Of the total is- sues for the last six months, only about $430, 100000 were for railroads, $258, 8,000,000 for public utilities and the remainder for industrial and mis- ce1laneous purposes. There has been great expansion in new steel enter prises; also, in the development of pe- troleum and natural gas. A further indication of industrial development was the volume of charters granted in the principal states during June, those
 gregating $327,000,000, or $97,000,- 900 more than year ago. Over ESQ., 000,000 of this amount represented
 new petroleum concerns. The issue of new railroad securities has undoubted- ly been restrained by the buying back among investors of large amount of securities returned from abroad on account of the British war finance. Rumors of further foreign loans in
 this market continue, but have not yet materialized. Negotiations for a $10O, 100000 French loan are report ed, also considerable applications from Russia and China. Nothing fur ther has been heard of new British

Mrs. Sykes Wants To
 Find Hubby and Make
 Dive of 1000 Feet

A woman describing herself as the wife of John Sykes, who was en- ployed at the Remington Arms plant until last week, appeared at police headquarters today to ask the assist ance of the authorities in locating her husband of three weeks and also her diamond ring which he took when he deserted her last Monday. Incident ally Mrs. Sykes told the attaches of the building of her prowess as a high diver and confided that she wished to dive 1000 feet from an aeroplane in order to attract notoriety so that she could go on the stage.
 Mrs. Sykes, whose maiden name was Olstrom, said that she met Sykes in Boston, where he held a responsible position with some concern. His du- ties were to sit at desk for two hours a day and draw down $50 per week. They were married June 16 and then came to this city where Sykes went to work at the Arms plant. A week ago he told the wife that he had to go to Boston to pay a note and after borrowing money from his brother, he had, Mrs. Sykes give him her diamond ring. That was the last seen of him.
 Investigation by Mrs. Sykes has dis closed that he drew his pay at the Arms company before leaving. Mrs. Sykes claims to have swam a falls in 1914 and to have dived 1S0 feet into four feet of water. She said that she, was to dive from the aeroplane at San Francisco last year but was in an automobile accident, suffering a broken rib, and the doctor forbade the feat. After telling her tale to the police, she left stating that she would some day dive from among the clouds and then be an attraction fbe hind the footlights.
