Status of U. S. Steel Case.

According to the Stock Exchange house
OF Clark, Childs & Co., the status of the
United States Steel case, now in the
Supreme Court of the United States, is
more or less interlocked with those OF
the American Can and the international
Harvester. In letter issued yesterday
they said:
Recently a proposition is understood
10 have been suggested by the At
torney General of the United States. To
the effect that these three cases be
argued together, but no definite action
has yet been taken. The Attorney
General must take initiative or the
first two will remain on calendar in
definitely. At best they could not be
argued before December. and then it
would be full year before the Supreme
Court would give decision. This is inn
portant because Wall Street seems 20 be
under the impression that n decision on
the United States Steel case is pend
ing and may come at any time. IL
suggests that ali three cases may go To
proper commission.

FARM IMPLEMENT
MAKERS BUY STEEL
Seasonal Requirements, 1t Is Re.
ported, Were UndereStimated.

An interesting development in a
phenomenal steel situation is the sound
ing of the bar market by agricultural
implement manufacturers, who pre-
sumably had covered their prospective
requirements up 10 July next year. Not
a few of the agricultural machinery
makers became disgruntled because of
the high prices prevailing for steel
products and, as it now appears, under
estimated their needs.
Heavy contracts for agricultural i'm
plements have recently been placed, one
Southern interest, according TO report,
having ordered five times the amount
OF machinery handled last year. and the
manufacturers have been forced to go
into the market for more material, the
price Of which Is about S. ton higher
than when first contracts for season
tonnages were placed, several weeks
ago.
In the last few days there has been
an exceptionally heavy demand for
small lots Of steel bars from all sec
lions Of the country, and the Cambria
Steel Company has advanced prices SO
per ton, now asking 2.75c, base Pitts
burgh. The Carnegie Steel Company is
still quoting 2.6oc base for shipment at
the convenience Of the mill, but is ex-
pected to announce an advance Of 81 to
SO a ton momentarily.

ROOF FOR THE CURB"
AGAIN ADVOCATED
Reform Plans Not Abandoned,
DESPITE Opposition.

Reorganization plans approved by a
special committee of the New York
Curb Market Association last spring,
the chief feature of which was to place
the outside market under roof, have
not been abandoned. L. R. Mccormick,
chairman of the committee, said yes
terday that the members will meet next
Wednesday to resume active discus
sions of the proposals previously out
lined.
Last May, when it appeared that the
efforts of the curb market representa-
tives to put into effect needed reforms
would meet with success, fifty Stock
Exchange firms came out in open oppo-
sition to the plan, and nothing further
was done to carry out the readjust-
ment.
Wall Street has since been in the dark
as to the reasons for the eleventh hour
opposition from members of the "big
board" 1t is now the intention of the
committe representing the curb market
to have the matter thoroughly aired,
and, if possible, to influence the OBJ
jecting Stock Exchange firms 10 make
public q full explanation of their views.
In addition TO placing the recognized
curb market under 4 roof the reorgan-
izstion plan outlined last spring pro-
vided for two classes of members-reg-
ular and associate. 1t was also recon-
mended that the board Of representa-
tives be increased from fifteen to TWEEN
ty-one members and that the complaint
committee be called the committee on
business conduct"
Mr.. Mccormick said yesterday that
his committee intended to proceed with
its reorganization plans, despite the
fact that the Stock Exchange firms sup
piled the curb brokers with more than
80 per cent Of their business.

BOSTON 9 MAINE
EARNINGS LARGER
Traffic Swelled by Diversion of
Freight from Other Lines.

Boston, Oct. 5.-Announcement that
the Boston e. Maine Railroad would
apply for increased rates of transporta-
ton as a result Of the eight-hour law
was made to-day by James H. Hustis,
president and temporary receiver OF
the road, in his annual report TO the
stockholders. Mr.. Hustis also declared
that failure of the efforts to effect q
financial reorganization" brought about
receivership Of the property.
The financial statement for the fiscal
year ended June 80 last showed an
excess Of liabilities over assets of 81
s95 $40, as compared with sl2,2l7,S56
and s18,472,961 in the two previous re-
ports. Cash in the treasury totalled
sS,960,177, according to the report.
Commenting on a statement of OPP
Grating efficiency, the report stated it
was doubtful whether "this sstisfac-
tory showing in transportation eI-
penses can be maintained because of
increasing cost of fuel and other sup
plies. and higher wages already grant
ed and further adjustments now under
consideration"
Existing schedules of passenger rates
recently revised, do not produce the
expected, if, indeed, they produce any,
substantial increased revenues" he
said. Greater use Of the automobile
continues to have its effect on passen-
ger revenue.
Operation revenues Of s52,075,42
were s5,4O2,379, or 11.6 per cent, more
than last year, and were the greatest
in the history of the railroad, accord
ing to the report. Nearly all of the
increase in revenue came from the
TRANSPORTATION of freight. The UMPIRE
cedented volume of freight traffic and
earnings was due largely to the alb
normal conditions incident to the war
in Europe and TO diverted traffic during
the general freight congestion in East
ern territory.
Passenger revenue was given as $lb,-
O28,317, a decrease Of s743,Ss0. or 81
per cent. Operating expenses Of $780,
1877, 95S increased o.S per cent over last
year. The operating ratio (the per.
centage Of operating revenues taken by
operating eMpenses) was 69.51. as COM
pared with 1894 a year ago.
The railroads freight car equipment
was insufficient, President Hustis re-
ported, to take care Of the unusually
heavy freight traffic Of the last year.
It was necessary. therefore. to use a
large number of freight cars owned by
other railroads.

ASK FOR SHARE IN
WAR ORDER PROFITS
Munitions Contracts Lead to
Court Proceedings.

Suit reported to have been brought
by the Robert Dollar Company, Of Cali
fornia, against the Canadian Car &
Foundry Company in the New York Su-
preme Court seemingly falls in line
with what H. P. Dawson, partner Of
J. P. Morgan, recently said in London
to the effect that profits on war bust
ness had not come up to original calcu-
lations.
The Robert Dollar Company, it is
said, is suing for $4,000 alleged
profits on the Canadian Car e. Foundry
Company's contract with the Russian
government to deliver shrapnel shells
worth more than s3l 100000. The de-
PENDANTS named in the bill of COM
plant, in addition to the Canadian con-
Germ, are it's New York agency and a
group of New York banks, which are
alleged to have acted as depositaries
for the chief defendants funds.
The complaint alleges that the car
company failed to make payments to
the Robert Dollar Company, which
had taken over the contract negotiated
with the Russian government by indi-
viduals named in the bill, but instead
organized the New York agency, which,
it is alleged, is merely a device to
evade compliance with New York
statutes and to disavow the obligations
OF the parent corporation.
The Canadian Car and Foundry Com
pany experienced difficulty with its
Russian shrapnel contract from the
start through lack of working capital.
Because of delays in deliveries and
other troubles President Nathaniel
Curry announced early this year that
an arrangement had been made with
the Russian government by which the
latter was to advance s10,000,O00 on
the funds needed TO carry the work TO
completion. Part of the transaction
was the organization of the New York
agency which took over the handling
of the shrapnel order.
1t was learned yesterday for the
first time that Thomas Fortune Ryan,
the traction magnate, is also a party
to a suit in which the Canadian Car
and Foundry Company was involved
through a sub-contract let to the Com
putting, Recording and Tabulating Com
pany for the manufacture of time
fuses. According to testimony heard
before Judge Shepherd in the United
States Court for the Southern District
of New York, Mr.. Ryan agreed to
finance the contract under an arrange
ment by which W. |. dinner, president
of the Computing and Tabulating con-
Germ, agreed to turn over 40 per cent
of the profits on his stock holdings re-
suting from the completion of the
order Mr.. Ryan, it is said, is suing
for his share of the profits.

BANKING FUNDS
FLOW TOLONDON
Estimated That 100000
600 Has Been Transferred
in the Past Week.

With sterling exchange below the
gold import point and with Great Brit
ain shipping the precious metal IN this
direction in unprecedented volume, a
heavy flow of banking funds from New
York to London at the same time is an
extraordinary development. According
to bankers engaged in the operation, be-
tween $4,000, 900 and s100,000,00O in
banking funds have been transferred
from here to London by cable during
the last week, and the movement is
still under way.
The movement is a result of the diff
ference between interest rates in New
York and London. Bankers here have
found that they can employ their sur
plus funds to more advantage by trans
ferring them to London, where rates
have become much frmer of late.
Money in London commands per cent
or better, whereas here it cannot be
loaned at much more than ga per cent
on Stock Exchange collateral.
Most of the banking funds trans
ferred to London on this movement are
being put into sixty and ninety day
commercial paper in the open market.
Some British Treasury bills have also
been bought.
Since early in the year banks here
have been maintaining substantial bal
ances in London, because they yielded
them more there than on this side, but
only recently has this money been put
out on time. Heretofore most of it has
been loaned subject to immediate call.
Money brokers were of the opinion
Yesterday that if the movement flow Of
funds to London continued at the rate
of the last week it would soon begin to
be reflected in a frmer tone at this
centre.
Probably the most interesting feature
of the movement is the fact that Great
Britain, by virtue OF her huge ship
ments of gold to the United States, has
been instrumental in making it possible
for American bankers to export credit
TO London. Gold increases bank re-
serves, and loan expansion is made
possible.
