Interest is taken in the proposeds or rumored new British war loan, which, it is said. will be free of the income tax to foreign holders. Tn this con nection the "Chronicle" says: How large a subscription will be available in this country is problernatica1, es- pecially as the kAnglo-F' French Loan bonds which were offered outside of the underwriters at 9S. have now de- clined to 94 3-4. Whatever the amount of American subscription however, may be will be a. correspond- ing aid in the St ring exchange situa- ton. Some falling off in the supply of commercial bills is to be noted. There seems some disposition in for eign exchange circles to regard the crest of the wave of export activity as having been reached. It is true that large amounts of supplies on war or ders placed last year are still to be delivered for export, On the other hand, new orders are comparatively scarce and the Entente Governments, which have been the chief customers of American manufacturers, have been able to so increase their own productive capacity of war material as to be much less dependent upon this country

Bond Market Shows
 Caution Is Supreme.

The investment market has quieted q down considerably and trading in all classes of issues has materially les- sened since the dispute with the Gen. tral Powers took on a more serious phase The general disposit ion among investors is to go slowly on commitments until the international situation clears up. The. standard issues have held firm in prices with the receding activity. The most mo- the close of last week was the sale of and bids for the $5O.000. .0ee Mid vale Steel 5s, which were given a good reception at the hands of invest ors- This issue was spoken for al- most as soon as they were announced by the syndicate of bankers. These bonds occupy strong position, as is readily apparent in the working cap tta,l, production and earning power of the company.
 Another interesting movement in bonds last week was the sale by the British Treasury of $zz, 800, 900 U. S. Steel 5s to the Steel Corporation. The latter bought them with part of it's large cash surplus, and 1t is under stood that they will be used by the Corporation for sinking fund pur- poses.

 For some reason or other, Hank Gowdy seems to confine all his hitting to worlds series. In a. way this is helpful, but there are some 24 weeks of the season when the Boston fans wish Henry would whale the ball for half the figure he hit in the worlds series of 1914. That, of course. was .545. Last season Henry hit .247, and he didn't hit it very often.
