mo SECURITIES
ON SUBMARINE
"Americans" Have Practi-
cally All Been Sold by
Germany, Say Bankers.

Bankers with German connections
were positive yesterday that no Ameri-
can securities were on the submarine
freighter at Baltimore. This was no.
only because the manifest showed none,
but because the opinion that the large
majority Of this country's stocks and
bonds held in Germany had been sold
either before the war or soon after.
II was also believed that Germany
would not risk shipping any great
amount of securities on the maiden trip
of her undersea merchant craft. The
point was also made that rather than
subject millions in stocks and bonds TO
risk of capture by the British, those
securities would be burned in Berlin
or some other important German city
in the presence Of American officials
and new securities issued here IN tneir
place. This has been done, the bank
ers said. but not on a large scale.
An effect was seen in the market Tor
exchange on Berlin, due 20 the arrival
Of the submarine. Reichmark checks
advanced above IS. against Saturday )

rise was purely sentimental IN the
opinion Of foreign exchange circles. II
Germany is able 20 establish perma-
nent trade route 70 America the ship
ments to that country would be more
than likely 70 result in further drop
in the value Of the mark.
shipping dyestufs and chemicals
to American manufacturers would be
only a minor Offset 70 the great guam
titles of goods that Germany needs,
said q banker who has been instrumen-
tai in floating German loans in this
country. On the return trip from Bal
timore the giant submarine would
probably be loaded with q big tonnage
Of rubber. for Germany is sadly in need
of this for gloves for surgeons. It is
not to be expected that the value OF the
mark will continue to rise. On the
other hand, it is likely that further
weakness will develop on actual heavy
shipments to Germany"

COTTON DECLINES:
CLOSE AT LOWEST
Crop Not Permanently Damaged
by Recent Storm Is the
General Belief.

III was the general impression after
the close of the cotton market yester-
day that the decline in prices had re-
fieeted the liquidation of discouraged
holders and the growth of more bear
lsh or reactionary sentiment owing TO
the failure of recent storm news 10
create any important volume Of fresh
buying. Moreover. there appeared TO
be feeling around the ring that the
storm had caused no permanent dam
age of importance to the crop. and
there was tendency TO discount the
appearance of clearing weather. After
opening firm at an advance of s TO
points. prices eased off rather sharply,
closing steady at net decline of TO
l3 points. December contracts sold
down from 1850 to 1317c, and the
general closed within a point or two OF
the lowest
The opening advance was in respon Sc
to relatively steady cables, reports OF
further rains over the week end. and
feeling that the storm warnings
which had been ordered for the South
Atlantic coast reflected the approach
OF fresh disturbance. After opening
firm at an advance Of TO points, the
market soon weakened in consequence
of the more optimistic view of weather
prospects, and as prices eased off with
out encountering any decided opposi-
tion the scattered selling became a
little more active. Spot houses were
moderate buyers on scalcdown.
Otherwise demand was particularly
quiet. and prices reached the lowest
point Of the day in the late trading
when active months sold 10 TO l3 points
under Saturdays closing figures.
Reports from New Orleans TO the ef-
feet that ocean freight rates for Sep
tember. October and November ship
ment had advanced 20 81 per hundred
attracted some attention. but houses
with Liverpool connections were not
important traders here on either side
of the account. Private cables report
cd a quiet, steady market in Liverpool,
and buyers abroad have evidently taken
advantage Of the recent easier ruling OF
ocean freights. as clearances continue
remarkably full for this season of the
year. Yesterdays amounted 20 46.22l
bales or considerably in excess Of clear

U. S. STEEL TONNAGE DROPS
Untitled Orders Of Corporation Less
Than Generally Expected.

A decrease in untitled orders OF the
United States Steel Corporation
amounting to 297,34O tons for June
exceeded the decrease expected in well
informed circles, 1t was stated yester-
day, following the issuance Of the
monthly report.
The statement showed untitled or
ders. as Of June 30. Of 9,64O.45s tons.
compared with 9,937.7 79S tons on May
81, and with 4,67s,i96 tons on June 30
last year.
Although the decrease was greater
than was expected, steel trade authori-
ties said that the showing when anal
yzed was good. 1t was pointed out that
the shipments OF the corporation in
June were larger than at any time pre-
vious. on some days reaching $1,000
tons, and that a fair average for the
month would possibly be 10000 tons a
day.
