K.i , i '$!! - rr!riz&tmfvr' rmmmv-fw& ' wmw f EVENING LEDGER-PHILAPELPHOUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1914 13 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SITUATION AT HOME AND ABROAD-MARKET REPORTS BROKERS ARE GIVEN GREATER.LEEWAY IN MAKIMBOND SALES permitted Now to Trade Among Themselves Ex change Reopening Plans Depend .on Reserve Bank Operation. Coincident with the l'lfllrlg today of certain restrictions' which have pre vented a broader scale 'of .trading In the listed and unlisted securities, comes word from bond salesmen on the street that they aro finding Individual In vestors In a very roceptlvo mood and willing to listen to reason. There- ap pears to bo a general feeling of con fidence In the ability of the financial situation to readjust Itself, and the re-( suit has beon a brisk demand for securities of the highest grade, partic ularly the utilities. Success of the Now York city note Issue of $100,000,000 has Inspired greater confidence and there Is a. brisk demand locally and In Now York for the tjiree vear notes, duo In 1917. Prices today were boosted to 102. and even at this flciire, wnicn repiHii .s !" basis, the notes were hard to get. The Investment bankers aro reporting business generally good-so much so, In Met. that there Is talk of having the stock Exchange committee lift the ban to the extent of permitting trades among brokers In tho listed securities the same as are being made In tho unlisted stocks and bonds. The special committees are nut holding brokers to prices at, of tho closing fate of the Exchanges-July 30 and sales, are being mado on a basis of llireu to four points, in some instances, below those figures, with the inquiries and actual sale3 exceptionally largo at the low prices. Beginning toUay, and until further no tice, dealers In Investment securities which mo not .listed on the Stock Ex-, changes may trado as between them selves. They may Issue circulars or a lltt of their security offerings, but the prices to be quoted, cither in Individual ..I., nmrinir hrnkora or to Investors, must first bo scrutinized and officially approved, by the special committee representing the dllferent bond houses, named some time ago to sanction proposed stock and bond transfers, n.ia ia ho first limn rIuco the exchanges closed that such privilege has beeri of ficially granted tho Investment brokers, 'ihey have ben permitted,, for bovcral weeics, to negotiate sales of their own se curities to Individual investors, subject to the committee's approval, but they have been restrained from transfers as between t!winsels. Tho Idea of tho orig inal plan was to prevent tho letting down of bars that would permit unrestricted transactions that might have a tendency to influence the very liquidation which Investment houses everywhere and the banking Institutions that hold their se-, curltles as collateral have been trying to stave off. And it Is for this same rea sun that tho officials of the various ex changes throughout tho country are go Ins slow on the reopening proposition. TALK OF REOPENING. The gradual wiping out of the restric tions ihat have surrounded trading since the end of July Is an Indication of tho better feeling regarding the general finan cial outlook. In New York today invest ment bankers are talking of a formal reopening of the Exchange about Decem ber 1. The original date set by several w ell-Informed tradera was November 1, but there was not taken Into consideration In this prophecy the fact that It is very likely tho Federal Reserve Board plan would not be In operation by that time. And there Is every reason to believe that there will be nothing done in the line of a general official resumption until these plans shall have been completed. Inasmuch as there . Is coming dua Octobtr 1 a large number of American debts owed abioad, there has been a general stiffening In the foreign exchange market. Trices In the last few days have taken a decided upward tendency, espe cially In the case of cable rates, which are so much In demand now In view of the Impossibility for the transfer of gold to Europo by steamship in time to reach foreign ports on the October duo date. Extension of the British moratorium from October i to November 4 does not apply to bills, of exchange other than checks or bills on demand. On account of the fact that these obligations aro excluded from the extension, persons on this side who had been taking advan tage of the moratorium are obliged to buy exchange In order to cover their ob ligations berore October 1- It Is understood that a large volume of finance bills had been put out during the 6ummer months, bankers expecting to cover these bills with grain and cot ton exchange at low rates, but their maturities have been extended from time to time under the moratorium. Now that settlements must be made by October 4. there was also a good Inquiry for de mand bills on London for the Mauro tanla. which Is the last boat to reach London by October 4,. Some of theso finance bills have been renewed, but It la believed In some quarters that no small part of them will be paid off. NATIONAL BANK CONDITIONS Comptroller's Report for This District Shows Resources of Over Billion.

Tho few applications, which are now coming in ore principally from coun try Institutions. Another Indication of tho stronger position is tho statement of condition of tho Philadelphia Clearing House members in the last throe weeks showing an increase In rcoerves. The National Currency Association of Philadelphia, which has Jurisdiction over trie Issuance of emergency currency and acts on tho applications of tho banks, met dally In the lirst part of August to act on applications as -to whether the association should recommend tho Issu ance of currency to thorn and whether tho collateral' offered by them was sat isfactory. These meetings have now dwindled down to about two a week, and arc then called only when some applica tions are on hand. This week there ha3 been only one meeting, and it Is under stood there may b'e another before tho end of tho week, although It is not now certain. Since tho first emergency currency was taken out on August 7. approximately soven weeks ago, there has been Issued at tho Subtreasury a total of 10.1S7.000 to 21 banks and $319,000 of this amount wa3 taken out this week. This Is an aver ugo of Jl.451,000 per week. A majority of tho banks still have a largo amount of It In their vaults, having taken it out as a precautionary measure. To meet tho clcmand3 for emergency currency when they were llrst made, the Comp ti oiler of tho Currency sent to the local Subtreasury $,000.000 worth and ?D,S13, 000 Is still In the vaults. THE COLLATERAL DEPOSITS. Against the total of $10,157,000 issued there has been deposited collateral with the Currency Association to the amount of approximately $14,000,000. which Is now being lield' In the vaults of the Clearing House. Of this collateral It ia estimated that 60 per cent, represents commercial paper and the remaining 40 per cent, railroad and other bonds. It is provided in the Aldrlch-Vrceland law that currency can be Issued to an amount not exceeding 75 per cent, ot 'the cash value of commercial paper de posited and to an amount not exceeding per cent, of the market value of State, city, town, county or municipal bonds. The Secretary of the Treasury has reduced the percentage on State and municipal securities to S3 per cent.

Announcement by bankers that Ihey would pay In ndvance the $140,000 notes due January 1, 1915, of the William Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine Building Com' pany has attracted attention to the affairs of this company, which have been handled In such a manner a to be able to meet lt notes In advance. ' When William Cramp early In the last century founded tho famous shipyard which etlll bears his name, ho apparently had dreams of mighty armaments ttf be constructed and with, what pride they would cany tho American flag to all parts of the world and thunder forth tons of steel In defense of It, If necessary. His vision came true In more than one- way, for tho Cramp-built ships were the "cracks" of tho American Navy, and at Manila and Santiago poured forth their bolts In fulfilment of the. vision. With tho dawn of a new century, how over, the successors of this great mind realized that the wonderful opportunity of tho business man of America, was not In tho building of engines ot destruction, but those of development; and few pco plo In Philadelphia know that the Wm. Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine Building Company Is one of tho foremost design ers of hydraulic turbines for the develop ment of water power In the world an Industry which Is being exploited by the comparatively newer form of Investment known as Public Utility. The first effort of private enterprise to develop the water power of this country to make It a salable commodity was mado In 1S0O, at Niagara Falls, where a company known as tho Niagara Falls Power Company began work on a hydro electric seneratlng station, which was to exceed In size and Importance any which, up to that tlmo, had Been constructed, either in the United States or Europe. When It Is remembered that up to this tlmo a turblno of greater capacity than 1000 horsepower had never been construct ed and this effort called for 10 units of EOOO horsepower each. It Is not surprising that the venture created quite a little in terest. It Is not generally knowp that It was our own Philadelphia concern which was awarded this contract and carried It out to successful completion. NIAGARA FALLS PLANT. Success of this venture advertised the possibilities of this kind of endeavor to the moneyed Interests throughout the country, and with their usual celerity thoy seized the opportunity with avidity. The first Important work attempted, after it was thoroughly demonstrated tnat thl3 was a safe field for private Investment, was the Canadian Power Company, which In 1900 at Niagara FallB constructed a plant which, although only two units were planned, yet each one called for a ca pacity of 10,000 horsepower. The Cana dians followed up this effort with the construction of larger plants capable of delivering 13,500 horsepower. By this time Investors fVro quite fa miliar with this form of security, and dealers had no hesitancy In offering them, and, as a result, water power sites throughout this country and Canada were eagerly sought. The most Important of these have been the Huronlan Company, Ontario, 10,650 horsepower; West Kootenay Power and Light Company, British Columbia, 16,000 horsepower; Toronto Power Company. 52,000 horsepower; St. Lawrence River Power Company, New. York, 21,000 horse power; McOill's Ferry Power Company (later the Pennsylvania Water and Power Company), McCall's Ferry, Pa., 81,000 nnrsepower; central Colorado Power Company, Glenwood, Col., 18,000 horse power; Great Western Power Company. California, 7.',000 horsepower; Washington Power Company. Spokane, Wash., 3tS,rW) horsepower; Tennessee Power Company, 20,000 horsepower, and the Appalachian Power Company Virginia. 35,000 horse power. These are Just a few of a great many corporations which extend from Alaska to Porto Rico and from New York to British Columbia, and the figures men tinned ahovo are merely tho Initial In stallations. Since that time a great many of them have doubled their capacity. The most recent developments have been the Mississippi River Power Com pany at Keokuk. Iowa, which has IS units of 10,1) horsepower each, and which Is the largest plant of Its kind in the world, and the Cedar Rapids Manu facturing and Power Comnanv at Mon. treal, which has nine units capable of delivering 10,800 horsepower each, which Is the largest turbine in the world, this company being the greatest development of Its kind In Canada. TURBINES ARE BUILT HERE. As a matter of Information It may be stated that SO per cent, of the Impor tant turbines Installed by the various companies on this continent were con structed by the I. P. Morris Company, which is the department of Cramps that constructs this form of machinery. Philadelphia capitalists were among the first to recognize this field of activity as a probable use on funds, and perhaps tho companies In which Phladelphians are interested are ns well known, if not better, than any of the others. Their effort.-, have been usually confined to the environs of our own country, where the possibilities are almost unlimited. Meat. while, the investor is becoming more and moie familiar with this torm of security, and the bankers managing the properties experience very little dif ficulty In disposing of their wares. William Cramp, if he iould come back to this mundane sphere now, with the greater part of Europe engaged In bloody strife, would no doubt fully expect to find the great plant which bears his name busily and exclusively engaged in the building of ships uf war. What would be his surprise to rind that the activities of tho plant were largely engaged In the construction of mighty engines of peace and Industry? And whllo the apostles of conservation are busy uiglng the passing of laws to restrict the use of our natural resources, tt Is Interesting to note that Canada, which has been Jealous to guard and foster Its Infant industries, was quick to perceive the opportunity offered and perhaps as a result is a bit in advance eloping water power. Needless to state it would be far better to have our resource develop! aloiig in telligent lines, where the risk Is borne bj the promoter and Investor., than to allow powej which has a. might behind It which no man can gauge to He d"rmam at our 'fery doors.
