Praise for British Issue.

Dividing interest with the French
loan Yesterday was the enormous new
loan of Great Britain. While It lett
unsettled the question how England
was to keep American exchange from
going any further against her, II called
forth many admiring comments IN the
financial district, and the feeling was
strong here that the British govern
ment had done more in that one stroke
70 insure the successful prosecution OF
the war than in all her campaigns
against drink and inefiiciency in, her
workshops and in her enlistment prop
apanda. What was particularly com
mended was the plan for tive-shilllnc
participation certificates, making It
possiblc for those of small means TO
contribute their mites 70 the war chest.
If some expectations here are realized
this will bring cat from hearthstoAes
and chimney cupboards a great amount
of gold known to be in the British
isles. but hitherto inaccessible for
Government uses. And therein may be
n part of the solution of the exchange
prOblcm.

TOPICS OF THE DAY
in WALL STREET
Baltimore & Ohio's May
Earnings Stimulate
Railroad Shares.
FIRST MONTHS GAIN
IN GROSS REVENUES
New French Loan Negotiated
British War Issue Plan Is
Praised by Bankers.

Baltimore G. Ohio's May earnings,
with their cheering increase in gross
lthc first in the fiscal year., made
the rallying-cry of the days stock
market. With their help the railroads
were given more prominence in the
trading than they have known for
many a long day. Gross increased
$544,l66 in that rate increases played
q good part, but actual gains in bust
ness more and net advanced the as
tonishing amount Of $l,265.2oG, or
nearly 81 per cent. For the eleven
months to the end of May the loss in
net was reduced to $l.4l0,72i, or al
most cut in half, notwithstanding at
gross is still $S,OO0,0CO behind 1914.
In the gross gain for May was natur-
ally found more encouragement than
i'm the net, because il seemed all too
plain, with respect TO the latter, that
much Of the saving was made at the
expense Of the maintenance accounts.
But when it is considered that in 1914
there was charged against maintenance
some 100000 TO pay for the loss b.
floods. 1t is evident that there was very
little skipping on the road this year,

More Foreign Selling.

Il was notable yesterday, as it was
on Monday. that there was a consid-
cradle number Of "seller 2O' sales OF
bonds; sales, that is, where the actual
certificates could not be demanded for
twenty days. Usually these are taken
to indicate foreign selling, they hav-
ing been frequent in the days when
selling from Europe was known to be
large Among the bonds thus made
conspicuous were Baltimore ONO
Is, Atchison Is, New York Central
3las. Central Pacific first As and Den
YER & Rio Grande refundng IS. The
weakness of Canadian Pacific, shares
which equallcd their previous low rec
ord of the year, 1875, established on
June 7, was taken as substantiatinng
onidation. though it might well have
been due TO American selling brought
about by fear that the dividend rate
would be lowered.

Nav Be Sold Ultimately.

The French loan will not be passed
on to the public here, unless there is
a change of plan such as is not now
contemplated But it was thought in
the financial district yesterday that
the loan was likely to be a preliminary
to an ultimate sale of some of the col
lateral in this market 1t would not
be matter of too much difficulty to
arrange with the corporations that
originally issued the bonds which are
being used as collateral to change
their form from frame to dollar Sc
curities and possibly to arrange for
their listing on the American ex-
changes. That accomplished they
would enjoy wide market.

Railroads Have q Day.

The twenty railroad stocks used by
Dow, Jones & Co. as an index Of the
market showed gain yesterday OF
Gl-lOOths Of a point; the twelve indus
trials a gain of l-10Oth 81 point:
The index reflected the character o.
the whole market with fidelity. In the
commission houses a good deal or sat
isfaction was felt over the switch of
interest into the railroad issues,
though it was said that if the new
movement died out to-day it would
not be reasonable to expect anything
but an indifferent market until at least
the German reply to the latest LuSl-
tan'a note was received. As the eN-
pcctation is that the answer viii be
conciliatory, hopes of market activity
run high.

The Uses Of Adversely.

Pacific Mail has become, in sense
war stock. Its strength lies in the
inability Of the company behind 1t to
do business at a profit under the nayi-
cation laws of the United States The
theory as to its assets is that for them
there is no strength in unity but in
division. The ships can be sold now
to better purpose than they can be
used-used by the Pacific Mail Thanks
to the scarcity of vessels created by
the war they are worth a good deal
more than they were even six months
ago. and because the property is likely
TO "cut up we'll" the speculative com
munitv has bid up the shares.

PHILADELPHIA PLANS
ARMY LEAGUE BRANCH
Gen. Johnston Pleased at Spread Of
Movement for United States
Reserve Force.

In discussing the proposed organiza-
tion of a branch of the Army League
in Philadelphia Gen. John A. Johnston,
president of the league, said today:
IT was highly gratified with the spirit
and enthusiasm of the Philadelphia
meeting. Philadelphia appears to be
thoroughly aroused as to the impor-
tance of giving the nation an adequate
land force. The people of the city have
taken the movement entirely in their
own hands. and I am assured that a
strong and aggressive branch of the
Army League will be organized there.
Up to this time the officers of the Army
League have conducted no campaign
for the organization of branches. and
this matter will probably be left in the
hands of state and local leaders in the
national defense movement"
Gen Johnston received advices today
from Baltimore that number of prom
fnent men are discussing the advisa-
bility of organizing branch there.
and in all probability Baltimore will
follow the example of Philadelphia.
Under the constitution of the Army
League a branch is empowered not only
to elect all of it's officers, but to COM
pletely control its affairs The central
association, with headquarters at Wash
ington, simply issues charter and re-
quires that the branches adopt the same
general policy in advocating an ade-
quate land defense for the nation.
