The Banking Situation.

To-day's bank statement is going to
reveal big Improvement In the bank
ing position. according to a prominent
official, on account of the heavy reduc-
ton in bank borrowings from the
Federal Reserve Bank, secured by
Government obligations The total of
bills discounted, as reported by the
Federal Reserve Bank last week, was
S61l, .2S9, a reduction of some $43,-
100000 from the preceding week. Dur
ing the current seven day period one
national bank alone in a single tweri','-
four hours paid Off $4,000, 900 of these
discounted bills and there were proper
tionate reductions on the part of all
OF the banking institutions which had
borrowed from the Federal Reserve
Bank The reduction OF these obligations
has been made possible by the whole
sale retirement of certificates of in
Sebted9eSk hys the United States Trea-
s1ry, a step forward as result 81 the
more comfortable position of the
Treasury, the payment of the Sep
TENDER. Is tnstalment of taxes, &c.
All OF the weeks enormous fiscal trans
actions have resulted in lowering the
call money rate for two days to per
cent. but Thursday in the late afternoon
the rate advanced to 5h per cent, and
II RULED all day yesterday at per
cent. This advance was due to the
use by the banks OF their funds in other
avenues, which gave them better com
pensation, as freer loans of tine money,
acceptance purchases and investment in
sound nearby maturities, as United
Kingdom notes and French Cities, which
mature on November /.

The Rise in Liberties.

While there has been noticed a fall
ing off in the amount of offerings of
Liberty bonds during the last ten days
the demand became SO insistent yester-
day as to cause one of the largest adj
vances in the Second Convertible Az 5
and the Fourth Az S thus far recorded.
The former sold as high as S942, a rise
of 81 a thousand, and the latter as high
as $941. rise Of $40 a thousand
There were more moderate advances
elsewhere in the list. When Secretary
Glass announced that the turn in the
tide Of governmental expenditures had
come. the Treasury officials predicted
an increase In the market value of
Liberties and this prediction is being
aided by an increasing ease In the
money market. The Yields on Liberties
are still relatively attractive and pro-
vlded there is a continuance OF easy
money conditions further advances in
Government issues are to be expected.
Bond men were much pleased yesterday
over the growing demand for Liberties,
which are going into permanent invest
ment hands and they express no hesita-
ton In advising investment purchases
of the Government issues.

GRAFTON Of Labor turned In the last half
hour what had been an irregular to n

however, that there was nearly an en-
tire absence Of liquidation and the total
volume of trading for the day did not
much exceed 100000 shares. There were
several strong spots in which certain
issues made net gains for tho day, but
the tone at the close was weak. AS a

The steels Decline.

All Of the steel issues declined from

was soft. Reports that could not be
confirmed were that President Wilson
had sent an emissary to Judge Gary to
persuade him to confer. with the labor
element ard that the steel chairman had
refused to change the attitude expressed
in his letters. If these reports are true
there seems to be nothing to stand in
front of a walkout at midnight on Sum
day night Judging from the market
experts in the steel trade are confident
regarding the outcome and there has
been no evidence of urgent liquidation

for the bond market were better than
they had been In a long time. He
pointed out that bonds OF virtually every
type, not excluding Liberties. have been
at the lowest points in many a day
and characterized them as the great
est bargains in Wall Street to-day"
Now It appears a large number OF in
surance companies and other large In
vestcrs in Liberties and Victories have
completed their payments on the sub

eminent war issues and, 1t is expected,
will soon be In the market for bonds
