BOND TRADING IN
NEW YORK MAY BE
STARTED TOMORROW
,
Financial Circles Have Re
port That Business Will Be
Resumed on Stock Ex
change Floor.
financial quarters were Interested to
6&y In a raltarjt from Ndw York that tho
B(tjclt Exchange there would open for
trading; In bonds tomorrow, or that an
announcement of arrangements for trad
ing In bond 8 would be made then. The
report found believers In the usually best
Informed house?, and was not denied In
ofnclal quarters.
Stock exchange brokers and others were,
of the opinion that action of this sort
would not be at all unloosed for, In
vlow of tho generally better feeling and
Improved conditions, helped to a largo
5eK'o by the opening of the Cotton Ex
changes, the Federal reserve banks and
tHto" New York curb.
Some of those concerned In the confer
ence betneen tho Special Committee of
l'lvo of tho New York Block Exchange
and tho Clearing House members said
th'at this question of dealings In bonds
Is so broad In Its application that many
matters must bo taken Into considera
tion, and that It had not been definitely
decided yet what leeway will be per
muted In conducting transactions In these
securities on the Moor.
There was good reason to expect that,
In spite of many faults. It will bo do
elded to revive tho old call system, espe
cially In tho case of guaranteed stocks.
PtflbabJy n list of bonds will be named
Injwhieh transactions at minimum prices
wfil be permitted, and facilities will ltn
fuftilshcd for liquidation on a larger scale
than Is now possible.
As far us umestrlctcd trndlnc Is con
cerned, It was asserted that no date In
the' near future caw ho rrinalrtornl. The
prospect of allowing bond sales caused
mofco cheorful feelings In the street, and
many Stork Exchange llrms have al
ready commenced to put their houses In
order; so as to be prepared for any" busi
ness that may come their way
Trading in the open markets showed
lltt(o change from recently prevailing con
ditions. Thore was the usual scalping of
customers on tho New York street curb,
where customers pay litis for United
States steel common, while the seller re
ceives only 41M. Many more of tho listed
Block? traded In on the Now street curb
are selling above July 3D prices, but too
much enthusiasm should not be shown
over tho strength In a score of Issues
out of a couple of hundred issues that are
being traded In.
Standard Oil stocks on Broad street
held firm, with Ohio OH quoted at 172 to
in, and Anglo American at 15.
Chicago stock Exchange governors will
rote tomorrow on a proposition to re
open that board on Monday.
Foreign Exchange was quiet. Demand
sterling was 4.271,, cables 4 S7TA.

Characterizes Operations of
New Banks as '"Wonder
ful" Secretary Willis
Gills for Reports.
WASHINGTON, Nov. U.-Stamplne the
first day's operations of the Federal re
serve system and Its banks aP'Vonder
full" Secretary of tho Treasury McAdoo
said today that it would require ot least
a week to determine necessary changes
in the routine. I3ut lie stated that, Judg
ing by the Initial day's operations alone,
it was certain that the now plan was an
even more eMlclont weapon against finan
cial panics and upsets In tho system of
national finances than had been antici
pated by Its framcrs.
Secretary Willis, of tho board, has sent
for reports from each bank on their total
first day's rediscount business, and these
figures were being compiled today. They
will show Just what can bo expected of
this branch of the work, and the figures
avallablo today Indicated that the bus
iness was brisk everywhere. It Is esti
mated on the basis of preliminary reports
that tho now system will augment the
cash In the banks of tho country within
n weok by at least $150,000,000,
The Federal Keserve Board Is expected
to deposit In tho branch banks the sur
plus cash of the Troasury and part, at
least, of the Government funds now held
In national bnnks. But this action will
bo taken only after careful consideration
of the operation of the now banks. It
will all depend on whether the report of
tho first week's operations show that tho
reserve banks need more cash for their
rediscount business than they already
have on hand. Action of this kind would
furnish to the roservo lmnkn $110,000,000
direct from the Treasury and some $61,
000,000 from the national banks.

WASHINGTON, Nov 17-Ttep6rts that

"Tho Secretary said that notwithstand
ing the great Improvoinent In the busi
ness situation," read nn ofllclal state
ment, "his associates on tho Federal Ite
servo Board as well as he were aa firmly
convinced now as they were at the out
set that the creation of tho cotton loan
fund would bo of great benefit to th
entire country, and that tho general be
lief that tho fund would be successfully
raised has been a contributing factor In
crcntlng tho Improved conditions and the
greater confidence which now prevails,
particularly in the cotton market."
