Call money rates during the
present week have shown con-
tinuous downward tendency, until
yesterday loans on a mixture of
industrial and railroad collateral
were made mainly at a 1-2 per cent,
and declined in the afternoon to
d a. The influence which caused
the rate to soar to per cent near
ly two weeks ago was not the stock
market, but government financial
operations, and government fnan-
cial operations are probably the
leading influence now. Bankers
say they are the key to the present
call money market. Heavy Treas
ury Withdrawals one day, deposits
a few days later-these factors
control the supply of funds which
the banks have to lend to the stock
market. Present tax payments
give the government money for de-
posit. 1t is the uncertainty of
what the government will do from
day to day which makes the banks
hesitant in predicting the next
days rates. But the long-run ten
dency, until the Liberty loan is
out of the way, is more likely to
be upward than downward. For
every fortnight the banks are called
upon to take an additional issue of
Treasury certificates Of indebted
ness. They already hold about
$4,000,000,000. When bank
buys these securities it does not
pay for them in cash. 1t merely
writes Il deposit for an equivalent
amount on it's books. To that ex-
tent it has created money out Of
nothing. But Withdrawals are con-
stantly made against those deposits,
and the banks have got to hold big
reserves to meet Withdrawals,
That is what makes money tight"

Glass AbandOns
Plan TO Fund and
Sell Allied Debt
Secretary Believes Demoral-
iZatiOn of Investment Mar
kcts Would Result From
Flotation, Bankers Say

Carter Glass, Secretary Of the Treas
ury, has definitely abandoned his plan
to fund the Allied obligations held by
the United States and sell the securi-
ties, bearing the guarantee of the
American government, in the open mar
ket. New York bankers were advised
of this fact yesterday.
The plan has been abandoned by the
Treasury, it was learned in Wall Street,
because it was found by the Secretary
after careful survey of the situation
that the unloading Of such a huge mass
of high interest bearing securities in
the open market would demoralize the
whole investment structure, resulting
in serious depreciation in the valua-
tion of investments carried by savings
banks and other similar institutions.
AS proposed, the plan would entail
the issuance of new foreign govern
ment securities in small denominations
to the amount of the obligations held
in the Treasury against the advances
made to the Allied nations. These Sc
curities would bear the guarantee Of
the United States, both as to principal
and interest. he rate OF interest on
such securities, the bankers have said,
would have to be more than per cent,
and probably around S u per cent.
If, as has been proposed, the total
Allied debt to the United States gov
ernment were refunded in this fashion
it would mean the issuance of approxi-
mately $8,675, 100000 of new securi-
ties. This amount, the bankers have
told the Treasury, could not be abb
sorbed by the investment market with
out causing the liquidation of huge
amounts of outstanding corporate Sc
curities held by investors, who would
see the advantage of selling the same
and buying the new foreign securities
bearing the United States guarantee.
Bankers asserted yesterday that the
only manner in which a great mass of
these new securities could be sold
would be to extend the distribution
over long period of years. The aban-
donment of the scheme by Secretary
Glass, as indicated by private advices
from Washington, means that the obl-
cations of the Allied nations will be
held in the Treasury as at present, for
the time being at least

Appoint Coethals to
Investigate Cuba Sugar

General George w. Goethals and two
associates have been selected by the
executive committee of the Cuba Cane
Sugar Corporation to make an inves-
tigation Of the affairs Of the company.
The appointment of General Goethals,
yesterdays announcement stated, has
the approval Of Henry Evans, president
of the Continental Insurance Company,
who recently opposed the plan of the
management to issue $25,00O000 new
bonds to pay off outstanding bank
loans.
The board of directors OF the Cuba
Cane Sugar Corporation is expected
to ratify the action of the executive
committee at meeting tomorrow.
The company's annual report, issued
recently, disclosed current liabilities
in excess of $20,000,000.

ReserveBank Surplus Larger
Amendment Results in Large
Increase


WASHINGTON, March 5-Amend-
ment of the Federal Reserve act by
the Congress just adjourned has re-
suited in increasing from 2,739, 900
to $49,46S $40 the combined surplus of
the twelve Federal Reserve banks, said
a Reserve Board statement to-day.
The law before amendment provided
that after payment of expenses and
dividends, one-half of the net earn
ings of the banks should be paid into
the government as franchise tax and
the remaining half, up to 40 per cent
of their paid in capital, could be re-
tanned by the banks as surplus. AS
amended, the law permits the Federal
Reserve banks to retain as surplus
their net earnings, including those for
1918, up to 100 per cent of their sub
scribcd capital and 10 per cent there
after

Swedish Banker Sails for L. S.

DIR. Ignatius, representative Finnish
banker and former member of the Su-
preme Court of Finland, has sailed for
the United States, according to ad-
vices received by New York bankers
yesterday. He is coming here on an
economic and financial mission, the
bankers stated, which will probably
result in closer relations between the
United States and Finland. Bankers
said it was not improbable that Dr.
Ignatius might seek to open credits
here for Finnish account.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-06

Odd-lot houses have been expert
encing in recent weeks great
rush of small holders to dispose of
their Liberty bonds. It is hard to
learn the reason: whether there
people fear a further decline of
their bonds, whether they think
that their money is no longer need
ed with the war over, and want to
use it for more or less extrava-
giant expenditure, or whether they
really need the money. One odd
lot house has tried to discourage
this selling as much as possible, and
has offered to lend, for instance,
$85 against a bond that sells for
$95, allowing the holder to pay it
back in small instalments. The
house figures that this will encour
age thrift; for bond once turned
into money leads to dissipation of
the money. But it's advice has had
little effect.

Still further ease was manifest in
the call money market yesterday
Rates opened and loans were renewed
at Y per cent for the first time in a
fortnight. Toward the end of the day
the rate declined further to Az per
cent. Rates on all-industrial collateral
were u of l per cent higher than this.
The ease in call rates is attributed to
the return of funds to the banks
through government operations.

this one piece of wisdom: When

ing is always better than the SELL
ing.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-06

The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling, say, ut $4.75% The intrinsic
parity is $4.86% per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with which

Finance - Economics

Wall Street had more time to
think over the meaning of the fail
ure of Congress to pass the $780,
100000 appropriation for the rail-
roads, and it received a little more
information from the Director Gen
eral. The government still did not
contemplate turning the railroads
back to their owners. That was
reassuring But the Director Cen
eral also said that the railroad
administration was confronted
with the necessity for the adop-
tion of radically different methods
of dealing with it's financial prob
lens; that he was mot prepared
at the moment to outline specific
plans,' but that "thc very diff
cultics themselves will result in OBJ
tanning the patriotic cooperation
Of all business interests involved.
including the railroad corporations
and equipment companies and
other producers Of material and
bankers" The inclusion of all
these interests in the statement i'm
piled that in being asked to "co-
operate" they would be called upon
to make some temporary sacrifice,
ultimately in their own interests.
The Director General also intimat-
cd that the War Finance Cor
poration would help. Doubtless
some plan can be worked out and
the railroads will manage to get
along, but an atmosphere of uncer-
tainty has been created, which is
never good for security markets.
Mere uncertainty in itself seldom
leads to a great deal of selling, but
it holds back buying; so that what
selling there is has much greater
effect.
1t is assumed that this uncer-
tainty will lead to retrenchment
of purchases. That will react on
steel and equipment companies.
To be sure, the railroads needs
will merely accumulate during the
period that purchases are held off,
but this period may prolong the
deadlock in the iron and steel mar
kets and may have its effect on
other prospective buyers. In fact,
judging by some of the comment
yesterday, one would be tempted
to think that the Street expected
the steel and equipment issues to
suffer more by the Senate's action
than the railroads themselves.

Drama a
Testimonial Performance of the
Fidelity League Given at
the Century
By Haywood Broun

The Actors Fidelity League gave
its first testimonial performance at
the Century Theatre last night. The
bill was a long one and it would be
difficult to pick feature, as among
the performers who appeared were
such we'll known players as La Sylphe
Mrs. Fiske, Jane Green and Jimmie
Blyler, Willie Collier, Mary Eaton and
Lou Lockett, George NJ. Cohan and
Godfrey Stein.
The second half Of the bill was de-
voted TO the interesting experiment
Of presenting number Of stars who
were popular generation ago in
scenes selected from the quaint old
plays Of their day. In this series, for
instance, New York playgoers had an
opportunity to renew acquaintance
with Thomas E. Shea, julia Arthur,
Amelia Bingham, Ralph Herr, Edna
Wallace Hopper and others who arc
now seen only rarely on the New York
stage. There were also a number of
veterans who are still with US, such
actors as Burr Mcintosh, f. II.
Sothern, Otis Skinner, Howard Kyle,
Henry Miller, Louis Mann and many
others.

On the Screen
Comedy Week at the Rialto,
With Matrimony as Motif
of Programme
By Harriette Underhill

1t is comedy week at the Rivoli,
therefore Hugo Resented selectea q
matrimony as the motif for his pro-
gramme. The feature is Bryant Wash
burn in "Why Smith Left Home.' 1t
IS followed by "Why Divorce" with
Mr.. and Mrs. Carter De Haven.
Across the street at the Strand they
are also boosting the marriage game
There the feature picture is Goldwyn
Almost Husband" with Will Rog-
ers in the title role.
1t seems difficult to imagine Will
Rogers as the hero, but they get
around this by saying "Look at 'en.
The homeliest man and the prettest
girl in the state getting married.''
and probably Rogers wrote this title
himself. In fact, we suspect him of
having written all the titles. They
sound as though he might have die
tated them as he swung the lariat
around, which means that they arc
good titles.
Opie Reed wrote the story for Rogers
1t isn't so much of story. but il has
new twist, sort of inverted plot,
where the hero and heroine marry in
the first reel and spend the next four
IN eludng people who are trying to
separate them. There are two kinds of
plots, principally lly--those where solic-
ltous and kindly intentoned persons are
trying to marry the girl ard the man
and those where interfering persons
are endeavoring to separate .hem.
These latter may be just as we'll nten-
toned, but the parties of the first and
SECOND part never take it that way.
So it was with Sam Lyman and his
wife. His WAS q marriage Of mad
. vertehcc. He was at surprise party,
and for Il forfeit Eva McElwyn was
forced to marry him. After the cere-
mony, however, the young divinity stu
dent announced that he had been or
dained that morning and that it was a
regular marriage.
1t seemed too painless to be real ane.
the solution seemed painless, too. "Just
sign petition or else Sam must stay
out of the state for year. Wonder
what state that can be!
But Sam was not to be thWarted. and
after we saw him stop that raid on the
bank we knew he wouldn't easily relin-
quish sthe girl he had been gazing at
over the fence for SO long.
In spite of all Will Rogers's gloomy
forebodings when he went on the screen
he has done excellent work. He has
the sort Of simple, direct nature which
photographs we'll. Yes, we mean just
that
Peggy Wood is seen as the girl, and
she is we'll suited to the part Her
bert Standing is the hard-hearted
father. The picture was directed BY
Clarence Badger.
