New York, Aug. i6-Anot.i day
Of inactivity left standard g.. Aes In
Wall street only slightly cha "a.
and few specialties hls..er.
Hide and Leather and General Gi-
gars made new top prices for this
movement Mexican Petroleum was
strong. The first Liberty Loan sold
at new high for the year at 1919.
There was more talk of large sums
TO be withdrawn from the banks
by the Government. but the real in
fuences were the lull on the bat
tie front. the uncertain weather In
the corn belt and a desire 20 have
the exact terms of the new revenue
bill before making market commit
ments.
The New York stock exchanges
enlivened the street by striking
General Motors from the clearing
house list This does not prevent
trading in stock, but does compel
brokers to clear in-the old-fsshioned
way from house 70 house. 1t is ac-
cepted as a hint that the corner in
the stock is displeasing 20 the ex-
changes. This raises a Fundamental
question as 20 the rights OF dorni-
nant stock holders to protect a COM
pany from assaults Of professional
traders.
Pool I'm General Motors.
Readers OF this column viii re-
member several months ago when
announcement was made that insid-
ers Of General Motors had formed
a pool and given public notice 20
Wall street that unfair attacks on the
stock could no longer be made with
impunity. Traders were warned not
to sell the stock unless sure they
could make delivery. The insiders
took this action because of attacks not
only in the market. but in news
papers where the idea was being
Grated that the company was in
financial distress. The corner has
resulted and some OF the favorite
pets OF Wall street have been ser-
iously hurt
Proposed withdrawal OF large sums
OF money from the New York banks
by the government is causing unneces-
sary alarm. The government has no
idea Of burning the money up. 1t will
be spent for war purposes and will re-
main in some banks somewhere, even
though not all in New York. The big
fact in regard TO money is that cur
rency is increasing at the rate OF from
81. 10000 to $50 0ODo.O0e a week.
There is plenty of money even for
stock trading II borrowers are willing
to pay what IL is worth. But the
strongest corporations in the country,
paying anything from Z TO 10 per cent
for money. and with standard securi-
ties yielding Investment returns Of
to IS per cent Wall Street traders are
wanting money at from to per
cent They will not get It A general
movement to charge per cent for
speculative money would bring out an
abundant supply.
Mexican Petroleum strong.
Strength of Mexican Petroleum was
due to a belief that the United States
government would compel CarTanza To
modify his recent stand IN connection
with oil land taxes. Those taxes are
considered by all business men to be
confscatory.
The additional conference granted
TO automobile men at Washington in
regard to the restriction of the cut
put OF passenger cars gave the auto

THE RATE.

WASHINGTON, Sept 11.-iPart ex-
emption of income on liberty bonds
from surtaxes was recommended yes
terday by Secretary McAdoo as a nee
essary means of stabilizing the mar
ket price of these bonds without rails
ing the interest rate on them. In a
letter to Chairman Kitehin of the
House ways and means committee Mr..
McAdoo urged that Congress act on
this suggestion before the opening OF
the fourth liberty loan campaign on
September IS, and to make the ex-
emption applicable to limited
amount of bonds OF the second and
third loans and to converted bonds of
the first loans. Mr.. McAdoo did not
suggest the extent to which this ex-
emption should be applied.
If the high surfaces contemplated
in the pending revenue bill are ap-
piled fatty to income from liberty
bonds, Mr. McAdoo intimated that it
will be necessary to raise the interest
rate above 4 IL per cent in order
to avoid further depression of the
market price Of the bonds below par.
