Silver Bill Modified
Now Provides for $35O,0OO,.
900 of the Bullion

WASHINGTON, April 1G.~.Aftcr nm
all day meeting the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee late to day
decided to report favorably the silver
bill introduced by Senator Pttman, of
Nevada, after amending SO as to pro-
vide for the withdrawal from the Fed
cral Treasury and melting into bullion
$3.50. 100000 in silver dollars instead Of
$3.50 100000, as originally proposed.
This bullion is TO be used in meeting
foreign trade balances.
Senator Owen, chairman of the COM
mittee, plans to submit the report to-
morrow and ask for its immcdiat con-
sidcration. The bill was approved after
Director of the Mint Baker, Assistant
Secretary Leffingwcll of the Treasury,
Governor Harding Of the Federal Re
serve Board. and Oscar Straus, New
York banker, had appeared before the
committee and urged prompt action as
a war measure.
The bin provides that as the silver
dollars arc withdrawn from the Treas
ury the Secretary shall also withdraw
an equal amount Of certificates. to be
replaced by Federal Reserve banknotes.
TO replace silver dollars the Director
Of the Mint would be authorized to
purchase silver at the rate Of 81 an
ounce, which, supporters of the bill
declare, will have the effect Of stabil-
izing the silver market as we'll as stm.
ulating production.

Relevant Comment
Weather Hurts Coal Shipments

Distribution Of anthracite last week,
according to "Thc Coal Trade Journal"
received setback as a result Of the
recurrence Of cold and stormy weather.
This unexpected turn in climatic condl-
tions, it was pointed out. was accom-
panied by little buying furry which
reprcncsted current needs OF domestic
users. Concerning the preparations of
the public for another fuel shortage
next winter, the publication says: ere
pcated warnings to the public to stock
up early because the coal situation next
year will be worse than during the past
season, are having their effect and some
think that the fuel administration is
slightly OVERRIDING matters. Consumers
in this part of the country, it is con-
tended, do not need any prodding to get
them to place orders early, and the talk
of dire things to hapen many months
from now is tending to create a panicky
feeling, which does not help matters
any, but makes it unpleasant for the
retailers.'

"Turlkish" Tobacco From
japan

A shortage in the worlds supply Of
leaf tobacco for "Turkish' cigarettes
has caused American cigarette manu-
facturers 10 turn to Japan for material
TO blend with other leaf in the making
of Turkish or Egyptian cigarettes Of
cheaper grades. Japanese tobacco is
mildcr and lighter in color and points
OF test than Turkish or Nirginian. It's
leaf is very thin, due probably to the
damp climate Of Japan. Tobacco can
be raised in all parts Of Japan, except
ing Hokkaido and the northeast part
Of the mainland.

The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at, say, s4.75as. The intrinsic
parity is s4.S65s per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at discount
or that dollars arc at premium, which
is owing to the fact that in England
the demand for dollars with which to
settle accounts in this country is greater
than the demand in this country for
pounds with which to settle accounts in

account for the sharp upturn in stocks

According to the current gossip de-

prove advantageous to the stecls and
the equipment issues. 1t was signti-
cant, however, that concurrent with
these reports there was also talk that
a big pool had been formed in Steel

army and navy urgently
need.
At the same time you
save money, which, in

In this way your thrift

doubly in arming and

What is more, your

the ruling rate was per cent, un-
changed from Monday At one time
call loans were placed on ~ per cent
basis.
Substantial Improvement was noted
in the market for fixed date funds yes

volume of money was being placed for
periods ranging from sixty to seventy
five days at 6 per cent, against MKT
ure of railway and industrial securities
as collateral. A few small loans were
made for four months at 6 per cent on
industrial collateral. Thirty-day ma
turtles arc ruling at 5a4 per cent. At
the moment the ease in the call money
situation has resulted in reducing the
demand for fixed date funds.

Another Overnight Fortune

In the gossip Of the Street yesterday
it was reported that an important op-
orator. who during the course of sew
cral years is reputcd to have won and
lost several fortunes through punging
spcculations. had made huge clean
up in the cotton market. The story
was that he had taken the bear side
last week, and reaped enormous profits
from the extraordinary collapse in cot
ton prices. The gossip mongers might
have gone further and attributed the
buying in Steel common yesterday to
this big trader, for at one time dur
ing the exchange session some heavy
blocks of Steel were bought at rising
prices
New-York tribune., 1918-04-17
Pcsetas Rise Again

When Spanish pcsctas sold up to 81.
cents in this market yesterday, an ad-
vance of cents over night, and new
high record price, they stood at pre-
MUM of slightly more than 60 per
cent. In other words. this meant that
an American merchant with an obliga-
tion to meet in Spain had to paw about
II cents above the normal exchange
value of the peseta for the exchange
necessary to make the remittance.
Heretofore, the advance in the rate in
the local market has for the most part
merely reflected similar rise in Lon
don and Paris. which is the principal
markets for pcscta exchange Ycstcr-
day, however. it was reported that
heavy inquiry has developed here from
foreign sources. chiefly Europe and
South America. The supply of Spanish
exchange is far short of the demand,
and that, of course, is responsible for
the sensational strength Of this form
of remittance. London cable adviccs
yesterday intimatcd that the British
government is seeking 100000 900
credit in Spain as a means Of correct
ing the adverse exchange situation.
