Both sides OF the Brooklyn Rapid
transit picture. as 1t appeals to stock
holders. Is set forth in an analysis by
NJ. c. Bowler & Co. one Of the Oldest
stock Exchange houses In the Street
The review points out that at .hc be-
ginning Of the war the c9mpany's earn
ing capacity was between and IA
per cent. and the outlook was for ..
steady growth in income. with no cor
responding increase in fixed charges In
the first years Of the war the earnings
grew. but the costs If operation tx
banded much more rapidly. and as n
consequence when the company's s57,-
$4,000 per cent. notes fell due on
July last there was presented the spec
taclc of perfectly solvent company un-
able to pay its maturing obligations
without granting most extraordinary
terms to the lenders. According to the
plan now proposed" the analysis says,
80 per cent of the notes will be paid in
cash and 20 per cent. will be extended
as three year per cent. notes. with a
Pledge given to the holders of the new
notes that no dividends in cash will o.,
paid while they are outstanding and no
dividends in scrip or In other securities
which are not Junior In lien to these
notes. This situation summarizes the adj
verse conditions which AFFECT the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit at the present
time"

Is when selecting bonds to substitute

circulation accounts. says n local In
vestment Arm. II points out that at
current prices for the three different
bonds, the use of the Old IS produces a
greater annual circulation profit than
would be obtainable from similarly
using either issue OF rs. Although the
As command n premium price as con-
trasted with discount price for the
Is, the resulting circulation profit as
the net return after taking into ac-
count sinking fund sufficient TO au
tomatically extinguish the premium on
the As in six and q half years, by which
time the bonds become redeemable at
par by the Government and coinciden-
tally would stand on the banks book
at par. A sinking fund OF 1918 per
bond set aside from the interest the
bond pays and compounded at per
cent. each year will eliminate the total
premium from the bond in six and a
half years II the Government elects
to postpone the redemption of the As
at par In 1925. the bank could still con-
tinue its circulation account secured by
the As and obtain an addition to its
annual circulation profit to the extent
that the sinking fund no longer would
be needed for reducing the premium.

Two Favorable Features,

The favorable features might we'll be
divided into two groups" the review
continues. IN the fest there are the
concrete facts that the new subway
and elevated lines are being rapidly
opened for actual use and will add
greatly to the 3. r, It's gross revenue
Immediately. Against this must be
stated the fact that the operation of the
new lines Will be abnormally expensive
both In labor cost and In the generating
OF current. The new lines will also
offer great field for increase in gross
revenue from the growth Of new terri
tory Just opened to rapid transit, but
against this must be stated the fact
that building operations are practically
at n standstlll. so much that this i'm
provement will necessarily be delayed
for the war period. The second favor
able group is of an intangible nature,
but promises more Immediate benefit
than those already noted. AS the fare
rate stands to-day the B. r. T is re-
ceivng exactly the same compensat ton
for a ride that 1t received in 1913, al
though during that period the purchas-
Ing power of the nickel has dwindled
almost so per cent. Consequently the
present fare has the same purchasing
power that 2ia cent fare would have
had in previous years All over the
country this situation is being met by
great increases. and whatever the polit-
iCal objections to II may be It will be
eventually met by an Increase for the
company"

Gold Reserve Expands.

The feature of the weekly statement
OF the New York Federal Reserve Bank
was the expansion of S116.700.0oO in
gold reserve, the gain resulting chiefly
from operations of the gold settlement
fund. The statement Of bills discounted
ana bought shows reduction of S1a,-
100000, and indicates that the banks
met the withdrawal OF Government de-
poslts without recourse to rediscounting
The total Of bills discounted and bought
Is still in excess of $500, 100000 and
warrants supervision OF the call and
time money markets during the coming

though trading was at a minimum with
the exception OF one or two fast NOV
ing specialties. The advances In Indus
trial Alcohol and American Sumatra
were based on pending developments
Affecting these individual issues and
were entirely outside of events which
would ordinarily influence the general
market. The quietness Of securities
seems paradoxical In face of the inspir-
Ing dispatches from France. but with
the money market as 1t Is and the taxa
ton legislation still to be met important
banking interests apparently are not
anxious to see any sustained movement
In stocks until Germany's final defeat
is more clearly seen than 1t is at pres
ent. Individually bankers and promi-
nent stock market people are pleased
beyond words with the remarkable
fighting demonstration of the American
forces. but they are waiting for unms-
taxable signs of decisive allied vic
tory before beginning any fresh market
operations.

mining companies are making a strong

are striving with all their energies to
this end. Unfortunately there Is no

One Of the causes of the Stock Ex-
changes failure to respond more than
moderately to the victory on the west
ern front was disclosed by the weekly
statement, which showed a contraction
in loans Of $178.052.000. In the face
OF such a movement 1t was difficult for
trading in stocks to expand. There was
relation. too. between the shrinkage in
loans and the reduction in deposits of
more than 100000. 900. AS cash hold
ings showed little change the better
ment in surplus reserve of $1S.144,150
may be ascribed to the loss in deposits.
Another feature of the bank statement
was the withdrawal Of United States
deposits. amounting to $4,000. 900 and
bringing that item down to the smallest
since June s. and with that exception the
smallest since April 6.

There appears to be a considerable
demand for copper for other than war
uses" reports Walkers Copper Letter
In its current review of trade conditions.
Scarcity of coal IS creating a demand
for the extension OF the lines Of hydro
electric power enterprises. If the coal
supply Is to continue Indispensable man
ufacturers will find 1t necessary to ar
range as far as possible for electric

gency use. Therefore IL seems possible
that the electrification OF waterfalls may
be resumed shortly on a large scale.
