GENERAL RETURN OF
CONFIDENCE SHOWN
IN FINANCIAL MARTS
Those Who Protested Exist
ence of Stock Exchanges
Mow Loudest in Appeals
for Their Early Reopening.
It is a decided tribute to tlio .con
icivatlsm of American Investors Unit
there lins been locking recently that talk
of the existence of lioar-nnlilc conditions
In the llnnnclal mnrkcts which waB nn
pnront nlinost everywhere just after tho
news hail hcon Hashed that tho Block ox
changes wore ubout to discontinue busi
ness. Tho public Bonerally has como to
realUo that tho country's credit Is safo
in ttitt hands of those who dominate Its
flmincea and It Is disposed to tnko a
calmer and more hopeful tcellug of the
general sltuuilon.
Contrast the feeling today with that of
three or six nionihs ngo In rcioreneo to
the need at ail 01 tno Now York or other
tock oxcliaimcs. There were those who,
(or yea is. nuu made It a conslslunt habit
to try and bniicf down every argument
In favor of exchange trading and who
were loud In their demands uint tho ex
changes bo abolished becauso of their go
called "high-handed methods" and their
absolute unnecesslty. Thcso same calam
nv liowlera oro today loudest In their ap
peals for an early reopening, so thut the
temporary lull In all lines of business, due
to tho war situation, may be supuisiMcd
by that enormous trade development
which every one expects will follow the
restoration of peace In Europe.
It Is to their credit that thcso snmo In
terests nro now going out of their way
to help In every way possible to spread
the doctrine of confidence that particular
attribute which, moro than anything else,
)j so badly needed at this time to jjlvo
strength to those at tho flnnnclal helm
who art persistent In their endeavors to
so shape tho situation as to best con
serve the Interests of the entire country.
London has appreciated the necessity
for this restoration of confidence by on
couraglng foreign Investment In American
securities of high grade. Now York, re
flecting the foreign sentiment, Is main
taining an equal amount of stable con
servatism, and Philadelphia likewise, as
well as the other big financial centres
of tho country, Is doing its share to
strengthen every weak spot that is to bo
found.
There Is a brighter feeling everywhere,
Mnde 3ood Bhowlnir Despite the
Market Stringency.
Considering tho condition of tho money
market and business generally tho I'lilla
dclphla trust nn.1 paving itind companion
made n good showing In their report to
the Commissioner of Dunking for the call
of condition as of August 27, 1914.
An accurate comparison with a year ago
canont 'jc made, becauso tho call for the
npproxlmato year was made In Novem
ber last year, nnd there wore only two
cnlls compared with three thus far tills
yrnr. It is the belief thnt anothr rail
will Im issued before tho end ot the year,
probably In November.

Into ix declaration of principles embracing

representing the strongest men In tho

been ut work whipping tho fermnl dec

will bo presented to tho gathering was
finished at a meeting hero today.
I'ubllo relntlmiM Is the most Important
topic In the minds of publlo utility cor
poration managers mid operators. Ite
eently throughout the country there have
been put Into effect drastic mimsures gov
erning tho financing and operation of
utilities, especially the street railways,
and It Is the belief of the association that
there should bo properly presented to
the general public Information as to what
readjustments are and what will bo
tin
Investors, confident that the situation, for ' their effect, especially upon that part of
whleli there novcr was a parallel, Is
slowly but surely adjusting Itself to
normal proportions, are coming Into the
market again, and both tho listed and
uiillbted stocks nnd bonds are display
ing an active Interest which is In every
way gratifying to bankers generally.
There Is a general wllllngnes to do busi
ness, and the expectation Is that It will
be only a short while before thcro shall
come a read'ustment that will work out
for the benellt of all concerned.
To what extent conditions Internation
ally have Improved Is reflected In tho
altitude now assumed by many leading
bankers who do not see the necessity lor
the creation of the $150 000 000 In gold
funJ. us wns recommended, to relievo the
foreign exchange situation. It was this
changed nnrltion en the part of tho
bankers that prom: led tho Hesorvo Board
to announce that, In vlow ot the state

The Ohio i'ubllo millties Commission
has placed four men In Cleveland to
make u phjwlcul valuation of tho prop
erty of tho Cleveland Telephone Com
pany. This Is tho first big physical val
uation job undertaken by the commission
since the public utilities law wus amended
by the Legislature In !i:i, giving mi
tborlty to do this work. About J.J0.00O was
appropriated.
Tho lnsurnnce business has been ad
versely affected by tho European war, but
probably not to -such nn extent ns other
lines, insurance men sny that although
they notice some falling off, particularly
In fire Insurance, It has not been on any
largo scnte. Then, too, they declare, tho
war lias opened up greater possibilities
for the American Insurance man, because
customers have evidenced a disposition to
discriminate against foreign companies
particularly thoso ot France and Ger
many, on the ground that their policies
with them would not bo as safe as with
nn American company, for the reason
that all of the money tho foreign compan
ies have Is needed now at homo.
liisiirnnco men explain that this should
not bu the case, ns, under tho laws, for
eign companies doing business In this
country aro compelled to keep a certain
surplus lu the United States to meet their
obligations hero, nnd that anyone wish
ing to patronize a foreign compnny should
not hesitate In doing so for this reason.
Out then, all In all, there seems to bo a
disposition to fnvor American companies
when any business Is to ba done.
The frilling dtt lu the fire Insurance
business, It is pointed out, Is due primar
ily to tho fact that the war has cut down
exports and imports to a mini. num. and
consequently there Is no need for huge
insurance of warehouses where goods are
kept pending shipment. This falling off
has beca In part compensated by war risk
Insurance, which bus thus far balanced
the scales, but for how long Insurance
men will not offer u prediction.
Tho marine business on coastwise ship
ping nnd to ports In South America Is
running along about tho sam?, ns is tho
business to Knglund, although a. slight
filling off In the latter has been noted.
'The insurance business In Europe," said
nn Insuranco man today who returned re
cently, "Is at a standstill becauso of the
war."
Taking this Into consideration, then,
there are great possibilities for tho
American Insurance man, both at homo
and abroad.
From Washington came tho announce
rncnt today that tho Treasurer of War
Itlsk Insurunco has already Issued war
Insurance on eleven vessels, eight of
which ply between this country nnd South
America and three engaged In European
trade. Tho total Insurance carried on
these vessels Is snld to be about ?3,i2r,f00.
The bureau also has pending war Insur
anco applications amounting to $3 000,000
to be carried by a fleet of eight vessels
engaged In tho European trade.

EXTEND OPERATIONS
TO DISTANT STATES
In Last Ten Years Philadel
phia Builders Have Be
come Strong Competitors in
Open Market
Never before In tho history of building
has the Philadelphia contractor been
such u strong competitor In the open
market Ten years ago It was almost like
performing a miracle to obtain work of
any size more than a few miles out of
town, and Philadelphia contractors re
garded It as a waste of timo and money
to submit bids on distant work. Today
tho Philadelphia firms will nut only esti
mate on work nnywhero In the Cfnlted
States, but have succeeded lit running
muny out-of-town contiacts. Not only oc
casionally but almost nny day In the
week on the estimating boards in tht
larger ofllces will be found muny lnrgi
out-of-town jobs. This eliangu of af
fairs is principally due to the following
reasons:
P'lr.st. The local contractor, like tin.
Philadelphia lawyer, has gained a far
reaching reputation for skill ami effi
ciency. Second. The coinpletnoss of tho organ
isation of most of our largo euntrnctlnt
firms enables them to carry on the con
atrucll'Mi nf a. building 1000 miles from
Philadelphia with the same celerity and
exactness as though It was a stono throw
from their office door. .
As nn illustration of tho magnitude o
this out-of-town business, It was learned
after a visit to only tlircr of the leading
contractors, Cramp & Co., Irwlu & Leigh
ton, nnd J. K. & A. L. IVnnock, that
their combined work for the yr-ar nmount
ed to more than SIO.0iO.000, and was being
constructed In such distant places as.
Oklahoma, Cl.arlcstown, V. Va. ; Dayton
O.: New Haven, Allegheny City: Ilarrls
burg, Pa.; Atlanta, Gn.: Montreal, Can
ada: Cincinnati, O. ; Indianapolis, Intl.:
Ann Harbor, Mich.; Detroit, Mich.: Now
York City; Newark, N. J.; Buffalo, N. Y.
and mnny other largo cities throughout
tho United States.
Tho abovo firms by no means hnvo a
monopoly of this distant work. Many
of the Government postolllces throughout
the country nro being lon by our local
contractors, nnd the satisfaction they arc
giving in the lino class of building con
struction cannot help but stamp the Phil
adelphia contractors as lendprs In the
building world.
