British Loan Subscribed.

General financial news OF the day
included the announcement that sub
scriptions to the new British loan equal
the full amount Of that issue, thereby
insuring it's success.
German exchange was slightly reac-
tionary with no material alteration In
other remittances.
The bank statement failed to meet
general expectations of large loss OF

nominal, with a large increase, how
ever. in loans and decrease OF about

The only feature of the irregular
bond market was the heavy selling OF

Weeks Changes Nominal.


Changes in quoted values Of i'm
portant stocks during a week Of dull
and circumscribed operations were
mostly nominal Leaders fuctuated 3
to 3 points. and special issues were
equally irregular. with lower range
toward the end for shippings, motors
and rubbers. Rails Jagged throughout,
total dealings in that division being
the 1ightest for any similar period in
many months. An extra dividend on
Norfolk and Western and the heaviness
Of New Haven were the only features
Of more than passing interest. Local
fractions, particularly Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, were under pressure, but other
utilities were mainly higher.
With the approach Of the quarterly
meeting Of the United States Steel Cor
poration, interest in that stock conferred
on what action the directors would
take on the common stock. In some
quarters 1t was thought that the extra
dividend for the final quarter Of 1916
would be more liberal than the pre-
ceding disbursements. accompanied by
unprecedented earnings.
