Money rates which have been hard
ening for some time past as result OF
the declining reserves OF local lending
Institutions shot up yesterday to the
highest levels in a long time. Call
money loaning at per cent on the
Stock Exchange stood at the highest
since the board resumed operations
after its long suspension. Approx
mately 100000 loaned on the eX-
change at that figure. but the major
ity OF loans were negotiated at so per
cent, around sl2,000,OOO to $lb,OOO'OOO
being placed at that figure. Some 81
100000 loaned at 3h per cent early In
the day, rates frming up and touching
the high around o'clock. Renewals
we're also the highest for more than
two years at per cent, compared win
previous top OF ga per cent. Call
loans before yesterday had risen on
two different occasions earlier THIS
year % 3i1 per cent. So far as could
be learned yesterdays movement 70
higher rates had little effect on the
stock market, stock prices having be-
gun 70 ease of before the rise IN
money began. A number OF large
banking houses we're reported yester-
day to have called loans. Time money
rates also hardened.

ing of the death Of Lord Kitchener and
his staff. While generally deplored in
Wall Street circles, this development
showed no reflection in the stock mar
ket, IL apparently being assumed that
tho loss of the English Secretary for
War was without particular bearing on
the general situation on the other side,
rs his task of organizing the British
land forces had been practically COM
peted. News of larger copper divi-
bends, news that the Street has been
looking for some little time past, failed
TO arouse any unusual degree Of en-
thusiasm among the speculative follow
ing. and the failure Of the coppers to
respond TO the increases added one
more disappointment to the recent rec
ord of the group. Nevada. Utah, Butte
and Superior and Chino all increased
their extra dividends, while Chino and
Utah both laid aside funds to
add TO their milling capacity.
At the same time Kennecott made
good on the report that the dividend
would be increased TO a per cent
basis. Despite all this bullish news
the metal shares did comparatively ut

AERO CONCERNS
MAY COMBINE
Wright and Curtiss Plan
100000 Holding Co.
Ends Patent War.

Negotiations looking toward merger
Of the Wright Company and the Cur
tiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation
were admitted to be under way yes
terday in quarters familiar with the
progress of the discussions. The union
Of the two companies will put an end
forever to the controversy between the
Wrights and Glenn II. Curtiss over al
legged patent arrangements.
While the combination Of the two
largest aeroplane companies in the
United States has not yet been defn-
itely agreed upon, at the current stage
of the negotiations it is contemplated
to form new corporation with a CAPT
tai between s30,O00,000 and $4,000, 900.
The stock of the existing companies
will probably be acquired on an ex-
change basis.
A syndicate Of bankers, according TO
present plans, may be formed TO under
write an Offering of securities to the
public. IL is understood that the new
company will take over the rights to
manufacture certain foreign flying
machines In this country.
Both the Wright and Curtiss COM
panies were reorganized early this
year. William b. Thompson was the
dominant factor in the taking over Of
the former concerns control from Or
vile Wright, who received 100000 and
contract for his employment at
$685. year for his stock. In the re,
organization the capital was increased
from $1,000,000 to S5,000,000.
Control of the Curtiss Company was
obtained in January by a syndicate
headed by William Morris Imbrie &
Co. Curtiss was reported to have re-
ceived for his holdings 100000 in
cash, $3,500,0O0 in per cent cumula-
tive preferred stock and $4,000 shares
of common Of no par value.

confederation is hostile to women,
but does not dare fight. So it is
trying to lay down rules that will
result in forcing women out OF many
places. 1t is trying, among other
things, to choose the trades where
women may be accepted and to fix
their pay, under pretence that wom-

questions for themselves; but so far
the confederation has not been able
to fool the women.
The Senate is tightening up the

tBy Cable to Tho Tribunal
Paris, June 6.-The Minister Of
Finance, Alexandra Ribot, has
solved the difficulty that has been
preventing holders Of American Sc
curities on the Paris Bourse from
lending their securities to the gov
eminent for purposes Of war finance.
Provision is now made that the
lenders Of such securities can de-
mand of the government at any
time that their shares be sold for
them in New York and the money
RENTED subject to the rate of ex-
change on the day of sale.
In cases where French holders
have left shares on deposit in New
York they are not required to bring
them here to lend to the govern
ment, as that only means two trans
portations across the ocean, as thu
government wants to use them IN
New York to raise money.
The law preventing new Issues OF
stock without government authorize
ton is being made more strict. The
latest structure is that a second Of
fence means two years in prison.

COTTON HIT BY NEW
ENGLISH DISASTER
Uncertainty of Its Seriousness
Causes Slump, but Market
Closes High and Firm.

Uncertainty as 20 the lmfnedlate ei-
feet of the latest British disaster on
trade sentiment in Liverpool seemed TO
cause some nervousness and irregular
ity in the cotton market here during
yesterdays early trading. Slight de-
clines were followed by rallies, how
ever, with the market showing a stead
Ter tone during the afternoon when
prices worked some 20 10 points above
Mondays closing figures, with Decem-
Der selling at 1902. or "a points above
the low level Of last week. The close
was steady at net advance of 10
9 points for the day.
The early market at Liverpool was
relatively steady, but prices there broke
several points just before the start OF
business here, and this naturally in
spired some scattered local selling.
The market opened az an advance Of
points TO a decline of l point, and ac-
tive months sold about 2 20 3 points net
lower right after the call. Buying by
houses with Liverpool connections was
much less active than recently, but II
helped 20 absorb these scattered offer
ings, and the market steadied later on
covering and a little buying from trade
sources. Talk of less favorable weather
in some Central and Gulf sections
where heavy rains and high winds oc-
Cured may possibly have led TO some
covering, but, generally speaking,
weather conditions were considered IA
vcrable over by far the greater part OF
the belt. People around the ring were
inclined TO attribute the bulge TO the
stronger technical position or the scare
ity Of contracts. Closing prices were
within or 3 points OF the best.
Mill interests are said to have bought
contracts here against forward require
ments during the advance OF last month.
but with the goods market now less ac-
tive so far as fresh business is con
cerned, Il is supposed that further buy
ing for that account will be held on
until it is possible to get better view
Of the new crop prospect. No hedge
selling was reported during the day
and the small offerings encountered on
/ the afternoon advance was supposed 10
! indicate that the scattering long inter
est had been pretty well liquidsted on
the declines OF last week.
Recent reports OF an easier tone In
the ocean freight market were followed
late yesterday by reports that room for
about 1000 bales had been booked from
New York TO Liverpool at sl.75 a hun
bred, compared with the recent quota
ton of 81. Exports yesterday were
only 1905 bales, making 5,039,5s9 SO
far this season. Southern spot mar
kets "a officially reported were u

little new buying on the break. but as a rule
the demand came principally from shorts.
The downward trend Of. valeus Is based
largely on the poor spot demand here and
the near approach Of the new season in

The wheat market was moderately active

opening prices developed frmness and at the
close were 2G2Ac net higher. Shorts were
good buyers and considerable attention was
given TO renewed complaints regarding the
winter wheat crop outlook. What really
took place. however. was that prices regained
In Chicago what they had lost last Friday
under aggressive liquidation prompted by the
first reports OF the big naval battle I'm the
North Sea. The technical position Of the
market was doubtless frmer. and IL was
thought that a reaction was only natural
after a perpendicular drop OF sgloc q

The Liverpool market was weak and APP

was feared that the loss of Lord Kitchener
might have a disconcerting influence on SEN

since early May-cash reserves of the
Clearing House banks have fallen
steadily. development which has been
responsible for the stiffening tendency
Of money rates. Yesterday the solu-
ton Of tho mystery that has been puz-
zling the Street was found when it was
learned that J. 2. Morgan & Co, who
have been importing the gold on Brit

IL over 20 the Federal Reserve Bank.
In this way the gold has been disposed
Of without showing in the weekly state

On the other hand, the taking Of the
gold by the Federal Reserve Bank ap-
parently explains in part the recent
increase IN the systems gold re-
serves. At the end Of the week Of May
5 last, just preceding the first Of the
Canadian gold shipments. the combined
reserves of the twelve Federal Reserve
banks stood at S306,597, 900. On May
10 this item had risen TO S326,60S, 900,

Protecting Our Gold Store.

Ever since the system became opera
tive, and before, for that matter, lead
ng banking authorities have laid stress
on the Importance Of the requirement of
large gold holdings by the Federal Re-
serve banks as a step toward the protec-
lion of our supply. Bankers have insisted
that, with the Federal Reserve banks
exercising control over a large part of
our gold. the expected outflow Of the
metal after the war is over will be kept
within reasonable bounds. J. +. Roven-
sky, vice-president of the National
Bank of Commerce, In the course of an
address delivered not long ago paid
particular attention TO this, pointing
out ut is desirable that as a precau-
tionary measure this country should
have an adequate fund Of gold under
the control Of an institution that is
actuated not by a desire TO make prof
its. but by an aim to promote the pub
Tic welfare" at is improbable" he
said, chat any upheaval approaching
our experience of August, 1914, viii be
repeated during this generation, but
the close of the war will cause a golden
stream 20 turn eastward, and If we are
prepared IL will not then be necessary
that a gold fund committee be organ
lied We shall have instead strong
central banking organization, with ade-
quate means and tested machinery at
is disposal and the gold will go out
