Credit for IreIands

Sir Horace Plunkett was the guest OF
honor at a luncheon rendered yesterday
by bankers at the Down Town Club and
some credulous financial reporters fell
for report that a credit for Ireland
had been arranged. At the risk Of hav-
ing one contemporary assert that such
credit had been consummated and an
other state that the negotiation of a
credit for ireland awaited the end OF
the Peace Conference. 1t was ventured
that the subject of an Irish credit was
not even discussed at the luncheon. As
a matter of fact, the question of credits,
whether private or under governmental
auspices, awaits the formal termination
of war. No doubt as soon as peace IL
concluded the countries most in need
OF reconstruction and rehabilitation, in
Guiding France and others. will arrange
credits in the United States, but at the
moment France has a large supply of
dollar funds in New York and there is
no need for the negotiation of credit,

United Cigar stores.

The confusion surrounding the re-
capitalization plan Of the United Cigar
Stores Company was the principal cause
OF the bear attack in the last hour yes
terday. In the morning, when the plan
was known only in a general way, the
stock was strong, but later in the day
there were heavy offerings and the close
was nearly 2 points lower than that of
Tuesday. The directors called a special
meeting Of the stockholders for April II
to consider a plan to increase the capital
stock from s3o.o00.0o0 to $4,000, 900.
This had been anticipated and much
buying had been done on the theory that
valuable subscription rights would ac-
crue. The failure Of the directors to
announce the plan under which the new
stock is to be issued was responsible for
the bad slump in the last hours Of the
session. The market was at loss to
understand whether the new stock would
be offered for subscription, given as a
stock dividend or what would be done
with 1t

The Steel Meeting.

Advices from Washington late yester-
day afternoon indicated that some work.
Ing basis had been established at the
conference between the steel producers
and the members of the Industrial
Board appointed by Secretary of Com
merce Redheld. The advices declared
that the steel men had withdrawn from
the conference into an executive session
to determine a fair schedule OF prices
for steel products. When this schedule
Is arrived at. II will probably be sub
mitted to the conference for approval.
This was considered likely to happen
either yesterday afternoon late or at
the resumption of the conference this
morning. In the meantime there was
very little activity in the steel shares
on the Stock Exchange Traders in the
issues seemed intent upon awaiting the
routcome of thu conference before making
any more commitments one way or the
other.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Cali Money Firmer.

Call money rose to per cent. for
mixed collateral and to 6h per cent.
for all Industrial in tho final hour yes
terday, the advance coinciding with pre-
dictions OF bankers that, on account of
tax payments, the Federal Reserve
Banks daily credit balance since last
Friday had averaged more than $780,
100000. The fact that the rise In call
loan rates was headed of until late
wednesday evidenced the generally, easy
credit position. At the higher rate ade-
quate funds were loaned by the institu-
lions which place money elsewhere when
rates are below per cent. Whether or
not tho rate will continue around the
per cent. level until the close Of the next
loan campaign depends TO large extent
upon ability OF interior banks TO send
funds to this centre. The rise yesterday
was due primarily to the calling Of loans
at the 4 per cent. and AZ per cent
rates by institutions on which drafts
for tax payments were unusually heavy

No Extra Marine Dividend.

A director OF the International Mer-
camille Marine Company yesterday
waved aside the suggestion that the
directors were contemplating an extra
disbursement on the stock. He said that
a meeting of the executive committee
had been held on Tuesday and that II
any action along that line were contem-
plated. it would in all likelihood have
been done at this time. There are no
new developments in the Marine situa-
tlon," he said. The situation is exactly
the same as II was when the stock was
selling at "a" On the strength of the
rumor that the Marine directors were
planning a big extra disbursement on
the stock, both the common and pre-
ferred issues turned upward with re-
markable ease yesterday and the heavy
short interest which has been fighting
the rise from below par was given sew
eral uneasy moments before the price
was allowed to decline to any extent.

French Exchange Firmer.

The rate OF exchange between New
York and Paris was firmer yesterday
sales being consummated at 5.6S. $50
and $40 francs to the dollar. The re-
action was n normal development in view
OF the extreme dscrf.e from 545 10 $40
on Monday. The whole furry in French
exchange was due to the relations be-
tween Paris and London, where the de-
cline of the franc in relation to sterling
was much greater relatively than the
decline in relation to the dollar. II the
French credit situation were really in as
serious a condition as has been repre-
sented In some quarters, the problem
would be attacked at once and a banker
who returned recently from France sug-
gested yesterday that President Wilson
might sign an executive order permitting
that country TO export to the United
States Immediately some $3.50. 900, 900

mate plans for the issuance OF warrants
to finance railroad needs. Dispatches
from washington play UP the advance
Of 100000 by the War Finance Cor
poration as the first for the purpose Of
assisting railroad finances, but the de-
tails show this to have been a unique

Clipped In TO loan funds to the Penn
sylvania Railroad. That money was
turned over to the Railroad Administra-
ton by the Pennsylvania in payment Of
borrowings, Notwithstanding the fact
that the railroad Is a large creditor OF
the administration. There was a string
to the transaction to the effect that the
funds would be used to llquidate debts
owed to industries along the lines Of the
