EWE LOAN TO THE ALLIES
VIRTUALLY ALL SUBSCRIBED
It
FOR
mcement of Completion of Syndicate Expected
Soon Speculators Disregarding Position of Com
pany in Buying Specialties
-
NEW YOIUC Oct 2.
Wth the success of the huge loan to the Allies assured, so much so that
Is the opinion that It will be oversubscribed, one of the most Important things
the financial world against the continued uplift of business has been ro
ved. Although no official statement has as yet been mado It Is understood
t virtually the whole amount of tho $500,000,000 loan has already been taken
by banks, trust companies and Investors throughout the country. It Is expected
a formal announcement of tho completion of the syndicate handling tho
will be made In the near future, probably late today or on Monday.
An Indication of the continued Improvement In general business Is contained
week In the further gain In bank clearings reported for the country. This
for Instance, there was an increase of slightly more than 49 per cent, as
compared with tho same week of last year. When It is taken Into consideration
the this Improvement has now been going steadily on for a considerable period
9t mutt be admitted that business must be getting better. Reports of various
ttdes are also hotter, less consideration being given to the European war or
rtsi effecta.
Aside from a larger demand for funds from Interior banks there Is very
fettle oiuuige In the money market, which It was thought would tighten up a
Mile as the result of the floating of the big foreign loan. As this month wears
ft it must be expected, however, that the demands for funds for the move
fcMt of crops will Increase.
' While the market has been Intensely active and crloes of some of the
ceMtve) stocks have advanced Impressively this week, the average of prices of
tfcei statistical rails and Industrials has not moved upward with nny enthusiasm.
Yesterday and today bearish operators have been encouraged. They have mado
,W"" In selling some of the specialties which have scored great advances In
Weeat weeks.
. J It hao boen a period of easy-money making for speculators who sensed
the popular mood. These speculators have thrown away all tho old reports
at earnings and condition and will not look at an analysis of a company's
fetslaess. All they look at Is tho tope. One of them, a broker of wide ox
Yrleeoe, starts every morning- with an open book. He takes his position
gJMlcle) the tiGkftr And Tvtkltu unfll mnmt. atruV In wfelfV, .niMilnllAn Un . kAM
.'twen shows signs of activity and strength.
, He takes on that stock, regardless of its performances in the past. Ho may
kaow In his own mind that the stock has never been of any account. That
Makes no difference. He sees that some people nro trying to make a market
maa. he Is willing to help them for a while. Ho has caught several wldo ad
vances In this way and always closes out beforo the end of the session. The
asse cannot be beaten Indefinitely In that way and tho sDeculator realizes it.
.at whatever profits he makes he can enjoy in the evening. He has not tho
worry or tno man who carries stocks overnight and dreams about the Germans.
THO stock market today was not without Its customary high records, and
were estanilsned by Bethlehem Steel and Westinehouse Electric. Thn
kief demand was for the latter lssuo and It led the upswing in tho specialties,
mining within a fraction of 64 points In the two hotirn nf trading whiio
yBfelfllehem was up a full 10 points. As has been the case for some time now
.there was very little done In the railroad group. The principal reason for tho
jmwing in wesungnouse appeared to bo the decision of tho company's em
4oyes against a strike, and during the opening hour one-third of th mnrw.
trading was In this issue. American Car and Foundrv wan nnntvipr otmno
Issue, advancing 11 points.

WHEAT PRICES UP;
SALES SCATTERED
Receipts From Northwest Con
tinue to Increase Better
Winter Movement Expected
CHICAGO, Oct. 2. The grain mnrket
opened easier today with eaten scattered.
Northwest receipts continue to Increase
and bears are predicting- declines In wheat
values. A better winter movement Is
soon expected. Late In tho day the mar
ket became strong, December showlne
a gain of IVi cents and May 1H cents.
Unless foreign orders grow, It Is be
lieved by a majority, that the bears'
prediction will come true. Millers, who
havo been buying largely on the recent
breaks, are Bald to be temporarily satis
fied. Completion ot the details necessary lor
the consummation of the Anglo-French
loan. It Is believed, will speed up foreign
business. ,
Exporters are confronted with a per
plexing problem In securing tonnage for
ocean transportation. When It Is possible
to securo a ship the rato for tho shipment
Is so great as to bo almost prohibitory.
Corn and oats continued ralrly steady
It Is reported that the corn market Is
oversold. Unsettled weather In the corn
belt Is assisting In holding prices steady.
Oats sales were scarce.
Export sales reported aggregated 400,000
bushels Manltobos and 300,000 bushels of
oats. Chicago cash handlers sold for sea
board delivery 160,000 bushels oats.
Scarcity of Imports has offset the weak
ness of the Winnipeg market, and Liver
pool, whllo reporting restricted business,
was steady. Cargoes and spot remained
unchanged.

COTTON EASIER
NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-An easier tendency
was displayed In the cotton market today and
business waa more active on tho call than
It had been for a few days. Offerings were
quite lower, but there was some good Wall
street and commission house buying. Octo
ber was down 10 points at the start and
other options were off 11 to 14 points. A de
cline at Liverpool was believed to have been
the cause ot the easiness here.
Before the cloee slight recoveries occurred
end the declines were reduced to from 0 to 12
points under Friday's final figures. The re
opening of the New Orleans Exchange helped
sentiment.

New High Records Established Railroads Taking A4-1
Investors After High-Grade Bonds
Although no confirmation of either the
nrlll-Drlgg-s-Seabury or the Pennsylvania
Cambria steel mergers was forthcoming
this mornlns-, both Brill and Pennsyl
vania Bteel shares scored further wide
advances on the local exchange. In faot.
the dealings In these two stocka over
shadowed all else In the market and both
went to new high records for the year.
A factor which has gone far toward
boosting prices of securities of late has
been tho necessity of Investing tho Im
mense profits mado by both Individuals
and companies out of tho big war-order
Industries. An Illustration of this was
observed this week In the advertisement
of a well-known brokerage house, an
nouncing lhat It was In the market for
high-grade securities, In blocks of $25,000,
yielding the investor 4H per cent, or bet
ter. Another Instance was tho reported
bid by the head of a greaf powder manu
facturing establishment for no less than
130,000,000 worth of the Allied war loan.
This Is said to be tho largest request of
the kind ever made.
One large Philadelphia bond house re
ported that the demand for high-grade
bonds has Increased heavily of late. Dur
ing this week alone It has sold nearly
11.000,000 of city bonds and considerably
more than $00,000 of high-grade equip
ments. The manager Incidentally stated
that the market was practically bare of
best grade railroad and municipal bonds.
Tho Ally credit question has been act
ing as a brake upon general business and
trado for some weeks, and tho removal
of tlita deterrent factor should cans

low prices still available. Bteel Is golii
to cost the companies several dollars
ton more next year, and as prices are
steadily advancing those railroads that
came In the market early have imm
themselves a considerable sum ot money
Prices as yet are only about half si
high as they were In 1909. One Interest
ing development In tho steel Industry It
tho sharply Increased demand from
neutrat countries. During the first year
of the war exports to these was light.
As already stated, the general local
market remained relatively quiet, except
for the two stocks mentioned. Cambria
Bteel and United States Steel were well
taken, and so was Philadelphia Electrla
and Northern Central. Later prices re
acted, Cambria going below last night's
close, while Drill and Pennsylvania Steel
preferred lost a portion of their earlier
gains. There were Irregular recoveries
at tho close.
Approximately 26,000 shares of Cam
brla changed hands today. It was as
serted that tho liquidation of the Penn
sylvania's holdings had been completed
and that the Donner-Frlek Interests now
controlled the property. A similar method
ot transferring stock waa said to be now
In progress In Pennsylvania 8teel In the
late dealings Philadelphia Company stook
and 6 per cent bonds turned strong; the
latter advancing about two points.
