The New Loan Terms.

Bankers, who are particularly close to
Washington and who may be depended
upon to keep their ears to the ground
most of the time, say that the interest
rate for the new loan has been tenta-
lively fixed in conference and Is likely
to be announced soon. The loan, as
previously announced, will comprise the
offering OF two classes of securities by
the Government The first of these, so
the bankers hear, will be five year notes
not tax exempt, with interest at AZ per
cent. security expected to fit the
pocketbooks of persons in moderate cir
cumstances. The second class, expected
by the bankers. will be Of shorter matur-
ity-probably from to . years-and
draw interest at the rate of 80 per cent
These are expected to prove attractive to
the investors of large sums. There has
been some grumbling in the financial dis
trict because the rates have not been an
nounced. but the Secretary of the Treas
ury holds the belief that 1t would be an
unwise move to publieh. almost month
away, the terms on which the securities
are to be issued. because OF the posi-
bility of a great change in the security
market in the meanwhile-sa change
great enough even TO warrant change
In the interest rate Of the bonds or notes.

The Steel Figures.

The actual figures OF the United States
Steel Corporations business Of 1918. al
though they have been the market
property for a couple OF days. were the
centre OF attraction again yesterday.
Their very magnitude, coupled with the
explanatory statements made by Judge
Gary In connection with the report, have
not ceased to be the basis of considerable
bullish talk, so far as steel Ia concerned.
The outstanding feature In the maze or
figures presented was the working CAPT
tai, which stood at S4S5. 354,6O0. against
s459,645,S15. an Increase for the year OF
$25,70S.7S6. and setting new high rec
ord for the company. This amounts to
something like $?5 share. Another IA
vorable point was the growth in mar
ketable securities from $233.oOO,O0O to
s277 100000. The trade outlook natur-
ally il. and will be, befogged by much
uncertainty until the period Of readjust-
ment shall have passed, but 70 far as
this particular steel company's position
Is concerned, there is no uncertainty

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
The Public W.. wall street.

the market IL as wide open Just now as

sionals, meaning those operators In Wall
Street who handle the bulk OF transact
tons, anticipate further reaction which
at least will act as q brake on the mar
lset for few days. give the opportunity
for profit taking, shake out weakly held
accounts. and. In general. clear the stu
alton. The market letters. in most cases,
reflect this judgment and II la passed
along assiduously by word Of tmouth.
Hut glance at the ticker tape shows
that the public which is interested in

buys stocks In sufficient volume to post
pone at least the expected reaction. One
reason advanced IL that the general pub
lie always takes the long side that It Is
fat with war wages and war brought
prosperity, and that II can see no good
reason for the brakes to 30 on now that
the movement Is we'll started.

NIidyaIe steel.

The significance OF the Midvale Steel
Company's annual report. like that OF
the report of United states Steel lies
in the firm manner in which the COM
pany Is eatrenched with liquid assets, as
sets that are sufficiently elastic to be
used In emergencies and which. barring
these emergencies, form the bulwarks OF
the companys position. MidVale, ac-
cording to its annual report, has cash
of Ss,4264S6 Liberty bonds and certth-
Gates OF indebtedness OF s23s5S,o6S !;
British gold notes of s13,26S.00o; Anglo
French notes OF s1s4,2s5, and other
securities valued at $l.1s6.-
0sl. The report shows current assets OF
$I2O,74a.16s and current liabilities or
S2s,7l4.7s5, leaving a working capital of
$91 .O84,ss3 a gain OF $1s.S36,43d COM
pared with the twelve month period
Midvale's report also shows that II made
no mistake in the purchase OF Cambria
around $50 share. Cambria's earn
ings, since the purchase, have almost
equalled the purchase price.

market until after the sale of the Fifth
Government loan. An estimate of the
credit requirements of European coun-
tries for the next three years has been
received by cable by the large banks. and
II Is probable that this estimate, as yet
unavailable for publication. will receive
the attention OF the bankers OF the
country when they meet at the Metro
politan Club on April 2. 1t is generally
agreed among the bankers that TO do
business abroad the United States must
either buy foreign securities or extSnd
acceptance credits. 1t Is within the
range of possibilities that at the April 2
meeting a committee will be named to
allot to every foreign country the amount
available here for the purchase of for
