T-f r ' , -v -i.v ,'.$ ?SJP OF' Tim STREET SECURITY lARKETaaOW" GOOD EFFECT OF WAR NEWS; OPINIONS VARY ON MARINES Argentine Farmers, Unable to Get Ships to Move Their Crop, Said to Be Using Corn as Fuel. Gossip of the Street rplIURU was notliinc In the general news- jesterday hlch had any 4 particular bearing on the stock market, so the session wan rather uneventful. News from the European front, which was mainly that the Allies had become more oRRresshe over Sunday, that there whs u move ment In Russia looklnK tow, ml the vailing out of a new army, that Italy hadenough grain and crops were very promising, and that Argentina was burning corn for fuel because -hlps to carry It was-not available, all tended to have at Icust 11 favorable effect. It was expected In some quarters that the announcement that the railroads were to get about $1,000,000,000 from the Government for their upkeep would result in some spectacular . advances in rail shares, but the news had been discounted some time flRO when 100.000 cars and .".COO locomotives were ordeied. Rankers and brokers say that the rail stocks will advance on the announcement of a raise In rates, which It Is thought will not oc long delas ed. Theie is a wide diffeicnce of opinion In regard to the International Mercantile Marine securities among even the best-Informed brokers and bankers. One said he regarded the company's proposed sale us advan tageous and was (ulte bullNli over the situation. Another was as much the reverse. He said he doubted If the plan would go tnrough for the following reasons: Tirst. The price per ton offered, based on the present situation, was ver low. Second It would he iliniruli to finance such a ileal unless the Gov ernment was entirely in favor of the sale. Third. Such a deal at present Js contrary to the het Interests of the country, as it is the onlj big steamship line controlled here with good conhectlons throughout the world untl which has some really good pas senger ships, and fourth, l'rom the tnci on a sale of this kind very much would depend on the amount of equii.v above leal value at reasonable prices, and one cannot see in a case of this nature Just how the common stock would come out. This hanker sulci he lecommcmlctl his customers to take profits in Marine pit fen ed and also In the bonds, believing the can be bought back cheaper later on, although both arc good for invest ment. Heavy Loans Made by Federal Land Banks Loans at the rate of about $l."i.000.000 per month an? now being made b the twelve Kedeial Land Itanks to farmers all over the countiv. Arrangements have been concluded for the sale of an Indefinite, amount of these bonds thiough a syndicate consisting of Alexander Riown & Sons, Harris, Forbes S. Co.. I.ee, Hlgginson & Co. and the National City Compan. a gioup which is well calculated to make a wide distribution and a quick sale This new offering of bonds will be .' per cent securities and will ho sold to the public at 101 and Intetest. to Meld 4a4 per cent to the redeem able date (19L'3I and ,1 per cent thereafter up to redemption 'or maturity (193S). They are icdeemable on any interest date after the years from the date of issue. The most attractive fealuiu about these bonds, and one which will no doubt appeal most strongl to the Investor, is that tney ate as exempt rom Federal, State, municipal and local taxation us the 3' per cent Liberty Bonds. While It is said arrangements have been made for the sale of an Indefinite amount of these bonds, It Is understood that J30.OUO.000 will be leady on or before July 15. Tlicj will be issued In denominations of $25, $50. $100, $500 and $1000. Kx-Justlce Charles E. Hughes has prepared nn opinion on the con stitutionality of the Federal farm loan act, and particularly with respect to the valfdlty of the bonds and the provisions exempting them from taxation. Mr. Hughes says: M conclusion Is that the farm loan bonds to be issued b the Federal Land Ranks organized and controlled as prov Ided In the Federal farm loan act will be. when duly Issued and paid for, valid securities, constituting as declared by Congress Instrumentalities of the Government of the I'nlted States, and that they and the Income derived therefrom will be exempt as provided In the act from Federal, State, municipal and local taxation; and further, that, with respect to bonds duly issued und paid for under this exemption, it will consti tute a continuing exemption, which cannot be withdrawn by subse quent legislation. The previous Issue of farm loan bonds, which comlsted of -12 per cent securities, was offered at 100'2, to leld about 4.40 per cent. There arc now outstanding approximately $160,000,000 of farm loan bonds, of Which the United States Treasury holds about $50,000,000. Not long ago Congress passed a bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to put chase $100,000,000 of the Faim Loan bonds during the current fiscal year. The urgent necessity of Increasing agricultural products and the present financial conditions have emphasized the Importance to the nation of the Federal Farm Loan system, which, like the Federal Reserve sys tem, was established at a most opportune time. 'Tor Every Problem There Is a Solution" The manager of one of the largest Investment houses, In the city has a motto. It Is that "For every problem there Is a solution, and It Is the lucky man who ilnds it." The particular problem with the bond and Investment houses Just now Is to get business. This manager must be lucky, as his house is doing a splendid business, but he won't give the secret away. He ii magnanimous enough to say that there may be other solutions to the problem, und that he has merely procured one. But while business in bonds could not be saltf to be booming, except in the particular Instance mentioned, the market for bonds In this city Is decidedly favorable. Public Utility bonds are in demand, and prices gradually are advancing with each recorded sale. Sales of bonds on the New York Stock Exchange for last week wer about three times as large as for the corresponding week of 181- nearly twlce.us great us for the same period of 1916. As to short-term notes, the generally expressed opinion among those who deal In them Is that they will graduallj touch higher prices as the demand still continues well in excess of the supply. ' This situation has prevailed for some time past, but the purchases or long-term bonds are growing more numeious than was pieviously the ca PALMER WOULD KEEP ENEMY'S S2,000,000,0(fo Alien Property Custodian Would De stroy Germany's Financial Power Throughout Hemisphere Detroit, May H.A. Mitchell Palm er, alien property custodian, would halt foreer German Industrial colonlza. tion In the United States and uproot It throughout the Western Hemisphere In an address here Mr. Palmer de clared that Germany had built upon the shores of this country a great financial and industrial structure having a money . alue of J:', 000.000. 000 and u potential economic and political value far greater and designed to hold American Indus try or to frustrate the organization or our resources In case of war. Two hundred American corporations were controlled by the financial and mil itary power In Germany, he uaid. lead ing to a 'situation that might easily have been fatal In America had It not been dlscoered In time. These corporations are making huge war profits nnd this Government Is put Into the position of fostering them for their owners and turning these profits oter after the war unless Congress dic tates otherwise.
