Some I 'of these Issues were sold before a single ndvertlsement uppcarcd In the jpapers becauso of tho enormous umoiint of free advertising of tho most valuablo kind which lias been given to the subject of Investments In general and Government loans In particular during thp last year. While It may not be. judicious to put out new Issues for large amounts at present without consulting the Government, there is a big Held for a new class of investors jhij-gcnor.iHIsts of securities. lumor of New Issue by General Electric Subsidiary Tho decline of several points In General Klectrlc In the forenoon of jesterday from the closing quotation on Saturday was said to be on a rumor of a new Issue of bonds by n subsidiary company. .'n definite Information could bu had about this new Issue yesterday except that It Is likely to bo announced this morning and that It will be exceedingly attractive. The offering, it was rumored, would be two-year 6 per cent ibonds nt it price to yield the Investor 7 per .cent. The unqualllled success attending the sale of the $40,000,000 Ameri ca!) Telephone and Telegraph Company's one-year notes was generally commented unon In n favorable manner. Ono broker. In sneaking of fthe matter, said It was the cleanest sale of a large Issue he had ever known. It was said that there were very few of the houses to whom allotments wcro made that had not sold put before they received their allotments, , When one copies to study the matter, there Is not a single utility that !can compare with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. It Is as necessary to the transaction of inoder.n business as our transporta tion systems. The whole structure, of every business In the country .would collapso If this convenience weie for tiny reason withdrawn, and no business can gef along without It, This, home contend, accounts largely for tho popularity of Its securities, ns shown by this sale. tailroad Securities Inactive Pending Legislation No great activity is looked for In railroad securities till Congress acts on tho Administration railroad bill, which was to be under con sideration yesterday by the Interstate Commerce Committees of both tho Benato and tho House.

One thing la particularly noticeable, nnd that Is the brevity of the time given to the roads to supply the Information called fcr. ,, Another point noticed Is tho separation of essentials from non-essentials In tho matter of extensions and equipment needed. No less warmly commended wns Mr. McAdoo's ruling on demurrage, Which, under present conditions, Is, not considered any too drastic, and la generally believed will accomplish the object to be attained In the briefest possible time. Any merchant will think twice before paying $10 day for the storage privilege of one car ufter the eighth day. orrow Caused bu Edward B. Smith's Death The death of Kdwurtl II, Smith cast a gloom In many brokers' otllces na nnanclal Institutions In this city when It was announced early jes jerday morning. Itegret 'was universal, nnd many were the kindly ex pressions of his former friends nnd associates. It was freely remarked that the firm of Kdward II.
