ISSIP OF THE

' tlon If0 nd,,ea thilt llls flrm ,lnl liccn m,s" for the last two days, particularly In
', jtijing orders for railroad equipment notes.
The National City Company also reported n Rood deal of activity for tho last
' jw0 days In both public utilities and railroad equipments. Some largo orders for
the latter were taken yesterday.
1 Another downtown house reported a sale yesterday of $100,000 bonds of tho
jUhonlng and Shenango Hallway Company. Tho manager of this house said that
they hart recently sold nil tho lssuo of Mahoning nnd Shcnango short-term notes,
but he 'as not prlnl whether there would bo additional financing of this company.
' The demands on tho company for power recently are enormous, as many manu
facturers In that section nro using electric power, where fortneily they employed
; jteatn. Tho shortage of coal is causing this condition, he said, and the company
i Is trying to meet it by installing new and larger units all tho time.
Fall in Liberty Bonds Deemed Natural
The 18 per cent installment due yesterday on tho second liberty Loan, with
presumably tho sale by holders of the first 3', per cents to make good their pay
ments, was said to be tho principal cause of tho decline In both issues. This
t-as confirmed in part by the largo liquidation In tho 3V4s as compared with tho 4s
In tho local market, but which obtained to a much greater extent'ln tho New York
market.
' It nas said by some bankers that a number of persons, carried away by the
enthusiasm of tho second Liberty Loan campaign, hud taken more than they could
veil take care of, and were selling some of tho 3 tin to meet tho payments on tho 4s.
It was also said that an analysis of tho trading In Liberty Uonds through the
Investment houses showed that many country banks were In tho market, and had
taken bonds In excess of what they could dlsposo of or nbsorb themselves. This
was not generally supposed to bo tho case, as complaint came frequently during the
lecond campaign that the out-of-town banks were not measuring up to what was
expected from them.
The limited trading in the 4 per cents was possibly due In a great degree to the
(act that tho trading was confined to bonds sold outright for cash during tho cam
paign, and were actually in the hands of the sellers.
IJvery place where tho IS per cent Installment was received today was crowded
ulth long lines of subscribers awaiting their turn to pay. In most cases, however,
the transaction wns carried out by u transfer of credit at tho different banks nnd
tr'nst companies. At tho building on South Fourth street near Chestnut, whero
the first Liberty Loan committee has Its headquarters, the lino of subscribers
extended a considerable .distance on tho sidewalk from the entrance.
An instance occurred today in tho ofllco of a well-known banking houso In
connection with this 18 per cent installment which, It is hoped anil believed,
Is very rare.
A man presented a hill which hail been mailed to him by the banking houso
calling his attention to the dato of payment and tho amount duo on the bonds for
uhlcli he subscribed. Ho asked what tho bill meant, and when explained, ho
remarked that lie had not subscribed for tho bonds. Tho subscription blank was
referred to and tho nuine and address were correct In every detail, but tho man
maintained ho had not subscribed, There was only one thing to do, and as the
manager remarked. It was possibly a case of aphasia.
The decllno In tho prlco of Liberty Uonds is not looked upon seriously by tho
tankB nnd brokers, It Is considered principally as duo to tho efforts of some
subscribers to both Issues in raising tho cash to meet this IS per cent Installment.
Lancaster Farmers Laggards in Buying Bonds
The manager of Morris Hrothcrs, Investment bankers in the Morris Uulldlng,
Chestnut street near Fifteenth, returned today from an extended trip through
Lancaster County and reports conditions for the sale of securities In that section
as" very poor at present, notwithstanding the fact that tho farmers nro making
money as they never did before. Tobacco, he says, In some Instance, Is bringing
the farmers thirty-one cents a pound, nnd formerly they made money when it
uruuKiu uiu.v ii'n renin. unit luiiuui,
'S hlch he sold at tho rate of $400 an
J $16,000. Other farm produce, ho remarked, Is bringing proportionately high prices.
l Tho fanners of Lancaster County, ho said, are not selling their corn. They go
i cut to Chicago and buy lean caltlo from
I, jear, bring them homo and feed them on
( become fnt. In former years they made more money out of their com In this
" way, but with corn bringing the prlco which It is now, It Is u question whether
. this plan is the more profitable this year. Ho also says that the hanks of Lancaster
County are filled up with "cattle, notes," (hut Is, notes given by tho farmers for
, money advanced by tho banks to pay for these cattle, and that these notes run
for from tlilify days to four months.
Instead of buying bonds or even fwo or. three-year short-term notes, ho said,
the Lancaster County banks arc buying n good ileal of commercial paper, and thus
J keeping their assets liquid to meet any calls which may be made by the (loverument
) financing. A great many banks in Lancaster, according to tho lnformatbu ho
received, aie carrying largo amounts of 4 per cent Liberty Itoiuls.
Ono small bank that ho visited in a rural district subscribed for $135,000
, Liberty 4s and has only been able to dlsposo of $35,000 to their customers up to
the present, nnd from Information and reports he received thcro arc many, of tho
t imaller banks in u similar condition.

t'i .There was a statement circulated
effect that tho (iovernment whs about to llx a price, stated to be clghty-flvo cents
an Ounce, for silver nnd, in addition, would commandeer four-llfths of tho country's
IiX, lUver, output for the coming year.

Into as to Its effect on the silver market
tf discission was carried out us to tho ratio
told. This is was stated to be as 24 to 1, gold being worth $20.67 an ounce.
Inquiry at tho Philadelphia Mint resulted in the whole story being Mumped as a
canard by Assistant Superintendent Meredith, In the nbsenco of Superintendent
Joyce.
Later in tho day a dispatch from New Y'ork announced a purchase by the Gov
ernment by contract with tho smelters of 100,000,000 ounces of silver, 40,000,000
ounces of this being for Creat Urltaln. Tho price, it was stated, was in tho neigh
borhood of $1 per ounce.
If this proves correct, It will certainly have a bullish effect on the silver
quotations.
One of tho best known curb brokers In the city, who has given n good deal of
attention to silver, said if the purchase was eventually confirmed, even If tho prlco
hould prove to bo eighty-five cents, it would havo a' good effect on silver quotations,
In 191C tho United States produced 74,000,000 ounces of silver Snd of this
24,000,000 ounces were used for coins of tho United States. The coinage both here
and In Great Britain will require larger amounts this year than ever before, and
If It Is true that only 60,000,000 ounces of this purchaso have been reserved for our
own coinage, thero will certainly bo uddltionul purclins.es for this purposo during
the year.

'The Orchid
Delicate, fragile, beautiful Eva Lavalliere vanished from the
gay life of Paris at the very pinnacle of her fame.
The Theatre des Varieties and the Cafe de la Paix missed the
exotic charm of her personality, the subtle lure of her smile. All
