1 i S rA ' FINANCIAL RYE.POJNT ADVANCE IN COLORADO FUEL Report That Company Hna Re ceived New Orders From RUs fcia Rest of List Irregular OTBW TOniC Sept H While the ftadt market starts off with a show of tresurth today. It was not of Ionic dura 0j, and before the flrat hour was well Mter war there wa a general reaction. t selling pressure wns not large and th recession was probably duo moro to nn kbeence of demand than anything else, while on the door It was Bald that there was tome foreign selling and that quite a few ttop-losi order were caught. On the early uplift the war specialties, M 1 always the case, or has been hero ot late, were In tho fore, but advances were not wide, although nnlte numerous. As they had led on the upswing, so they Wian led on the downturn. The general feeling seemed to be a waiting one. theH foreign situation atlll being tho dominant factor nnd this appeared to bo the prln clpal reason for tho check In speculative buying There wero no Important over night developments In the diplomatic situ atton. yet the Street as a whole was of the feeling that caution was now In order. It was felt In more quarters than one that the outlook was much brighter, and the statement by the German Ambassador "that he expected the dlfltculty to bo straightened out within the next two weeks was encouraging. Losses on the set-back ranged mostly around fractions, although there wero come few Issues, such as Bethlehem Steel, which wero positively weak. Bothlehem, for instance, dropped off 10 1, 4 points be fore the end of the second hour, white Crucible lost over A point, ss. did Wcst tnghouse and Etudobaker. Gcnoral Mo tors moved In the opposite direction from the other war specialties, and when they were going down It became strong, showing- a gain of 4 points around midday. Trading was light In the afternoon and the market was Irregular, with a 1 aaaalnff tendency. Bethlehem Steel re covered from the morning low, but was j till oft from the flnal of yesterday. The i company's preferred stock was strong, i Rumors were reiterated of a big merger j and an exchange of now securities for , mat issue, on a oasis wmcu wuum raano it worth moro tlinn It could ever bo worth as n 7 per cent, rioncumulattve stock. Colorado Fuel and Iron stood out strong, being up nearly 3 points at ono time. Irregularity, with light trading, continued to the end. The most promi nent Issue was the strength In Colorado Fuel and Iron, which rose to u level S points above yesterday's close on reports that tho company has received new orders from the Russian Government. The railroad list was again Inactive, thera being very littlo demand for this class of securities. News that the attor neys for tho Western carriers had Hied a, petition with the Interstate Commerce Commission asking that tho eftectlvo date c-f its recent decision In the advanco rate esse be postponed for 90 days had been expected. The decision was to have be came effective on September 30. Tho re quest for the postponement of tho effec tive date was done so as to give tho i all roads time to picpare exceptions to the ruling. The Bis Loan to the Allies Around midday the Street received the news that tho huge loan to the Allies, which has been under discussion, had been lrtually arranged, although no de tails could be learned. It was said, how ever, that the amount would be $1,000,- OeO.tJOO. This was vm encouraging to the financial community, as It has been act. lug. .ns u damper on the market. Later 'In the day It was learned that tho loan wilt be $MO.OOO,600, and will bo tho Joint obligation of Great Britain, Fiance and Itussla. The rute of Intetest will bo 5 per cent,, but tho proposal to permit tho loan to run for six jcais, which was at first submitted to the conference, has been modified, the duration being short ened. No part of the loan will be Used to payy for war munitions. The purpopo of the financing Is to enable tho Allies to JiHTcAiase American agricultural and other .'craduct.i. other than munitions of war. For the purchase of the latter Great Britain ard Its Allies will pay In gold. This will necessitate sending to this coun try perhaps fSOO.000.000 gold, or even more, but the three nations consider that they are In a position to do so. P. It. R.

Iluslneks In Americans' was quiet and professional, tho list turning firmer later In the day on advices from New York, Canadian Pacific Was dull, while the Grand Trunks were mixed, with the feel ing In regard to the shares more cheerful, Home rails, while slow, held well. South American rails were steady, but dealings wore on a small scale. Foreigners were Idle, pending developments at the Paris settlement. Londen N, Y.

Throughout most of the session Cramp was neglected, falling entirely to continue yesterdsty's upward flight, but around I o'clock buy ing orders began to appear nnd tho stock beenmo buoyant. Meantime, Cambria Steel nlso was In good demand and ad vanced a substantial fraction. United Btntos Steel was nctlve. but Irregular, following Its' Wall street fluctuations. The local tractions continued to attract n certain amount of attention by reason of their llrmneM In face of tho uncer tainty else here. Tonopah Uclmont was not affected by the August report, which showed net earnings of $6S,S25 for tho month. Tho usual dividends wero de clared on Philadelphia Company common nnd cumulative preferred shares. Heading was slightly depressed, al though In the annual report President Rtoteslnlry regards as beneficial the re cent doclslon of tho Kedoral Circuit Court In tho suit for tho dissolution of the company under tho anti-trust law. Ho says that tho declRlon holds squarely that the plan of reorganisation ndopted In 1004 wns nn honest attempt to copo with a perplexing sltuntlon and to savo an ex ceedingly valuable property. Points of difference outstanding, he adds, can bo ttndlly adjttstrd. Nearly nil tho decrease shown by the railway company for tho last year was offset by cutting expenses, Hiid tho cor puiato net Income was only $33,000 under tho pervious car. Tho great depression In tho conl business did not prevent the maintenance of tho mines In perfect re pair. Tho Pending Company as a whole showed lees than 0 per cent, earned on tho common stock, against about 12 per cent, last year. Gossip among tho Philadelphia broker ago houses today chiefly centred nround tho proposed Allied loan. Thero wns a tendency In some quarters to predict that If a bond Issue without collateral was de cided upon tho rate of Inteiest would have to be pbovo 5 per cent or the maturity short. It was pointed out that tho 30,000, 000 Trench loan had fallen recently to practically a 7 per cent, basis and had been offered nt that figure. Uvcn though Ilrltlsh credit were added. It was averred thnt the more fact that tho enemy now occupies French soil nnd not that of England by no means Is nssuianco thnt tho latter might not bo Invaded as well. Ncverthlcss, since tho negntlatiftns have been In progress the French 5 per cent, notes have shown a tendency to Improve. Last Monday they were quoted 979i at 98'i. anil since them havo moved up to 9SUj at 38)i. It Is worthy of note that tho German loan recently placed here has gradually been rising, until it Is now quoted around 90. It was stated In well-informed quarters however, that this had been receiving Government support and that It was easy to hold It up, owing to Its small size, oiils $10,000,000, and tho fact that It matures In Innunrv and will In all probability be paid oft. Tho street learned today that the allied loan had been practically ar ranged, but details wero still lacking. DROP IN ENGLISH RESERVES Bank of England Shows Decrease of 3,466,000 LONDON, Sept. 16.

Vanderllp, presi dent of the National City Bank ot New York, said In part: "You are facing a period when the demands upon capital aro going to be very great, and tho rates aro going to averago higher than we have been used to. In addition to the requirements of foreign governments tho railroads arid Industrials which have been pursuing a policy of retrenchment will have Importunate demands for capi tal. Certain Industries, notably those en gaged in the production of munitions ot war, are crowing rapidly, and the Im provement of their credit is placing theni In a position to demand capital In largo amounts. Do not let low rates for bank loans lead you Into any belief that the destruction of capital In Europe will not have Its effect upon the price of Invest ment capital In America."

SEABOARD AIR LINE NEW CONSOLIDATION ' ' 1 KSHSBSISSI Will Tap Productive Cotton nnd Tobacco Lands Big Bond Issue Planned The consolidation ot the lines of the Seaboard Air Line and the partial re nouncing of the company should prova of great benefit not only to the road lt self, hut to the country through which It operates. Tho lines added to the system through consolidation ot subsidiaries with the parent company are chiefly math Una properties nnd Include the Carolina. At Inntlc .V Wektern Hallway, which Is l. self n recent consolldat.on ot tho North & South Carolina; tho Charleston North. em and tho South Carolina Western, operating In all about 416 miles and gives tho Seaboard an entry Into Charleston. This lino will be extended to Savannah by tho construction of 8$ miles of railroad with n maximum grnda of but 3-10 of I per cent. The now territory thus opened up la rich In cotton nnd tobacco. It Is proposed to change the name ot tho Senbonrd Air Line to the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company, and a new mortgano of 1300.000,000 will lie executed authorizing bonds to that amount It will be a first npd consolidated mort gage nnd a banking syndicate headed by tho Guaranty Trust Company of New Yorlc, and Including prominent banking Institutions throughout tho Country, has atrendy purchased $22,893,009 of the 'lew bonds which bear Interest at 6 per cent, maturing In 30 years. The preferred and common stock of the present Seaboard Air Line will be retired through exchange for shares of the new company. The new preferred will be entitled to dividends nt 8 per cent, In preference to the common, whereas the presont preferred Is entitled to only 4 per cent, and to an additional 2 per cent. when tho common lias received 4 per cent. In consideration of tho new terms therefore the hbldera ot old preferred will receive a smaller amount of new preferred than they now hold. The old common, however, will be exchanged share for share of the new common. Thero Is now outstanding $23,691,100 old preferred nnd $37,019,400 old common. Tho nbovo map shows tho portion ot the Seaboard system affected by the combination of now lines, Including the proposed line to do mint from Charleston to Savannah. PUBLIC UTILITIES Of SOOO Brooklyn Itapld Transit em ployes, 6200 have applied for Insurance under the group plan, according to Btatemcnt Issued yesterday by the com pany. As a result, no physical examin ation will be required, more than the requisite number having applied under the waiver agreement. The plan, an nounced July SO, involves a premium of nearly $60,000 a year, one-halt paid by the employes and one-half by the com pany, Retiring employes will be con tinued In a $1000 policy without cost. It Is understood that plans have been arranged for extension of the Phoenix vllle, Valley Forgo and Strafford Electrlo Itallwnv from Valley I'orirn tn cocct with the Philadelphia flnd Western Hall way at Bridgeport. Such development would hitch up nlso with the Pottstown and Phoenlxvillo Railway, which la con necting its lines by some new construc tion, and this would make the Philadel phia and Western Railway the terminal system for a new through electric line to Pottstown. The New Tork Upstate Public Service Commission has decided that It has no power to modify the terms of a franchise granted by a municipality. The New York and North Shore Traction Com pany applied to the commission, asking that it determine that the just and reasonable faro between Mlnaola and Port Washington was 15 cents instead of the 10 cents to which the road Is lim ited by the terms of Its franchise granted by the supervisors of Nassau County and the highway commissioners ot the town of North Hempstead. The attorneys for the road contended that the power to grant franchises In a municipality was but a power delegated to the municipality by the Legislature, and that the Legisla ture Itself, or the commission, to whom the Legislature has delegated general power over rates, could amend the fran chise. The case has been watched wth Interest by many street and Interurban railways and steam roads as, had It been decided that the commission had the power Invoked, nearly all cases In which an admittedly Inadequate return la now Imposed by the limitation of local fran chise might be brought before the com mission, without respect to the local authorities. The gross earnings of the Cities Serv ice Company In August were 312,7?5, In crease, $17,834; net, $299,170, Increase, $13,539, Twelve months' gross, $1,051,573, Increase, $380,09); net, $3,833,732, Increase, $321,207.
