London Still Supreme?

A. Barton Hepburn, chairman of the
advisory board of the Chase National
Bank, does not believe that New York
will displace London as the worlds
financial centre. "New York, of
course" says the banker in the month
ly magazine of the Chase bank, sis the
financial centre Of this hemisphere
and likely to continue so. New York
will experience great difficulty, how
ever, in displacing London as a world
financial centre. 1t requires some
thing more than financial strength,
tangible and latent resources, to con-
stitute financial centre. All this
power must be supplemented by an
ability to do world business, which
implies the understanding of the
worlds business, it's wants, its wishes,
its idiosyncrasies, its way of doing
business" Mr.. Hepburn holds the
opinion that hereafter the business of
the world instead of concentrating, as
in the past, will find several financial
centres. The effect of the war, he
thinks, will be to decentralize financial
power and distribute it in a greater
degree throughout the leading COM
mercial nations.

No Pressure to Sell

Brokers said early in the day that
there was apparently no pressure to
sell stocks. That condition prevailed
throughout the session. This scarcity
of offerings made it more difficult for
the traders who were short of stocks
to cover their commitments; and as
prices stiffened as the day progressed
the purchases for the short account
became more active until in the clos
ing hour a real scramble developed.
This buying sent Steel common up 2h
points to 1O7h, while Bethlehem Steel
common ran forward 3a4 to S9M. Bald
win Locomotive rose from 1922 to
1097s, and closed 61s points up at
1O4A. United States Rubber common,
which displayed pronounced weakness
on the decline of Monday, jumped 14$s
points to 1915, being at the close
within half a dozen points of its re-
cent high record. Railway issues dis
played an improved tone, but failed to
keep pace with the fast moving indus
trials

ance, it was said yesterday at quarters

Since Rafaelo Nieto, Acting Secretary
OF Finance, returned from this city
where he conferred with leading bank,

ton by mail with the New York finan-
ciers.
No definite action is expected until
the fall, as before Carranza can do
anything he needs authority from Con.
gress and he will not submit his pron-
osition until the next regular session
which starts on September /. Unless
the political situation in Mexico il
satisfactory to American banking and
governmental authorities, the Whole

Percival S. Hill, president of the

the continuation of normal reaction
from an oversold condition. A short
interest of large proportions was built
up or Mondays break. The buying late
Tuesday and throughout the session
yesterday represented to large extent
the covering operations of traders who
had sold stocks for the fall and were
now closing the account and taking
their profits. The test of whether the
market is to swing upward again or
have a further decline will come when
the short interest has been reduced
Professional traders in the Street look
for still lower prices, for it is felt the

ruble reached it's lowest point here
