DOMINION OFFICIALS
 SEEK WAR CHAPTERS
Claim to Have Uncovered Case il Which Colt Fire Arms Company
 Is Involved

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 26-A Canadian commission led by Sir Charles David son, which is Investigating war con- tracts with the aim of discovering whether government officials are profiting unduly from the business, made a discovery of some interest yes- terday. It was learned according to a story published in the Ottawa Jour- nal, that Colonel J Wesley Allison had benefited privately when in the fall of 1914 he let a contract to the Colt Patent Fire Arms company of Hartford for 5000 Colt automati ? pistols for the Canadian government
 Previously Colonel Allison had sworn that he did not profit by the deal, but Sir Charles Davidson learn ed from Samuel M. Stone, vice presi- dent of the Coult company, that he had made a money present to Allison as reward for giving the business to Colts. Colonel Allison accepted half the amount offered him according to the Journal" story. Montreal papers say MT. Stone claimed the payment to Colonel Allison was in the nature of @ present and was not a rake-off or graft.

it IS impossible to determine, though in this connection it may be men, toned that the loans of the New York associated banks have increased S1,- O66, 100000 during the year, and that of this amount over $7OOOO, ,OOO rep resented loans on investmentt securi- ties. This phenomenal expansion of loans proves that infationary in- fuences are operating in an irresistible manner. These must be attributed to operation of the federal reserve act, to the remarkable importation of gold and to the general inf1atjonary results of the war. Fortunately the cash re- serves of the country's national banks show an increase for the year of 5,OOO,OOO.
 Crop Outlook.
 There is one feature of the situation which is not all that might be desired, and that is the crop outlook. Our winter wheat acreage promises to show a small decrease owing to con- tra ctiOn in the south. At the same time a very considerable portion of the winter wheat crop has been win ter killed. According to the present outlook there is no chance for another bumper wheat crop in 1916. It is too early, however, for crop prospects to become an important factor in the business situation.
 The immediate outlook is exceed ingly uncertain. If home influences rule we should have an active and ad- vancing market, but they do not On the contrary this market is dominated more than ever by the disastrous con- fict across the sea. The pressure of foreign holdings of American securi- ties is constant and must continue in view of enormous loans still pending. Confidence is also easily disturbed by any pernicious activities emanating from Washington. If any improvement were to develop in our relations with Germany it would be quickly felt iii the security markets

conditions. The fact that the muni- tions movement has already reached it's zenith is plainly evident, many items under this head now showing important declines. Breadstuffs ex- ports showed a decline of $15,000,000 in January and cotton Q decrease of S25, 900, 900. We have now reached the season when exports usually de- cline, and in view of the smaller ship me1ts of war materials We may look forward to more normal conditions in our foreign trade balance much more manageable affair. Imports are tending to revive, and the continued heavy influx of American securities tends to prevent further undesira ble importation of gold. Great Britain is moreover discouraging imports; fac tor which will tell unfavorably in the lcng run upon cur export trade. The only offset to this is the improved status of the foreign exchange sltua- ton, which a year ago was assuming very threatening aspects: This is complication which does not appear likely to occur again.
 Money Situation.
 The money situation continues sat isfactory, loanable funds being abun- dant at comparatively easy rates, and this in spite of an enormous expan- sion of loans The latest report of the country's national bank shows an eX- pansion of s1,O1O,0 O,00O,00O in loans compared with a year ago. This is the largest expansion since 1911 when the increase was nearly s4O0,00O,OOO. How much of the increase has been due to loans on returned American securities

American Locomotive Strongest of Equipment Group on Exchange

New York, Feb 26.-Such widely divergent stockgs as Reading and American Locomotive were the leaders of today's dull and irregular market, each scoring a two point ad- vance, while coppers and few specialties were disposed of to har- den. Rails also preserved some sem blance of firmness but steady selling cf the war issues and petroleums, as we'll as Marine preferred, United States Steel and a few other active stocks, soon wiped out all gains. In fact, some leading shares repeated or fell under lowest prices of the mid- week Support was again lacking, leaving a free field for the trading element. The closing was weak. Bonds were steady.
 New York, Feb. 26, Wall street, 10:90 a. m.-Aside from some strength in the metal group and few special ties, initial quotations in today s stock market were without substantial change from yesterdays final figures.

London, Feb. 26.-President Will sons letter to Senator Stone, chair man of the senate foreign relations committee, is published this morning ana aHords the London daily news papers the greatest satisfaction A majority of the newspapers print editorials on it.
 The presidents words have the right ring to them," says The Daily Chronicle. He makes plain to the whole world that the United States is unshakable in it's resolve to reject the impudent demand of Germany Tn fact, the whole substance of the letter proves that, for all his patience and forbearance, the president has a clear objective which he steadily pursues. and that when there is need to strike lie can strike hard.''
 Lofty, Moral Attitude.
 The Times says:
 "The president remains immovablv true to his lofty, moral attitude, On how far he will carry the countr1,,s opinion with him in the contingencies that may arise it would be iniu- dtcious and improper to speculate. But be the issue what it may, Presi- dent Wilson deserves credit for stand ing manfully to his guns.'
 The Morning Post says:
 It IS the fate of America, whether 1t will or not, to make choice be- tween her own gods and Germany's Idols. President Wilson has sufficient " defined the situation, and in so doing he has earned the respect of the civilized world"
