MUNICIPAL BONDS MORE POPULAR:
TAX EXEMPTION HELPFUL FACTOR
Large Funds Available for Investment For
eign Offerings in Next Few Months Pennsylvania
Railroads Loaded Car Movements Larger

Bond men are drawing attention to the
fact that municipal bonds have grown
materially in popularity with the investing
public during the last year OF so--in fact
since the passage of the income tax by
the Wilson administration Municipal bonds
are exempt from tax, and ns result many
persons have invested large sums of money
In them A striking instance Is the fact
that the last Issue Of New York State
bonds was taken by two or three persons
for investment.
While It is true that large amounts Of
foreign bonds have been offered in the
American market at a much better interest
return than American stock or bonds,
there is a leaning to the municipal bond.
That there are large funds available for
investment is shown by the rapidity with
which the $3.50 100000 per cent British
loan was foated.
Another interesting factor in the general
situation. bondmen point out is the fact
that foreign bond issues are being received
with greater favor Prominent bankers pre-
dict that as time goes on still greater
progress will be made in this direction
During the next several months there will
be additional offerings of foreign issues.
One of the first, 1t is understood, will be

tails have not yet been arranged, however,
Several South American countries are also
endeavoring to borrow money IN the United
states and II is regarded az likely that
something will be accomplished along these
lines before the end Of this year.
Movements of loaded cars past 10 iunc-
tlon points of the Pennsylvania Railroad
continue to show UP well as compared with
last year. For the month OF August the
total was 76,602. This compares with
914.998 In 1915, an increase OF 63.7f9 cars.
The daily average was 31,5Os, compared
with 2s,51e in August last year, a gain Of
1887, or ca per cent

change In the two-hour session today was
confined to a few issues, and the trading
done in them was very small. Irregular
price movements were the rule, but the
trend was inclined to be to higher levels
than to lower points.

CHICAGO, Sept. "A continued goot
demand for September wheat was quoted
at the opening this morning, that optior
starting with an advance of two cents
ranging from s1.4S@1.42%. December
was one cent higher at $146@1.45 ant
May was up sc at $1.48@1.47, The latter
options, after the first few minutes of trad
ing. advanced nc for December and sc fol
May, while September fell to the early level
There was fair demand from commission
houses and fair buying from other sources
Apparently the trade was disposed to take
a more bullsh view of the strike situation
as the news from Washington pointed con-
clusively to the passage of the eight-houT
law.
Balkan situation was considered an un-
settling factor, which may become effective
at almost any time. and for this reason
traders were disposed to be conservative.
The receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth
today were 37G cars. against $50 cars a
year ago at Winnipeg 305 cars. compared
with 3S2 cars; at Chicago 81 cars, con-
trasted with 374 cars.
Corn was only fairly steady for the
September position. which opened un-
changed and then declined hc. Other
options were fairly firm. There was a little
pressure in September, but the demand for
the later months was fair. The receipts
here today were 1s8 cars.
Statements that about 100000 bushels
OF oats had been sold fon export Friday
caused a fairly firm tone at the opening
this morning, and prices were h a &c
higher after the start. There was a good
scattered demand. The receipts here today
were 412 cars.

Banks Make Chances

Forty state banks have been force. to file amendments to their articles z, incorporation with the State Bank ns partment since January 1, because ., strict rules adopted by the departman. State Bank Commissioner John M na wis said. The new rule requires that all banks follow precisely their articles of incorporation. If their incorpofa. tion papers call for Board of Direc- tors of 10 members they must hav. that many. The minimum number ot directors is three. MT. Davis uled that if the banks do not have the direc. tors named, they must amend their in. corporation papers. Many other banks have amended their charters because of another ruling which prohih,ts banks, having a capital stock of less than 1000, using the title "trust company"

MONEY WILL BE USED IN BUILD ING HIGHWAYS OUT OF
 TExARKANA.
BOUGHT BY LOCAL CONCERNS
Injunction Proceedings Were Filed 70 Stay Building of Roads, But It Is Believed This Action Will Only
 Result in Serious Delay.
Texarkana..

1eAdTkdHd.- The commissioners of the Miller County bridge and highway improve ment district sold at auction $233,000 worth of road bonds at 98.65 The Mer- chants and Planters Bank and the Texarkana Savings and Trust Com pany, both local concerns, were the purchasers.
 The bonds run serially for 15 years and bear five per cent interest. The money will be used for the construc- tion of 50 miles of good roads radiat, ing out of Texarkana to points east and southeast, one of the lines to cross Red River near Fulton and con- meet with other good roads to Hope and Little Rock.
 During the day injunction proceed ings were filed to stay the building of the roads, but it is not believed this action will result in anything more se- rious than a little possible delay.

Authorizes Vouchers.

Governor Hays issued deficiency proclamations authorizing the State Highways Commissions to issue voucn- CTS On the state highway fund for S2,- 500 to pay incidental expenses and authorizing State Treasurer R. c. Nc Daniel to issue vouchers for $1,000 on the general revenue fund to pay for printing for his office. The printing appropriation for the treasurer's office was vetoed by the governor.
 The proclamation to the highways commission makes total of $7,500 au- thorized more than the amount the legislature appropriated. This expen- diture was made necessary by the in- creased amount of surveys required since the Alexander road law went into effect. Under the recent interpr-- tation of the law Dy the Supreme Court all plans and estimates for dis tricts organized under the Alexander law must in future be prepared by the commission.
 This has made necessary a large increase in the commissions force of engineers w. B. Owen, chairman of the commission, says his department has prepared surveys for more than 2,000 miles of road at cost of be tween $15 and $20 per mile.
