FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SITUATION AT HOME AND ABROAD-MARimREPORTS
f
'INFLUENCE BEARISH
SENTIMENT IN STOCKS
Reported Fall of Antwerp,
Bankers Say, Sets Back
Date of Exchange Reopen
ing Trading Not Active.
N'cws of the Gorman occupation of Ant
werp Had in unfavorable Influcnco (in
both private mid public traillmr In Stock
Uxchmwe nnd financial clicks todny, and
sentiment showed a subxtnntlnl degree of
depression over this event, This cIuiuko
was most marked In Urn dealings In con
tinental pxc1ifim?e. Itclchsmarks which,
nt the end of Inst. week wcro offered nt
r'4 without n nenrby bid, were today In
demnnd nt 62(4, the offerings by foreign
bankers lmvlnR been withdrawn, nnd
there wns mi nbsenco of supply of Dutch
pullders.
vVlieat on the Chicago Hoard of Trade
tuis also Btronff, May option' moving up
over 1 cent and fractional gains were
made In corn and oats.
Tho demand for short term notes which
was tho most invorai-io feature uurinrf
the past weolt flattened out, nnd there
was also a cessation of buying of long
time listed bonds.
Most of thd dealings In bonds has for
Dome time been In the listed bonds, sales
on some days through tho clenrlng Iioukt
amounting to nbout JS00.0CO, or nbout one
third the normal volume. Now York city
now loan Issues were also easy, tho 1017
bonds which on Saturday sold hb high u&
lam yielding to 1M.
Jt was general comment that the loss
of Antworp had set back the probabto
dato of the reopening of tho Now York
Stock Exchange. There was a fairly
largo gathering of members on tho floor
of the exchange, constituting what the
brokers called a "clearing house .of
Iilfns," and some of tho views expressed
In that gathering were of an Insurgent
chnracter.
One proposed schema was that tho ox
change should open for two hours dally
for cash trading, nnd n few of the mem
bers advanced tho Idea that the matter
of resumption of business should be token
out of the hands of tho governing com
mittee. Those suggestions wore ridiculed
by tho majority of those joining In tho
discussion, who Insisted that tho gov
ernors wore working for tho best Inter
ests of all, nnd thera Is little doubt that
nine of ten members of the exchange
approve all steps so for tnken by that
body.
Prices In tho trading group on New
street were nt lower levels, with somo
pressure against Southern Pacific and
free offerings of United States Steel at
about the lowest prfces so far reached in
these outside dealings.
Business in stocks and bonds, listed nnd
unlisted, was reported as fnlrly brisk In
this city today, after the three-day holi
day. The business was chiefly In short
term bonds nnd equipment trusts, as was
tho case during last week. In the stocks,
Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley, Philadel
phia Hlectrlc and United Gas Impiove
ment predominated. These stocks have
been traded In more than nny others for
tho last ten days.'
Banks are again getting back Into tho
market for securities. This wns noted
the latter part of last week, but this
week It Is more pronounced, 'brokers say.
Thus far tho Issues asked for by tho
banks are Pennsylvania convertible 3Vs
of 1015 and New York city notes. Tho
former sold lu thN city today for flTTi, up
K from the last previous sale. Theie is
no demand for local traction issues. The
banks making the majority of the In
quiries and doing the larger part of tho
business are country Institutions,
Another Indication of the better feeling
that is every day becoming more appar
ent Is the eating up of the money market,
principally in commercial paper, being
tho only brnneh in which any business
Is done to nny largo extent. Call loans
are only made, generally, to brokers
when their time loans huvo expired and
they desire to renew.
Good name commercial paper, with ma
turities of four and Ave months, has
changed hands this week as low as 6',i
per cent. Last week paper bearing tho
same names brought 7 por cent, and In
some cases 7',i per cent., tho former fig
ure being the one at which the most
business was done, however. Inquiries
aro being received daily from country
banks, who deslro to buy paper.
Opinions aro advanced In banking cir
cles that the New York bank statement
on Saturday will show a surplus Instead
of a deficit, ns has been the case slnco
the outbreak of hostilities nbroad. Last
week tho deficit was cut down 10.1S3.a.
leaving a deficit of $7,701,330. The pre
vious week the Item was reduced
i:,722.730.
Cash has been (lowing from tho In
terior Into New York and this week tho
movement Is continuing. This is what
lends bankers to believe that the banks
will regain their surplus. If this is douo
It will be the first week since tho Kuro
pcan war bcsan that they havo had a
surplus.

NOTES OF THE RAIL
United States Circuit Court Judgo
Adams, sitting In St. Louis. hnB ordered
tho receiver of the Wabash Itallroad to
apply to tho Interstate Commerce Com
mission nnd to tho various Stnto public
servlco commissions for authority to In
crease freight and passenger rates.
Poforc tho consolidation of tho New
York Central and 7,ako Shore can bo con
summated the nuthorlty of several State
commissions In western States Is ncccs
snry, nnd It Is tho belief that the fnvor
able action of tho New York commission
will lend other commissions tn take
similar action. Nothing can bo done
toward carrying tho plan out until per
mission has been obtained from the com
missions. Tho Supromo Court of Michigan has
upheld tho right of tho Michigan Itallroad
Commission to fix tho time when de
murrage charges on Intrastate shipments
shnll begin and the regulation of the
charges.
A reduction of 8H cents per 100 pounds
has been made In tho rail rato on fir lum

FINANCIAL BRIEFS
Director A. Merrltt Taylor, of the de
partment of City Transit, has figured that
one of the ble assets that would follow
Inauguration of nn Improved transit
system In this city, such as Is now
planned In the proposed agreement bo
tween the municipality and tho FhlladoU
phla Hnpld Transit Company, would be
a saving of time to car-rldcrs here, which,
capitalized on a basis of 15 cents an hour
nt G per cent., would amount to 138,000.000
a year.
"Tho program, ns a whole," says Di
rector Taylor, lu an article in this week's
Electric Hallway Journal, "assures to tho
people of Philadelphia a splendid modern
rapid trnnslt system, operated- In con
Junction with the existing lines ns one
crent unit. In n manner which will ren
der the public the greatest service nt a
minimum reasonable Cost.
"It provides that the city Is to own
tho new facilities' and all their future net
earnings excepting such reasonable pay
ments as are nllowed tho operator, Includ
ing G per cent, on tho operator's Invest
ment. "It assures to the city and tho people
the added prosperity nnd comfort which
every such great constructive ontcrprlso
and added convenience brings; tho cost
will bo slight, and furthermore tho cost
will bo more than completely ana gonor
ously offset by tho 1-mlll tax on personal
property which has been turned over by
tho State to the city as a practical sub
sidy tn the aid of transit development, by
the groat lncrcnso In property Values and
therefore In tax returns which will accrue
to tho city treasury, and by tho cancella
tion of the present exchange ticket chnrge
on tho public of $500,000 per annum, which
amount would have Increased from year
to year.
"The Indirect advantages must not he
overlooked. Present nnd over-Increasing
congestion will be eliminated. Tho city's
growtli will be accelerated. Tho effi
ciency of tho population will bo increased
by tlmo saved, whicli capitalized on tho
basis of 15 cents per hour nt 5 per cent,
would amount to upwards of jlS.OOO.OOO.
The city's nreas avallablo for develop
ment will be so enlarged ns to mnke com
fortable nnd economical homes readily
available to all, and undue congestion of
population will bo prevented,
"There has been a great world-wldo
awakening to tho view that comuuinttles
must collectively, for the good of all.
undertuke wider spheres of service, and
that tho community itself should retain,
to a greater degree, the unearned Incre
ment In vnlues which Is created by the
concentration of its own population and
by lt own activities. In Philadelphia
there is nn undoubted urgent need for ad
ditional and better transportation facili
ties. Prlvato Interests cannot handle this
proposition without municipal aid. No
one can reasonably doubt that the com
prehensive transportation system propos
ed will. In time, develop amplo direct
earning capacity, not only to carry Itself,
but actually to relieve taxation for other
purposes."

PORT OF PHILADELPHIA
Tho neighborhood of Arch street from
15th to 17th has been a very busy locality
In tho year 1911 up to this date, tho Park
way from City Hall to Logan Square, as
plotted, 140 foot wide, passing Arch street
nt this point.
The operations take In tho block from
tho north side of Filbert street to tho
south side of Arch street, ut.ii tho south
side of Arch street from 13th to 16th, then
tho north sldo of Arch street to and in
cluding the northwest corner of 16th street
to 1613 Arch street, nnd portions of proper
ties from 161S to 103.3 Arch Btrcet.
As the final line was only settled upon
after many lines had boen proposed, prop
erty was held down In this locality ever
since the matter came to tho attention of
tho public Conditions made buyers un
willing to go into the neighborhood, nnd
pioperty owners, with u few exceptions,
did not wish to spend money upon their
holdings surely marked for destruction.
PIFTK13NTH AND ARCH STREETS.
A notable example, however, to tho con
trary, was property at the southwest cor
ner of 15th nnd Arch streets, No. 1500,
which sold March 23, 1912, lot 22x143, for
$M,000. It was nssesscd in 1D09 nt $55,0CO,
nnd It Is now only nsscssed at $03,000. It
has slnco been greatly Improved, and,
from bringing In practically nothing. Is
now rented at about $I1,fX and Is held
at more than $150,000. Other properties
In the 1300 block on tho south side, which
will be entirely taken by tho Parkway,
have tho some assessments today that
prevnlled In 1909.
Tho north side of Arch street, from
ISth street to 16th, shows a very different
situation. Properties assessed at $30,000
In lOfj are now $50,000; those at $I2,0
aro now $74,300, such ns 1607-9 Arch
street. These two properties were owned
by J. Clifford Wilson, who, May 18, 1911,
also purchased 1303 Arch street, as
sessed at $50,000, for nbout $100,000. Tho
three properties gave him a frontage of
74 feet B Inches by a depth of 1SS feet.
Ho removed the steps nnd dwelling house
features, and by threo brownstono steps,
a neat landing nnd steps inside, the floor
Is reached very cosily. No fronts wero
put In nnd nil arranged to conform; tho
Interior ndjusted to the needs of on office
building which Is cnlled The Plnzn, and
l now a most satisfactory Investment
nnd Increases the vnluo of surrounding
property, besides showing what can be
done without pulling down or going to
enormous expense.
On the north sldo of Arch street, be
tween 16th and 17th, a glanco nt the as
sessments will bo quite worth while. Tho
following Is ehown.
