To Assist BOND Buyers.

Banks are busy with preparations for
the handling of the new Liberty bond
sale, and in 4 number OF institutions 1t
was said provisions are being made to
assist those who wish to subscribe for
the fourth loan. but who have not yet
completed their payments on the third.
This is the chief concern of Wall streets
bankers and they are certain the re-
Spouse to the Governments war Offering
will be even greater than any previous
issue. The Clearing House announced
yesterday that II had sent letter to
member banks recommending loans at
A. per cent. IN order that banks may
assist subscriptions for the fourth LIB
erty Loan and also recommending that
90 day loans secured by Government
bonds of the fourth loan be made at
rate not higher. than Al per cent. 1t
suggested that not more than 10 per
cent margins he required. In asking
that the banks make It az easy as pos
sible for subscribers the communication
recommends that loans TO customers Sc
cured by Liberty bonds should not be
considered as part of the regular line
previously granted to them for CONNER
cial purposes.

at that date in the previous year. while

"As the proceeds of the harvest are mar
keted there should be steady increase
of savings available for investment" tho
letter states THE increase in loans
during the year indicates care in the
granting of credits, and must. in view
of the steady advance Of commodity
prices. be regarded as quite moderate.

Steel FOundries.

The persistent buying of American
Steel Foundries in recent weeks has
been chiefly for the account of big inter-
ests and little. except in scattered in
stances. has been of the usual spccula
tive purchasing, that Is. on margin. The
reason for this Is chiefly because Of the
money committees strict prohibition OF
expansion of banking credit for specula-
ton. and those who have been the prln-
cipal buyers of Steel Foundries have OBJ
served this injunction to the letter. Its
abrupt rise this week is result OF the
scant floating supply In the street, as
the majority OF the shares wero taken Ia
by this group at much lower figures.
The fact that the stock has never been
rlasscd as trading issue kept most OF
the professional operators away from It.
but two important stock Exchange firms
have been active in 1t since early this
spring. One firm. which sometimes rep
resents an influential Wall Street bank.
is understood to still have its entire
holdings intact.

Investment Selling Small.

Whatever selling of securities there is
to obtain money with which to buy Lib
erty bonds 1t is apparently not large
enough to bring about any material de-
cline in prices. Some brokers report
liquidation by customers who advance
this explanation, while others declare
they have not seen any signs of such
selling. The fact probably is that those
who own securities are able to take their
proportionate share of the new war loan,
and where this is the case neither the
Government nor bankers desire investors
TO unload their stocks unnecessarily. The
number who must dispose OF corporate
issues to invest In Liberty bonds there
fore is comparatively small and few II
