BEARS ASSUME CONTROL
AFTER EARLY ADVANCES

NEW YORK. July 13-Gains exceed
ed declines in the initial trading in the
stock market with sentiment badly
mixed. some very buliish opinions
meeting with equally bearish senti-
ment although the former seems to be
the most dominant in directing the
movement in prices.
The price-f1Xing activities OF the gov
ernment: the argument that the pub
lie must be treated on the same scale
as the government. and the promise
of serious reductions in profit as an
unavoidable incident to this theory have
created considerable pessimism and
firmly placed number of prominent
traders on the bear side.
They freely express their opinions
and meet with just as pronounced views
from the bulls. who consider present
prices too cheap for the dividends that
are being earned.
As the session wore on he bears seemed
10 have the better OF the argument. their
theory winning more favor. and with the
change in sentiment heavy selling was
inaugurated. with heavy losses throughout
the industrial list. extending to about ?
points the average, while some losses
were more serious.

TREASURY DRAWS ON THE|
LIBERTY LOAN FUNDS|
BY I. A. FLEMING.

Just prior to the flotation OF the lib
erty loan bonds the Treasury Depart
ment issued something over $1.ooO.ooo.-
Geo Treasury certificates. convertible
into liberty bonds. These certihcates
were paid for by the banks in full on
issue.
This would leave something less than
1000. 100000 proceeds of the liberty
loan remaining in the banks Two
calls have been made on these funds
and fully so per cent has been with
drawn from the banks. This would IN,
dictate that about 550o.0O0,O0o remained
in the banks.
Local bankers expect that Treasury
certificates will again be issued IN
large amounts not later than the MID
die of August. a forerunner or nono
announcement which probably VIII be
made in the very early fall with inlt1al
payments in october.
