Announcement that plans for the
formation of great discount bank.
backed by the leading financial in
stitutions of the country, are under
consideration is significant, not only
because new field of banking
activity will thus be opened in this
country, but what is more impor-
tant, because it indicates that the
leaders of American business are
looking beyond the war to the time
when the competition for interna-
tional trade will be keener than it
ever was in the past. Since the war
began the United States has in
creased its commerce with other ma
lions by giant strides. But the
gains were easy because, until a
year ago, the United States was the
only great industrial nation not in
volved in the war, and to hold the
gains that have almost been forced
upon US will be difficult under any
circumstances, and without proper
organization impossible. That is
evident from the fact that though
nearly all their energies are re-
quieed to carry on the war, England
and France, and even Germany,
have for months been making prep
arations to regain the trade lost
during the war and to make new
trade conquests. Foreign trade
banks have been formed, commit
tees dealing with every phase of
the problem have been appointed,
industrial surveys have been made Z;
in fact, nothing that could possibly
help to promote international COM
merce after the war has been neg
lected. In this country preparations
have not been so we'll organized, but
henceforth developments along these
lines are likely to be more rapid
than they have been in the past
These developments will not be con-
fined to the establishment of the
necessary banking machinery. On
the contrary, it is not improbable
that industry throughout the coun-
try will be coordinated in such a
manner that foreign trade service
can be provided for all at a mini
mum expense to each business, and
with maximum results. There are
those who believe that after the
war all exportable American prod
ucts should be directly represented
IN every market Of Importance
throughout the world, and that ar
rangements to that end will be per-
fected within a short time.
From the opening of yesterdays
stock market until five minutes be-
fore the close the range of United
States Steel common, the creates,
of all speculative mediums, was ex-
actly one-eighth of point; and the
days transactions in this issue to-
tailed only 16,100 shares. While
lamentations in some other stocks
were a little broader, the movement.
or rather lack of movement, of Steel
was really typical of the market. It
has, apparently. reached an impasse,
and no important revival of activ-
lty is to be expected until the Lib
erty Loan campaign is finished, un-
less there should be some decisive

Relevant Comment:
Women Praised by Trust Companies

Women Praised by Trust Companies
How the trust companies of the
United States have filled vacancies
caused by war service has been made
the subject Of special inquiry by the
trust company section of the American
Bankers Association. Replies thus far
received state that uniformly salts
factory results have been obtained
from the employment OF female help
Some dlssatisfac tion, however, was
expressed with women workers., chiefly
IN the Eastern states. Many companies
stated that through promotion and by
engaging older men and younger men
they had been able to solve at least in
part the perpleXing problem brought
about by war One of the largest trust
companies in the country expressed
the opinion that young women are
more efficient than men for certain
positions. This institution had thirty.
flve women on its payroll five years
ago, while it now has total of 435.

Distillers' Shows Strength
In sharp contrast to it's recent in
activity, Distillers' Securities stock led
the entire list yesterday in volume of
trading. With turnover in excess
of 1900 shares, it advanced to 413s.
a net gain of rs points, and topped
the transactions in United States Steel
common by approximately 1900 shares.
At its closing price the stock sold at
the equivalent of. 1875 for those who
purchased it last week before it sold
"ex dividend" the regular quarterly
distribution of one-half of 1 per cent
and IL per cent extra. One reason
advanced for yesterdays squirt was
that the company has increased the
price of whiskey 20 cents gallon.
which action will aid in materially in
creasing earnings for the current wear.
Inc annual report issued in February
showed that l4.8 per cent was earned
on the S92' 229,3o0 stock outstanding,
compared with 1913 per cent earned in
1916. ''
