Nothing Like Bitro-p Phosphate TO Put on Firm
Healthy Flesh to Increase Strength,
Vigor and Nerve Force.

New York:-The organic phosphate dis
covered by Prof Pelouz. the, famous French
scientist, concerning which so. many astound-
ing reports have been published. has again
won high recognition in medical circles. Al
an annual meeting of the New Hampshire
Medical society the report on two rather
striking cases showed one patient to have
gained Is pounds and another n pounds in
weight after a few weeks use of this sub
stance. Both claimed they have not felt Sc
well and strong for years. These clinical
tests, with many other similar ones, have led
authorities 10 the definite conclusion that thi:
organic phosphate when taken into the human
system is actually converted into healthy
body tissue.
Moreover, the real benefits derived from
its use are not confined to the mere increase
in weight of thin people. Being an eficien'

TREVES, May 17.-Rates of ex-

censorship, show that the exchange

One report gave the rate in Berlin at
211 marks for 100 francs, while an
other transaction mentioned in bust

paid 229 y marks. The branch of the
Reichsbank in Colbenz has been paving

with the shipment of British gold to

signed to j. p. Morgan G. Co. at New

ernor of the Philadelphia Reserve
Bank, before the Pennsylvania Ranl-
ers Association that. so far IS tho
public is concerned. their mart in w.
financing the government in the war
period Is done. 1t is believed that tho
treasury will begin about July n
issue new certificates of indebtedneea
which will be taken chiefly bv tbs
banks and other large financial insti-
tutlons. In addition to these oblica-
lions whose maturity will probably
not exceed year, the Treasury is con.
slderlng the issue of securities moro
adapted to the needs of the general
pubic. The certificates have nevey
been issued in lower denomination
than $500.
Although officials close to the ssc
rotary of the Treasury insist that no
definite technique has been worked
out Tor handling the situation. the
need Tor further public aid is recoo-
nlzed. Secretary Glass has definitely
put himself on record to the effect
that the Victory Loan was the last of
the series, and besides officials be-
lleve that another war loan, directed
almost entirely by volunteers, would
not be practicable in peace time. II
Is sad that many persons who might
have hesltated to give their services
IN the Victory Loan were spurred on
by the assurance that they would not
be called upon again.
Secretary Glass has been consider
ing the Feasibility of selling bonds
continuously to the public, as the Brit
lsh Treasury authorities have been do
ing, but this plan has not vet been
decided on. The Government Loan
Organization in this district has d.
vested itself of 90 per cent of its
personnel, retaining merely a sksleton
to direct the War Savings campaign
until the end of the year.

Ne1O York Bank Loans
No1o Total S5,II4,362.OOO

DAMS outstanding of the New
York Clearing House banks at
the close of business yesterday
amounted to s5,114,362, 900, the
largest total in the history of the
clearing house and an expansion of
S20o,4o2,O00 in the loan account
'urlng the week just ended. The
previous high record was reached
on May 10, when loans stood at
s5,o2o,762 900.
Bankers attributed the extraordi-
nary expansion in the loan account
to the increased borrowings for
purposes of speculation in the stock
market, to the payment by the
banks on June of the Victory note
allotments in excess of $4,000 due
on that date, and to the payment of
the latest issue of tax certificates of
indebtedness, dated June 3.
While the loans of the banks were
expanding to record breaking
total, gold reserves increased $14.-
100000 to $37,455,160. United States
government deposits increased from
S87, 235,oo0 to 1892 $4,000 during
the week.

Government Loans

Two highly important pieces Of
news hearing on the market made their
appearance yesterday. They were
probably the two most important items
of the entire week outside of the news
which the market itself created. The
first was the statement Of William A.
Day, president of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society, that Secretary Glass
had told him the government would
have to raise more money by the f1ota-
ton of loans. Such statement is
highly indefinite. 1t is known that the
government will have to resort to
further borrowing. But Secretary Glass
had announced prior to the Victory
note campaign that that was to be the
last great public war loan. Whether
the statement of Mr.. Day indicates any
change in policy is not clear. The
markets ought not to be left in doubt
on such question, and if the govern
ment has formulated any definite plans,
they ought to be made public as soon
as possible, for the success Of govern
ment financing itself, if for nothing
else. The other news item was Sen
ator Owens remarks in the Senate on
the necessity Of government aid in the
extension Of credits to Europe to pro-
tect our export trade. Many bankers
have favored such aid, if only to be ex-
tended until such time rs private cred
its could be gotten well under way in
sufficient volume.

Prices and Dividends

A curious phase of the present line
up Of stock prices is the high figure
at which some Of the non-dividend-
paying stocks are quoted. Baldwin
Locomotive common, United States
Rubber common, International Nickel
common, all sell over par. Crucible
has now advanced quite near to 1t. The
reason for their present high prices
may be precisely that they pay no divi-
dends. One has merely to extend the
overworked tax argument. AS these
stocks pay no dividends, there is no
income, hence, no income tax. Mean
while the earnings of the stocks, not
being paid out in dividends, add them
selves to the market price, and if the
stock be not sold, there is nothing for
the tax collector to lay his hands on

shipped to New York from this Cana
dian reserve. After we entered the
war and the United States government
adopted liberal credit policy toward
all of the Allies the gold shipments
ceased. But the gold produced in the
South African fields continued to be
shipped to Canada where it has stead
lily accumulated.
A banker in close touch with thesit-
uation said last week that while official
Information on that point was lack
ing it was safe to assume that the
British government had adopted a
policy of paying a portion of it's cur
rent obligations in gold. How much Of
the metal England could spare at this
time depended, of course, he said,
upon the extent Of her reserves.

Smelling Stocks

The stocks of smelling companies,
especially those Of United States Smelt-
ing and American Smelling and Rein
ing, ere selling at moderate prices, as
compared with other industrials. These
companies, too, have the substantial ad
vantage Of the earnings derived from
the high prices of silver. They have
the further advantage that, because of
the gradual pacihcation Of Mexico,
their operations are pretty steadily eX-
banding. Furtherm ore, smelling charges,
although they vary somewhat in pro-
portion to metal prices never fall to
the point where they wipe out profits
even for short period of time The
common stocks of these companies look
like good trading purchases on all re-
actions and the preferred issues are in
