An Investment store.

The first step taken toward moving
part OF the investment market uptown
was made yesterday by the National City
Company when 1t opened n branch Office
ut the corner OF Forty-thrd street and
Fifth avenue. This Is the first branch
OF it's kind to become located above
the financial district Much skill was
required to furnish the Offices because OF
a desire TO have them fitted in such n
way that they would not scare the man
with only $500 to invest and at the same
time please the eye OF the wealthy in
weston. The branch was established on
the theory that many people think Wall
Street Is far away and that the location
OF an investment house uptown would
be some inducement to a man having
money TO invest but who did not care TO
journey from the upper part of the city
to the financial district. Charles L.
Mitchell. president OF the National City
Company. calls the new branch IAN In
vestment store" adding that investors
can now do their shopping on Fifth
avenue.

Wall Streets Indicator.

Since the beginning of the war fnan-
cial authorities, especially international
bankers, have contended that the first
signs of the paving OF the way for peace
would be reflected in an adjustment of
foreign exchange rates toward normal
In recent weeks exchange on neutral
countries has been declining toward nor
NAL while the allied rates have been ad-
vancing. Heretofore this would have
been accepted and used as a basis for
the assumption that peace was not very
far In the distance. but the movement In
exchange rates is now receiving only
scant attention. Some brokers. how
ever, who look further ahead than their
noses say they see the handwriting on
the wall and have started to make
preparations for the establishment of
closer relations with the London and
Paris markets. They also believe that
New York will continue to be the great
rest security market and financial centre
In the world following the declaration OF
peace.

Now Considered FavorabIy.

While the restrictions placed on ex-
cessive speculation by bankers has
been generally regarded as an insurance
against any sharp rise in the general
stock market. there are quite number
of brokers who declare that 1t is a mis-
take to assume that stocks cannot ad-
vance in the absence of speculation. Sew
eral good judges OF values believe a con-
siderably higher level OF prices may be
rea ched more readily under banking re-
striction than with a freer money mar
ket where the public can deal on narrow
margins, thereby endangering the posi-
ton through sharp declines following
unfavorable announcements. 1t is pointed
out that stocks are now so strongly held
that reasons operating for declines
have to be unusually unfavorable be-
cause persons owning stocks outright or
having them heavily margined are less
likely to become frightened upon learn.
