Railroad Funding.

New York bankers have no advices
confirming Washington reports that the
President. under powers conferred in
the Transportation act OF 1920. would
so ahead with the funding OF the rail-
roads debt to the Government without
waiting for passage OF the pending
Townsend bill and direct the sale OF
$3S0.000,000 OF s per cent. equipment
trust obligations now held by the Rail-
road Administration. The best banking
opinion seems to be that the securities
market has not reached the stage where
8 per cent. car trusts could be absorbed
readily In large amounts. The belief
that the bill passed by the House EN-
powering the War Finance Corporation
to act as financial agent in the funding
operation Will be taken up by the Senate
directly after the close of the recess OIL

expected from the La Toilette contingent
