MORE OPTIMISTIC
Big Demand for Treasury Bills

OIL SHARES ARE FIRMEI

Special Cable to THE New York HERALD
Copyright, 1921. by THE NEW YoRK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
London. May 8.
Capel Court closed last week quiet. the
cheerful prospect of definite settle
ment OF the reparations question being
the encouraging factor. Also there was
hope of Improvement in the coal out
look. and optimism on the floor OF the
Stock Exchange was such that even
Ireland was mentioned In the list or
possible prospective settlements.
The big demand for Treasury bills
told OF the need for investments. and
the new issue movement was not upon
sufficiently big scale to check the
market. Ordinarily the public may not
have done a big business and the ac-
tivities may not have been great, but
the tendency during the week favored
the markets.
The week was n satisfactory remind
er of the improving conditions which
are finding London financing a. con-
siderable amount of new Canadian Pa
cific debentures.
The two markets of outstanding inter-
est at the present time from the in
vestors viewpoint are British rails and
oils. The settlement of the claims of
the railroads against the Government on
the basis Of the payment by the Govern
ment of 10000 900 was highly salts
factory, but ii did not form such q
strong bull point as did the announce
ment that an agreement had already
been signed by the companies and three
labor unions providing that when rail-
roads were decontrolled in August a
joint council of officers and elected en-
ployees would be formed to deal with
various questions on the principle of the
Whitley report. The great fear which
has depressed British rail stocks for
some time past was the possibility of
trouble between the railway men and the
owners when the railroads were decon-
trolled. This fear is now practically re-
moved, ard in SO far as can be SEEN
there is nothing to prevent rail stocks
gradually increasing In value as time
goes on.
Oils formed the most active section of
the EXCHANGE last week, all oil shares
showing a hardening tendency. While
there will necessarily be fluctuations
owing to profit taking by persons who
bought oils lower down. there is every
indication that the public is gradually
increasing its interest in good oil COM
panies.
The persistent appreciation of French
currency was one of the most fruitful
topics in the money market. The eco
nomic and financial salvation OF France
does not rest entirely with the amount
Germany will pay, although the average
speculator seems to argue wholly from
the point that good deal depends on
where the awards are applied and on the
capacity of France to develop indus
trially.

worlds Credit Charges Drop.

Banking authorities practically the
world over are engaged In reducing the
charges for use OF credit. The lowering
Of the Federal Reserve commercial paper
rediscount rate in New York and Chi
cago from to 6Ia per cent. and in
Atlanta from to 6 per cent. are part
Of a tendency made clear by the action
OF foremost bank officials In England,
Switzerland. Sweden, Denmark and the
chief centre Of India.
or the reductions OF bank rates IN the
United States that OF the Atlanta Re-
serve Bank is perhaps the most inter-
esting. The ratio OF cash to note and
deposit liabilities there, 46 per cent. was
. per cent lower than at the New York
bank and nearly 81 per cent lower
than at the Boston bank, which was the
first TO be reduced. yet the fall OF the
Atlanta rate was twice as large In ex-
tent as the reduction at New York.
The cut at Atlanta evidently repre-
sents a carefully considered and con-
servative policy of Reserve Board Of
ficIals Nowhere is there any expecta-
tion that lower costs OF borrowing Will
lead to iniation OF the harmful order :
the state of business Is stu too flat to
make this possible.
But In the South the banking officials
sity for making loan costs lower than
the winter charges Is imperative II the
farmers are to get their crops In and
merchants and cotton factors are TO
move goods which command a vast
amount of old loans. IL In probable
that this constructive policy will be fol-
lowed In other agricultural territory.
What the banking officials are able
to consider now II less the position OF
any one reserve bank than the strength
Of the entire system. IL matters less
that the reserve ratio at one bank IA
approximately 40 per cent while others
are SIS and 73 per cent than that circu-
lating notes have been reduced some
$576. .000. 900 since the peak Of last De-
cember. while the gold reserve Is s4o1.-
900. 900 higher than a year ago.
The product OF wise management Of
the reserve banks during periods oil
strain and business troubles Is beine
\ reaped in the surety of at least moder.
ately easy credit when expanding busi.
ness needs II later.
