Stock Steady
But Market Is
Extremely Dull
A Number of Issues Display
Special Strength; Liberty
Bonds Up: Call Loans
Renew at 10. Per Gent

The better feeling discernible in
speculative circles on Wednesday car
ricd into yesterdays session at the cx-
change. The stock market, while ex-
tremely dull, displayed fair degree of
strength, number of special issues
advancing to new highs for the recov
cry. At no time was the market under
pressure, and there were b,ief periods
when stocks moved ahead easily. 1t was
impression that stocks wanted to go up.
Although the lending institutions
established a renewal rate of 10 per
cent on call loans, an advance of I per
cent. the highest paid by borrowers,
was IA per cent. which was ] per cent
under the high of the day before The
high rates which the Street has beel
experiencing for the last fortnight naTe
been due to an abnormal situation arls-
ing out of the heavy government oper-
ations and the mid-year settlements. 1t
is believed that with the after now
practically completed relief from the
present stringency may be looked for
after the holidays. An indication of a
tendency toward relaxation was seen
yesterday in the increased number Of
banks offering money on call at the ex-
change. The high rate of Ia per cent
was touched early in the afternoon,
after which the market eased off to ~
per cent at the close.
Several stocks stood out prominently
in the days trading. A point of spe-
cial weakness was American Llnseed,
which broke points late in the ses-
sion. The selling of the stock was
based upon the news Of the filing of
government suit against the so-called
! Linseed Oil Trust, the American Lin
seed Company and the National Lead
Company being among the leading de
PENDANTS to the action. Cruciblc Steel
continued to display strength, while
Vanadium moved further ahead. Mex
lean Petroleum shares were in active
demand also on rising price scale
United States government war bonds
by their sudden accession OF strength
held responsible for the Improvement
| in the Liberty Loan and Victory note
issue. One was the reinvestment Of
the July 1 dividend and interest dis
bursements. The other was the sentl-
mental effect of the inauguration of the
new 212 per cent sinking fund estab-
lished under the statute which became
operative yesterday. Under this ar
rangement the Treasury is to buy IN
for retirement each year 21a per cent
of the bonds and notes outstanding at
the time, less the amount of the loans
to the Allies. The bankers announced
late yesterday closing of the negoti-
ations for making a twenty-five year
loan to Switzerland. The interest rate
he new issue will bear will be made
known later.
An interesting development in the
news came in the dispatches from San
Francisco, announcing the arrival there
of S6,500,0 900. The gold consists of
Russian ruble' currency and represents
part of the gold deposited at Hong
kong as collateral against the $40.-
