psr. .YEJG (LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, ISIS': EINANCIAL NEWS Q. LOAN TO -THE ' WILL STIMULATE BUSINESS Money Raised Will Bo Spent Here Steel Trade the TfTMninnrif lTjnf-r Kfnnlra & "" """" wwvsmj f l Early Show of Firmness Rally at Close. KEW TOnK, Sept. 23. The Importance given by the financial district te.ttM negotiations over the big allied loan was reflected on tho Stock Ex y today, when tho report spread that a hitch had occurred In tho njotlAttons. The result was a general reaction, which In somo Instances teaded from E to 10 points. Later, when no proof of troublo was forthcom- I, the wholo market rallied again- Satisfactory conclusion of tho ncgotla ttMts appear to be all that Is needed now for an uplift In general business. Tfce country, on tho whole, Is on the eve of a big expansion, 'and tho most .iwtent factor nt the moment Is the Improvement In the steel trade, where i tVe demand has sent prices for products rapidly upward In the last few mths. Tho outlook. Indeed, Is of tho best. We have plenty of money, kwier crops aro assured and we are r'eady to lncrcaso our foreign trade. Whllo It Is true that tho foreign demand for stool products Is tho most etomlnant factor at the moment, the domestic demand Is gradually becoming larger. Railroads are buying more steel, whllo many of them have put out Inquiries for delivery next year. That It will tako somo time before the huge Anglo-French loan is arranged there can bo very little doubt, bul its ultimate success Is assured. It must fc remembered that anything of this size cannot be brought to a head over Bight. But that some agreement will be finally reached there can bo very Mttto doubt. Many have come to regard the loan as Just aa necessary to Me country as it Is to the Allies. The money raised will not be takon out. bat will be spent here for necessities, which means that, instead of lying piled Mp In bank vaults as a .big surplus, the money will be put to some use, going Into business channels. In the stock market little attention haa been given to the railroad shares fer some time past, the majority of tho trading being In tho Industrials, where the demand has been heavy at rising prices, brought about by tho large earn ings of the various companies because of war orders chiefly. Tho $G0 cash dividend declared by tho General Motors Company is still an lnfluenco In this group of securities, and then, too, rooro war orders are expected. Tho railroad shares should, bo given more attention. Earnings are showing up well aa compared with last year, and tho outlook Is good. Ono thing which has been holding them back Is the foreign selling, with the purposo of stabiliz ing exchango rates. With the big loan arranged, this will bo out of the way. The markot today was In a waiting mood, and after a firm opening prices were inclined to react on rumors of a hitch In tho allied loan negotiations. At the outset AmcrlcanChlcle, JuBt admitted to tho list, Jumped 10 points to 219, ngalnst 209, Its final curb quotation yesterday. American Car and Foundry was one of the most prominent features of tho minor industrials, rising over a point New York Air Braku stnrted 2 higher at 162, but quickly lost tho gain. American Can, Colorado Fuel, Republic Iron and Steel and Great Northern Ore Bharcd in tho upward movement, but United States Steel reacted under profit-taking. An eight-point drop in General Motors around midday unsettled tho list and prices declined all around. Willys-Overland, Crucibles Steel nnd other recent leaders were -down two rtnd three points, and United States Steel lost joro than a dollar. Trading became very active on tho recession, over half a million shares having changed hands before midday. Tho suspension of a targe Pittsburgh brokerage firm was responsible for somo of tho selling, but ' the market became steadier in the afternoon. ( In tho last hour" prices rallied under a renewal of bull manipulation In Colorado Fuel and Baldwin Locomotive. General Motors, however, remained depressed. United States Steel recovered Its loss. The closo was Irregular. An encouraging Item of the day's news was a very favorable August statement of earnings by the Southern Pacific. Both in gross and net, gains i ef more than a million dollars were reported over tho same period last year. New York Stock Exchange Member Suspended Percy E. Donner, board member of the New York Stock Exchango firm ef Donner, Chllds & Woods, of Pittsburgh, has been suspended by tho Govern ing Commltteo of the exchange for one year. Mr. Donner is accused of doing business with bucket shops, nnd Is given tho maximum penalty for violation of the rule of tho exchange prohibiting such transactions. The firm of Donner, Chllds & Woods is an important one. The members are Percy E. Donner, Clinton I. Chllds and Charles W. Woods, all of Pittsburgh. It has no New York office.

September wheat continued to feature tho market at tho openlnir today. Shorts, fearing there would not bo ulTlclent nvallable for de livery by tho end of the month, kept cov ering, nnd following tho opening at (1.07U. more than a cent better than yesterday's closing quotations, tho price roso steadily In tho early hours, liccomlng desperate, shorts bought springs to fill orders, but most longs refused to accept. This has necessitated a special session of the dl rectora of the Hoard of Trado. One large house Is said to bo 6,000,000 bushels short In September. Others, large and small, are said to bo struggling In the net and prloes. It Is expected, will not suffer any depression until the end-oMhe-month ad justment. In the afternoon, when the covering movement had been completed, renewed offerings appeared, and prices fell back all around. Corn also weakened, but oats held Arm. The close found wheat a cent or more below last night. Cash wheat remained Arm. Millers are buying spring wheat to make up the de ficiency In winter wheat. The demand for spring wheat Is sufficient to keep It free of congestion, although arrivals aro In creasing. Winter movement continues re stricted and the wheat Is grading poorly. Therefore September occupies the centre of the stage, with a strong bull senti ment, while other futures are held steady under bearish pressure. Trading In Sep tember In the early hours was exceedingly, light, although many anxious buyers could be found. Liverpool was firm In rill departments. cargoes and spot remained unchanged. Argentina wenther In the Pnmpa and Cordoba districts Is fnr from satisfac tory. Estimated shipments for tho week are 160,000 bushclB of wheat, against 720, 000 bushels last week, nnd 136,000 bushels In the corresponding period of a year ngo. Corn shipments total 6,G25,000 bush els, as compared with 5,959,000 last week and 3,128,000 bushels last year. Leading futures ranged as follows: Yest'd's Wheat Open. Hlsh.
