 The bank statement disclosed an ex- pansion in actual loans for the week of SSS, 800, 900 in excess reserves, reducing | total reserves to about S29, 900, ,000. FINANCIAL REVIEW
 NEW YORK, Nov. 16-The many unqualified assurances from official sources that the coming period of trade adjustment will be managed with due regard to all interests, was the para mount influence of the week in the se- curities market. Washington is under stood to be cooperating heartily with the leaders of finances and industry, to effect an easy transition from war to peace. It is generally recognized that some of the most delicate problems now facing the big interests of this 1 country have their origin not only in the countries of the entente alliance, | but in central Europe as well. A com forting feature of the domestic situ- alton was the announcement by the treasury department, of a reduced pro- gram of war taxation.
 Foremost trade authorities agree that the immediate aspects of general business are very confusing. Commod- ity prices recorded further downward revision this month, but buying in many lines was at standstill in antic- ipation of further reductions. The end of the week found prices of active stocks to 10 points under the core spending period of last week. Indus trials, shippings, oils and motors were most adversely affected, rails yielding only nominally.
 Apart from developments due to the

termination of the war, it is generally believed that credit restrictions will continue to exercise their restraints. From present indications time money will hold at prevailing rates, with little or no increase of supply.

Militant Suffraqists

Western senatorial campaigns this
fall are to be complicated by the No-
man suffrage issue, according to the
plans announced at the headquarters
of the National Woman's Party in
Washington. Only the Immediate
passage of the amendment will keep
it out Of politics.
Every Democratic candidate for the
Senate in states where women vote,
regardless of his individual stand on
suffrage, will be campaigned against
as a member of the party in power
responsible for the delay of the suf-
frage amendment.
Alice Paul, chairman Of the Wa
mans Party states:
with the draft bill and prohibition
amendment disposed of the long
promised time of action on suffrage
has arrived but there is no indication
that action will be taken. This COM
bined with the fact that the Republi-
cans have caucused for immediate
action and have three-fourths of their
members pledged makes it necessary
for us to go into the election and
rouse our voting members to a con-
certed protest against the stand of
the party in power on this measure
of democracy"
We have never agreed with some
of the policies of the National Wom-
ans Party, but we are bound to ad-
nit that it takes more than the sink
ing of a great steamship with the
loss Of hundreds Of lives to get more
action than notes" out Of some ad-
ministrations.
