Marine Ship Deal
Halted on Orders
From Washington
P. A. S. Franklin Announces
Government Desires Fur
ther to Consider Matter

In the wake of numerous rumors
which have pevaded the financial dis
trict for a week concerning the status
of the negotiations involving the sale
OF the British owned subsidiaries of
the international Mercantile Marine
Company, =. A. S. Franklin. president.
announced yesterday after a meeting
OF the finance committee that the deal
had been halted by officials of the gov
ernment. In formal statement he
said:
while during the course of these
negotiations we have kept the authori-
ties in Washington fully informed, we
have to-day been requested that we
take no further steps to complete the
transaction until our government has
the opportunity to further consider the
whole matter"
Individual members of the Marine
board declined to amplify Mr.. Frank
ms statement, and in the absence of
additional information Wall Street in
dulged in its favorite pastime of in
venting explanations. One of these
was that the government had asked
that the deal be held up until all the
American soldiers overseas had been
brought home. AS the International
mercantile Marine ships are especially
adapted fer transport work, it was said
the Washington authorities wanted
them kept under American control for
this purpose, at least while the de-
mand for shipping space continued
acute. Another theory was that the
government had decided to acquire the
shlps which the marine company had
intended to sell to an English financial
syndicate.
completion of the sale to the British
interests, Mr.. Franklin said recently.
would leave between $13O,OOO,0O0 and
S135, 100000 in the treasures of the
English subsidiaries. These are the
only official figures that have been
made public regarding the transaction
The tonnage involved in parleys be-
tween the directors of the American
company and the British interests in
cude ships of the Atlantic Transport
Line, the White Star Line. the Oceanic
Steam Navigation Company, the At
lantic Transport Company, Ltd, and
Frederick Leyland & Co., Ltd. With
the exception of the last named COM
pany, the International Mercantile Ma
rlne Company owns all the stock sof
these subsidiaries.
The Marine issues on the Stock Ex-
change yesterday pursued their usual
erratic course. After selling as high
as 117ss in the morning the preferred
in the afternoon broke to 114A and
closed at 114M for net loss of 21s
points. The 6 per cent bonds were
also weaker, the last sale being at
101%, compared with recent price
above 104

Peace and the Less Essentials

In the metals world the end of the
fighting overseas has already wrought
significant changes. The government
has lifted the bans and limitations on
the use of gold, silver and platinum
for commercial purposes. The need of
these precious metals in the ammun-
tion and allied factories is virtually
over, and the raw materials are once
more released for jewelry, dental work
and other normal uses. Many of the
jewelry factories, cut off from a large
part of their raw, materials during the
last few months, began to convert part
of their works into units of production
for war materials, and now a reconver-
sion may be expected. No intimation
that the embargoes on the export of
gold and silver will be lifted for some
time. has been given. On the other
hand, silver interests have been in
formed by the government that the en-
barge on the shipment of that metal to
the Far East is still in force, and will
remain effective until the exchange sit
uation in the Antipodes reverts to the
normal.

Money and Credit

Money conditions remained substan-
TALLY unchanged yesterday, with call

This much is clear. We know that
we have had tremendous exports
this year. And we know that the
enormous war business must have
given rise to an immense volume
of business exchanges. In spite of
this there has been, we know, no
increase in the total volume Of
railway traffic, no real increase
in the volume Of bank clear
ings for the eight months Of
thist year over the same period Of
last; This can mean only one
thing; that is, corresponding con-
TRACTION in other lines. We cannot
measure this contraction. But we
can make fair estimate from the
facts cited. There must be, then, a
large volume of normal business to
return to life, and to counter-bal-
ance the extinction Of war indus
tries. After all, we have a nation
Of plus hundred millions to feed,
clothe, house, amuse and dandify.
Only two million of these went
abroad. Two per cent is not large
proportion.
New-York tribune., 1918-11-20

The government authorities are
beginning to be troubled over the
difficulties of an equitable distribu-
ton of the cotton supply to the
various nations. The European
need, we know, is great. If all the
Allied governments and the United
States pooled all buying of cotton
for their respective countries, as is
done for wheat, steel and other
commodities, this would automati-
cally fix the price of cotton and there
need be no runaway market in this
staple. Cotton is to greater de-
gree than even wheat or steel a
"war baby" 1t has been estimated
that more than half of our own
cotton supply was used directly for
war purposes. A very considerable
part was taken for ammunition
alone. There is said to be enormous
boarding of cotton in the South and
in the warehouses. There seems no
just reason why the price Of other
war materials should be fixed and
cotton left to soar to any price
which the hoarders and profiteers
may put it to. The relative price
for cotton, fixed by a price of 1925
for wheat, would be 22 cents. The
cotton bulls are now talking of 40
or even SO cents.

Steel Foundries at New High

American Steel Foundries established
a new high record price yesterday
when the stock touched 95. At the
closing level of SO, there was net ad-
vance of IL points. The recent
strength in this issue is said to be
based on expectations that a capital
readjustment plan now under consider
alton by the directors will enhance the
value of the stock, of which approx-
mately $17,000,o00 is outstanding. 1t is
understood that the scheme proposes
to issue new stock of no par value for
the existing issue and that two or pos
sbly three shares of the new stock
will be exchanged for each share now
held. 1t is stated that the net quick
assets of the company now aggregate
$12500,000.

Renort of OIL Price Cut

. 1t may or may not have been coin
cidence, but it was fact that while
Mexican Petroleum was declining in
yesterdays stock market reports were
heard that prominent producing com
pany had made a reduction in the price
of fuel oil to prominent consumer.
In some quarters this was taken as an
indication that the peak in oil prices
had been reached and that from now
on the various companies would be
able to more than keep pace with the
demand.
New-York tribune., 1918-11-20

The whole business world, one
might infer, is waiting for lower
prices. The railroads are waiting.
The building trades are waiting.
The auto industry is waiting. The
electrical industry is waiting. And
a hundred others. But one great
human demand will not wait. That
is for food. And food will be dear.
Dear food does not spell low wages.
1t means high wages or strikes. The
farmer will pay high wages, be-
cause he is guaranteed high prices
by the, government and by world
wide conditions. This is the basic
line on which any induction for the
future must be built. What every
one anticipates often does not oc-
cur. Universal expectation normal
ly defeats itself.

TO Speed Up X. r. Contracts

1t is predicted in railroad circles
that many prominent carriers will
complete their contract negotiations
with the government in the near fu-
ture: 1t is expected that the Balti-
more & Ohio will be one of the first
to sign up with the railroad admins
tration. This belief is strengthened by
the delay of President Daniel Willard
in sailing for France to do important
work for the War Department. The
terms of the B. & 0. contract with
the government, it is believed, will be
favorable from the viewpoint of the
road

Tractors at Bethlehem?

Reports that the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation has under consideration a
plan to enter the tractor business as a
post bellum activity were not confirmed
at the Offices of the company yester-
day. 1t was stated, however, that un-
doubtedly the plants which will dscon-
tinue the manufacture of munitions
will turn to lines that will be used to
meet the commercial requirements of
this and other countries in times of
peace. The shipbuilding yards, it is
realized, will be kept busy for some
time to come in helping to meet the
worldwide demand for tonnage which
by some experts is expected to con-
tinue at high-water mark for at least
five years after the war.

The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms of the Amer
lean dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling, say. at $4.7595. The intrinsic
parity is $4.86M per pound. Thus YOU
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with which
to settle accounts in this country Ia
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle ac
