New Short Term
Government Loan
Is Expected Soon
Treasury's Working Bal.
ance Has Been Reduced to
About $45O,OOO,OOO.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 23-With the
working balance of the United States
Treasury down to about $3.50 900 900
and the season one of minimum receipts
from income taxes and moderate
revenues from customs, it will be neces-
sary soon for the Government to
negotiate additional short-term loans.
This anticipates by at least 80 days
the program Of the Treasury. whose
next large financing arrangements had
been set down for the end of May or
the early part of June. 1t does not
appear that the requirements of the
Treasury can be met through offerings
Of discount bills 1t is expected there
viii shortly be an announcement of a
six-month loan which, on the basis of
present prices for the Treasury notes
offered in March, might be priced to
yield around / l2 per cent. The 3Is
per cent notes sold last month are now
quoted at a premium of over a point
and the l2-month notes are just under
per cent premium.
The investment market is in a posi-
tion today more favorable to a new loan
at low rate of interest than it was
when the March notes were offered for
subscription. All Government issues
have advanced sharply. There has been
a general easing of credit under the
Federal Reserve policy Of stimulating
this situation by purchases of Govern
ment issues. Another factor is the re-
duction in the earning power OF the
banks because of the decline in ac-
ceptances with the same loss of earn
ings on the deposits of individuals and
institutions under the new rule Of the
New York Clearing House Association
which has forced the interest rate OF
time deposits below l per cent.

FOREIGN OIL FLOW
TO i. S. INCREASED
Prospect of AZ Cents a Bar.
rel Tariff Causes Gain in
Shipments.
BY BRADLEY w. TRENT.


NEW YORK, April ga deluge Of
foreign oil is pouring into the country
to beat the prospective tariff of a cents
a barrel incorporated in the revenue
bill now in Congress, statistics avail
able today reveal The foreign oil is
produced by American companies op-
Grating in the foreign fields of Venez-
uela, Mexico and Colombia.
Oil men are in accord in the view
that the proposed oil tariff, if adopted,
will be prohibitive. With the handicap
of such a levy. oil produced in foreign
fields could not be laid down in ports
of the United States at anything like
as low a cost as domestic oil Is pro-
duced. The oil tariff already has been
voted by the House, and the proposition
is now before the Senate.
Oil companies are proceeding on the
theory that the tariff will be adopted
and are bringing as much oil into the
country before the tax goes into effect
as they can. AS result of that policy
imports in March reached a high-wa
mark Of 9,019, 900 barrels, according to
records of the American Petroleum In
stitute. Imports in March of last year
totaled only 7,776,0O0 barrels. Two
years ago they amounted to 8,532,00O
barrels
Present indications are that imports
during April will exceed the high fig
ures registered during March. A record
breaking movement was reported for
the week ended April 2, when 3,786.00O
barrels came in. In the two succeeding
weeks. ending April 16, imports totaled
$500, 900 barrels.
Early last year American oil pro-
ducers abroad in response to Sugges-
tions that they reduce imports to re-
lieve the overproduction from which the
industry was suffering, agreed to cur
tail their imports about rs per cent
AS a result of that policy imports Of oil
dropped from 105,618,00O barrels in
1880 to only $685., 900 barrels in 1881
of which 1880, 900 barrels were crude
and 38.832,000 refined petroleum.
With the threat of heavy import
tax on oil, that voluntary curtailment
has gone by the board. Realizing that
in all probability their importations will
be entirely shut out soon. the oil COM
panies are doing the logical thing in
bringing as much as possible into the
country before the proposed oil tariff
goes into effect. The additional oil
coming into the country Is going into
storage, because it is in excess OF cur
rent demand. Since there is q limit to
storage capacity, the import movement
will decline after that capacity is filled
Even If the tariff should be eliminated
from the revenue bill, the oil importa-
tions during the second half of the year
would be small.
