BROKERS FLURRY
TO PLACE FUNDS
FOR CUSTOMERS
Outlook Is That in Another
Week- Rates Will Be
Down to or Under Four
Per Cent.
Wall street today proceeded with Im
portant financial transaction and secu
rity .dealings In so broad n measure to
niako the. attitude of the Stock Exchange
sovcrnors seem of diminished Importance.
All the various factor which participate
IrTWall street's activities were fields In
which new favorable developments oc
curred, with tho greatest Importance to
bo attnehed to tho Increased offerings of
80-day and call money at 414 per cent.,
making -It tho ruling rate for now trans
actions. Money, In fact, became so plen
tiful In supply that It required urgent
efforts 6n the part of brokers to place
oven a small part of funds for which
they were requested to find a market,
and. tho outlook Is that In another week
the rnto will be down or or under 4 per
cent.
NEKD FOIl PLACJNG IDLE FUNDS.
Institutions and Investors already have
bought n" tllc hlgh-oiasa short-term notes
and fire-grade bonds that could bo ob
tained at prices yielding a fair return,
and today the necessity of finding use
for Idle funda was rectlctcd In tho largest
day's business In stocks transacted
through the- Clearing House Committee
Inco tho closing of the Stock Exchange.
Tho strength In exchange resulting from
purchases by Stock Exchange houses and
bankers disappeared. Demand sterling,
which sold . yesterday at 4.89H, declined
to 4.SSH. and a simitar loss was suf
fered In cables. This change In tho for
eign exchange -market, coming after tho
announcement of tho resumption of bond
dealings on tho Stock Exchange Satur
day, Indicates that tho buyers of ex
ohango see tho situation In a- new" light.
Fow of tho best-Informed bond dealers
four any such avalanche of foreign hold
ings sa had been predicted the last three
monuis. Transactions Jn other security
mnrkets have had much to do -with Im
pelling this fear, as all tho changes have
been to higher levels. Trust company
stocks Iri Now York are now 10 to 20
points above tho prices rocorded early
In September, and Now York bank stocks
are In such urgent demand as to make
tho markot for thoso Issues a matter of
general comment.
STANDARD OIL, TRADE BIG.
Th6. 'dealing's In Standard OH Issues to
day wore tho largcs't slnco open trading
was resumed,- but price movoments were
irregular. Vigorous advances In tho fore
noon wero followed by sharp reactions
In tho last half of the day.
i The heavy exports of cotton since tho
beginning of the. weok undoubtedly wilt
have an Impprtnnt Influence on the mono
tarj; situation. Exchange brokers aro
steadily offering cqtton bills, although
supply is ns vet not In proportion to the
nctual exports of tho staple. It Is ap
parent, however, that tho temporary
shortage In foreign exchange, created by
t,ho Interruption to cotton exports. Is
gradually ndjuitlng Itself through a re
sumption of the cotton outward move
ment. As this, outflow proceeds, It may
be necessary to find some means to check
the effect of cons.tant pressure of cotton
bills on the foreign exchango market.

TKBNTON, Nov, 3S.-Ths Court of Er
rors and Appeals today heard argument
upon tho appeals of the Commercial
Trust Company of New Jersey and
Charles 1 Decker, of Jersey City, rrom
the decision of the Supreme Court against
them In their suits against the Hudson
County Board of Taxation to set aside
an assessment upon bank stock. Deci
sion was reserved.
The suits Involve the question of the
constitutionality of the Fielder-Pierce

City Trust Company and the assessment
against Decker was on 20 shares of the
stock of the Merchants' National Bank

and held tho act to be constitutional.
SIR GEORGE PAISH
LMDS STABILITY
" OF OUR FINANCES
Agent of British Exchequer,
Departing, Also Declares
World Will Long Suffer
From Capital Loss.
NEW YOniC, Nov. SS.-Hlgh praise for
tho financial condition of this country and
Its institutions wns given by Sir Ooarge
Palsji, adviser, to the Ilrltlah Exchequer,
Just beforo he sailed for Europe today on
tho White Star liner Adriatic.
Sir George hod been In this country for
six weeks to confer with representatives
of tho Government and loading finan
ciers In efforts to regulate the present
monetary conditions existing between the
United 3tates and England. It is be
lieved ho was responsible for tho decision
to open tho Stock Exchango on Saturday
for trading In bonds,
Among thoso who went to the pier with
tho British financier wero J. P. Morgan
and II. P. Davison, of tho firm of J. P.
Morgan & Co.
DOES NOT EXPECT FLURIIY.
"My visit to this country has been very
satisfactory," said Sir George. "Financial
conditions aro very sound here, arid I do
not look for any flurry when tho stock
market Is reopened. The' demand for
bonds Is exceeding the sales. I have no
doubt the stock market will bo open for
normal trading by tho end of tho year.
By that time confidence will be com
pletely restored.
"When this war Is over tho world will
suffer this great loss of capital for gen
erations. Capital In Europo la producing
nothing. It Is merely) being -wasted. Had
It been turned Into productive channels
wo would then have had a lasting pros
perity. "As a result of this war England will
be able'to 'reduce her defensive expendi
tures and thereby save enough from that
to mako up for tho great loss she is now
enduring.
COST OF DEFENSE GREAT.
"Prior to this war England was spend
ing $40,000,000 a year to keep up her de
fense, but If tho Allies win, as they surely
will, the expenditure will be reduced more
than half, for militarism will then be
dead,
"England will not unload her securities
upon America after the war. England
cxpectB to pay the costs of tho war out
of, her growing capital."
Mr. Davison supplemented Sir George's
remarks by saying: "Conditions here aro
wonderful for the expansion of our trade.
They aro getting better and better. We
are no longer afraid of Government at
tacks on business."

J. G. DOAK & CO.'S
CREDITORS TO ASK
FOR A RECEIVER
Plan Suggested by Which it
Is Hoped Greater Part of
Building Firm's Debts
May Be Paid.
The temporary commttlee nppolnted
by the creditors of the firm of James
G, Doak A Co., one of tho largest
building contractors In this city, which
placed their affairs In the hands ot
creditors yesterday (o devlso a means to
conserve their Interests, will recommend
the appointment of a receiver In equity
for the building firm at i mass-meeting
of tho creditors to be held In tho Croier
Building this afternoon. It Is not be
lieved that by this means tho company
will be able to meet all its financial
obligations, but the committee has decided
that such n plan would assure the pay
ment of a, greater part of the firm's
debts than any other which has been
suggested.
Doak & Co.'s total liabilities are $562,000:
their total assets, $115,000. Their principal
creditors aro the American Bridge Com
pany, tho Third National Bank, ot this
city; William' It. Chapman & Sons, brick
manufacturers, and a number of lumber
concerns. Tho firm has about 145 other
creditors, Including the Concrcto Steel
Company. Tho Third National Bank Is
said to havo Indorsed tho notes ot tho
owners of buildings In course of construc
tion by tho Doak company to tho extent
of $90,000. Tho contracting firm Is said to
have obtained, In this way, all moneys
duo them on tho new Finance Building,
1423 South Penn Square, which Is now
only GO per cent, complote.
The firm has aUo seven other Jobs on
hand which, the commlttco recommends
be finished by subcontractors. Tho re
ceiver appointed could be legally empow
eied to contract loans, If noccssary, In or
der to bring this work to a conclusion.
It Is bclloved thnt tho creditors will agree
to the proposal of their committee when
they moot this afternoon.
It Is believed in the trade Hint the fail
ure (It Doak '&. Co, Is duo to tho accept
ance by tho firm of contracts at sums
which were too low to admit of a reason
able profit. Exhaustion of the firm's
credit was tho reason given by the firm's
attorney, Murdoch Kcndrlck. Neither
Gcorgo A. Doak nor Gustavo M. Malcas,
of tho llrm, could bo seen this morning.
In addition to tho Flnanco Building, tho
firm now has tho following buildings In
courso of construction: tho Dlxey Thca
tro; a building for Charles Lcntz & Son,
on 17th street bolow Market; tho Nurses'
Homo at the Gormantown Hospital; a

LONGS' LIQUIDATION :
IS FEATURE TODAY
IN CHICAGO MARKET
Substantial Support Limited
Except on Very Weak
Spots Good Export Busi-
ness Done at Decline.
CHICAGO, Kov. -Liquidation by
discouraged and timid long's war a feat
ure of the market for wheat futures today''
nnd thero was not a, great deal of sub
stantial support, except on the very weak
spots. December milled and closed un
changed, but May ended at a net loss of
H cent, . ,t
There was a good export business done),
at the decline, sales being placed In ex
cess of 2,000,000 bushels. Cash wheat ed-
vnnced its premium by to M cent from
yesterday's best figures for No. 9 norts.,
nnd entirely wiped cAit the discounts frotn'
December price for No. 3 sorts.
Corn weakened materially, sovcral longs
of some prominence unloaded and pop-j
ular sentiment was bearish. There was
a continued large run of corn to mari
kct. Considerable old corn, nevertheless,
finally wns sold for export, sellers being;
reticent about reporting It
There was an actlvo trado In oats, with
mUch liquidation by December longs. Thn"
grain was taken by export .houses. Them
latter sold a fair line abroad and. re-,
ported n part of It. Tho market wan
weak most of the time, but early brlctsj
wero the lowest. t
Thero was a fairly active local spccula-t
tlve trade In provisions. Early values
were mainly lower, while later ones
showed tho effects of fairly substantial
buying. , -f
