Details of Spanish Loan

The United States is paying Spain
t| per cent for the credit advance
made by that country, according to
London advices. The details of the
transaction are given as follows by
"The London Tines:
"A syndicate Of Spanish banks has
arranged with Mr.. Norman Davis. the
United States financial delegate, to
grant credit forthwith to the United
States of &3ooo,0oo sterling. This
amount may be raised to maximum
OF S10,O00,O00, to be made payable at
the rate Of 100000 month. Pay
ment will be made by means of bills
drawn on the Spanish banks by banks
OF the Federal Reserve system. The
credit will bear interest at u per cent.
and repayment will be made in gold at
par. This is the second credit which
Spanish banks have arranged for the
Allies, but the first in size and i'm
portance. The Spanish banks are thus
se'2ing the opportunity of using their
large gold reserve as basis Of earning
interest"

Wealth Markets and Commerce @

In spite Of money restrictions and
the concentration Of banking ana
public interest on the task Of put
ting over the tagging Liberty Loan,
speculative enthusiasm was not to
be restrained yesterday, the market
showing greater activity than it has
in any session since February 9.
Transactions reached 949,9 900 shares,
dealings in the railroad stocks con-
tributing about 20 per cent Of the
total. While there were no such SEN
sations in the railroad list as were
provided in the industrial group by
Mexican Petroleum and Marine pre-
terred, the rails on the whole dis
played greater strength than the in
dustrials, The average price of
twenty Issues reached a new high
record for the year. Moreover, some
brokers reported that the buying of
railroad stocks was excellent in
character, much Of it being for in
veStment, whereas the great bulk of
the industrial dealings was specula-
tive. There was more outside inter-
est in the market than has been wit
messed for some time, this, too, CEN
tring largely on the dividend paying
rails. The explanation is perhaps
TO be found in the unusually secure
position Of these stocks. In the
period Immediately following the
cessation Of hostilities industry may
possibly have to contend with radi-
cal readjustments, but the railroad
shareholder can face that period
with equanimity, inasmuch as the
period of government control, and
therefore Of guaranteed earnings,
extends for twenty-one months after
the conclusion Of peace.
New-York tribune., 1918-10-15
Local Market Also
Affected by NetUs

The feature of the day in the local
market was the appearance OF the
Food Administration as a buyer for
cash corn for export. This was not
apparent until few minutes after the
opening, however, @nd early prices
showed n break Of 3 TO A cents a
bushel from the final of Friday under
selling inspired by the favorable war
news.
When word was received from Chi
cngo that it had publicly announced
that the Food Administration would
make more liberal purchases Of cash
corn. there was a rush on the part of
shorts to cover and the market ex-
perienced one of the most spectacular
advances seen for many months. Under
the impetus of the heavy buying move
ment. the market advanced 10 to II
cents hushel within a very few min
tes, prices leaping upward l to cents
at time, with offers entirely made
GATE to meet the demands. When the
first rush Of bying was over there was
break of about cents. but this was
overcome and at the close Of the day
sales were near the top with net gains
Of 5is to TIC.
1t was thought in some quarters that
too much significance was given to the
government. demand, especially as there
has been more or less buying going or
for the past week or two, and while
government buyers admitted that they
we're in the open market, they were not
disposed to raise their bids materially
and were inclined to await offers. AT
any rate the demand acted as stabil
izer to prices and the action of the
market. which later in the day ignored
the political news was thought to ind-
cate a sold-out condition and a much
stronger technical situation.
