Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 24.-The increase
from $600O00,000 to $70O,00O,000 in
the capital stock of the Pennsylvania
Railroad which was voted upon yester-
day is expected to be followed within
a comparatively short time by an offer
to- shareholders of the company to sub
scribe to additional stock at par.
This will mean that Pennsylvania
stockholders will be given valuable
rights" as they were last year, when
additional $62, 100000 stock at par The
interesting point, however, is whether
or not the Pennsylvania management
Is to follow the precedent Of other
large American corporations in the past
year and increase the income of their
shareholders through the medium of
stock rights" rather than by that of
higher dividends.
The two railroad dividend increases
that few months ago were discussed
as probable this year were those OF
the Baltimore & Ohio and the Penn
sylvania. On the assumption that the
rates would be increased Baltimore &
Ohio common stock sold as high as
1873 last month and Pennsylvania at
82H in January. Both are now off
considerably from these figures. Last
week the Baltimore & Ohio announced
that it would issue SAL 100000 of new
common stock, giving shareholders the
right to subscribe for it at par. It has
since been understood that the divi-
dend is not to be raised in June and
that shareholders will obtain their
benefits through rights" instead of in
the form Of the per cent rate which
had been earlier considered.
The Pennsylvania Railroad IS now
paying z per cent. 1t is believed that
President Atterbury and a majority of
his board of directors favor the
maintenance Of this rate, which is ap-
proximately one-half the amount being
earned per share Of stock, giving Penn
sylvania shareholders the privilege Of
buying more stock well below the ruling
market price for the present shares. In
both instances this represents GER
tain amount Of caution and unwilling
ness to commit the two Eastern carriers
to dividend rate that might be bur-
densome in the event of dip in the
volume of traffic later in the year.
The practice of splitting up stocks
and enlarging the volume of outstand-
ing shares is one that has gained mucn
favor in the last few years. 1t has been
adopted by many of the important in
dustrial companies, including General
Motors and United States Steel, and by
some Of the largest public utilities,
notably American Telephone q Tele-
graph.

PASSING OF CREDIT
STRINGENCY IS SEEN
Economist Points Out Recent
Signs Of Easing Money
Market.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 24.--Dr. George
w. Edwards, chief economist of Stone,
Webster & Blodget, says that the re-
serve position of the Federal Reserve
continues to improve, with a ratio
now In excess of 10 per cent and almost
up to the level of a year ago.
The rediscounts of the member banks
are not expanding, the credit position
During the past month there has been
an increase in the non-commercial
loans of the banks, however, until the
loans secured by stocks and bonds of
member banks have reached total of
81, 059, 100000. This is an increase of
$795, 800, 900 over last year at the same
time.
Dr. Edwards explains this Increase,
as Charles Mitchell of National City
did last week, "by the fact that high
rates for call money and wide margin
requirements are inducing many indi-
viduals to hold their securities outright
and to shift from brokerage to bank
credit" This total amounts to almost
so per cent of the total earning assets
of the member banks.
Brokers loans have gone down
$233 100000 from the high of $5,793,-
100000 in March. While March financ-
ing, which exceeded q billion dollars,
was in excess of the same amount last
year.
For the first time since last Summer
the amount Of bond financing has
shown a decided increase in March, ex-
ceeding that Of the preceding month.
DR.. Edwards believes that the credit
situation is being cleared up very
rapidly.

CONVERTIBLE BOND
LIST IS IRREGULAR
Market Slows Down Some
what as Favorable Fac
tors Are Discounted.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
,cial pispa tch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 24-The pace OF
the bond market was not quite so fast
today, with indications that the recent
rise in prices had discounted some of
the favorable factors in the situations
such as easier money, buying to replace
the United States Steel Corporation
maturing issues and the additions to
the list of bonds legal for savings banks
in New York State.
The first line leads. which were
bid up sharply last week, have again
become inactive. with prices off l to
212 points from their highs. The Sec
ond line of AZ and 5 per cent rails
are marking time at the levels quoted
at the end of last week. Here and
there in the legal list of public utilities
a scant supply results in an advance
of substantial fractions to a point in
individual issues, but with no conSpic-
uous upward trend in the general group.
Not all of the weak situations have
yet been liquidated.. judging from the
action of several rather low credit pub
lie utility and railroad mortgages
brought out last year. A case in point
is the OsWego Falls 6s which have
dropped from 98l4 to 80, or about O.
per cent basis to one of nearly 8&
per cent. There are still some I'M
1iquidated positions also in the foreign
list.
The convertibles today were quieter
and irregular On small transactions
Anaconda Copper Is rose 3 points and
on moderate trading International Tele-
phone AIS and American international
SIPS gained fractionally. Apparently
the purchases for the sinking fund have
been completed in the Dodge 6S, as the
bonds were off l y points from yester-
days high. Cuba Cane Sugar rs lost
a point and the IS rose fractionally.
Goodyear SIS and United States Rubber
SIS both advanced y. National Dairy
Products rs sold above 81, but did not
hold their price and interest paper SIS
were heavy.
German government rs were stronger
in the hope that there may even yet
be some workable plan proposed in
Paris. French nlunicipals and rails
have been we'll bought recently. The
latter have benefited by the succession
of increased dividends recently an
nounced by the privately managed COM
panies. South Americans and Italians
were better. United States Government
issues were steady.
There were two issues of municipal
bonds offered today, representing COM
munities on either side of the continent
and both on Az per cent basis.
