Commercial Credits

Commercial banks are reported to
be making but little progress in the
reduction of the amount of money out
on business loans. In many cases the
bankers find that the calling in Of q
loan viii throw the borrower into
bankruptcy, or at least throw him into
the hands of his creditors. In this
manner the banks are being forced to
carry some of their clients through the
present period of depression and dull
trading, according to prominent com
mercial banker. One of the largest
financial institutions in New York,
with four branches in addition to its
main Office, has succeeded in bringing
down the amount of its loans in only
one branch. In this particular branch
outstanding loans have been reduced
about % per cent since the latter part
Of April

Steel Industry Fears
Further Curtailrnent
Only Unexpected Relief From
Rail Tie-up Can Save Stu
alton. Is Belief

Only unexpected Improvement in the
rail congestion at Pittsburgh in the
near future can prevent further cur
taiment of operations by steel plants,
according to the weekly summary of
The Iron Age" The weeks develop
ments at Chicago have also been un-
favorable, it is said, the strike at the
Illinois coal mines bringing on another
fuel crisis.
The Pennsylvania railroads embargo
at Pittsburgh on East and West ship
ments has made no impression on the
blockade there, it is contended, and the
Donora works are now added to the
plants there pihng up semi-hnished
products. indicating that accumula-
tions of finished steel have about
reached the limit
Business has shown a slight de-
preston, it is said, except in rails and
track supplies, cold rolled STEEL wire
and pipe. Smaller operations are in
dicated in the autmobolie field, with
decline in demand for trucks The
users to defer buying or to cancel
orders. Mills have been asked in some
instances to delay deliveries.
The Iron Trade Review" will say
to-day: Traffic officials will go to
Washington this week to ask that all
open top cars with sides up to forty
inches, instead of thirty-six inches, be
made available for iron and steel ship
ments. The imminence of a 80 to 40
Per cent increase in freight rates is
foreshadowed only by a noticeable
hesitation in placing future business
until definite figures on shipping costs
are known. Shortage of coke at fur
naces, situation further complicated
by transportation difficulties, is con-
trlbuting to a runaway market"

Fur Sales Uncertain
Some Stores May Abandon
Regular August Event

The August retail fur sales, which
mad their inception several years ago
IN the Middle West and which since
have spread throughout the whole
country, are proceeding IN a halting
manner this year. A few stores al
ready have started these midsummer
sales Of strictly winter goods and re-
ports concerning their success vary
greatly.
Some stores have eliminated the
august sales this year in view of the
uncertainties concerning the stability
o. present fur prices, while still others,
npotably in st. Louis, Pittsburgh and
boston have announced the guarantee
ing OF prices for varying periods, some
VI them up to December /, on furs
Ooeght at the present time. Special
Eafcnases ;ai,es fo- the August sales made
W n'lie impression in the local whole
ssie market and much of the sale mer-
oaahoise, it is believed, was carried
'ses from the retailers winter stocks.

To Invade French Market
American MiIliners Plan Ex-
change of Ideas

Peaceful invasion of Paris by Ameri-
can milliners is contemplated by the
Retail Millinery Association of Amer
lea, which announces the opening of
a Paris office occupying the entire
floor of the new building at Rue
de Metz. 4 Paris representative will
be named to cable arrangements made
for daily interchange Of style reports.
While the Retail Millinery Associa-
ton Will benefit by this new arrange
ment, it is generally conceded in
millinery circles that Paris will also
profit. Some of the directors of the
association express the hope that an
international style show may be ar
ranged IN Paris to complement the in
ternational style show which the Amer
lean organization will hold at the Hotel
Astor August 4. Many Paris houses
will be represented in this exhibition
along with the Fifth Avenue creators,
and it is the nope Of the association
that eventually Paris will invite New
York to compete at the French capital.

Montreal Brokers Fail

MONTREAL, July 2S.-Announce-
ment was made to-day on the floor of
the Stock Exchange that the brokerage
firm of Thornton Dvaidson & Co.,
which has connections in New York
and Boston, had gone into voluntary
liquidation. The firm was established
by Thornton Davidson, who was
drowned in the Titanic disaster in 1912
This is one of the unfortunate in
cidents not always avoidable in
period of great stock market activity"
said bank official to-day. The situa-
tion, however, is understood to be we'll
in hand. and apart from the delay
which will necessarily follow in the
liquidation of the securities, there is
nothing of a disquieting nature in
volved. On the contrary, it will tend
TO clear the atm osphere and put stop
to unwarranted and disturbing rumors
Any advances we have made the firm
from time to time were of course Sc
cured by the customary stock market
COllateral.'
