The banking community holds
steadily TO the middle ground Of con-
servatism in making new commit
nients. While this attitude caused
no pronounced rise in money rates
last week, the tone Of the general
market is, nevertheless, in striking
contrast with the ease that prevailed
shortly after the turn Of the year.
II is fact that rates for the longer
r,aturities are really strong, COM
pared with the level prevalent during
the last year or more, but this has not
proved much OF burden on borrow
err, for the reason that the latter,
TOO, are watching Washington and

a controlling factor in the local
money market is the prospect of a
United States government loan.
War or no war, there will have to be
government bond issue in some
form or other. The present state of
the Treasury furnishes convincing
proof of that. The revenue measure
now before Congress provides for
bond issues, not only to meet the ex-
ceptional OUTLAWS Of the government
under the preparedness measure, but
also to tide the government over
until the income and corporation
taxes come in at the end of the fiscal
year.

Canadian principals are factors
which will continue to work greatly
to the advantage of the United
States.

The London market is being
watched closely at the moment.
With the successful completion of
the new sterling war loan, the neces-
sity of maintaining arbitrarily an
easy English money position has OBJ
viously been diminished. For this
reason it would not be surprising if
rates should work higher on the
ether side. This would permit rates
here to go somewhat above current
levels without danger of a with
drawal of American balances in Lon
don, which are at present estimated
in excess of S150,000,000.

Current Comment

We are inclined to believe that the
New York bankers have diagnosed the
situation more accurately than have
the spectators in either the security
or the commodity market. The factors
tending toward greater shortage OF
commodities and higher prices would
undoubtedly produce a very stiff rise
in such prices if they were brought
into a normal market. Even at the
present inflated condition they will be
strong influence to produce tenn
porary increases in quotations and to
strengthen the view of producers who
were inclined to make concessions. On
the other hand, the view Of the present
| dir matte situation and of the posi-
bility Of war, which considers only the
opening of another great treasury for
war profits, is an extremely short
sighted one. We have no doubt Of the
| ability of the United States govern
ment to borrow money practically
without limit, but one who wishes to
get a real judgment Of the present
| situation must consider that whatever
war profits are made must come either
| directly out of his pockets and the
| pockets OF his customers as extraor-
binary taxes or else must be raised
through the competition Of the gov
! eminent as n borrower from banks and
investors. To the direct producers of
was material this will bring more
profit than loss.-Jamss H. Brookmire.
While every producing locality Of the
world has experienced conditions pc
cular TO itself, there are two almost
universal factors that are responsible
| for this result-frst, a decreased pro-
duction due TO the shortage OF labor
and 10 the draining of Of farm labor
and to the recruiting or by the greater
needs OF industry, and, second, q
greatly enhanced rate of consumption
brought about by the exigencies and
waste Of war and by the larger pur-
chasing power OF the prosperous neu.
trail world. A repetition Of the short
1916 harvests Of the world would be
nothing less than q catastrophe. a. the

LONDON, Oct 31.-There are now
about 100000 women employed on
munitions work in this country as

The war Office is calling for about
$1,000 women month for service at

BRITISH TEACHING
AMERICAN SOLDIERS

LONDON, Oct. 31.-Several detach-
ments of American soldiers in train
ing for aviation work are now located
at aerOdromes within the confines OF
Greater London, and are seen during
their leisure hours sightseeing about
the city, or doing their shopping along
Regent street, Bond street, or in the
shops around Oxford circus.
To the British eye, the notable diff
ference between the Americans in
training and the British squads along
side them, is a somewhat more demo-
cratic flavor in the American ranks.
/ In one American camp, the spirit Of
government is carried so far that
