Answer-For a nerind of mont

Answer-For a period of months
after the war the British Treasury
"pegged" sterling exchange at around
s4.76 by supplying its fiscal agents in
the United States with q fund sufi-
cient to purchase sterling at that
figure. Holders of sterling bills, be-
ing assured that they could get a def
mite number of dollars for their Eng
lish pounds, had no incentive for food
ing the market with their paper in an
ticipation OF a slump in the rate of ex-
change. When the British government
ordered its American fiscal agent to
cease this operation sterling was de-
prived of artiS cial support and sought
its natural level, which eventually be-
came 1918. The term "pegged' is not
used in the same sense when speaking
of Standard Oil of New Jersey pre-
ferred stock. There is no question Of
artificial support for the stock, but
rather an invisible barrier beyond
far until recently. This stock was pre-
vented from finding its true investment
level because investors realized that
the company would soon acquire the
privilege of redeeming it at lis. For q
long time investors hesitated to pur-
chase the stock at any material ad-
vance beyond the price at which they
might be compelled to surrender it, Mt
the companys will. They were more
keen on taking preferred stocks OF the
same general class-stocks which held
better prospect of appreciation as the
declining price of money made the
dividend dollar more valuable. The
fact that the stock is now selling about
two points above the call price cannot
be readily explained. The word
"pegged" also has been used in practi-
cally the same sense to explain the
failure of bonds to advance beyond
the price at which they are likely to be
called if the price of money declines
further. Many bonds, like Standard
real investment value for this reason.

Rise in Traction Securities

The persistent buying of traction
stocks and bonds yesterday was com
monty ascribed to the improvement in
the earning position Of the greater
New York companies, as illustrated by
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit statement
Of income for the year ended June 80.
Some part Of the strength in the In
terborough Rapid Transit when is
sued" stock and the bonds was trace
able to notices granting an extension
Of time to August Is for holders of
lnterborough- Metropolitan 41ss, Man
haitian Railway Stock and marlborough
Rapid Transit per cent bonds to de-
post their securities under the re-
adjustment plan. These notices re-
vealed the fact that the response of
those security owners who are called
upon to furnish actual cash as we'll
as consent, namely, the holders Of
metropolitan IA per cent bonds, had
been greater than was generally ex-
pected: Reduced to cold figures, the
fact that 80 per cent of these bonds
had been deposited under the plan. and
the additional fact that 81 per cent of
the depostors had elected to purchase
the new 6 per cent notes, meant that
something like $780, 900 Of the needed
new capital has been assured Wall
Street considered the deposit Of 78 per
cent of the Manhattan Elevated stock
up to date as satisfactory in view of
the fact that the holders of this stock
arc asked to consent to scaling down
of their dividend rate and also to the
subordination of their dividend claim
to the fixed charges of the INTERIOR
ough. Only SO per cent of the Inter
borough Rapid Transit 5 per cent bonds
have been deposited, but the general
feeling among those familiar with the
plan is that this small response is at
tributabe merely to procrastination
on the part of the bondholders. They
are asked to do nothing more than
consent to a postponement of the sink
ing fund instruments for five years
beginning January l, 1921.

Late Realizing
Fails TO Halt
Rise Inn Stocks
Renewed Speculation for
Upward Movement Rather
Than Short Covering Is
The Controlling Factor

Renewed speculation for the rise
,.ther than the covering of short com
nitments was the controlling factor in
no continued forward march of stock
sr;ees yesterday, which was only
ssrtly halted late in the session bv
rsslising sales. The moderate char
,eter Of the check was measure of
ice ready absorption at even slight
concessions which practically all offer
,ses experienced. Leadership Of the
nsrket was again held by the railroad
stocks although shares of equipment
tompanies derived almost equal favor
fror, the clearing up of the transporta-
ten outlook The lesser buoyancy of
Industrial stocks as class was at
sribatable to outstanding weakness of
one or two issues. of which decline
., points in Studcbaker was a typical.
K extreme, example.
Attention of the trading community
rss divided between the constructive
developments in the railroad and coal
situations, the news display includ:nr
nore favorable statistical data on
transport and production as well as a
report Of progress toward labor settle
ments, and the showing of the Federal
Reserve system. The bank statements
ssra confirmatory of the view that q
trrther rise in the level OF the reser-
pr Of credit, furnished by the svs-
hn. was inevitable as commercial de-
rand slackened and gold reserves were
sagmented from abroad, but so ex-
.snsive rise in the ratio was beyond
apectations. Professional operators
re inclined to regard the outlook for
,sntinued cheap money for speculative
wrposes as more than balancing the
possibly retarding influence of the
strikes upon the recovery Of Industry
I'D trade.
In the foreign exchange market a
lew low for the German mark at 171a
hundredths Of a cent was conducive Of
sympathetic weakness in francs and u
few other currencies. Attempts were
made to explain the decline in the
mark by reference to special causes.
but in view Of the persistent adherence
Of Germany to q policy of imitation and
the outpouring OF paper marks, an ex-
planation of why the mark has held for
time so stable would be more in
order. The advance in the Reichsbank
discount rate from to 6 per cent, re-
ported yesterday, comes as belated
recognition Of the need for restrictive
measures, but, while possibly signif-
cant of changed intent, is in itself a
Tiaing endeavor to hold in bounds a
force that has gained enormous mo-
mentum. Sterling maintained its posi-
ton as other currencies sagged, gold
Shipments and the sending of coal to
this country contributing to its
strength.
The commodity markets responded to
the usual trade considerations Re
prts Of some damage to the cotton
rop were received and the general
'enor of crop forecasts was bullish
As consequence, prices, were strong
during the session and ended with net
gains of % to 25 points The move
nent of wheat was confused by the
opposition of short covering operations
to hedge selling. Prices closed, after
Irregular fluctuations, unchanged to
IL cent higher.

Chaura, whose duty ii was to keep
peace in his circle. warned these
volunteers On market day against
the consequences OF intimidaiins
