PROSPECTS FOR AN
EARLY REOPENING
Partial Moratorium in Lon
don Expires Today and
Conference Is Called to
Discuss Resumption.
Foreign exchange was brought Into
gioilT prominence today becauso of tho

MONEY HATI2S ArtH LOWER.
Cni' money was offered by some N'ew
York banks at 6 per cent, and time money
nt 7 cr cent. There was no urgent de
inanii. nnd It Is now generally regarded
M probable that thero will bo n gen
eral icduetlou In the rates on standing
lonns during tho week. The action of
the Com Hxchango Bank of New York,
In Binding out n circular letter last week
tailing attention to the changed posi
tion of various stocks,. Is now believed
to be In line with a new policy to be
adopted hv leading banks In the Wall
utrect district, and It S believed thnt
oth'r hanks have taken similar action,
hut In a way not likely to attract such
pronounced attention.
Thii Is said to, ha part of a plan to
rtiengthcn the loan accounts In antici
pation of discussion of tho reopening of
the Monk Kxchango. When Sir George
Palh returns from AVashlngton he will
meet a committee of governors of tho
New York Stock Exchange, and It Is
OKsumed that the reopening of tho two
exchanges will be considered at that con
ference, the Intention being to linvo busl
tiesi icsmncd In London simultaneously
with Now York.
TALK OF P.EOPENING.
Tlio partial moratorium declared ex
tended In London on October 4 expires
todnv, nnd the full moratorium In Lon
don ends on November t. It Is thought
that the reopenlngs of the exchanges -will
be arranged for soon after tho last
named date.
Trading In the open market was freely
dlcrussed In Stock Exchange circles and
It was asserted that a largo business In
listed stocks Is now being conducted
over counters of banks which should be
done by Stock Exchange members.
Names of banks doing this business
were freely mentioned nnd a spirit of In
flstnuro on some action being tnken to
prnvldo dealing opportunities was more
apparent than at any previous time Blnco
the Mock Exchange closed.

$100 BONDS BECOME
VERY POPULAR WITH
THE SMALL INVESTOR
These Securities Make Pos
sible Safe Entrance of Man
of Limited Means Into In
vestment Field.
Until recently the only opportunity
for tho man of limited means to Invest
his money was In ventures of question
able nature, such as wildcat mining
schemes. Tho amount "sunk" nnnuatly
In these ventures' In prosperous periods
totaled nn enormous sum.
Willingness of the man of limited
means to Invest, If tlic proposition pos
sessed merit, or even if It did not. sug
gested a now field of endeavor to finan
cial Interests of the county, wtilch they
havo developed with groat seal. As a
result thero nre any number of standard
bonds Issued In 1100 denominations held
by small Investors throughout the coun
try. This movement has benefited the cor
porations In many ways. Instead of
their securities being held In large units,
centralizing tho control, It spreads tho
ownership and makes for n more Btablo
condition during periods of depression.
The company which has l-.a securities Is
s'led In this form does not find large
blocks offered for solo, (hm dletm-hintr
tho nnnlclal equilibrium of the other se
curity holders.
EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYE.
The fact that there has not been a
strike of large proportions throughout
tho country during tho present year Is
largely because present-day . employes
have opportunity to Invest their savings
In the corporations with which they are
connected, thus making a common bond
of Interest between employer and em
ploye. Of course, It has nlways been possible
for the man of ordinary means to buy
tho shares of the railroads and Indus
trials, but this did not convey, to his way
of figuring; any actual ownership In the
company. They were bought merely In
view of a rlso and sold quickly when It
arrived, and with It Interest In the com
pany ceased. With tho purchase of a
bond, however, tho Investor Immediately
experienced part ownership In tho com
pany and a permanent Interest In Its
affairs.
Tho small Investor has received a thor
ough education In the use of funds In tho
past decade. lie realizes that when ho
put ins money In tho saving: fund and
received Interest on It at tho rato of 3.(55
per cent, per nnnum this same money
was often Invested at A and S per cent.,
and In some cases ns high as 6 per cent,
in bonds which ho could not purchase
because they camo In units of J1000.
GETS LAHQEIl INTEREST.
With tho advent of the $100 bond tho
samo opportunity Is presented to him as
to tho Institution, and ho Is enabled to
mako the difference which hlthorto wns
gained by his bank. A favorlto form of
Institutional Investments has been mu
nicipal Issues. Even these are now Is
sued In smalt pieces, and at the most
recont sale of bonds by the city of Phila
delphia tho man with J100 wns given an
equal, If not a greater, chance than tho
larger buyers.
Tho interest In "baby bonds," as tho
$100 units nre termed, has also been of
decided advantage to Investors, as well
ns to tho corporations of the country.-
It creates a desire for a competence
which money lying idlo In the bank
would fall to etlmulate, and the arrange
ment by which they can be bought on
the Instalment plan opens up an oppor
tunity to Invest money advantngeously,
which promotes and develops tho saving
Instinct.
Wth tho small bond dally Increasing
In favor and the scope of Its Influence
broadening, class lines are fast becoming
obliterated, with tho workman rapidly
entering- the capitalist class.
With tho rich and poor alike Interested
In the material progress of the country
and with each feeling the responsibility,
perhaps this Is a more satisfactory solu
tion of the matter than the hay dreams
of the savants. BROKER.

NOTES OF THE RAIL
The Clayton anti-trust bill Is expected
to force a number of-chahRes1 In tire-directorates
of tho Pennsylvania nnd, the
Reading, In order that tho railroad com
panies may divorce themselves from of
ficial or other connections with Indus
trial corporations.
Proposed changes In the classification
of express, charges are.-to -be the-subject
of a hearing before tho Interstate Com
mission Ori October 30.
That railroad economy means moro
than so many empty' words and that It Is
being practiced by tho big roads sys
tematically wherever possible Is shown
by ono of tho methods ndopted by tho
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad In sending
mall matter ' between departments over
the system by train service. Tho road
has adopted .a. form of'cnvelonn wchlch
Is not to bo Healed and containing spaco
for 12 addresses. When mall Is received
by a department Its address 'Is struck
off and tho envelope saved for further
use. In this manner nn envelope was
received in the vice president' office on
Its 12th trip after having traveled -20,000
miles.

PERSONAL TOUCHES

Tho "Green Goods Grocer." That wni
Bill when first ho climbed a pitchers' hill
In 1893. The cause of all that nam abuse
wns he'd been born In Syracuse -where
green goods grocers thrive. I don't know
how Illll fared ns clerk, but when It camo
to pltchln' work Toronto liked his stuff.
Ills ol' right arm was there, that's nil.
For 15 years he pitched good ball before
ho lmd enough,.
Uc opened up Ills big league run In 'OS
In Washington before the Hlg Han war.
He pitched all 'round the baseball map
an' kept Home Al shoots on tap to mako
the batters toor. In Boston couple years
ago his ol' sap stopped Its ready flo.v,
base hits began to sprout. Cy Young, his
running mate, had quit, so Bill Just maJo
the best of It an' let 'em count him out.
Bill hasn't left the diamond, though,
ot Bill. He's hopln' ho can go nnotlier
15 years. He's umpln' now on .lohnson'i
wheel nn' llstenln to kid pltclinrs spiel
their kicks Into his rnrs. The Grnfii
Goods Grocer gives full weight on strikes
that come across the plate an' finds tho
business fair. Tho baseball diamond !
his store an' It'll be tome time heforo
you'll fall to find him there. Copyrighted

McQRAW TO MARTY
"Backward, turn backward,
O'Toolo, you're not right;
Back to the Pirates:
(let out of my night!"
And he did. Marty has gone back to
Pittsburgh to rejoin the Pirates, carrying
with him the stamn 0 John McGraw'o
disapproval for' his failure to "come
through."

Speaking of George Stalling, a dispatch
to a local paper sam; "He will leave
tomorrow for his plantation In Haddock,
Ga., drop kicking." The meaning Is ob
scure. Probably the writer Intended to
say that George has "dropped kicking
at tho umpires, a very plausible) explana
lion. In view ot the fact that tt baseball
season is over. Again, ho "'" havo
meant that the "Miracle Man" was
graphically demonstrating how one of his
players had "booted one."
The Federal League continues to gel
players, but most of them are cast-off.
Hugh Bedlcnt, one ot the Jlctl 8ox heroes
of 1912, hns Jumped. But Bcdlcnt's work
was so Indifferent during the past season
that he had been turned over to an Inter
national League club. This same thing
happened In the cases of Danny Murphy
and Byron Houck, of the Athletics.
Flrmln Casslgnol, not ft tooth wash,
but a perfectly good Frenchman, has ar
rived to contest thn billiard title with
Willie Hoppc. He was too old to enlist
against the Germans and besides he
wanted to engnge In something which
would be described In the papers with
out going under tho blue pencil of the
censor.

will not meet his kind, but will havo

When Avery made that touchdown
against the Navy It Is rumored that Wil

Giilae, the lndlnns' backfleld star, has
been chosen to fill the place of Buseh. the
Carlisle cnptnln, who was compelled to
resign on account ot Ineftlclcncy. Galac's
work Is well remembered here. Along
with Guyon and Bracklln, he tore through
Penn'n lino last fall almost nt will, al
though the Redskins could only get a 7-7
tie out of tnat game, thanks to the bril
liant run of Marshall, who made a touch
down from a kick-oft In the latter part of
the contest.
Joe Bush defeated Bill James In the first
game played by the All-Americans'
