Rotary McAdoo, with the comment that
"thc great events now happening in

In connection with the loan the Sec

the market in order to aid in keeping
the price up to par. The maturity ~

Most financial observers were sur
prised at the comparatively small size
Of the loan. and at the interest rate,
both of which they had expected to be
higher. Reduction Of government ex.
penditures and allied loans below the
former estimate is responsible for the
loans size, Secretary McAdoo ex-
planned. Hc said the bonds were made
non-convertibe to put an end to ex-
pectations Of higher Interest rates in

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS BuoYANT
On Large Earnings Reported by In
 dustriaI Companies.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Constructive home developments over the week end, notably the subsistence of the shipbuilders' strike and the large earnings reported by several impor tant industrial companies. more than nullified< what was regarded as dis couraging news from abroad in to- day,s stock market
 Investment rails, shippings, 9repre- sentative edpipments-s and numerous var contract shares were encompass ed in a broad movement at substan tial advances, while some speculative issues were even stronger. Announcement that congress is to devote this week to the railroad con trol bill and reassuring trade advices from wester hand other trade centers were among the additional helpful fac tors of the day.
 Much of the inquiry for stocks em- anated from commission houses, indi- eating revival of public interest, but the shorts were helpful in the ad- vance, covering extensively in certain issues recently under pressure. Over half a score of rails, includ | ing low priced western and southern shares, registered gains of one to two points, Pacifics and coalers again fur nishing the stimulus.
 | Selling for profits made little i'm precision until the final hour. when United States Steel. marines and some of the inactive equipments yielded part of their gains, American and Baldwin Locomotives meanwhile showing ex treme advances of IA and 1-2, re- ispectively. Sales amounted to o,0oC
 shares.
