will have M
Fortunate demands for capital Certain
industries, notably those engaged in
the production of munitions of war,
are growing rapidly and the improve
ment of their credit is placing them in
a position to demand capital in large
amounts.
You may answer that in spite of this
money is plentiful, that the banks have
traordinary surplus reserves and are
lending money at lower rate than
they have done in years before. Do
not be deceived by the present banking
situation. Do not let low rates for
bank loans lead you into, any belief
that the destruction of capital in E.u-
rope will not have it's effect upon the
price of investment capital in America.
1t is true that we see the lowest bank
rates that we have known in years, and
that there are the greatest surplus re-
serves that our banks have ever held,
but there is an essential, fundamental
difference between bank funds and in
vestment funds.
The great fund of money in the
banks is not capital owned by the
bankers that they may invest a will.
1t is fund held by the bankers sub
ject to the order of their depositors
and must be invested in the main by
the bankers in such manner that they
can get it back at short notice. 1t is
true that the banks at the moment find
their most pressing problem as to the
finding of ways to invest their idle
funds, but they can only invest a mod
crate amount of those funds in securi-
ties that represent permanent eXpen-
ditures. There is nothing in these low
bank rates to contravert the statement
that investment funds promise to be
increasingly difficult to obtain as long
as the destruction of wealth and the
prodigious borrowing by governments
goes on.
Our plethora of bank reserves is
the result of dull business conditions,
changed reserve requirements under the
law and of considerable influx of gold.
We are in a position to expand bank
loans to an uneXampled amount All
that is promising for commerce, but
it does not mean that money for per-
manent development is to be easily
found I have no doubt that while
these excessive reserves last we are
likely to see banks entering the invest
ment field with their funds to a GER
tain extent Finding that they cannot
employ their money in ordinary COM
mercial loans they will employ some
part of it in bond investments. That
is a sort of imitation that can go on
to some extent without any great
harm. but we must guard against it
becoming too general. You must look
to the investor rather than to the
banker for the proper supply Of develop
ment capital

To Benefit American Business.

T. S. Bache & Co have this TO say
"Our foreign trade is today the most
important factor in general business.
without it the country's industries would
be dull and depressed, with q situation
versing upon hard times. We have the
goods and, of course, desire to sell them,
and Europe wants to buy them be
cause Cf the enormous volume of our
sales, including not alone munitions, but
thus far in much larger amount food
stuTs and commodities, the exchange
market has tipped our way so strongly
that, unless it is rishted, purchases
abroad will be drastically cut and We
shall have our goods on hand. This does
not necessarily apply to war munitions
The purchase of these can and will be
kept up, and Europe can and will, if
necessary, pay for them in gold. 1t is
the regular goods of our merchants and
farmers that will suffer if a way is not
found to eQualize the exchanges SO that
neither buyer nor seller will lose heavily
because of the wide swing Of the needle
in the exchange compass
ut is for the purpose of adjusting this
matter that the Anglo French bankers
commission has come over here.
1.-The matter can best be adjusted by
means of a large loan, the proceeds OF
which will stay on deposit here and be
drawn against to pay our merchants, and
such a loan, on account of its size, and
on account of its widely beneficial char
acter, must be parti, ipated in by bankers,
capitalists and corporations all over the
country

Steel Mills Overwhelmed
by Heavy Rush of Orders

NEW YORK, September 1S.-Steel
mills have been overwhelmed during
the week by the amount of business Of
fered, while the output of crude steel
has been inadequate to meet the pres
sure from the finishing mills. The Du-
luth plant of the Wisconsin Steel Com
pany, a subsidiary of the Steel Cor
poration, will go in commission about
November 1, making available 1000
tons more of irgots per day, but the
output of this plant has been sold for
six months.
The Ensley mill in Alabama is labor
ing under the recent heavy contract
for 100, 900 tons of round shrapnel bars
and the steel for the rolling is being
shipped from the Joliet. Ill, plant of
the American Steel and Wire Company.
Heavy Contracts for Week.
Contracts during the week were
placed for 100000 tons of blooms, bill
lets and bars to cover the manufacture
of projectiles here and abroad for ship
ment over the last quarter of this year
and the first and second quarters of
1916. France was again the largest
buyer and one inquiry with French
specifications is now in the market Tor
about 2t0,0O0 tons OF steel Tor tHe man :
ufacture of ten million 5.5-inch shells
for 1916 shipment. Another inquiry is
for $500 tons of steel blooms for 44,oo0
90 shells for next years shipment.
Export buying of wire continues at
the rate of over 1000 tons per day. The
United States Steel Products Company
has taken orders for $4,000 tons of
barbed and plain wire since september
/. Independent mills also have taken
orders for $4,000 tons for shipment
next year. The purchasers were main
ly for Great Britain and more ton
mage is under negotiation.
General Advance in Prices.
The American Steel and Wire Com
pany today advanced prices Of all wire
products 50 per ton, effective at once.
Soft steel bars are up 81 per ton to
$40 for the first quarter of next year.
Rail contracts placed this week in
cluded 5000 tons for the Lackawanna
railroad, 1000 tons for the Seaboard

Negotiations.

NEW YORK. September 1S.-The
noteworthy feature of today's strong
and active session is that it was shared
in to an unusual degree by the rail-
ways. In fine, its tone was less one
sided than recently, although war spe-
cialties and stocks of kindred descrIp-
tions were again to the fore. In these
issues, however, there were signs of
prof1t-taking on the part of manipu-
lators for the rise.
The advance was somewhat uneX
pected, advices from London regarding
ca binet differences, a condition of dead
lock in the international credit situa-
tion and weakness of foreign exchange
being among the adverse developments
of the day. None of these factors
seemed to initiate against the rise.
