Baldwin Locomotive

The feature of an otherwise dull mar
ket was Baldwin Locomotive, which adj
vanced 6A points net to 113 on dealings
in excess of $4,000 shares. Baldwin's
action brought a revival of the story
that the long awaited reorganization of
the company was close at hand. 1t was
stated in a number of the larger broker
age houses that the plan would be an
nounced some time this week 1t has
been reported off and on for many
months that the management planned
to sell the company's valuable property
in Philadelphia, transferring the busi-
ness to the Eddystone plant. At the same
time it has been said that reorganiza-
tion was contemplated involving the con-
solidation of the Baldwin subsidiaries,
a new company to be formed. The
stocks of the new company would be
exchanged, according to the report, to
the present holders of Baldwin Loco
motive on a basis of three or four
shares of the new for one share of the
old. The report has persisted so long
that the Street is beginning to think
there really is something in it. 1t is
generally expected that whatever is
done the Baldwin stockholders will be
given a portion of the company's large
profits of recent years in the form Of
dividends.

International Credit Situation

international bankers here freely adj
nit that Europe feels that the interest
rate that American investors seek on
loans to the Old World is excessive
But financiers here explain that the
rate on foreign credits cannot go
down as long as domestic corporations
of excellent credit standing offer
bonds yielding more than 6 per cent
A leading investment banker said yes
terday that he thought American in
stitutons were now paying too much,
and that Europeans, in view of their
present credit standing, were inclined
to want to pay too little. The situa-
ton was described as an irreconcila-
BILE conflict, which is one of the fac
tors tending to hold up foreign
financing on a comprehensive scale.
The high rate paid on domestic issues
is attributed by investment bankers
largely to the high taxation in this
country, which takes away large
proportion of the return to the in
vestor.

France Is Recovering
Rapidly, Banker Says
Rapid Retirement of Trade
Acceptances Sign of Restora-
ton of Normal Conditions

France is rapidly returning to a nor
NAL condition, financially and economi-
cally, according to Baron Jacques de
NcutilZc, representative of the Bank of
France in the United States, who is in
this country in connection with plans
tor the extension of credits to French
interests.
In discussing the situation in France
in the current number of "The Street"
Baron de Neuflizc says that receipts of
the French government from taxation,
which amounted to 100000 900 francs
and SO6,000,000 francs in April and
May respectively, increased to 944.-
100000 francs in June, despite the fact
that Alsace-Lorraine and the north of
France are yielding only a fraction
of their normal share. AS a result
OF this increase the Baron believes
that taxation in France will have to
be increased only one half instead of
being doubled, as Was predicted last
January.
Economically" says Baron de Neu-
hize, "France is settling down and
going to work in normal way. AS an
instance of the rejuvenation of the
French trade and credit, out of 6,OOO.
100000 francs worth of trade accept
ances outstanding in August, 1914,
when the moratorium was declared,
all but S00,000000 francs have already
been paid and half of this is expected
to be paid in the near future with a
loss of only per cent"

Rubber Company, yesterday notified
stockholders that Kuhn, Loeb G. Co.

common stock soon to be issued under
the recent authorization of the direc-
tors for an increase in first preferred

and in common stock from $40,000,000
to $2OO,000,000. The stockholders will

Mr.. Colt said that the money from
the increased issue of stock would be
used for the following purposes:
(I To pay off all current indebted
ness that can be paid.
(2) For new construction planned
and in progress, designed principally
for the increase of the product of auto
mobile and truck tires.
go For extension of rubber planta-
carrying Of stock under protit-sharing
Tor benefit of our employees.
In the opinion of your chairman"
Mr.. Colt says to stockholders in
letter sent out yesterday, "the new
capital will in every way strengthen
the company, and the fact that it is
paid in through increase of the junior
security common stock) is to put so
much more property back of the
senior securities, and thus materially
strengthen the preferred stock.
VIII Benefit Company
"The direct benefit to the company
that will result from the use of this
money for the extension of its busi-
ness will far exceed the amount of
the regular dividend at the proposed
rate OF per cent to be paid upon
the new common stock"
w. q. Parsons, controller of the COM
pany, announced that the net earnings
of the company for the six months
from January l to June 80, after de-
Quoting all interest charges and after
allowing for depreciation, Federal
taxes and reserves, were S10,S15,75O.
The consolidated balance sheet as

servative valuations, and, as indicated
therein. adequate reserve has been
made for depreciation of property
and plants" according to Mr.. Colt.

be permitted to pay in cash or on the

Last Cotton Crop
Worth Two Billions,
I'll. G.. Hester Reports
Secretary of New Orleans
Exchange Says Dearth of
Goods Enables Mills to
Name Their Own Prices

Americas 1918-19 crop Of COM
mercial cotton, including the cotton
seed obtained as a by-product, reached
the breaking value of $685.
251, 1868, according to the annual report
of Henry G. Hester, secretary Of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
The value of the 11,6396 bales Of
cotton produced was $1,710,715 5,068; the
value Of cottonseed was $334,536,-
800.
The average commercial value per
bale of lint cotton was $155.14, COM
pared with $147.39 the preceding year
and $9482 in 1916. The value per bale
in 1914-'15 was $41.O4. That was the
period when the "buy bale" Of cot
ton movement was inaugurated to tide
the Southern cotton grower over the
lean times early in the war.
Small Exports
During the past year, up to the close
of March, the total exports of cotton
from the United States were only $685.
600 bales. while the seasons total has
reached 5,6S8,000, showing that during
the four months ending July 81 last g.
100000 bales were cleared from Ameri-
can ports, or 81 per cent of the whole,
while the clearances for the same pc
bales.
The report estimates the carry over
of cotton-that is, the unsold staplc-at
6,S24,00 bales, against 4,222 900 bales
the preceding year. The total held in
the interior cotton belt at the end of
July was 3,574,000 bales, compared with
2,1S4,0 200 bales year ago. European
port stocks were 1,24S,000 bales, COM
pared with $4,000 year ago.
-
cotton manufacturing centres the re-
port states: "Unsettled labor condi-
tions and labor shortage, reduced work
ing hours and inetliciency or inditfer-
ence of help, were the prime factors in
the decrease of consumption of lint
cotton, though in the South quite a
number of mills lost time from the in
tluenZa.
Dearth of Goods
"There is a dearth of manufactured
goods the world over, and regardless Of
the cost of material, the mills have
recently been able to name their own
prices. In fact prices for cotton fabrics
were said to be on higher level than
ever before in the history Of the in
dustry. AS one writer in the Eastern
mill section puts it, there is no ques-
ton that the mills now have all and
more than they can do and it is Just
a question of spindle capacity, re-
strlcted only by the labor supply and
decrease in working hours"
Mill takings of American cotton in
the United States last year aggregated
5,sSS,O0O bales, compared with 7,090,-
600 bales the year before, a decrease of
1902 900 bales.
Total world consumption of American
cotton in the year ended july 81
amounted to 1O,62o 900 bales, compared
with 12,292000 bales the preceding year
and 1882, 900 bales in 1916-I7.

Expect Co0pcration

There are signs that industrial lead
ers are becoming more aroused to the
question of financial aid for Europe
than they were when plans for pooling
Amerlca's lending resources were for
mulated several months ago. Many of
the basic industries interested in for
egn trade have sent special represent
atlves to Europe to report TO them on
conditions and are nearer a policy in
regard to sales to Europe than they
We're a. any previous time since the
armistice was signed. An international
banker said yesterday that, although it
seemed unlikely that all the export
units would work through one central
organization at first, as contemplated
in the so-called Div sion plan. export
ers of kindred commodities would un-
doubtedly cooperate closely with one
another.

A Surplus of Call Money

For the first time in many weeks
the amount of call money being Of
tered by the banks to stock exchange
borrowers is in excess of the demands.
This is situation that has developed
since the fall in stock market prices
last week. 1t is because the slowing
down of speculation has made it. possi-
bic for brokerage houses to curtail their
borrowings. On Monday and again
yesterday several millions of dollars
placed by the banks in the hands of
money brokers to put out on call were
not taken when the end of the day
came. That is great change from a
fortnight ago, when there was hardly
house in the Street that was not
scrambling for credit and willing to
pay any rate almost for accommodation.

10 Settle India's
Balances in Gold
Significance of New Rupee Rate
Level Explained by Guaranty
Trust COMPANY

The fixing of the rupee at the new
level shilling 10 pence (about ii
cents), as announced Monday by Basil
?. Blackett, representative of the
British Treasury here, constitutes not
only an official recognition of the in
trlnslc worth Of the silver contents of
the Indian coin, but also marks an at
tempt on the part of Great Britain to
settle lndias balances in gold. in lieu
OF silver, according to an interpreta-
tlon of the change made by the Guar
anty Trust Company.
The net effect of this on the silver
markets" according to a statement is
sued by the bank, sis the elimination
OF India as purchasing factor, and
reduces the world demand for silver
by an amount corresponding to India's
normal consumption"
In sketching the reasons for the ad-
Justment the bank says:
Large anti-British Hindoo contin-
gents, and notably the Bengalese, are
using tn" silver rupee as political
weapon-persistingly refusing to ac-
~ Nte A"PSS HOtSS vi SleIlluR GREATS IN
commercial transactions. This causes
constant embarrassment to the Brit
ish authorities, who, on the one hand
lind 1T :nconvenient to purchase the
little silver available at the high pres
ent day quotations, and on the other
difficult to overcome the Oriental's de-
mand for the metal with which his
prosperity has been linked by ages of
custom and tradition.
The scarcity of silver stocks
throughout the world, the decreased
production of the white metal and its
high market price, have rendered it
difficult, not to say impossible, for
Great Britain to settle in silver the
balance in favor of India. The only
alternative left was to find a new level
for the rupee, and the India govern
ment, in further fixing its value, has
loaned to that coin greater gold pur-
chasing power, hoping thereby to slim
ulatc India imports and ultimately re-
versing the trade balance. This is be-
ing done at the expense of the India
exporter, the price of whose goods are
being automatically marked up, there
by dlscCuraglng imports"

A Dull Market

Stock market trading initiative yes
terday came almost wholly from pro-
fessional operators. Outside participa-
tion was the smallest in months Stocks
made moderate recoveries early. then
became irregular, with an indefinite
trend. The market apparently was
waiting for a new lead. 1t was such a
market as usually follows severe
decline in prices, leaving holders of
stock uncertain which way to turn.
Stock Exchange opinion is ultra con-
servative at the moment. Most houses
frankly admit their inability to judge
the market, although many observers
are of the opinion that the rise has re-
ccived a serious check from which it
will take long while to recover.
