We shall invite several disinterest-
ed good roads men to accompany us
and we hope to reach a unanimous de-
cision We shall have fastened to our
official car a grade finder, that will
tell us the grade we are going over
as we travel. No matter what speed
we are moving, we will know the per-
centage of grade we are on. The judg-
es will be the president and four vice
presidents for our association. The
vice president, in his own state, how
ever, will have no vote. All who wish
to accompany us are invited to do so.
Completion of the roads seeking our
acceptance and mark. and a prompt
decision, is important, as eastern pa
pers in news items and illustrations
are calling the attention of millions
of readers to the early completion Of
our great highway When spring and
summer comes, tens Of thousands will
be inquiring and trying us OUT" and
we have the opportunity to give evil
dence that we of the southwest are an
enterprising people. To be ready will
be much to our credit. To not be
ready will be to our discredit.
It is our intention to not permit of
delay There will be no waiting on
people to wake up and 'pull them
selves together" at some distant day
We viii appreciate and recognize only
those who by their work, show. that
they appreciate what this great ma
tional highway means.

Steel Trade Anxious for
Action on Price Schedule

1.-THE Iron Age" this week states
that the Presidents announcement Of
a 81 base on bituminous coal instead
of the concession Of a SO price made
by the operators is no surprise and
does not furnish the key to the vastly
more complicated problem Of steel
prices. The prediction is made that
coke prices will be fixed in line with
coal, but as the fixing Of low price
for coke will not increase the supply
and may lessen it, the effect on the pig
iron market is yet to be determined.
1t is pointed out, however, that cheaper
coal will mean lower cost in melting
and heating operations at steel works.
and hence some revision Of cost sheets
now in the hands Of he government.
This publication adds:
While the steel trade waits for the gov
eminent TO decide what II will pay for
muniton and ship steel. and expects that
decision soon. the situation as 20 prices OF
steel for the Allies and the public Is in no
respect clearer. The governments advis-

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange.

Further weakness in the quotation
for lire caused much surprise among
foreign exchange brokers yesterday, as
there have been no developments to
suggest any good reason why the rate
of exchange on Italy should decline at
this time. On the contrary, the re-
ports of recent successes of the ltal-
ian army, it was contended, might have
been expected to produce better feel
ing in the market. A representative
Of one of the leading Italian banks
stated that the cause of the weakness
was probably due TO the fact that i'm
porters in Italy were endeavoring to
secure sufficient dollar credits TO meet
bills drawn against cotton shipments.
The latter, he explained, was the only
commodity the importation of which is
not controlled by the Italian govern
ment that would require financing on
a scale large enough to cause any de-
cided movement in the exchange rates,
such as has taken place this week.
No change of consequence was noted
in rates of exchange on other coun-
tries, the volume of transactions, as
whole, being small.
Closing rates yesterday, compared
with week ago, are given in the table
below. American bankers have sus-
pended all dealings in German and
Austrian exchange, so that daily quota
tions for either marks or kronen are
no longer available.

Relevant Facts

Aetna OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES b. Odell
and George c. Holt, receivers for this
company, have issued a report to share
holders announcing what has been ac-
complished since the receivers appoint
ment on April 10. Noting that profits
from operation of the company under
the old management from January 70
April 10, 1917, amounted to S236,252,
and under the receivers management
from April 20 to July 81 totalled ST.
64S,056, the report states that on tax
ing charge OF the company the receivers
found unsatisfactory conditions both at
the plants and in the organization.
Lack of working capital entailed ex-
cessive charges for interest, demurrage,
etc., and caused shortage in raw ma
terials, resulting in increased manu-
featuring costs and decreased profits
through decreased sales. Salaries have
been reduced about 5000, 900 year, and
authority has been centralized, bring
ing about cooperation in various de-
partments.
Union Bag & Paper.-The quarterly
report for the three months ended July
81 shows net earnings after repairs.
etc. amounting to sS44,447, compared
with S863,722 for the three months
ended April 80, 1917. Surplus, after al
lowing for depreciation, interest on
bonds and reserve for taxes, was s607,-

quarter.

Loans made to the Allies by the
United States government since this
country entered the war with Germany
have provided the means Of financing
OF purchasing of munitions and sup
plies, but the understanding in bank
ing circles here is that none OF these
funds have, or will be, applied to the
refunding of obligations incurred by
Great Britain or France on direct loans
secured from American bankers prior
to last March.
Bills Are Quickly Taken

Der of the firm of ]. P. Morgan & Co.,
the first offering of s15,000,000 has
been gobbled up like hot cakes" One
explanation for this is that the notes
were put out at 81 per cent interest
rate, which is slightly better than the
rate on most Of the desirable ninety
day paper being offered in the money
market at the present time.
The interest rate on future issues, 1t
is explained, will vary according to the
prevailing state of the money market.
In order to make Treasury bills at
tractive to smaller banks throughout
the country they will be issued in de-
nominations as small as $4,000 and
$4,000. While not available for re-
discounting at the Federal Reserve
banks, it is understood they will be
accepted by the Treasury Department
as security for government loans.
By limiting the amount to be issue
in any one week to sl5,OOO,ooO, the
bankers say, there will be no difficulty
in taking care Of the maturing bills
once they begin to fall due.
