Stocks were at their best in the
forenoon, rails and air. transports

sorted favorities touched highest
levels since late 1899. Profit taking
then appeared and the pace slowed.
Initial gains running to a point
or more eventually were reduced or
changed to small declines in many
cases near the close. Transfers were
around 100000 shares.
In addition to inf1ationary think
ing. resulting partly from the con-
gressional defeat Of the administra-

securities were bulwarked by gen.

A record over-subscription OF the
Treasury's latest offerings of secur-
tiles was reported today by Secretary
Morgenthau, who said between 10
and 20 billion dollars had been sub
scribed in response to an Offering Of
only $2,5OO,o0o, 900.
Morgenthau told press confer
ence lit is very nice that so many
people want to lend their money to
the Government"
Books on the offering of ~ per
cent certificates were kept open only
two days-Monday and Tuesday of
this week.
On other aspects of war financing,
the Secretary said in response to a
question that the Treasury is not
concerned at the number of War
bonds being turned in for cash and
added that thus far there is no in
dication that inception of pay-as-
you-go will interfere with bond sales.
The real answer, however, will not
be available until around July Is,
he said. The Treasury has sent out
about 10000 900 pieces of literature
to be placed in pay envelopes urging
that taxpayers continue to buy

CIearings Set Records
Here in June and
First Half Of 1943
By EDWARD C. STONE.

Bank clearings in the Capital In
June and the first six months Of 1943
set new all-time records for both
periods, George n. Bright, manager
of the Washington Clearing House,
reported today.
June clearings, however, we're only
slightly ahead of the same month
last year, $156, 6,484, ,63S19 comparing
with $156, ,200, ,41s.5S in June, 1912, or
q gain of s284,2l961.
The small increase is due to the
fact that fewer new Government
workers came to Washington and
opened bank accounts than was the
case a year ago, bank officials said
today. Many of the June IS income
tax checks have not yet gone
through the clearing house.
In the first half year clearings
totaled s943,5l2,017.19 against $685.
1l,374.53 year ago. or a substantial
increase of SIC, 500, 1926. Comment
ing on this gain, bankers expressed
the belief today that a new high
mark in business activity was
reached, due Of course, to the war
boom.
Clearings opened 1943 far below
last year, while April saw very
sharp upturn. Comparisons, by
