FINANCIAL NEWS NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA STOCK MARKET QUOTATli
SMOOTH FINANCING OF U.S. LOAN
CAUSES IMPROVEMENT IN STOCKS
Pressure Against Leaders on New York -Exchange
Disappears Buying From Large and
Small Investment Houses
High Points in Today's Financial News
Pressure against leading slocks on .Yen) York exchange disappeared when
apprehension over Government financing teas eliminated. Tho Cttr6 itinrfcct
showed improvement. . Corn trading tcn small. Coflon antanceu Vorclgn
exchange uas dull. Tho Xcw York bank statement for tho week showcd.a big
increase In loans. Clearings of banks throughout tho country this iccck shoiecd
a gain over corresponding ivcck of lait year, liar silver was lower In JN'cto 1'orfc
and London,
NEW YORK. Nov. 17.
Tho action of tho block market In tho two hotirn of tradlnc today was ovl
denco that tho apprehension which existed In connection with Government
financing lias virtually disappeared. Thero was no prossuro of stocks except In
Dolawaro and Hudson, which for special reasons was In supply, continuing Its
downward movement and losing about 2 points, to 91'.
Ml through tho remainder of tho list wan an Increased demand, with buy
lug coming to n. great extent front liirgo and binall Investment houses, mid a
good part of tho trading In a number of Issues represented accumulation by
Insldo Interest. This was reflected In substantial gains all through tho early
trading, with tho steel Industrials as u group icspondlng to statements fioiu
ofllclal sources about hound trado conditions, with lialduln Locomotlvo making
a tesponbo to tho announcement In r6gard to Its locomotive; production by bc
coming tho most prominent feature nnd advancing 2.s tn 67!i,
United States Steel common moved up from 90T4 to 01?i, and many of tho
ateel Industrials mado gains of 1 to 2 points.
Tho pool In General Motors carried tho price of that etock up from 88H
to 87. . Studebaker followed with a gain of li to 40, and many of the special
ties, Including Industrial Alcohol, roso 1 point or moro during tho first hour.
Later tho demand slackened and recessions were In order toward tho close,
but tho market tone still hold strong.
There was further evidence of tho differences between tho Liberty Bond
Issuc3. Tho S's wero In constant demand from the oponlng, ndvnnrlng to 9D.12,
whilo tho 4s wero In supply, declining to tlin new low tecord of 88.18.
Checking Speculative Sales
The governors of tho New Voile Stock Kxchango this week hao broadened
their plan for placing check upon speculative bales on short account. On Novem
ber 1, It will bo recalled, resolutions wero adopted by the governors reqtilr'ng
members to fllo beforo or at noon each day a rccoid of tho storks they borrowed
and sold tb,o day preceding. Ono side would necessarily check tho other, thus
placing beforo the governors a complete list of tho operators who wero but rowing
btocks in largo quantities In order to make dellfrlcs on short commitments. At
that timo tho exchange committee did not proposo to scrutinize tho accounts of
customers, although as a matter of precaution it ordered members to fllo in scaled
cn elopes yio names of all clients for whom stocks wero being borrowed.
On Wednesday of this week, however, tho ruling was broadened, all members
being required from now on to deliver beforo noon every day "a statement of
amounts and names of all stocks sold and bought in on tho previous day for their
own account and also for tho account of their customers, stating their names."
Thus secrecy lids been lifted and shoit selling is open to official scrutiny. Very
few largo Interests would llko it to bo Known that they aro taking advantago of
tho demoralization caused by tho war to mako money by depressing prices'. So
long as they could accomplish this with a moderate degreo of scciecy they would
probably not restrain their operations too severely from purely patriotic motives.
Hut it certainly would from now on bo extremely dangerous for Washington and
similar Interests, for Instance, to bo uctlvo eelleis at a time when brokers must
Illo names of their clients. Tho subterfuge of using false names or dummy names
would, of courso, bo of no avail, elnco a broker Is supposed to Investlgato and as
sumo certain responsibility for his customers. Tho Stock exchange governors
certainly would not bo satisfied to accept dummy names should their Investi
gations disclose largo bhort selling by any firm of brokers.
Market Pirates Are Curbed
What Is happening Is really a repetition of what has occurred In times of
panic In tho past. Tho word has gono out that short sellings must coase.
Thoso who refuso to recognize tho edict do so at their peril. No member of
tho Stock Exchango who values his business or his future will daro to becomo
tho agent of any combination of market pirates. It would, for instance no bo a
dlfllcult matter, asldo from ubjectlng him to discipline by tho exchango com
mittee to expel him for tho good of tho service to arrango It so that his credit
facilities at his banks weie clipped without oven giving him an explanation.
Thus It seems fair to assumo that tho selling that Is taking placo from day
to day Is actual liquidation chiefly by discouraged"' holders, who aro becoming
alarmed at tho steady drop In prices and aro disposed, as Is usual at such times,
to turn their property Into cash.
Liberty Loan Payments Easily Made
The 18 per cent Installment upon tho second Liberty Loan, which was paid
on Thursday, caused scarcely a ripplo in Now York banking circles. Thl3 Is ono
of tho most remarkable feats of modern flnanco and bears testimony of tho
highest kind of tho efficiency of our new Federal banking system. Men of ex
perience In Wall street. If they look back nt former conditions, must almost
shudder at tho thought of the high lates of money that could not hao failed
to accompany a transaction involving tho payment of so many hundreds of
millions of dollars. It Is estimated, for Instance, that throughout tho country
many persons have- elected to pay for their bonds in full without taking advan
tago of the privilege of paying later Installments.
Asldo from the operations of tho I'cderal system, tho smooth running of tho
payments has, of course, been duo to scientific preparations mado In advance
For Instance, thero has been selling by tho Treasury of Its certificates in ad
vance. No less than $300,000,000 of these Treasury certificates of Indebtedness
matured on November 13 tho dato of tho loan Installment. Theso the banks
turned In either for redemption or in payment of the Liberty Loan, thus to that
extent making tho Installment on tho loan a bookkeeping transaction.
Wall Street and War Developments
Both tho Russian and tho Italian uncertainties havo contributed t(S tho
feeling of discouragement that so clearly has been displayed In Wall street
during the week. This Is, as has heretofore been explained In theo advices
a result of the view that theso deplorable developments mako necessary a re'
vision of tho estimates of tho dato when victory shall becomo possible War
today has no attraction for speculators for tho rise. Prices of labor aiid raw
materials havo soared to such lofty heights that correspondingly high selllntr
prices aro necessary. Tho Government, however, has como forward an,l l,-,.
established fixed prices for products. "J"
Whilo It is believed that theso prices ore, In the main profltablp thev
necessarily aro not based on war pro.lts, nor do they apparently tnk'o full
account of tho huge taxes of ono form or another which must be niid i
other words, tho days of overwhelming profits that wero available- beforo u'n
entered the list of belligerents have disappeared. What really has hamLnH
ts that in an Informal rather than a formal way Industry has been conscripted

COTTON IS ERRATIC
IN NERVOUS MARKET
Approximated Report on Gin
ning Causes No Revision of
Estimate of the Crop
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.
There was a reaction from the nervous
ness noted yesterday In the cptton market
today and tho tone was firmer In the main,
although price movements wero erratic at
times,
As far as could be learned tho approxi
mate report of tho Census Bureau on gin
ning, which will be made public at the be
ginning of business next Thursday, has not
caused any revision of estimate of tho crop,
nor -does thero -appear to have been any
change of opinion as to the extent of de
mesne mill requirements as suggested by
the bureau's statement on consumption of
the staple last Wednesday.
A renewal of confidence ws shown at the
opening on the part of traders because of
the fact that the rumors, late on Friday, of
a possibility 'of price fixing by the Govern
ment were said to be unfounded, and the
tone was strong, with advances of 31 to 34
points being recorded.
The buying was principally by those who
had been the heaviest sellers on the previous
day, and Included room traders and some
uptown Interests. Wall street purchased
the early position und sold the late options
and Liverpool was a moderate seller of
May, but at best the supply Was scattered
on local und advancing bids did not bring
out ti large line.
After the call.) the Higher prices brought
In a supply, mainly from commission linns,
nnd within a few minutes January reacted
23 points, only to be followed almost Im
mediately by a rally of 8 points. Other
options moved In sympathy with January,
which waa the steadiest, although the
changes both ways were smaller.
