The Absorbing TOPIC.

Restrictions being placed by the banks
on security loans continued to be the
chief topic Of discussion in the financial
district and 1t was declared that the
banks and trust companies are asking
individuals who have loans secured by
one company's stock to diversity the col
lateral. Many individuals have not been
able to comply with the request and have
been forced to liauidate part OF their
holdings Some brokerage houses which
have accounts that are well margined
are refraining from asking their GUS
toners to pay for the securities outright,
fearing that In reducing their borrow
ings they might not be able to get addi'
tional credit to make up the reduction
should they need it. OF course, where
the borrowings are out Of all proportion
to the firms working capital the broker
age house has no alternative except re-
duce the loan. The New York Stock Ex-

Four Years OF War Trade.

The extent to which the foreign trade
of the United States has grown since the
outbreak OF the war Is strikingly illus
trated in compilation Just made by
the foreign trade department of the Ma
tional City Bank. According to the
bank, the total for the four years Of the
war is as much as the aggregate for the
seventeen years preceding the war For
the last four years the bank finds that
the total value of the shipments TO and
from this country have reached $685.
100000, as against s15,972, 900, 900 in the
Immediately preceding four years. The
imports increased from $6,6S7, 900 900 to
$685.. 900. 900, while the exports jumped
from $9.0s4. 100000 to s19.674,00 900
These figures are based upon the official
returns for the forty-eight months from
August !. 1914, in which month the war
began, to August /. 1918. while the pre-
war period is for the fiscal years ended

Heard in wall street.

Wall Street has heard the suggestion
from time to time recently that IL the
metropolitan banks were disposed to
frown upon a too free granting of loans
to Stock Exchange brokers recourse
might be had to out Of town institutions.
The head OF one of the country's largest
banking houses said yesterday that he
did not believe 100000 could be raised
in that way. Loans outstanding were
estimated not long since at upward OF
$3.50, 900, 900. The truth is that II New
York bankers find they cannot aid In
financing the war adequately and at the
same time provide funds for an expand
ing speculative market in securities II is
a virtual certainty that bankers In other
centres ascertained the same thing at
the same time, II not sooner. Moreover.
hnanciers throughout the country look
to this city for guidance. and they are
not likely to run counter to policy

A Long Cry.

This is not to say that some individual
or other who desires to take fier In
the market may succeed in persuading
Philadelphia or a Boston bank to ad-
vance moderate loans for the purpose.
provided that purpose is not too strongly
emphasized. 1t is a long cry from such
transactions, however. to the absurdity
which has been given expression that a
bull movement could be started by funds
thus obtained. 1t Is sufficient to re-
mind ones self that the Federal Reserve
Board is committed to the conservation
OF credit. This means that all activi-
ties which require money must be In
proportion to those which have a direct
bearing on the business Of winning the
war. Banks here and elsewhere intend
to see to 1t not that Stock Exchange
operations are reduced to the point of
extinction, but that they do not inter-
fere with the great undertaking of ex-
tinsuishing Prussian militarism.

"First-It Is far from the case that
cago and Western Indiana Railroad
Company's obligations matured on Sep
TENDER l. Last April we began neSo-
tiations with this company and have fol-
lowed them up diligently and contInu-
ously by letter and conference since tina;
date, urging upon the company the Wis
dom and necessity of making timely and
adequate provision for the September
maturities. We suggested to the com
pany that this could be done either ~
concluding their terminal rental corr
tracts with the Government, SO that we
might successfully negotiate with the
public refunding note Issue in their
behalf. or by the company securing d..
rectly from tho Government an amount
SUFFICIENT to meet the maturing obligs'
lions.
1.-THE railroad company was unable to
accomplish either OF the alternatives in.
dicated above, and therefore we were
unable to render the service which We
were perfectly willing to do.
Furthermore. we might add that two
representatives from our firm appear
before the advisory committee to the
division of finance on August 81. This
conference did not result in any re.
quest for action on our part until Mr..
Williams's telegram. which was re-
ceived by US on Saturday noon. Au.

'Second-Mr. Williams intimates that
our estimate of the cost for extending
or renewing the notes OF the railroad
company approximated per cent
ION the contrary, we offered to submit
to the noteholders OF the Chicago and
Western Indiana Railroad Company an"
proposition for renewal or extension
that he might request, making such an
offer at per cent. IL he deemed it wisa
and We asked no compensation what.
ever for our services in using our best
endeavors to secure such a renewa. or

Considerable interest is being mani
tested in Annapolis and throughout

now waging in New York which is
centered about the activities of Will
lam II. Anderson, former Superin-
tendent of the Maryland Anti-SaloOn
League.
Adverse criticism of Mr.. Andersons s
activities on behalf of the Anti
Saloon League, was voiced yesterday
by many assemblymen, representing
both wet and dry factions, including
Mr.. McNab, of Schnectady, the intro
ducer of the Federal prohibition rati-
fication resolution in the Lower
House. The criticism followed a ques-
ton of personal privilege raised by
Assemblyman Williams, of Utica who
read a letter he had received from
Anderson assailing him for voting for
the Machold amendment Speaker
Sweet, an ardent advocate of ratifica-
ton, said that Anderson methods
tended to work more harm than good

From now until adjournment,
which is expected about the last week

be the tsorm center of all legislative
endeavor.

the famous Japanese actor portrays
therOle of a son of South Sea Island

setting a large part of the romantic
action centers; a treasure in pearls is
the pivotal point of the plot; their
fraudulent possession and final resto-
ration to the rightful owners adds to
the complication and the tropical at

THEORETICALLY EGGS
SHOULD BE 80 CENTS.
Practically, However, The An
napolis Price 1885 And No
Further Drop Expected.

According to all theories eggs
should be coming on the market here
at this time in quantities sufficient to
cause them to sell below 80 cents a
dozen wholesale.
Receipts are unusually light for the
season. Prices instead of being down
TO 80 cents are 6 cents higher on the
dozen for choice eggs.
Dealers are now of the opinion they
win stay at that price. They take this
view from the fact that in the coming
month buyers start putting eggs in
cold storage, andthey will take all sur
plus eggs off the market and thus pre-
vent the accumulation of any surplus
TO cause lower prices.
There may be slightly lower prices
when steady warm weather comes, but
no further big drop in prices is look
ed for.
