Realization of these facts began
TO exercise a strong influence on the
market after the first half hour Of
trading. and there was a sudden IN
fux of buying orders. Those VINO

change their position and repurchase

Wednesday, AprN Is, 1911
For a time it seemed that the stock
market would make no more re-
sponse to the remarkable quarterly
statement Of the Steel Corporation,
accompanied by the distribution OF
3 per cent extra on the common
stock. than it has to the many larger
developments since America entered
the war. But the Steel report was
concrete and within the understand
ing of everybody, whereas the effects
Of such things as five billion dollar
loans and new tax programmes on
stock values cannot be calculated
and after some hesitation the mar
ket did respond.
The quarters surplus for Steel
common, after the payment OF the
REGULAR dividend, was about $50
coo. 900, or nearly II per cent. mat
is at the rate of GS per cent for the
wear. But Judge Gary sald that the
volume Of business is undrmlnlshed
and that prices arc tending toward
still higher levels, all of which IS
confirmed by current statistics and
reports; also, unification Of the rail-
roads and improving weather tend
to lessen transportation difficulties
which have kept earnings from
reaching still higher levels. There
fore. it would not be surprising il
the Steel Corporation should make
an even better showing for the year
than is indicated by the returns for
the first quarter; and only a reIa-
lively small part Of the corporation S
enormous earnings would be taken
from it by the excess profits pro
posed by Secretary McAdoo.

can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling for $475h, the intrinsic par
ity is S4.S6ss per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds arc at dis

in England the demand for dollars

this country for pounds with which to

The amount Of new capital raised
in the English market during the
/ first quarter Of 1916 was eS25, 925,-
zoo, or G14O,683, 500 more than was
ever raised in that market in any

the new money subscribed during the
period TO the great war loan. In
fact, new financing consisted almost
wholly Of British government Dor
rowings, which reached 1926, AIR.
sal. The figures are more interest
ing for what they don't include. In
the first quarter of 1914, when war
was not a factor in the money mar
kets, nearly G1OO,00O,000 of new cap
ital was raised in Great Britain by
private borrowers. In the quarter
ended with March 81 last company
borrowings, under the strict control
exercised by the Treasury, totalled
less than 100000, and it is signif-
cant that a large part, if not the
whole, of this sum, was obtained by
companies whose activities are close
~ related TO the war. Aside from
the government, there were only four
classes of borrowers. The South
Australian government got G83,226;
manufacturing companies, 100000;
electric lighting and power COM
panies, 100000, and motor traction
ard manufacturing companies, $780,
All. All other borrowers, including
railroads, mining, rubber, oil, ship
ping and banking companies, which
usually get large sums, were shut
out of the market entirely. Fortu-
nately, the credit situation in this
country is so strong, and, under the
Federal Reserve system, so elastic,
that there is little, if any, danger
