TREASURY BILLS
ARE AUTHORIZED
Morgan & Co. Describe
Newborn of British and
French Securities

The imminent innovation in the
method Of financing British and French
purchases In this country was outlined
Yesterday in a statement issued by
J. P. Morgan & Co., which said;
an response to inquiries We are
able 10 state that the British and
French government treasures have
each authorized the sale in this mar
ket Of limited amount of their short
term bills, running at various maturi-
ties from thirty days to six months.
"These bills, which in form are much
similar TO the New York City revenue
bills, will be payable in dollars in New
York City. They will probably be
available on or about December / and
at rates based largely upon money
market conditions
1t is not expected that the initial
sales of the bills will be in sufficient
volume to affect materially the sterling
exchange market. Payments in gold
for the huge purchases Of the Allies
in this country have been resumed.
There will arrive in New York on Mon
day shipment of S7,500,O0O from OF
tawa consigned to J. P. Morgan e. Co.
This will mark the beginning Of an
other movement which will total at
least $25,0O0,OO0, with a likelihood Of
considerably more to follow.
Although the statement issued by
J. p. Morgan & Co, acting as agents
OF Great Britain and France, says that
the treasury bills of those countries
will be Limited" in amount, the mean
ing is that the amount is "indetermi
nate" It is intended that the bills
will be sold in such quantities as the
demand may require. The rates will
probably range between ga per cent
and Az per cent, but will be governed
by the condition of the money market
at the time the bills may be offered
for sale.
The Allied governments bills are
nothing more or less than their I. o.
Us. They will be engraved in this
country. The contract has been let
to the American Bank Note Company.
After they have been engraved they
will be signed by the British Embassy,
which will turn them over to the issu-
ing bankers TO sell.
AS the bills mature they will be paid
off with the proceeds from the sale Of
similar bills having a later maturity.
Emphasis is put upon the opinion that
this form of payment does not consti-
tute renewal"

A. T. @ T. ISSUES BONDS
BESIDES NEW STOCK
Funds Needed for Construction
and Refunding

The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, IL was announced yes
terday, had adopted a financial plan
which. in addition TO providing for an
issue Of 100000 in new stock, also
provides for the sale Of SS0,000,000 3
per cent thirty-year collateral trust
bonds. The proceeds from the offer
ing Of these securities will finance
maximum construction and refunding
requirements for 1917 and 1918.
Offering Of the new bonds will be
made in the near future. The price
has not been fixed but it is expected
that il will be close 70 par, as in the
case Of the stock issue. J. P. Morgan
& Co. and associates have purchased
the bonds and large syndicate will
participate in the Offering Reasons for
the new financing are stated by Theo-
dore n. Vail, president Of the company,
in a letter to stockholders as follows:
Commencing IN 1915. we have had an
abnormal increase Of business. which has
taxed not only the surplus plant, but al
the new plant that could possibly be pro-
vided
During The coming year we shall not
only have 10 provide what we may call our
normal increase. but also replace 10
large extent our surplus plant. providing
We can get material and labor.
II requires from six months 70 a year
TO provide the necessary material and
equipment and build the conduits. obtain
rights Of way and make the manifold
preparations for final construction.
Our expenditures next year are obliga-
tory from the nature Of our business under
any possible conditions Our expenditures
for construction for 1913 must be prepared
for during the coming year. and FOR the
greater part be made under any business
conditions likely 10 prevail. And the short
term notes due in February Of that year
must, Of course, be met
Mr.. Vail said that the increase in N.
surplus revenue of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company for 1915
over 1915 will be over S7OOO.O0O. or
more than enough to take care Of all
the charges on the securities proposed

now become evident that no decline
in prices is to be looked for in some
time" THE Railway Age-Gazette"
forgets TO ascribe either the fact that
the railroads held of from buying or
the fact that no decline In prices may
be looked for TO the baleful influence
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's work upon human psychology
and economic events. But that is
aside. The point of all this was to
say that the necessity for investing
capital in new facilities, notwith-
standing the high level Of prices for
material and labor, is bound to have
many deferred consequences. a To-
comotive, a telephone wire, lathe
or a thrashing machine bought at
these prices, to pay the interest on
its cost, provide for its own renewal
and leave a profit over will have to
earn more not tomorrow or next
year but throughout its economic
life. Otherwise, it becomes unproit-
able.

BANKERS NOT AGREED
ON ARGENTINE LOAN
Renewal of $5,OOO,OOO Note Is
sue, Due Dec. Is, Is Expected

Efforts of New York bankers to
reach an agreement with the Argentine
government on a plan for the consoli-
dation OF that country's short term
obligations in this market into one
large loan have not yet met with sue
cess. One of the reasons given for the
delay is that two influential groups of
bankers are competing for the privilege
of underwriting the loan.
Although daily conferences have
been held during the week 10 hasten
the adoption OF comprehensive re-
funding operation, it appeared yester-
day that an issue OF 100000 Argen-
tine per cent notes. maturing on De-
cember Is, would have to be renewed.
Bankers were hopeful. however, that
current negotiations will bear fruit
later in the form Of a loan that will
take care Of the South American re-
public's obligations maturing over the
next four years. These amount to $685.
100000, exclusive Of the December ma
turity.

LONDON MARKET
MUCH DEPRESSED
Viscount Grey's Vacation
and Attacks on Cabinet
Burden Exchange
Nv FRANCIS w. HIRST

London, Nov. 24.-The tone OF the
Stock Exchange remains very heavy
under discouraging news and an in
creasing load of paper. 1.-THE Man
chester Guardian" makes the regret
table announcement that Viscount
Grey has retired to the country for
some weeks of complete rest.
The announcement that several
minor ministers will address plat
form meeting indicates that the
Cabinet will welcome public discus
sion of the large issues and also re-
fleets a feeling that the government
needs defending against the ginger
press" attacks.
Computations showing an APP
preaching world shortage in food
are alarming. Argentine crop re-
ports are very depressing and ex-
plain the weakness of Argentine
rails. Heroic measures here would
include closing down luxury shops
and luxury manufactures and con-
centration of the productive energy
on articles Of prime necessity. Ris-
ing food prices will greatly raise war
expenditures everywhere.
Among the new war industries
likely to last is the manufacture of
synthetic drugs. Many enterprising
and clever young chemists have been
working successfully to supply the
market with these hitherto German
monopolies.
The doll trade is a curiosity. Be
fore the war German dolls wigs
were imported from Bradford, while
dolls eyes were a speciality of Ger
man glassblowers. Now the eyes
as well as the wigs are being manu-
featured here.
According to a recent market re-
port in "The Cologne Gazette" mill
tary needs have placed all iron and
steel establishments under the gov
ernment's control, with the result
that peace orders cannot be executed.
This disposes of the tariff reformers'
suggestion that the German steel
trade will dump its products abroad
after the war. Rubber prices will
rise with the freight shortage, but
this fact should not raise rubber
shares.
The important political change at
Petrograd only slightly affected the
Russian exchange here, which has
been firmly controlled recently.
