Financial Scheme
Of German Loan
Explained in Paris
Public Authorized to Bor-
row From Loan Fund for
Its Subscriptions
cBy C,bl- 20 Th- Courier les Etats-rnis)

tBy Cable - Th- Courier les Etats-Unis)
PARIS, Oct. 2S.-Apropos the sub
scription 70 the last German loan, the
"Temps" writes: "A great number of
subscriptions have been made by state
purveyors, such as Krupp, the Steel
Syndicate, etc, and these assessments
very likely were not voluntary. The
state has possibly distributed its orders
in proportion to the loans made. In
the same way have the savings banks
and cooperative societies largely con-
tributed TO the success OF the loan. The
amounts which the state spends In
salaries, arrears, dividends will flow
back into their safes in the form of sub
scriptions. The more the state spends
the more money is found to lend IT..
Still. some indications suggest that the
functioning of this engenious mechan-
ism of the Prussian government is get
ting little less sure.
Thus, before the opening or the sub
scription the alienation of untransfer-
able patrimonies In trust had been au-
thorized on the condition that their
price should be employed in buying the
loan.
Another more remarkable schelN
for this loan consisted in authorizing
every individual, even if he should not
own a pfennig, TO subscribe 1000 marks
by borrowing the amount of the sub
scription directly from the loan fund.
This operation profited him one mark
annually.
Despite these tempting offers the
rural population seems not to have been
seduced, and the 'Frankfurter Zeitung'
attributes their GOODNESS TO the pan
Germanist influence.
THE propaganda encountered an
other obstacle. The moneys taken by
the public to the treasury are not only
made up of savings or profits, but also
represent the rolling funds Of enter
prises paralyzed by the war and the
price of all the stocks which Germany
/ cannot reconstruct in kind on account
of the blockade.
Those interested ask themselves
how they can get the money they will
need after the war if they lend il to
! the state. This problem has been ap-
preached by Hayenstein, the president
/ of the Reichsbank. From the very be-
I ginning of the subscription he indi-
Gated two remedies: one by which only
the small subscribers will profit, to the
effect that the Reichsbank will repur-
chase at SO per cent every annuity the
value of which does not exceed | 900
marks of capital. As to the higher
amounts, measures are considered to
meet even very considerable offers of
sale. A purchase organization is
planned. II is surely on this promise
that many Germans have subscribed to
the recent loan
The Temps" says: at is the busi-
ness of the Allies, masters of all the
first materials and all markets, as they
are, to concert among themselves the
necessary measures to be taken against
the realization of Haverstein's project"

Advocates Check
To Non-Essential
Industrial Work
Regulation of Output May
Come, Says Waddill
Catchings

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The recon e
mendation Of the Council Of National
Defence that no now industrial enter
prise should be undertaken at this time
which will not win the war, according
to Waddill Catchings. chairman of the
committee of the Chamber Of Com
merce of the United States, should pre-
pare the minds Of business men for SIM
liar action in regard to the full opera
ton of all those industries not essen
tial to the national defence.
"In the course of time said Mr.
Catchings, mo one need be surprised
if during the war the use of labor and
materials for all unessential purposes
is made impossible by regulation or
statute"
Following is the recommendation in
full, as made by tho Council Of Ma
tional Defence:
Every effort that this country is
capable Of making should be applied TO
bring the war to speedy and success
full conclusion. The resources OF the
country in "a general way may be said
to consist of men, money and material,
and during the period of the war any
new enterprise or undertaking should
be tried and justified By the test: VIII
the men. money and material 50 APP
piled best contribute in this way to the
winning of the war?
New enterprises which are not fun
damental to the efficient operation Of
the country's necessary activities
should not be undertaken. This will
not result adversely upon business or
conditions of employment, because
every man and every resource will be
needed during the war. All effort
should be centred to help win the war
There is no ambiguity about this rec
ommendation, according to the National
Chamber committee. Men who are CON
sidering new enterprises, public i'm
provements. dwellings. factories. in
fact, industrial work of every descrip-
ton, should be guided by the question
of whether or not the undertaking is
to be factor in the victorious con-
clusion of the war. This is the CON
GLIDING message TO the commercial
leaders of the country.

New Market for Shoes
Expand Sales to New Zealand, ,
Commerce Department Says

American shoe manufacturers have il
in their power to increase their sales
in New Zealand, in spite of the prefer
entail tariff that operates against them.
says report just issued by the Blu
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce at Washington. American shoes
are as popular there as in other parts
of the world. and the strongest bid for
patronage that "A retailer can make, il
is pointed out. is TO show in his win
dows shoes marked --latest American
style"
Business obtainable in New Zealand
is we'll worth cultivating, the bureau
states, for the merchants are depend
able class Of careful, conservative shoe
dealers, and the people can afford to
buy tn. higher priced footwear. OF the
100000 worth Of footwear imported
in 1916, only about $4,000 worth came
from this country.
There is little question that American
shoes could hold more important place
in the market, says the government re-
port, if more sales energy were back Of
them. Other shoes are being sold for
fully rs high prices as would have to
be charged for American shoes, grade

Exports of Mineral Oil
Show Large Increase

More mineral oils were exported
from the United States during the fs-
cal year 1917 than ever before, the to-
tai amounting to 2,749,43s,434 gallons,
valued at s23O,953, JAG, according TO fig
ures made public by the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce of the
Department of Commerce. This was
an increase of approximately 100000
900 gallons and 500, 100000 over 1916
and about 470.0O00O gallons and s79,-
100000 over 1914, the last normal year
before the war Only small per-
centage of the total exported was crude
oil.
The war has had the effect Of reduc-
ing the exports of illuminating oil, the
foreign sales for 1917 totalling $780,
l1l,403 gallons. valued at s54, 662 ,094,
against 1,l57 ,2s3,3l0 gallons, valued at
s74,50O,162. in 1914. Exports of gas
and fuel oil. however, have more than
doubled in quantity and value in the
last three years, increasing from AS
143,205 gallons, valued at s13,747,s 1868.
in 1914, to 1,040,67l ,7l3 gallons, valued
at s32,A73,S72, in 1917. The exports of
gasolene and lubricating oils have also
increased substantially.

ment's needs were filled. Since Au-
gust there has been little or no i'm
portant corporate financing, owing
to the fact that the government has
monopolized the capital market.
Now it is expected that many con-
Germs in need of fresh working CAPT
tai will come into the market, and
before the end of the year consld-
cradle amount of short term note is
sues is likely TO be sold. Only such
enterprises as arc necessary to the
successful conduct Of the war will
be permitted to borrow. however.
The Council Of National Defence, at
Washington. has let it be known
that new enterprises which are not
fundamental TO efficient operation
of the country's necessary activities
should not be undertaken. 1t is
pointed out that this will not result
adversely upon business or condi-
tons of employment, because every
man and every resource Will be
needed during the war. In other
words, the fact must be pressed
home that the business of the coun-
try is war, and all energies must be
concentrated along lines that will

How completely the money market
has been dominated by the Liberty
Loan offering in the last week is
shown by the weekly statement of
the New York Clearing House
banks. which disclosed an expansion
of S3OS, 900 in the loan item.
This is a direct reflection of the
banking participation at this centre
in the Liberty Loan. The banks have
loaned heavily to individuals and
corporations in connection with the
loan operation just completed.
Money rates during the week have
been comparatively easy, despite the
demands Of the loan. At the Stock
Exchange call money has been plen-
tiful at 3l2 to 1 per cent, while fixed
date loans against brokers' collateral
have ranged from 5l4 to 6 per cent
unchanged from week ago. Com
mercial paper rates have averaged
around 5l2 per cent. Bankers ex-
pressed the opinion last week that
the money market, has definitely
turned the corner, and apart from
such temporary stiffening of rates
as may come when the periodical
payments on the Liberty Loan sub
scriptions are due, no serious strin-
gency may be expected. One of the
best features Of the situation, as the
bankers see it, is the fact that the
United States government is now
speeding up its financial machinery
and paying more promptly for SER
vices rendered. This means a much
more rapid turnover of credit and
renders unnecessary much of the
borrowing that corporations and
other interests with government or
ders in hand have had to negotiate
while awaiting payment by the gov
eminent. As time goes on it is like
ly the process will be made even
more rapid, thereby relieving TO a
still greater extent the demand on
banking credits.

Monday, October %, 1917

With the country at large alb
sorbed in the task of closing the sec
ond Liberty Loan campaign, not
much could be expected Of. the Sc
curity markets in the week just
ended. The time and energy of a
great portion Of the financial com
munity were given over almost en-
tirely to making the war loan a sue
cess. and in the meantime the course
of security values was of secondary
importance. The stock market as a
whole has been in more or less un-
settled condition throughout the
week-a repetition Of the market of
the week beforc-with frequent
breaks followed by substantial raj
lies. Taken in the average, the lead
ing stocks did little more than hold
their own. Liquidation of investment
holdings of railroads and industrial
shares continued throughout the pc
riod, but not in sufficient volume TO
produce Generalization such as
characterized the dealings fort
night ago. Yet there was sufficient
selling Of this kind to Indicate that
the market is still feeling the effects
Of the adjustment Of prices to the
rising value of capital. Numerous
high grade stocks are now selling at
the lowest levels in two years or
more. Standard railway shares are
quoted in the market at prices which
afford dividend yields ranging from
515 to 8 per cent. Industrial issues
ere selling on a basis of z to 10 per
cent. Recognition Of the fact that so
many shares are selling below their
intrinsic value has brought into the
market considerable demand from
so-called bargain hunters. Bond
prices worked lower again last week
on light offerings, the volume of
business falling to the smallest total
in a long while.
