fund other bonds.
Up to the time when the INTERIOR
ough, after negotiations extending over

work were completed.

PRICE OF RAILS
BOOSTED SIS A TON
Needs of Railroads Are
Partially Covered for
the Coming Year

Z. q. Gary. chairman. announced
ysstsrday that The subhdisriss Of tho
United statss Steel Corporation have
advanced prices Of standard rails 81
a ton, to take efscs immediately.
This will make tho price Of open
hearth rails $40 per gross ton and
Bessemer rails sSs a ton. Angle bar,
have also been increased IS a ton.
The independent producers Of steel
rails, including the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, the Midvale Steel and
Ordnance Company and the Lacka-
wanna Steel Company, are expected to
follow Immediately the action TAKEN
by the United States Steel Corpora
ton.
The advances announced yesterday
by Mr.. Gary had been expected in the
trade, but the mills have been so
heavily oversold that there has been
little opportunity for the railroads to
cover their needs at the prices previ-
ously quoted. However, the railroads
bought heavily prior to the advance Of
IS ton, which took effect on May
last. During that period, IL Is e5ti-
mated, rail mills had booked orders for
$4,000 tons, more than half the an
nual capacity Of the country. Subse-
quent sales have amounted to over
100000 tons for 1916 and 1917 ship
ment.
In steel circles the opinion was ex-
pressed that tho present advance will
have a tendency to curtail orders tent
porarily, although with the current
enormous demand for steel products
Of all descriptions even higher prices
are expected. owing to the heavy war
demands from Europe.

70 which we must look for the future
growth OF our exports.
Some Of the particulars are very
interesting. In two years our ex-
ports TO South America, Asia, Africa
and Oceania combined have increased
only Sl22. 100000. which is no more
than exports should have increased
in those directions under normal con-
ditions. During the year now closing
we have exported to the whole world
only 55O,OOO,00O yards of cotton
piece goods, whereas Great Britain,
in a state of war, buying raw cot
ton from the United States, has ex-
ported cotton piece goods at the rate
of 500,OOO,000 yards a month. We
have not seriously sought to gain a
new position in the worlds markets
for cotton fabrics because it has been
more profitable to sell war goods to
the belligerents. We have not sought
to place our credit In countries whose
custom in the future would DO some
thing solid TO build upon, because 1t
has been more profitable to place It
in the hands Of customers who are
willing to pay fabulous prices for
war goods We have q lot to learn
about trade. We have yet to Decome
traders.

ROCK ISLAND SUIT
SETTLED, IS REPORT
Reorganization Plan Said to
Contain Such Provision

Wall Street read into the reorgan-
ization plan Of the Chicago, Rock
Island G. Pacific Railway Company, is-
sued in detail yesterday. provision
for settlement of the s7,5O0,o0O suit
brought against the so-called Reid
Moore directors at the instigation OF
the stockholders committee, Of which
n. I. Amster Is chairman. 10 was even
rumored that the litigation had al
ready been adjudicated.
That feature Of the plan which may
bring the former managers Of the road
again into harmony with the new in
terests Is the provision that the joint
reorganization committee may increase
the authorized amount Of preferred
stocks by s15,0O0000. It was the un-
Outstanding of the Street that $4,000
900 Of this additional stock may be
paid for at par in consideration Of a
settlement OF the suit against the
former directors on account Of losses
incurred in purchases and sales OF
properties in the past.
In this event the estimated cash
balance left for the new company
after all expenses are deducted from
tho $50, 100000 to be raised by $40
a share assessment would be about
s1s,ooO,0o0. This would come close TO
providing all the money the company
could spend in two years on tho prop
erty, outside Of the purchases OF
equipment
Tho committee representing the re-
funding bonds, which are not affected
By the plan. has not yet determined
what action II may take. Charles A.
Peabody, chairman, said yesterday,
however, that so far as he knew there
has been no change in the company's
original intention to secure a fore
closure on their mortgage. This mat
ter is still pending in the courts.

RUSSIA TO SHIP
GOLD HERE FOR
CREDIT BASIS
Direct Consignment of
$1OO,OOO,OO0 Said To
Be Coming Soon

The Russian government, according
TO information received by important
Wall Street banking interests. Is pre-
pairing to ship siOO,OOO,oOo In gold to
the United States in the near future, to
be used as tho basis for new banking
ereditA
The gold. It Is said. will be taken
from tho stock held In tho vaults OF
the Bank OF Russia, which, according
to tho latest report available, now
stands at approximately S775,OOO,OOo.
The understanding is that the Russian
financial authorities will act independ-
emily Of the British In handling the
transaction. This Is taken In some
quarters to mean that Great Britain
is feeling the financial burden Of this
ally, Since the war began England
has advanced approximately $4,000, ooo,-
600 10 all hsr sllisA Of which ens-hah
hsa zone b Russia
Russian bankers, hsving found II
dinacult to negotiate unsecured loans In
the United Etatss at reasonable terms,
have come TO the conclusion, 1. II said,
that 500. 100000 in gold could be utl-
ixee In the United States a. the basis
for four or FIVE times that amount OF
credit and at . fair rate Of interest.
Consequently the Russian government
has been moved to consider seriously
shipping gold direct to this country.
Bankers May Object
What the attitude of the banking
community at large would be to the
importation Of such large amount of
gold is a question. Only recently the
bankers here sent an urgent request
to London asking that shipments Of the
metal be stopped on tho ground that
the continued inflow tended to keep
interest rates at a level so low as to
threaten the impairment Of banking
profits.
Russia has already sent a consider
able amount Of gold to North Amer
lea. Early in the year japanese war
ships carried approximately sSo,oo0,ooo
from Vladivostok to Vancouver, where
the gold was shipped across country to
tho Bank Of England's reserve at OF
tawa. Most Of this gold has since
been shipped to New York.

CANADA TO SHARE IN
BRITISH.ITALIAN TRADE
More of II Will Be Financed by
Dominion Banks

The Canadian Bank Of Commerce,
one Of the largest Of the Dominion's
banking institutions, has acquired an
interest in the Rritish-Italian Corpora
tion, organized for the promotion Of
closer trade relations between Great
Britain and Italy.
John Arid, general manager Of the
bank, In confirming this told "The
Monetary Times" that 1t Is expected
through this new arrangement to OK
tend trade between the two countries
through Canadian channels and to
finance this business through a Ca
madam bank. Canadian Italian trade
in the past, he said, has largely gone
through foreign channels and has been
financed through foreign banks. Can
ada. Al. a result, has not received all
III. benefit it should have and Ca
madam financial institutions practi-
cally none at all.
The British-Italian Corporation was
organized last March. An agreement
was signed in London between the
London County and Westminster
Bank and Lloyds Bank, on one side, as

and the Credito Italiano, on the other
side, as representing an Italian fnan-
