Lacking fresh developments in the
news, the stock market drifted yes
terday without getting anywhere in
particular. The price movement
was irregular, although at times the
list displayed tone of pronounced
strength. At the moment the mar
ket Is to large extent in the hands
of professional traders who are bid
ding up various special issues. This
usually happens when the market
slows down and there is no real in
centive to large operations. While
there is some nervousness over the
new submarine menace, much more
attention is being paid in financial
circles to the military situation in
France. An interesting feature of
the market yesterday was the stag
ing of fresh advance in Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine preferred.
It appears now that the authority
of the Capital Issues Committee in
passing upon. new security issues
extends much further than has gen.
orally been supposed. In a state
ment issued yesterday Richard L.
Austin, chairman Of the sub-com-
mittee on capital issues Of the Phil
adelphia Federal Reserve district,
calls attention to the fact that while
the act creating the committee gives
it authority to pass upon borrowing
for capital purposes In excess of
100000 no misapprehension
should exist as to the application of
the oct, because it applies not only
to bond and note issues, but also
to any loan made by a bank, trust
company or individual, for a capt.
tai purpose, whether such loan is
entirely unsecured or is secured by
mortgage or otherwise. The prac-
tical difficulty Of requiring loans or
dinarily made by banks and trust
companies to be submitted at this
time has suggested to the central
committee at Washington the adop-
ton of the following resolution as
its temporary policy:
pending the development Of ade-
quate organization for supervising
borrowings, other than bond and
note issues, in excess Of 100000
for capital expenditures, the Capt.
tai Issues Committee solicits the
immediate cooperation Of all banks,
bankers, trust companies, Insurance
companies, individuals and others
called upon to lend money for such
purposes in restricting credits for
permanent improvements and better
ments, or other new work, not es-
sential to the prosecution of the
war. A spirit Of patriotism as we'll
as considerations Of self-interest will
suggest that credit for capital uses,
whether or not In excess of $780,
OUU, be- extended only to borrowers
whose paper would be eligible to
Eecure advances from the War FL
nance Corporation.
1t is added that the spirit o. the
act applies with equal force to all
transactions involving the use of
cash for capital purposes, regardless
of the amount involved or the char
acter or type of security or loan
whereby the money is obtained.
Dividend and interest disburse-
ments during the current month will
be large. The total Is estimated at
s161,018,950 by "The Journal Of
Commerce." which compares with
$164, ,891,1l8 in June, 1917. Stock
holders will receive in dividends ap-
proximately $S1,o00,0oo, against
ss6,691, 200 a year ago. Interest
payments will amount to $80,O0O.-
600, compared with s78,200,000 in
June last year. It is significant that

The above rates express the cost of

sterling at, say, s4.75h. The intrinsic
parity is $4.S6ss per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Eng

greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle ac-

JAPAN'S FOREIGN
TRADE INCREASES
Imports for Nine Months Are
225,951,28O Yen, Exports
,384,734,433.

The foreign trade OF Japan shows a
considerable increase for nine months Of
this year, according to the figures shade
public yesterday in the Eighteenth
Financial aud Economic annual Of
Japan. The total value OF imports from
January TO the end OF September Is re-
ported to be 225.951,2S0 yen, 1854, S41
yen more than in the same period in
1917. The value OF exports was 1884,
734,433 yen, an increase Of e43.S2O. OILS
yen. The total trade OF Japan for the
nine months amounted to 2.610,6S5. 713
yen, an increase over the Same period
last year OF 769.S51,s56 yen.
Japan's favorable trade balance Is the
largest ever recorded. according to the
Annual. which says:
"At the outbreak OF the war our sea
borne trade was adversely affected both
in exports and Imports Fortunately this
state OF affairs soon began to improve
and despite the fact that the various OBJ
stacles still stood in the way, such as
scarcity OF freight space and the ban
placed on imports by the warning Gov
ernments. and that new factors appeared
to complicate the situation, as the politi-
cal change in Russia and embargo on ex-
ports enforced by the United States, the
was that during the year 1t attained rec
ord figures.
Various factors combined TO bring
about this change; for instance, 8
marked increase Of our shipment to the
neighboring markets and the South Seas
to take the place of commodities that
had ceased coming from Europe.
This was especially conspicuous as
regards China, where the rise in eX-
change value of silver created a larger
demand for Japanese goods. Then the
arrival OF large orders from the new
markets of South America and Africa
and also from the United States. where
the economic market was very active
and the large shipment OF munitions and
foodstuffs to the Allies all Joined &c
carry the volume of export trade to al
unusual height
Then the total of partial stoppage OF
Japanese goods from abroad had the eff
feet OF stimulating the starting of new
enterprises. which incidentally invited
the import Of enormous quantity of raw
materials"

GOODYEAR EARNINGS UP.
Years Net Income S1b,3SS,tOOi
but Subject to Taxes.

The net earnings of the Goodyear Rub
Der and Tire Company amounted to $751;
sSS,190 for the year ended October 81
according to the annual report made
public yesterday. This sum Is subject to
Federal taxes and is equivalent after
deductions of preferred dividends, to
S6443 share on the S20.466.S00 COM
mon stock. This compares with $14.-
044,206. or $81.s8 a share, for the same
period last year.
The total sales for the same period
amounted to 31,247,3S2, a considerable
increase over the 1917 sales of $111.45O,-
644 and more than double those in 1916,
which were $63.950,399.
The report to the stockholders further
says: "rThe results are satisfactory
when we take into account the fact that
our factories were operated with an in
adequate supply OF labor during the en-
tire year and the further fact that at no
time during the year were we able to
supply product in sufficient quantity to
meet the deInand--Government restric-
tions since July limiting our produce

to 80 per cent. of the production OF the

ITALY'S WAR DEBT
is $12,OOO,OOO,OOO
Country Has Provided for
Restoration of Finances,
Says G. Biasutti.

That the Industrial renaissance Of
italy is beginning to take shape was
the view expressed yesterday by O. Bla-
sutti, one OF the managers Of the Banca
Italiana Disconto of Rome, who Is In
the United States to take up his duties
as vlce-presdent OF the Italian Discount
and Trust Company, at 900 Broadway.
recently formed under the auspices OF
the Banca 1taliana Disconto and the
Guaranty Trust Company OF New York.
THE Italian war debt is approximately
5s, OOO, 000, 600 lire. or nearly $4,000
100000" said Mr.. Biasutti while the
Italian public wealth is estimated at
from 10000. 100000 TO 10000, 00o. 900
lire. 1t is clear therefore that Italy has
thrown the bulk of it's wealth into the
war.
''Italy's condition would be extremely
disturbing, when considered in the light
OF this enormous burden. were II not
for the fact that she had created indus
tries that will provide for the restora-
ton of her finances. The italians have
demonstrated once more the stun they
are made OF by their sacrifices and by
the extent of their achievements.
Tho war industry has made millions
OF new workmen and has multiplied
1taly's industrial power n hundredfold.
1nnumerable new factories have been
built and those already in operation have
been enormously enlarged and all are
ready to change from war to n peace
basis These tangible factors point to
the steady building of Italys commerce
and the assumption OF her place in the
foremost ranks of International traders.
Il wish to stress the point, however.
that all of these huge efforts toward a
sure and steady industrial readjustment
are largely contingent upon American
cooperation"
