To Be Classified as to Fitness For
Seryice-Drafted Men. With Only
Slight Physical Defects VIII
BE Sent to Hospitals for
Correction Of
Ailment.

Washington, March 7-Re-classifi-
cation according to physical condition
of the men called in the next army
draft is provided in revised instruc-
lions for medical advisory boards
which are being sent to the local

service; OBJ Acceptable for general
military after being cured of remedial
defects; (C) Acceptable for special or
limited military service in specified
capacity or occupation; (D) Rejected

ailments and defects which gained
exemption of drafted men in the past
now result only in their being listed
in group B. Such men if they choose,
will be given the privilege of secur-
ing the services of their family ply
sicians in the effort to remove the de-
feet, but if they have not availcd
themselves of this privilege within
specified time, they will be called in
to military service and ordered to a
cantonment base hospital, a recon
struction hospital or to a. civic hospi-
tai, as may be designated by the

War Finance Corporation.

Bankers are not entirely satisfied
with the manner in which the war
Finance Corporation is functioning.
This Is their privately expressed opinion.
though the July circular of the Nationa!
city Bank treats the matter openly.
THE War Finance Corporation is or
ganized and ready to do business the
bank says, but serious difficulty has
been encountered in dealing with the
class of ca ses for which 1t seems to have
been chiefly designed, which consists OF
corporations in need Of capital either
for refunding or expansion purposes. II
had been assumed that bankers would
provide the capital wanted in such IN
stances, ard then recoup themselves ny
borrowing upon their own notes through
the War Finance Corporation. which
above its own capital of S5Oo.oo0.ooo
would obtain credit at the Federal Re
serve banks But it develops, as might
have been foreseen. that bankers are I'M
willing to expand their liabilities in this
manner. Commercial bankers would be
outside their proper field of operations
in lending them credit 70. The purpose
of providing fixed capital, ard invest
ment bankers would find the policy
equally impracticable. Their business
is not to carry investments but to dis
tribute them, and they need to have
their capital in hand"

Professionals took full advantage OF
the Federal Trade Comm MISSIONS charges
of alleged profiteering by selling stocks
freely In yesterdays market with Steel
common bearing the brunt OF their at
tacks. That the securities of these In
dustries mentioned by the Trade Com
mission weakened easiest Indicated that
traders were making use OF the ammuni-
ton supplied In that report Pressure
was evident from the opening. and while
1t did not assume alarming proportions
at any time the absence OF supporting or
ders indicated that the banking interests
were confident the market could take
care Of itself. There was, of course,
the usual scale buying on the way down
and the need for anything more was not
apparent. Bears who saw In the Fed
eral Trade Commissions report an OPP
portunity 10 depress prices succeeded In
their object. but as for any sustained
decline severe enough to precipitate Sc
rious liquidation, 1t should be remem-
bered that the War Industries Board is
of more Importance In Washington now
than the Federal Trade Commission.
Good Judges OF market conditions ex-
pressed the opinion that while the gem
eral public might be interested In the re-
port of the Federal Traae Commission.
II would not induce important owners OF
stocks to sell. In the last few minutes
OF trading prices melted rapidly on
moderate offerings and the list closed at
the low Of the day.

The Remedy.

about two years ago" continued Mr.
Frederick. England made the necessary
arrangements to support Its currency in
New York, giving instructions to her
bankers in the United States to pay
s4.7s 7-16 for every pound sterling Of
fered. When the Spaniards received for
their goods sold to Great Britain the
equivalent in English money the amount
became so large that 1t depressed the
price of pounds sterling in Madrid and
Barcelona. the principal Spanish finan-
cial centres. These credit balances in
London became 30 large that it was I'M
possible to sell them In the Spanish
financial centres without a great sacrl-
fce. The Spanish bankers. however,
knew that New York will purchase such
sterling credits at the pegged rate of
s476 7-l6. The continual transfer of
such credit brought very large Spanish
and other neutral deposits to New York.
BUT the wide fluctuations in their en-
changes made the neutral bankers fear
full that they might have to face losa
II they did not bring these balances
home. This call for neutral exchange IL
the cause for the very large increase In
the price of pesetas. Swiss francs, Dutch
and Scandinavian money and the CORE
spending depreciation In our dollar in
these countries" Mr.. Frederick sug-
Rested that a committee composed of
representatives OF each OF the Allies CO.

ports, eliminate the triangular exchange
transactions and the buying OF non
essentials. Each country" he added.
SHOULD in the future buy and settle di-
rectly with the neutrals. In order tn
acquire the necessary credits to pay for
such purchases I would propose a syndi.

Raising the Rates.

Brokers who have been agitating Tor
higher commissions looked with envy on
the rather informal manner In which
the put and call profession raised It's
rates. 1t seems that the leading men,
bers Of the New street privilege com
munity just met, and they both agreed
that the business would stand III per
cent. advance, whereupon they an
no,,nced the new tariff, effective imme-
diately. The new rates are $137.5o for
thirty day papers to the buyer, which
means that the trader sells 1t for sl25
and the dealer makes the difference. So

we're very much pleased. Their
father told them that the animals
