$148, 100000 of
British Gold Notes
Retired at Profit
Funds Provided by the Sale
of American Securities
Held as Collateral

or the $500, 100000 secured god
notes Of the United Kingdom Of Great
Britain and ireland, maturing serially
between 1918 and 1921, the records OF
the New York Stock Exchange show
that se53,194,000 are still listed, indi'
eating that approximately s14S,Oo0,oOO
have been retired. The notes were re-
tired through the sale Of collateral
which had a market value CT l2O PEI
cent of the total Of the loans.
The notes were retired at levels con-
siderably below the prices at which
they we're Issued, thus making the
operation profitable for the British gov
crnment, because if paid of at matu-
rity the holder would get par for his
notes.
Owing 10 the lack in this country OF
q market for those securities that are
not listed on the Stock Exchange, it is
stated that the funds to retire the
notes were raised chiefly through the
sale of the American collateral.
In addition to the sale OF this col
lateral il is known that there has been
heavy selling in this market of other
American securities shipped here by
Great Britain under its mobilization
scheme. The total held by j. ?. Nor
gan g. Co. as British fiscal agents has
been variously estimated at from ST.
s00, 900 900 to $4,000, 100000.
Redemption of the United Kingdom
notes has been most marked in the first
issue of s25O,OOO,OO0 two-year 8 per
cent notes which mature on September
1, 1918. The amount now listed on the
exchange has been reduced to s149,-
$4,000. OF the $100,000,000 convertible
51a per cent notes maturing in Febru-
airy, next year, s94,020,000 are listed.
Other issues now listed include Sl42,-
1900 of the s150,000,000 convertible
5ls per cent notes, maturing in Febru-
/, 1919; sl32,S56,OOO Of the sl50,0O0, 900
three-year 55 per cent notes. maturing
November /, 1919, and $685. 900 OF
the s15O,OOO,OO0 five-year 5is per cent
notes, maturing November l. 1921.
The collateral behind these notes was
divided into three groups. Group 1
consisted Of the stocks, bonds and
other securities of corporations organ
lied in the United States. Group 2 was
made up of bonds and other obliga-
lions of the Canadian government, and
Of the stocks, bonds and notes Of the
Canadian Pacific Railway. Group 3
consisted of the obligations Of the gov
ernments of Chile, Norway, Sweden,
Denmark. Switzerland and Holland.
The collaterally secured French loans
placed in this market before the United
States entered the war show no changes
in the amounts originally listed.

Large Quantities
OF Iron and Steel
Awaiting Export
Increase Shown in Average
Pig Iron Production in
November

Efforts Of the government to restore
capacity production In the iron and
steel industry are beginning 10 bear
fruit, according TO "The Iron Trade
Review" This authority says that
tension from coke shortage has ceased
somewhat, although many blast fur
naces are still banked. The Steel Cor
pertain is operating at not over So per
cent OF ingot capacity. Traffic con-
ditions under the pooling system are
said to be gradually emerging from
the hopeless confusion Of few weeks
ago. 1t Is estimated that l,325,000
tons OF iron and steel now await over
seas transportation.
Pig iron statistics for the month Of
November, as compiled by "The Iron
Age" show slight increase in the
daily rate Of production. For the
thirty days the total output was $685.
794 tons, or 1O6,S59 tons a day, against
3,3o3,O3s tons in October. or 1O6,55O
tons day.
Additional furnaces went cut Of
commission in November, according 70
Tho Iron Age" which says:
$50 many furnaces have been work
ing badly, due TO frequent bankings
and in part to poor coke, that more
are compelled TO go out for refining
The net loss was ten in November, and
the 345 furnaces active Dec. l had a
capacity of 1o6,933 tons day, against
io9.O59 tons day for $50 furnaces
on November I. November just wiped
out the October gain Of ten IN active
stacks.
"Pig iron consumers are buying for
next year in way indicating that they
expect difficulty in getting sufficient
metal. The scarcity Of iron for early
delivery is growing more acute, and
but for the agreement with the gov
ornment the spot market would doubt
less be we'll above the sos point at
which the September agreement found
Il. Many furnaces arc sold up Tor the
the first half and are now selling only
for third quarter or second half.
Urgent inquiry for basic iron IN lots
OF 10000 tons and more has appeared
in the East and Middle West.
"Railroad difficulties continue the
most serious handicap Of blast fur
naces and steel works. The Houngs-
town situation il better, but Pitts
burph is now affected more than in No
yember By lack of coke. and there and
in Ohio the steel Corporation to-day
has twenty furnaces banked. steel
output has been kept Up heretofore by
drawing on pig iron stocks, but now
the reserve Of pig iron has been used
up"

Speculation Made
Easy for Japanese
Toxic Stock Exchange Permits
Trading in One Share
Units

In Japan, especially Toxic, the pup
, lie in the last few years has become
strongly imbued with the idea OF spec
u!ating, and, according TO a report
from A. W. Ferren, American CONNER
cial agent. as the unit of trading on
the Toxic exchange is one share and
some shares sell as low as 20 yen, or
about $40, even the jinriksha coo!ie
may speculate.
The small unit Of trading on the
stock exchange makes it quite unnec-
essary for the man with little money
but strong speculative instinct 70
patronize bucket shops" and the lat
ter consequently have practically been
eliminated.
The Toxic exchange, Mr.. Ferrin
writes, is an incorporated company,
and its shares, which are widely held
by the Japanese public, are the most
active OF all the securities on the
floor OF the exchange itself. The cap
ital of the exchange is 12.000.000 yen,
divided into shares Of so yen cash.
It's business is managed like that Of
any other company. by regularly elect
ed officers and q board of directors,
but IL is subject 20 rather more scru-
tiny by the government authorities
than ar other corporations. General
meetings of its stockholders are held
twice a year, in January and June,
and ANYBODY with SEQ yen in his
pocket can become a stakeholder, that
being the recent average price of a
share in the open market. Its opera
lions cannot be carried on with as
much secrecy as those Of the New
York Stock Exchange, which is vol
untsry association OF brokers.
The explanation for the quotation
for the exchange shares being six
times their par value is that the eN-
change collects commission on every
trade made within its walls, and the
aggregate of commissions collected
during the year, after paying all eX-
penses OF the exchange, enable it TO
declare 80 per cent dividends.
The broker gets a commission which
is big enough to remunerate him and
also 10 pay what is due the exchange.
There is no fixed commission for all
transactions, as In America (onc-
eighth Of I per cent in New York;,
but instead a sliding scale. The
charge per share lessons as the total
value OF the transaction increa 3es.
These charges, however, are published
in an official sheet, SO that the Gus
toner always knows just what the
broker can charge and how much of
what the customer pays goes TO the
exchange.

Wall Streets judgment Of news,
as expressed in stock prices, neces-
sarily is hasty and is often at fault,
but its Interpretation Of the recon-
mendations Of the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission appears TO lie
sound. The railroads, under the di-
rection Of the War Board, have
made a remarkable record in eff
cheney since the United States en-
tered the war, but it has become OBJ
vious that the situation has been
going from bad TO worse in spite OF
an their efforts, and that complete
coordination is necessary to ensure
the movement Of essential freight.
The railroads have already made n
start in that direction by partially
pooling facilities Of the roads in
Eastern territory. The commission
merely urges that legislation be en-
acted which would make uniiication
of the whole transportation system
legally possible, or, that failing, that
the government take over and OPP
crate the railroads for the duration
of the war. There should be nothing
alarming TO the holders Of railroad
stocks in either of these proposals.

concomitant that in the event the
former plan is put in operation the
roads should be granted financial as

should the alternative be adopted, 1t
