American Telephones business is so
vast that It naturally felt the higher cos,
for labor and materials more acuteIy
than other corporations, and as the man
quoted above pointed out. this is largely
responsible for the company's present
situation. In fact. in the case of the
New York Telephone Company, the
Americans largest subsidiary, there are
ccnduits and thousands of installations
under ground in some parts of New
York which are far in excess Of the re-
quirements OF the business In those spe-
cial districts. II is not practicable TO
remove them, for should trade revive In
these semi-deserted commercial sections
they would have to be replaced The re-
moval of the wholesale dry goods mar

street to Fourth avenue. the shifting OF
department stores from lower Sixth ave-
nue to upper Fifth avenue and the ex-
teisve upbuilding OF a practically new
theatre district in the last FIVE years all
meant added expense to the telephone
company, 1t was forced to put in new
equipment at great cost and still carry
the old installations, though they are
now unused.

Liberty Q 1-2s NJ Par.

Liberty 3ia per cent. bonds sold at par
yesterday. the first sale at that figure
since October. 1917. The high record,
one that was touched shortly after the
bonds were admitted to trading in the
New York Stock Exchange. was 100 so.
The lowest point touched was 1920 on
January 81 Of this year. May 20 the
rs sold at es.ss, after a long period
OF steady appreciation owing to the tax
exemption features Of the issue. The
coveted point, 100. however. was not
reached until yesterday, when $4,000
Of the bonds changed hands at that fie-
ure. The last sale yesterday at 90 s6
compared with s44s for the first Is.
$3.50 for the second As. s5.44 for the
AIS. s4.36 for the first converted AVS
and e3.5S for the second converted ANS.

bankers say that II the sinking fund is
working II Is singularly ineffective. A
movement is on foot to secure the adop-
ton here Of the Canadian plan for sta
bilizing their Victory" bonds, but there
n considerable opposition. In Canada
the bonds are sold privately. and on the
assumption that there are normally
more sellers than buyers no commission
Is given to the broker handling a sale
but worth while commission is given
to the broker who produces purchasers
for the bonds offered for sale. The
Canadian plan Is working successfully
In that country. but the greater size OF
the Liberty bond issues would hamper
the success OF a similar step here.

ARE MEETING NEEDS
Accomplishments More Def.

Pierre Jay.
COOPERATION IN WORK

Wholly by Governmental In.
COOPERATION IN WORK

What the Government has accom-
plished in meeting the industrial needs
Of the war Is discussed by Pierre jay.
chairman OF the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York. in the monthly statement
on business conditions issued by the
bank. Mr.. Jay says the growing &C.
complishments OF industry in meeting
these needs are daily becoming more
definite and apparent, and that, on the
other hand, production for civilian pu,.
poses is gradually being restricted in
proportion to the reduction OF reserve
stocks of raw materials. The Govern
ment furthermore, he points out. with
the cooperation Of the industries con.
cerned. is extending IFS supervision over
available current supplies with view 10
their equitable distribution. Retail trade
shows in some measure the seasons
normal dulness.
"Shipbuilding continues to make sub
stantial progress. In this district nlne
shipyards are practically complete and
eight others more than half completed.
including sixty shipways for steel and
thirty-three for wooden ships. Present
contracts are for 2s4 ships of total dead
weight tonnager or l,OS3,O2O, or which
forty mine tonnage 11l.500) are 70 Re

four steel and five wooden ships we're
launched.
"Other construction work TO meet
Government need is heavy. The total
value Of building permits, however, in
the larger cities of the district except
Jersey City, has decreased from the
corresponding month last year. the de.
cline In Greater New York being 81 pe:
cent. for the month and the change FOR
the six months nearly the same as COM
pared with 1917 figures. A large part
Of what general building activity there
Is consists of alterations and repairs
Deliveries OF iron and steel for war
purposes are being made satisfactorily
under the priorities certificate arrange-
ment. with the prices of the second
quarter of the current year continued
for the third quarter. Conferences have
been held between the Government and
iron and steel makers with a view ~
regulation OF the distribution of steel

castings and miscellaneous steel prod

Small corporations bear a larger pro-
portionate share Of the war taxes than
the big ones according to compilation
made by the Bureau OF Internal Rev
enue. OF 1899 companies only 81 cap
italized at 100000 or over showing
1917 earnings of IS per cent. or more
would fall in the new classification to
so per cent on excess OF IS per cent.
Only four OF these 81 concerns have a
capital Of moro than 100000. The
1899 corporations are engaged In vari-
Gus lines of business including manu-
featuring. mercantile and mining. and Of
these corporations there are 2.3e3 out
Of the total which earned Is per cent.
or more In 1917. which would also put
them In the so per cent. class

The New Bonds,

1T is a more simple problem than the
railroad operation" this man continued
In speaking OF the telephone situation,
and II there can be a fair elimination
of politics 1t ought to be handled 10
the satisfaction of the public and OF the
security owners. In the case of Amer
lean Telephone some OF the gentlemen
connected with the concern seem TO have
expected too much OF the company
stockholders in the offering of the new
bonds, and perhaps the weakness OF both
the bonds and the stock has been due
TO the need for some to dispose OF stock
to care for bonds which the stockhold-
ers did not take. The new bond at the
price 1t now commands in the marke,
seems an attractive investment"

Mexican Petroleum's annual financial
statement for 1917 Is promised for next
Monday. and from those in a position
to know 1t is learned that the report
will show between $40 and s12 a share.
On the surface this showing may APP
pear unfavorable, though 1t Is under
stood that after the full report is avail
able for examination 1t will be seen
that In reality more than this was
earned. but that the company took a
most conservative attitude SO far as
Federal tax reserves and regular cor
porate charges were concerned, setting
side sums greatly in excess of anything
In the past. From this same source II
Is learned that other developments OF
Importance are likely TO be contaminated
shortly and II Is on these that the buy
ing OF the stock is predicated, rather
than on last years earnings.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
A Market Calm.

Extreme dulness again marked stock
trading yesterday. with transactions In
lighter volume than any day in recent
months.
There was not the slightest specu-
lative breeze to break the market calm
and prices drifted back and forth by
eighths. War news continued along the
same inspiring strain, and there was
little OF importance in the domestic sit
uation that was new. but traders re-
fused to be Influenced in either direc-
ton. The real answer to the markets
apathy is that outside Of floor operators
no one IL interested sufficiently in stocks
to buy, while on the other hand the out
look Is promising enough to prevent
any investment liquidation. For a dull
session II at least had the distinction of
being the dullest one in over a year.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness and that is by constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by aninflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, deafness is the rssult. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deaf ness are caused by Catarrh, which is an an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous sur faces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Circulars frse. All druggists. 75c.
