BANKS, OPEN o., CLOSE =.

What - to be the result of the rec
ent action OF the Washington Clear
ing House Association deciding that
beginning on November l the hours
for the affiliated banks should be
o'clock for opening and o'clock for
closing?
This is the question that is being
considered by many OF the bankers
of the city and already some Of the
leaders in the profession have pointed
out that they do not believe that the
move is an especially wise one.
While the active membership of the
clearing house is made up of only
national banks, still the facilities OF
the institution are used by the trust
companies and savings banks. and
leaders in these lines say that it will
not be practical for their banking
houses, to close at the hour set, they
declaring that the greater part OF
their business is transacted after
o'clock in the afternoon.
SO with the situation standing as
it is, the bankers who object to the
clearing house move are expected to
very shortly bring the matter up
again for a very thorough hearing on
the subject.

STEEL PRICE IS
EXPECTED TO FALL

While buyers of steel are not
swapping the market with orders,
believing that a downward price re-
adjustment will soon take place, the
steel companies are increasing pro-
ductioh, and October bids fair to be a
record month, according to the Iron
Age. Pig iron is particularly active,
and both in Pittsburgh and Chicago
the steel Corporation Is Increasing it's
output the production in the latter
place being SIS per cent of maximum
capacity.
AN exception to the general run of
cancellations from automobile maxi
ers," says the Iron Age, appears in
several calls from such companies in
the past week for shipment of strip
steel they had held up. However, the
week has brought forth further re-
ports of reduced melt by foundries
dependent on the automobile indus
try. also of the cancellation of ma
chine tools ordered for motor car
work.
How much the PRESSURE has been
lifted from the order books is indi-
Gated by offers from mills to export
ers to make early delivery in sheets
and even steel bars. An average
monthly shipment OF 100, 900 tons Is
company.
"In England. with steel makers
heavily booked, price rccessions have
occurred in billets, sheet bars, gal
vanized sheets and tin plate"
A number of inquiries for railroad
cars has been received from foreign
countries. New Zealand and South
Africa asking quotations on 800
cars. Cuba and Porto Rico are also
in the market, and Netherlands or
der. that was expected to be placed
here, has now evidently been given

BETHLEHEM STEEL
PLANS BOND ISSUE
Marine Equipment 7 Per Cent
Bonds Approximating $780,
100000 to Be Sold.

The Bethlehem Steel Corporation, 1t
was learned today, has completed ar
rangements for the sale to bankers
of approximately S2O,0OO,OOO fifteen.
year per cent. marine equipment
bonds for the purpose of financing the
construction of five new ore boats to
bring ore from the company's mines
in Chile. The new issue will be the
joint obligation of the corporation and
which handles the transportation OF
ore from the South American mines
to this country.
Construction of the new orc boats
contemplated. it was said yesterday,
will increase the Bethlehem Steel
Corporations steamship fleet from
1000 to 152 900 tons. 1t is believed
in investment circles that the in
denture Of the new bonds will provide
that boats to the value of 100000, 900,
or $50 per cent. of the issue. will at
all times be used as collateral behind
the mortgage. Some of the vessels
for which new funds are being raised
are already completed. and others arc
row under construction.
The banking syndicate which has
completed arrangements for under
writing the issue will include the
Guaranty Trust Company, the Bank
ers' Trust Company. J. e. w. Seligman
e. Co, and the Chase Securities Com
pany.
1t was said yesterday that the de-
cision of the Bethlehem steel Corpora
ton to build Ave new boats for the
Chilean ore trade in addition to two
already on the ways means the com
pany intends to proceed Immediately
with the exploitation of it's ore prop
critics. The development of these
properties, IT was pointed out. will
mean large saving to the corpora
ton in orc costs.
The new bonds will be offered to the
public by the banking syndicate at
par, but they will be callable after
eighteen months at 1O2 ", according to
a sinking fund arrangement, so that
the average yield will be about 7A
DER cent,

GOSSIP AS DANGER
GROWTH T0F|NANCE
Director Lewis, Of Treasury Di'
vision of Savings, Tells
kiWanis Club Today.

BackstAirs gossip nnds no more
fertile field than m finance. and no
more dangerous growth threatens the
country than Its appearance In a soil
where the acquisition or loss OF mil
lions may hang upon an Incorrect
state William Aather Lewis, d.
rector of the Treasury saungs division.
told the members Of abe Kiwanis Club
today at the Washington Hotel.
Ever since Eve passed on the in
formation relative to eating an apple
& day" he said, gossip has been the
most influential element In shaping
the course of mankind. The war IL
still too near for us to forget the use
Germany made Of this weapon. Today
there 10 coming back into this eoun-
try a subtle German propaganda"
After citing the fact shat the fail
ure OF the French Panama Canal
scheme WAS due largely to circulation
Of the false news OF the death OF De
Lesseps on the day OF subscription OF
the bond issue which would have
saved the plan, Mr.. Lewis continued:
FURRY OF INCORRECT STORY.
"You will recall the furry caused
by the incorrect story that went out
as to the decision of the Supreme
Court upon the stock dividend ques-
tion." continued Mr.. Lewis. and the
peculiar situation caused by a wide
spread rumor relative to the decision
to be handed down on the Eighteenth
Amendment. There are none OF us
here but have had some friend take us
aside and impart inside Information
that the Fly-by-Night Copper Com
pany has decided to declare a great
dividend. and we had better get in
and ride. Or we are told mysteriously
about this that or the other company
which 10 bound to clear at least 8
per cent profit IL we only buy in
time.
ut is this sort OF gossip about tre-
mendous profits made in territory
far distant that appeals to our ro-
mantle sense much more than does
sound investment in our immediate
neighborhood.
I'm our work with war securities
we have come face to face many
times with the power of either idle
or inspired gossip. Twenty million
people in the United States had their
FIRST experience in investment in Lib
erty bonds. They bought them for
patriotic reasons. They did not I'M
derstand the security which they re.
ceived. Countless Liberty bonds lie
in safety deposit boxes or bureau
drawers today from which no coupon
has ever been clipped. Great num-
bers Of bonds still are unchanged.
w. G.. McAdoo tells of one man wGo
was worried sick because he heard
the interest on Liberty bonds was due
and he did not know how to raise the
money to pay it on those he held.
MOVES OF FAKE STOCK Statesmen
This man was typical of others.
So typical that fake stock statesmen
have been able to go up and down the
land telling people the Government
was not keeping faith with them,
that the Government was only paying
interest on the market value of the
bonds and suggesting that they get
rid Of them before prices went lower
and by countless other reprehensible
methods persuading them to trade the
best security in the world for the
worst.

The cotton market opened easy to-
day and generally 10 to - points
lower, despite Unexpectedly strong
Liverpool cables. The selling was
mostly southern and was based on
reports that there had been less
damages from the gulf storm than
had been expected. Local pressure
was also active. Later the market

MANCHESTER. N H.. Sept. IS.
"A reduction OF 33 Is per cent
In the price OF manufactured cot

the Amoskeax Manufacturing
Company, OF this city. The pres
ent weekly production OF the
company, which employs 10000
operatives In it's cotton depart

Fear that the cotton market.

heavy cancellations OF orders,
might reach a condition similar
To that which has forced the
closing OF the company's wooden
department Is given In the an
nouncement as the reason for
the price reduction.
The Washington times., 1920-09-23
MARKET IS GOOD.

So far the market at the advanced
rate has been especially pleasing to
the real estate firms and trust COM
panies, in the face of the fact that
many of the large Industries OF the
country. as we'll as the French gov
eminent. have lately issued securities
bearing 8 per cent.
This move. OF course, will mean q
loss to some of the organizations In
volved, which have a large number of
loans on their books now bearing,
per cent. Their paper will have to 60
out at the per cent rate and the re-
suit will be that 1 per cent will have
to be charged up to profit and loss.
