Capital of $llO,OOO,OOO

The Remington Arms-Union Metallic
Cartridge Company is to be reorganized
INTO new concern, which, in addition
to acquiring the business of the present
Connecticut corporation, will take over
several other concerns manufacturing
products other than fremarms and
munitions. The first step in the ex
panslon program was taken yesterday
when the Remington Arms COMPANY
riled a charter at Dover, Del. with an
authorized capital of S11O,OOO,OOO. It
tls understood that among the com
Ipanles to be acquired will be a num-

ldentifed with the readjustment
scheme, will consist of sl0o 900 900

ient outstanding capitalization of $50
ooo,oOO, consisting of $4,000, 900 com

IN enlarging its business to include
cutlery the management is carving
out plans contemplated since the close
OF the war for engaging in the manu-
toSeuAS VI PedCe-llH2 products. Dur
ing the war the company at its plants
at bridgeport, Conn, and Iion, n. y,
made vast quantities of small arms
cartridges and other ammunition for
the United States and foreign govern
ments.
The present Remington Arms Union
Metallic Cartridge Company was incor-
porated January IT, 1916, to take over
the business and assets Of the Reming-
ton Arms & Ammunition Company. the
Union Metallic Cartridge Company and
the Robin Hood Ammunition Company.
In 1915 the Remington Arms & AM
munition Company erected a new brick
and steel plant at Bridgeport at a cost
of $l2,0O0,O00. This factory comprises
thirteen main buildings, twelve service
buildings. five forge shops and a big
power house.

Progressive Discount Rates

The Dallas Federal Reserve Bank has
followed the example Of the regional
bank at Kansas City and introduced
progressive discount rates to curb over
exponsion Of the credit structures. The
Dallas system provides for an advance
OF = of ! per cent for each % per
cent increase in discounts beyond the
normal line of credit established for
each member bank. An exception, how
ever. is made of discounts secured by
government war obligations owned by
member banks on April l, which will re-
celve the same rates as heretofore. The
subject of progressive discount rates.
which was recently authorized by an
amendment to the Federal Reserve act,
has been discussed in this district, but,
since the adoption of the new system
Is optional and the need for it here is
not seen, it is unlikely that it will be
introduced in New York in the near
future.

$283,830. This surplus is at the rate
of about $35 a share on the 10000

Still Bearish

Despite the recent heavy liquidation
of securities, Benjamin Block, of Block,
Maloney & Co., still fails to see any
reason which would induce financial
interests to accumulate stocks at this
time. "This business readjustment will
go much further, in my opinion. and
may be in proportion to the great in
fiation we have had. Non-essental in
dustries must slow down and essentials
must speed up. The railroad blockade
is still bad, few raw materials and lit
tie fuel being available. This will show
up in very poor earnngs-a thing the
stock market is discounting. New York
banks, in trying to help others, are
down to s7,0Oo,oOO surplus-a danger
Gus low point and prohib ibitive of stock
market expansion. Add to this the
unsettlng of confidence by the political
campaign, and the menacing attitude of
labor, with another longshoremen's
strike threatened-I see every reason
TOR selling stock and none for buying
them"

. Six Per Cent Renewal Rate

For the first time since April 12
call money renewed on the Stock Ex-
change yesterday at 6 per cent. This
rate has been touched previously on
only fifteen days this year, namely,
five days in January, FIVE days in Feb
ruary and five days in April. One of
the interesting sidelights in connec-
tion with yesterdays opening rate was
that leading national bank, which
has been in the habit of keeping its
renewal rate slightly above the official
rate on the exchange, dropped its rate
to per cent. This comparatively low
rate was maintained throughout the
stock market session in the face of
expectations that the government
would withdraw approximately $751;
100000 from the banks to-day. 1t is
believed, however, that no further call
for funds will be made this week by
the Treasury Department.

Money and Credit

Call money renewed at per cent for
the first time since April 12. The
low opening rate was attributed to the
fact that last week a large amount Of
funds was left unloaned on the Stock
Exchange despite the continued scar
city Of loans on time. Government
Withdrawals to-day are expected to
take approximately $16,000,000 from

petition for closing the exchange

FOR IDENTIFICATION OF ROAD
Praiseworthy Idea Is That of Planting
Trees in Streets of the Vari-
Gus Cities.

Now comes Charles LathrOp Pack,
president of the American Forestry
association, who urges the beautifca-
ton of roads. Mr. Pack suggests that
we, cease building monuments for at
least ten years, until the proper per-
spective can be given the situation,
and that all the roads of the country,
old and new, be planted in honor of
the men and women who entered war
work. He also suggests that counties
work out plans for the placing of
groves, so that we may in time have
a national extended memorial.
The suggestion has been taken up in
many parts of the country. A unique
instance is the work of the people of
Minneapolis, who are planning as far
ahead as 1851. Trees are being
trained there for so years hence, the
American elm, OF the vase type, Delns
used A fund of $4,000 has been set
aside for the care of these trees. Mr..
c. NJ Loring is the chief of the park
system of Minneapolis, and this sum
Is his contribution to the memorial.
The trees will be planted 60 feet apart.
Other cities are also alive to what
can be done in this work. Washington
plans to have a driveway between
Potomac and Rock Creek parks, and
memorial tree planting is under dis
cuSsion there. In Cincinnati, a boule-
ward starting in the downtown Sec
ton may be improved in this manner.

Concerning the Garden.

The delights Of garden don't need
classifying, but some of the difficult
ties do. The first is to find the right
place in which to make the garden.
1t should be in locality where the
sun will shine on 1t for at least five
hours each bright day. 1t should not
be where the soil Is SO thin and the
rocks SO near the surface that the
garden will burn out during the sum-
mer. 1t should not be under or near
large trees; the trees will not only
keep the sun off, but will draw all
the moisture and plantfood from the
soil. Nor must the garden be In a
spot that gets flooded.

community's Benefactor.

The man who owns an attractive
home large or small, is a real bene-
factor to the community. He is par
ticularly fortunate If he can build the
house himself. Then he can say with
satisfaction. "When | am gone at
least | shall have left a monument
in the shape Of this house. The town
is more attractive than 1t would have
been If | had not built my home here"
