EVENING LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1915.
FINANCIAL NEWS
.WEEK STARTED WITH CONTINUED
DEMAND FROM THE SPECULATORS
Many New High Records Established by Specialties.
War Stocks Reacted Late in Day While
Railroads Became Strong
NEW YOnK. Oct. .
Th wck In stocks opened with speculative cnthuslnsm unchllled. Again
brokers specializing In the war stocks had business up to their ability to
execute the orders. More than 400,000 sharei chatiRed hands In the flint hour
alono. Westlntshouse and Can common were the most active and strongest
of the special stocks. Wall street report hns It that both companies are assured
of largo additional war orders as soon as the money on the Anglo-French
loan la In bank. T). a. Held, of the American Can, Is said to have come for
ward handsomely In il subscription to the war loan nnd to stand in high favor
at the Morgart olllcca. '
Tho bull argument most frequently heard related to tho wnr stocks exclu
sively. It dealt particularly on tho success of tho Anglo-French loan und the
assurance that enough funds will be at tho disposal of tho Allies, whatever their
resources fOr other purchases. Wall street Is keen to hear tho list of Individual
subscribers, for It Is naturally felt that this list will point to tho companies moit
likely to receive tho big war orders.
It wan announced by J. P. Morgan & Co. this afternoon that the subscription
books for the $ou0UU0,000 loan will be closed at 10 a. m. tomorrow morning,
en earlier time than had been anticipated. The early closing Is duo to heavy
subscriptions over the week-end, Tho nmnunt of the subscriptions has not been
tabulated, but a largo oversubscription Is assured. Many of the largo subscrip
tions will be scaled, so as to accommodate small Investors.
The London market for Americans was heavy, with losses In most of tho
International rails before tho New York opening. Foreign selling of securities
continues, and the effect Is still noted In the market for seasoned securities.
In the continued uplift of the specialties on the exchange many new high
records were established, most notable being liethlehem Steel, which bounded
MP 24H points. General Electric also reached a new top, over seven points above
tho final of Saturday, as did Wlllys-Oveilund, which at ono time showed a
rain of 13 points. Westlnghouse Kloqtrlc touched a new high mark, but lost
some of Its gain. Lmrlng the morning little attention wns paid to tho railroad
shares, but when It whs announced that the subscription books for tho huge
Allied loan would be closed tomorrow It was a signal for demand for those
Issues, and the majority of the group became strong, being led b Heading.
Late lu the day specialties reacted under profit-taking, while the rnllrontW
remained strong.
Tho rapid upward pace In the stock m.irket, especially In the war special
ties, which has been going on vlrtuully unubatcd for tho Inst 10 days or so,
calls for consideration as to whether the market Is moving upward too fast.
The consensus of opinion Is that t Is and that a halt In the upswing ut this
time would be beneficial all nround. The rapid strides which prices have mndo
toward higher levels have not been general throughout the list, the leading
standard Issues, such no the big railroad shares and others of the more stable
type, coppers among them, have been lost sight of in the urgent efforts of
speculators to secure the specialties.
International Nickel Stock Dividend
At a meeting of the International Nickel Company directors this afternoon
stock dividend of 10 per cent, was declared on the common shares, pa.vable
November 1 to stock of record October 15. It was explained this was In
addition to tash dividends. The usual quarterly preferred pavment was also
announced.
GRAINS ADVANCED
IN CHICAGO MARKET
Large Receipts Rapidly Dis
posed Of Less Demand
for Oats
CHICAGO. Oct. 4 -The grain market at
the opening today appeared to bo well
supported and opening quotations com
pared favorably with those of Saturday's
closing. Scattered commission lioune buy
ing In the early hours held prices firm in
wheat.
Bears and bulls are about equally di
vided. The former, viewing the record
breaking crop and the difficulties in get
ting orders to Entern and European buy
ers, predict an early decline. Bulls are
confident that an" early adjustment of
eld difficulties will bo effected and tho
consummation of the Anglo-French loan
will Improve tho foreign demand.
Tho market In the early hour was ex
ceedingly dull. Trading was light and
th changes In prices were confined to a
narrow gauge. At the end of the day
December was up nearly 2 cents and
May ltt cents.
Receipts are continuing In large quan
tities, but they are being disposed of so
quickly that hardly any Increase In stocks
Is noticed. Corn Is entirely a weather
proposition. So far the crop has been
greatly benefited by the continuity of
Warm weather, and each day the frost
hOlds off adds millions of bushels to the
harvest. The present prices are such
that Argentine corn s knocked out of
competition. '
A falling oft in the demand for oats
has caused an easier feeling. The un
dertone, however, Is firm.
Exports from North America for last
week totaled 9,112.000 bushels of wheat,
of which 1,144,000 bushels went out as
Hour, IM.OOO bushels of porn .and 2.008.000
bushels of oats.
Light receipts and Inadequate shipping
held the Liverpool market steady. 8pot
and cargoes were strong and well supported.

Financial Situation in U. S.
Justifies 712 Per Cent.
Interest Charge
ASSISTANCE WORTH IT
By FRANCIS W. HIRST
Kdltor of "The Economist."
Sjiteial Cable to the ienlH0 Ltiotr.
LONDON', Oct. 4 The conclusion of the
Anglo-French loan Is regarded with ant
Isfnctton here ns ccrtnln to benefit ex
change nnd fncllltnte Mar finance. We nre
not surprised to hear that tho loan if
proving very satisfactory on your side.
The Manchester Gunrdlan point out
hnt, allowing for taxes, commission, etc.,
our Government must be paylns 7 per
cent for nccommodatloVi In New York, as
ncalmt 414 per tent. In London. On the
other hand, IntetllKent critics here real
lie that tho high rate was necessary, for
they understand our financial situation
Is dlfllcult, because during tho ear yon
hao been repurchasing securities from
Europe and lending far more money out
sldo the United States than usual Sea
clal circumstances of the moment tin
doubtcdl rmlto the loan extremely valu
able to the Allies Wo are Kind to le.irn
that subscriptions ore pouring In.
The successes In France and Klandera
liavo given much encouragement here.
The military situation In Ilussla looks bet
ter The adjournment of Parliament will
enable the Chancellor of the Exchequer
to lmproc his budget proposals Tho war
profltB clause needs revision and tho
project of deducting Income tax from In
terest paid on deposits may perhaps bo
dropped Withdraw at of the duties on
commercial motorcars, plate glass and
hats makes n big hole In tho prospective
tevenues. Our piano manufacturers havo
already raised prices, nnd motorcars, old
and new, are dearer.
Neutral repot is from Germany Indicate
depression and earning for peace among
tho people at large The movement for the
annexation of Belgium Is trnld to hao col
lapsed Our bank return, showing a fall In
private deposits, points to a continuation
of dearer money.

that iornlnp.8 did not Justify the high
prices to which they 'pave- recently risen
Local traders have made relatively lit
tle out of the big ndvances In certain
Issues, such as Baldwin. Carrfbria Steel
and others. Most of tho big buying has
been for New York account, where knowl
edge of pending war orders was first
obtainable. When a hanker knows posi
tively where n certain order for material
Is to bo placed, It Is a simple pronotl
tlon to quietly buy up n good-sized block
of the stock of the company which la to
receive the order. When the news finally
leaks out the shares run up rapidly nnd
the banker quietly unloads. This Is said
to have been done In a number of cases
In this city as well as ln New York.
