E23 f , s I Si;' 1M2' R4CV- m fc3 nf& GOSSIP OF THE STREET LOGAL FINANCIAL INTERESTS BELIEVE MARKET WILL RISE STEADILY FOR SEVERAL. DAYS PHILADELPHIA DRAFTEES AT CAMP LAFAYETTE ON OPENING DAY wremramaww-i&Tra'SeTsa? J& t Continued Good News From the European Battlefields Creates Wonderful Confidence Among Traders. Gossip of the Street "pnoKERS generally said the decline durlnR the last hour In jesterday's J- stock market was due. In n croat measure, to profit taklns. OtherH said tliat most of the buying yesterday and for pome time past has been more for Investment than speculative account. Continued good news from the Kuropean battlefront has created a T.-onderful confidence, which seems to ho gathering -strength with each succeeding day. The announcements of new financing on the gigantic tcalc. ivhlch'all arc so well accustomed to now, by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo have been accepted by bankers ns a matter of course, and while few -would express an opinion till they had digested the whole program, there was not a "Ingle note of doubt as to the ability of the country to keep up the pace set by the war for as long a period as necessary. One banker In this connection drew attention to the bumper crops, which seem to be general over the United States, as the great mainstay of the financial situation. Am stated In this column yesterday, the Aus Ulan drive, which now seems to .have begun with a failure, had not the slightest effect on the market, and If war news continues as favoiable as it has been lecenlly, whatever changes may come in the prices of stocks will. In all piobablllty, be traceable to domestic causes. It is doubt ful if the sinking of two additional ships off the Virginian coast by Ger man submarines occasioned a second thought In financial circles yesterday. The consensus of opinion, as gathered In the brokers' offices and board rooms?vfould Indicate a steady rising maiket for some days to come. Next Liberty Loan May Be November Hankers see In the announcement of ijccretaiv of the Treasury , McAdoo's financial program of $6,000,000,000 certificates of Indebtedness between now and November 1 the probability of the date of the next loan being the latter date. There Is a diversity of opinion on the subject In the financial district, but on one point there seems to be a wonderful unajilmltv. namel, that uhateer Mr. McAdoo wants he usually manages to carry out. . . Theie was considerable Interest in some financial quarters over the healings on the new revenue bill, which are to end on -Thursday next, with everywhere the hope expressed that all the inequalities of the fotmcr' bill will bo stiaightened out. There Is a report fiom Washington that a war tax of '5 per cent la In piospect. In some Instances in Great Britain the war tax tiaa reached as high as 80 per cent, without any Inconvenience to the corpora tion so taxed, and a similar result would no doubt aulvc in tills country. There Is a feeling that the present revenue bill will be written on a moie scientific basis than Its picdecessor and that no Injustice will be done. Bankers and brokcis geneially are looking forwaid to a much easier money market than for some time past. Especially do thqy expect this will be the condition till the launching of the fourth Liberty Loan cm or about November 1. They predict, theiefoie, an active market in all kinds of securities tip to that date. Little Talk of New Financing In the bond and investment houses the leports of business conditions were various. A laige number reported conditions as fair to good, while a few said they were dull. Some bankers saw In the report of a probable 7fi per cent war ta from Washington the llquodatlon of a number of bonds now held by corpoiatlons as well as lare Individual holders Maturing Utilities' Notes in Zn!"t.dlS0Un!"!, ,He aCtl0n,i f U,e War K,n"nco Corpo.atlon board in connection with the maturing obligations of the public utilities com panies, a well-known banker whose house is recognised with a large number of such concerns said jesterday that the only way he could see ' out of the difficulties at present would be to have the holders of the notes and other such maturing obligations to ibnew them for at least six months on the promise of the managements of such utilities to do every thing In their power to have the service commissions give permission to increase the rales, and to enlist the good offices of the Uovet nment irr every war possible- to accomplish this necessary purpose. 'Armour Bond Issue Perhaps no one subjeet received more discussion in the financial district yesterday than the $60,000,000 Aimour & Co. 6 per cent debenture bonds which were disposed of by ,i syndicate of bankers last week In record time, being largely oversubscribed. In speaking of the present prices at which some may bo bought which Is higher than the price at which they were first offered, a broker said vesterday that the piemium charged was due to the fact that out Bide the participants In the syndicate no commissions weie nllowed to brokers on these bonds, and that several enterprising investment houses both heie and in New York, especially the latter, had gone ahead and sold a number on the strength of the first announcement without waiting to find out If the usual broker's commission would be allowed, taking It for granted it would, only to find out later that no commissions were allowed, so they had to go into the open market and bid above the offering price In order to fill their obligations. That the syndicate subscription was a vvondeiful success Is proved by the fact that of the first maturities the allotments to subscribers will be 70 per cent of their subscriptions, of the second maturities 58 per cent, of the third 70 per cent, of the fourth 47 per cent, of the fifth 70 per cent, and of (he sixth 32 per cent. A downtown banker, when commenting on the success of this Armour offering of $60,000,000 of debenture bonds, said It goes to prove that corpo rations seeking large amounts for capital and whose credit Is good must be prepared to pay a rate which before we entered the war would be considered prohibitive. AVhlle it Is true, he, remarked, that these bonds carry 6 'per cent Interest, they weie offered on a basis which will compel the borrower to pay the Investor from 6i to 7V4 per cent, with the privilege of conversion into a 7 per cent cumulative preferred stock. Go vcrnm en t-Railroad Agrcem en I Speaking of the agreement between the Government and the rallioads which. It is said, will be completed very soon, a well-known banker said vesterday that It is Idle to speculate on just what the terms of that agreement will be till they are officially published. There are, ho said too many elements entering Into the subject for any, one to hazard a guess on the matter. "A week or ten days ago," he continued, a New York paper printed what is said was an advance draft of the contract, but since then nothing more has been said about it, and It is absurd for any paper to assume that it could obtain advance Information on a subject of such importance. Even if such Information could be obtained In advance. It would not ba credited till officially confirrrted, so there would be nothing gained." Another banker said he had no doubt that the Government will handle the matter in a broad manner, and in a spirit of fairness to all concerned, especially to the owners of the railroads as represented by the stock, bond and other security holders. Gasoline Demands After thelFar In calling attention to the outlook for the consumption of gasoline l" after the war, Henry L, Doherty & Co. in their usual weekly letter say: "One branch of Industry which will require millions of gallons of gasoline annually, will bo that of agriculture. Europe is almost without v farm horses, and Canada is In very nearly the same condition. In the- .United States the number of horses on the farms Is decreasing; all this i because of the great number of horses being required for war purposes. "Farmers all over tlio world are turning to the farm tractor, and recent advices from Winnipeg, Canada, are that to meet the needs of the farmers In the great -wheat-raising districts of the Dominion orders are being placed for tractors B0 per cent faster than the utmost endeayors of the railroads and factories can supply them, "The "unusual activity In purchase of tractors Is laid both to the general prosperity of the farmers, following three years of good crops, and to the great effort being made to Increase farm production. To cheapen the price of farm tractors In Canada, the duty had recently been removed on this class of agricultural machinery, and farm tractors have been shipped Into western Canada In the last year a( a rapidly Increasing rate. n 1917,-the business of the International Harvester Company's distribut ing houses at Lethbrldge, which serves southern Alberta, totaled $1,200,000. Of this business 90 per cent was In spot cash and the bulk of the trans actions was In farm tractors, "This Is but one of the rapidly Increasing lines of consumption of gasoline. " The war has put the truck, business ahead ten years In the last two years. .Indications aro that the gasoline truck will displace virtually ' all other forms of road transportation In Europe, as well aa In .this ' country after the close of the war. The efficiency, reliability and durabll- t'- Ity of the gasoline truck and the farm tractor have been proved, and vV,ta'dtcatlons are, now that the purchase of these In (he years following thp Wl.Pe JUaitea oniy.oy.jne capacity to produce mens, E HMHflMMHMHHHHAiaLr StMMaMfaVsatfyjaHHaaafaVaW I h ataaSaHSxllSv-fT i ewiroiiCT i ft E . m mm Mum I m i mi 'i mn BPWIli ' W M W 'nlgWlitlH ' I aaaaaaaaaSBaaaaaaaRjaBCjVE'aaaa?aBaaBM '' 4 .
