RATES FOR MONEY
Payment on Anglo Loan Called

NEW YORK March 25.-The Anglo
French Commission has made another call
of 80 per cent. for the final deposit in
depostary banks, payable April 5. The
amount involved in this call is approxi-
mately S16 900, 900, leaving a balance of
6,000,000 yet to be called from the de-
positary banks. This money is TO be
deposited with the National City Bank on
April 15 and is one-half of the final deposit
of s32, 100000, made with the depositary
banks on December II, 1916. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be but one more call
of $16,000,O00, which will absorb all the
proceeds derived from the Anglo-French
$500. 100000 bond sale, and which has
been on deposit at the depositary banks
located throughout the United States

EXPANSION IN GENERAL BUSINESS
THROUGHOUT COUNTRY CONTINUES
Shown by Increases in Bank Clearings and Heavv =.
mand for Steel Products-Inquires From DomoS+;o ~
Consumers Enough to Absorb Capacity of plants

Business throughout the country con-
tinues TO expand. This is shown very
conclusively in two ways-by the large
increases in bank clearIngs from week to
week and the heavy demand for steel
products and constantly advancing prices
with predictions being freely made that
prices will go even higher This week
all cities contributed to the increase in
clearlngs, the gross amount being 49.7
per cent above the same period of the pre-
vlous year.
Speaking of the steel trade today, one
of the best authorities on the industry in
this country said that while II is true
that the demand for Europe is large, the
Inquiries from consumers in the United
States are sufficient at present to absorb
the capacity Of the plants.

| LONDON, March 25.-A renewed rise

The War study Society. Of Copenhagen
has just published a careful survey Of
the finances of each belligerent country
and contiguous neutrals like Sweden and
Holland. It contains 50 duarto pages, and
deals mainly with public loans and other
means adopted for the covering of war ex-
penses. Its writer's calculate that If the
war lasts two years, until August 1, the
French debt will grow from 81, 300, 900, 900
TO f2900 100000; of the Germans from

and Russian debts are practically equal
but the German debt Is the largest, IL
State debts are added. The total debts of
all 10 belligerents exceed f14,0000O0,0
The present British revenue without
further taxation will cover the new debt
charge, with handsome margin for PEN

coming more intractable. with revenues
less than before the war and with higher
tariffs, which are designed for protection
rather than for revenue
