Money Squeeze Over?

The money market appeared in n
much easier position as the day closed.
1t looked as if the squeeze were over,
for there were liberal offerings in the
afternoon around per cent compared
with highs of Is and 20 per cent on
Monday and Tuesday. 1t is believed
that the renewal rates to-day will be
lower than the 9 and 10 per cent quoted
by the banks yesterday. Bankers
assert, however, that no pronounced
ease can be looked for in money IN
view of the large current demands for
credit. Recurrence of stringency from
time to time is to be expected as
matter of course, it is stated. Accord
ing to Wall Street estimate, the stock
exchange loan account, held down to
S6000O0,0 900 by the defunct money COM
mittee, has been swollen to $780,
100000 by the great speculation since
February. This is large figure, but
there have been times in the history
of the Street when the loan total has
been $500,000,000 or more above that
figure.

Arrange to Pay
$l00,0O0,000 French
Loan at Maturity
Advance Made by American
Foreign Securities Com
pany To Be Met i'm Full
When Notes Fall Due

The American Foreign Securities
Company, which was organized in July
1915, by j. P. Morgan & Co. and asso-
clated banking institutions here for
the purpose of making loan of $780,
100000 to the Republic of France, YES
terday formally announced that pro-
vision has been made for the payment
at maturity Of all of its outstanding
notes which fall due on August /.
The maturity originally amounted to
$o4,500,000. These notes, the announce
ment said, are payable in dollars in
New York at the Office of J. P. Morgan
& Co. and arrangements for such paw
ment were completed several months
ago.
Representatives of the company de-
cllned to discuss the methods by which
the liquidation of the outstanding
notes was made. When the securi-
ties company was formed, with capt.
tai of $l0,o00,00O, it received from the
value of S120,0OO,O00 as collateral
The company issued $94,5OO,OOO of
three-year per cent gold notes at a
yield of 5.735 per cent.
In response to an inquiry as to
whether the sale of the collateral had
put pressure on exchange rates. com
pany officials replied in the negative.
The original collateral, which was
changed in some particulars from time
to time, consisted of the obligations
of neutral governments, Suez Canal
shares, Spanish railroad bonds, and the
securities of American corporations.
Inc collateral was deposited with the
Bankers Trust Company.
The executive committee of the COM
pany consists of J. P. Morgan, Henry
?. Dawson and James Brown. The
debenture corporation was launched to
meet the special situation that existed
three years ago. France was hard
pressed for funds with which to paw
for materials bought in the United
States and bankers did not consider

Offices yesterday. In the absence of
Judge Gary, who was in Washington

ton Of making Chicago tasing point

attention was directed to the recent

Of the unionized steel workers in which
the statement was made that the man.

Canadia, Loan Is
Fully Subscribed

>. r. Morgan & Co. yesterday an
nounced in behalf of the syndicate
which made public Offering of notes
of the Dominion of Canada aggregat-
ing s75,0Oo,o00 that the loan had been
fully subscribed, and that the subscrip-
ton books had closed at / o'clock in
the afternoon.
The precise proportion of two year
and ten year notes has not yet been
determined. The syndicate retained the
right to make that decision after the
popular preference had manifested it
self. No data were available for pub
llcatlon as to the total of subscrip-
tlons or as to the relative amount of
each domination sought.
international bankers regarded the
sale of the Canadian notes as test
of the investment market for foreign
securities: The proceeds of the new
loan to the Dominion will be used 10
pay off the two year notes which ma

Observation-Disclosures

Charles E. Hughes, then Governor, rec
commended in its report. That COM
mittee made a careful investigation of
the curb market as it then existed
and found that:
"The present apparent attitude of
the exchange toward the curb seems to
be clearly inconsistent with it's moral
obligations to the community at large
Its governors have frequently avowed
before this committee a purpose to CO.
operate to the greatest extent for the
remedy OF any. evils found to exist in
stock speculation. The curb market
as at present constituted affords ample
opportunity for the exercise of such
helpfulness. The Stock Exchange
should compel the formulation and en-
forcement of such rules as may seem
proper for the regulation of business
on the curb, the conduct of those deal
ing thereon, and, particularly for the
admission of securities to quotation.
Under such regulation the curb market
might be decently housed to the re-
public"
The Hughes committee estimated
that about IS per cent of the business
On the curb comes from the Offices Of
members of the exchange. 1t also
stated that "some of the members of
the exchange dealing on the curb have
apparently been satisfied with prevail
ing conditions and in their own sell
nsn interests have maintained an atti-
tude Of Indifference toward abuses"
The belief was expressed yesterday
by a governor of. the exchange that
even though 1T should be found prac-
ticable to take the curb market under
the roof of the exchange, and this were
actually done, there would probably
still exist an outdoors market where
stocks that did not meet the reauire-
ments of the Stock Exchange would be
traded IN by operators of questionable
character.
f. K: Mccormick, chairman of the
New York Curb Market Association.
when Informed of the plan of the Stock
Exchange to house the curb market in
Its own building, said that the proposal
was news to him, but that it confirmed
the prediction made by him recently
that the intention to 20 indoors would
not be abandoned.
He said that he would withhold any
formal statement of the matter until
he had heard from the officials Of the
Stock Exchange further details of
their plan. Mr.. Mccormick intimated.
however, that there would probably be
no serious opposition from the mem
bcrs of the Curb Market Association,
inasmuch as both the officials of the
exchange and the curb had the same
purpose in view-that it, to protect the
buyer of securities that are not listed
on the Stock Exchange

The Markets
Breadth of the Market

Three hundred and twenty-five diff
ferent stocks were traded in on the
exchange yesterday. The number on
Tuesday was 293. Dealings werc about
on the same scale as the day be-
fore, totalling approximately 1,6OO,O
shares.
Irregular but Strong
The market was irregular, but the
tone was strong all day long. Stocks
started with rush, many new highs
in the industrial list being established
in the early hours. AS the time for
announcing the call money market
opening approached. around 1880,
trading queted down while the Street
waited to see what had happened in
money overnight. The opening and
renewal rates were and 10 per cent
for mixed collateral and all industrial
collateral loans respectively, the same
as the day before. Some selling Of
stocks followed, but the tendency of
the market was to grow quiet as prices
eased off. In the afternoon the call
rates eascd off sharply, getting down
to and 61z per cent at 2 p. m. This
helped the whole list in the closing
half hour and the final tone was
strong.

Late Tuesday word was passed around

Ohio Cities came into prominence in
the early afternoon, suddenly squirting
ahead to 81, closing there, up more
than points. The pool in the stock
is credited with having begun its oper-
ations around 46. D. G. Dawes, presl-
dent of the Ohio Cities Gas, who has
been abroad for several months in con-
nection with the company's foreign
business, is due back around the mid
die of the month.

Big Buying Power

That the readiustment has not run
its course is evident from the tense
ness of the money rate. The Stree,
has still to learn that such wild Sc
curity movements as havc occurred Of
late are not to be tolerated. There is
big buying power under tho market,
however, and reason to expect an order
ly advance which may produce a higher
price level before the close of the year.
