LIBERTY 3 1-2S
AT new HIGH
Wall Street Eagerly Awaits
New Tax Exempt
Fourth Loan.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York. Aug. 1s.-stocks were
quiet but strong today. cotton furnish
ing all the excitement in Wall Street.
Money was called freely by the
banks. and brokers were inclined to
turn away business for the reason.
The crop situation remains good and
the war news was so good that II was
a wonder more was not done by way
of celebration.
The apparent reason for inactivity
was the war tax program which -
so near to Official settlement that men
OF influence in the market think they
might as well wait q while longer and
know for certain what they can do
In the meantime they are gathering In
the 81 per cent. Liberty Bonds, send
ing them today to the new high record
OF l0i.06.
In high banking circles today II was
said that the Secretary Of the Treas
ury was considering q proposition to
make the new loan q five-year. with
liberal tax exemptions. II that 10 done
II will so like the proverbial hot cakes
and remain above par in the market.
Scramble for Cotton.
Marine was strong today the rumor
being current that the sale of British
interests was ION again" American
International also was active and rose
point thus lending color to the
rumor.
Motors were all strong under lead
ership OF General Motors. which Id
vanced to within a half point OF its
high record.
Cotton behaved so strangely that
Wall Street killed the crop and then
revived it all in one day. Specula q.
tive options advanced from 81 to d!
points, broke from 40 to 100 points,
and then rallied from IS to u points
Gross movements amounted to more
than SIS bale and prices closed
about where they began. It Is all
due to the uncertain weather con-
ditions and the knowledge that IL
the war Is to end in 1919 there will
be a scramble for cotton for the
world is bare of II.
