tente representatives explained to the
Chinese Minister Of Finance that they
could not cooperate with Germany.
At the Japanese Legation here TO-

yen loan recently negotiated by Japan
csc bankers on the security OF the

DECIDES AGAINST THE
MISSOURI PACIFIC
Sale of Mortgaged Property for
Default Recommended.

James G.. Graham, the special master
appointed July 81 in the foreclosure
litigation instituted by the Bankers
Trust Company, as trustee, against the
Missouri Pacific Railway Company and
other defendants, yesterday filed his
report in the United States District
Court.
He finds that all the allegations Of
the bill of complaint and of the cross
bill of the Guaranty Trust Company, of
New York, and Benjamin F. Edwards,
as trustees. are true, and that the de-
PENDANT railway has defaulted in the
payment Of interest upon the first and
refunding mortgage bonds, amounting
to S31, 5000, which fell due Septem-
Der /. 1915.
The special master finds that the
Bankers Trust Company is entitled to
a judgment and decree of foreclosure
and recommends that the mortgaged
property be sold in parcels until the
aggregate amount of the bids shall be
sufficient TO pay the entire amount UNI
paid for principal and interest on the
bonds, with the costs.
When the aggregate amount of the
bids reaches sum sufficient for those
payments. the special master suggests
that no further offering be made and
tho nnrcpls he struck down IN tho gur
cessful bidders.

Foreign Orders for Equipment
Reflected in Steel Demand.

Steel mills are confronted with pro-
spective orders for 100000 tons of
various products for delivery over the
next year. Fully 100000 tons should be
added TO this total to cover inquiries
already in the market for delivery in
1918. Nearly one-half of the total ton
mage is of foreign origin. Russia,
France and Italy are still the largest
customers of American manufacturers,
but there are also numerous inquiries
from neutral nations all over the world.
There is reason to believe that some
of the Russian business which has been
under negotiation for months will be
closed in the near future, including one
thousand locomotives, which will re-
ouire about 100000 tons of steel. Other
railroad car inquiries are also under
negotiation for the Cars country re-
curing about $4,000 tons Of steel. The
railroad cars wanted by France and
Italy will probably require 100000 tons
of steel. Rail inquiries from the Al
lied governments aggregate 100000
tons, half of which is for France. There
are also numerous small inquiries run
ming from a few hundred TO several
thousand tons each.
In the aggregate the specific foreign
business under negotiation calls for ap-
proximately 100000 tons of steel, the
bulk of it being for the manufacture
of railroad equipment. The next heavi-
est inquiry comes from foreign ship
builders. Russia and Japan are also
urgently in the market for tin plate.
The export inquiries for pig iron cover
a large tonnage in the aggregate, large
ly for steel-making grades for ship
ment to France, Italy and Great Britain.
Neutral countries, such as Holland,
Scandinavia, Switzerland and South
America, want foundry grades. Several
additional sales of Bessemer iron have
been made by furnaces in the Chicago
district for shipment to France. Pro-
spective foreign business, including
iron as we'll as steel. is probably not
far from 100000 tons, and with mill
capacity already sold for six to ten
months ahead, the prospect for the
American industry is brilliant.

tust before my connection with the Over

The production Of the company has IN

about 10000 cars behind in actual delv-

Potential LiQuida ton.

II is TO be noted that the recent re-
vival Of speculative activity in Wall
Street is calculated to help our new
war loan in several ways. The rise
will enable a number of Canadian hold
ers of American stocks to liquidate:
and presumably a considerable part of
the proceeds of sales will 20 into the
war bonds. And If the improvement in
values continues further additional
holdings of Americans can be liqui-
dated without loss. There is reason to
believe that considerable amount Of
American stocks owned by Canadians
has been awaiting ssle-the holders be-
ing willing TO let them off as soon as
a respectable bulge in prices occurred

Paris. Sept. 21.-The gold belong
ing to the Bank of France but held
in foreign countries has remained
since the end of August at 574,OOO,-
900 francs. 1t is under this total
that gold is contributed by France
to the Allied gold pool held in the
Bank of England for the common use
of all the Allies in the purchase of
munitions, chiefly in the United
States.
French contributions to the pool
began with 2OO,0OO,O00 francs, and
have reached now nearly three times
that figure. Of course, all will be
paid back to the Bank of France af-
ter the war, but in the mean time 1t is
evident that Frances contribution to
Allied war finance is not quite the
negligible quantity it has often been
represented in some quarters.
A copy of "The Cologne Gazette"
just received in speaking Of the fifth
German loan says the fourth en-
countered great opposition and the
fifth will find much more. 1t says it
has received letter from Won Gwin-
ner, a nephew of the president of the
Deutsche Bank, saying he and many
of his comrades in the trenches have
refused TO subscribe to the loan be-
cause they think it will prolong the
war.
The Bourse continues to be af-
fected by realizations made in view
of the approaching war loan. For
eign bonds, railroad stocks and cop
Ter stocks continue to be offered
freely. On the other hand, Creusot
and other French steel stocks have
gene up in price.

Current

The above rates express the cost OF
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling for S4.75lj; the intrinsic par
ity is S4.S65, per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at a dis
count or that dollars are at premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with
which to settle accounts IN this coun-
try is greater than the demand in this
country for pounds with which to
settle accounts IN England.

Thursday, September 21, 1916.

A stock market strong in all its
parts-in railroad shares, in the in
dustrials, in motors, in coppers, IN
Mercantile Marine certificates, In
ternational Nickel and BatOpolis
Mining. Why should not everything
90 up? Everything does. Oats are
selling at the price of corn, corn at
the price of wheat, and wheat at a
price which may oblige people to
stop wasting bread. Usually, that IS
TO say, invariably heretofore, stocks
have been the first to rise, in antici-
patton of an increased demand for
commodities at rising prices. In this
case commodities have gone up faster
than stocks. This is true of all goods,
but especially of the commodities
necessary to modern survival. These
are not only the goods with which to
sustain life, as in normal times, but
also those with which to destroy life.
The demand for both has exceeded
the most extravagant expectations.
Stock Exchange spectators find
themselves in the dilemma Of having
to "bull" stocks, not on what will be,
but on what already is. They have
to buy copper shares, for example,
not on what they may be expected to
earn, but on what they are earning.
The same is true of the steel stocks.
Realities have overwhelmed the i'm
agination.

The railroad executives are cool
ing off. There may be yet some
thing to save from the wreck. The
cight-hour law may turn out to be
rather a nuisance than a calamity
There is at least the possibility that
the consumer will survive and con-
tinue TO pay, as before. The task is
TO get it over TO him as fast as pos
sible. These are reflections arising
from the meeting at 81 Broadway on
Wednesday. 1t is improbable that
they had any effect upon railroad
shares, which were very strong, but
NAV have been strong for other rea-
sons. All things move on flood
tide, except for special reasons.

unchanged at pa per cent.
Time money on brokers' Stock Tx
change collateral is a shade easier.
The relaxing tendency is reflected
principally in the rates for mixed
loans carrying over the year, the bid

down !. to 81 per cent. Not only is
the demand somewhat less as the re-
suit of the decreased activity in the
stock market, but lenders are trife
freer with their offerings.

Never was the variety Of stocks
dealt in so great as now it is on the
New York Stock Exchange, and
never was the activity so widely dis
tributed. No one thing contributes
an abnormal proportion of the daily
sum of activity. Steel common may
be the feature" of the market, with
fewer than 100000 shares. In bull
market engineered by manipulation
i is different. The activity is trans
ferred from one thing to another. 1t
is an extraordinary fact that SO
much Of the present market appears
to be Of a spontaneous origin.
