Tlie hlchcr prices cstabllihed for many stocks In yesterday's trndlns made tho market generally n little moro sensltlvo today to tho uncertain character of tho war news, with United States Steel showing a heavy tone and sustaining; a fractional loss In the short session on tho stoclc cxcliango. Muny stocks, however, were In urgent demand at times, and several mado new high prices for this movement, interest bclns nttached to tho thlpplne group, with Marino issues attracting most attention. A general understanding that another extra dividend will bo declared soon on tho preferred slock was responded to with an advanco of 2 points, carrying the prlco up to above 100. Tho common mado a gain of Ti to 271. There- was a continuation of the persistent buying of Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies, which rose from ll-H; to 120, and United Trult followed with a gain of 2? to 131'i. Sex oral of tho minor ttecl Industrials were nlso established at higher figure? for the movement, Ilaltluln Locomotive advancln; 1 point to 73, and Cruclblo Steel moving up 1 to C2. There was urgent demand also In Sloss-Slicfrield, which roso ii. to BO. American Hide and Leather shares were among other strong features. General Motor was again exceptionally weak, falling more than 3 points. Most interest in tho bond market continued concentrated in tho Liberty Bond Issues, with tho 3's ranging from 97.00 to 08,10, and sec ond in, after selling at 9C, reacting to 03.81. Hallway bonds wcro firm. Banks Must Shoulder Next Issue of War Bonds Bankers of this city seem to agree that Becrctary McAdoo's lnvlta . lion to tho banks of the country to subscrlbo $250,000,000 a week In tho form of purchases of certificates of Indebtedness means that the burden of tho next Issue of war bonds must bo shouldered by tho financial Institutions. These certificates of indebtedness will bo distributed at tho rate mentioned until the banks havo taken a total of $3,000,000,000. They are, of course, redeemable in cash at maturity. But tho direct purpose of Issuing them, asldo from tho possibility of delaying tho public offering of tho new loan for a moro propitious time, will bo tho accumulation of funds by tho Treasury In advance of tho bond offering. The certificates aro acceptable nt par for subscilptlon to tho new loan, nnd it Is taken for granted that tho banks themselves will Induce their customers to sub scribe a sufficient amount to take caro of tho certificates which they themselves have purchased. Gradually, but surely, the banks arc falling under control of tho Administration on the samo lines as nil other branches or national ac tivities. Flotations of new capital for any nonessential enterprises havo definitely ceased untit tho war ends; speculation on the Stock Hxchange has assumed such elemental proportions that a minimum of banking accommodation is required in that direction; Industrial corpora tions requiring working capital to enable them to financo their war con tracts do not need to go to their banks, for Washington, as a settled policy, Is arranging to provide tho necessary advances on contracts; gen eral business is becoming so subservient to tho exigencies of tho war that mercantilo houses are likewise below tholr normal requirements at this season; and last, b'ut not least, the day of largo profits In tho form of high rates has passed to far as bankers aro concerned, slnco under tho operation of the Federal reserve system rates today are i-irtually under control. In these circumstances it seems to be becoming increasingly apparent that banking as well as transportation and industry is to occupy nn arbi trary position during tho remainder of tho war. Securities Under Observation Another example of the contraction In tho banking world has been the appointment of a commltteo of three, with Allan It, Forbes as chair man, to act In an advisory capacity with respect to the Issuance of se curities. This committee will ndtlso tho capital Issues committee, which will pass upon applications of Issues of prlvato securities. This com mltteo will concern Itself with security irsues of $500,000 and moro in tho caso of industrial and public utility corporations and $230,000 nnd moro In tho caso of States, counties and municipalities running for n term of not less than ono year. It Is intimated that tho committee does not necessarily plan to exclude from Its observations Issues of smaller sums, but it is not yet prepared to pass upon such investments. The members of the capital issues committee aro Paul M. Warburg, Charles S. Hamlin and Frederick A. Delano, all members of the Federal Ilcsorve Board.
