Close followers of the general trend of business point put that Indi cations shown by the summary of financial and trade conditions for last month are such that they should create a feeling of confidence even among those who have for months been harassed by the uncertainties brought Ifcby extensive war preparations. WhlleTrome of those engaged In the sale and manufacture of non essentials are still hampered because of the restrictions Imposed by the Federal rulings. It is pointed out that they had been aware of probable changes that would have to be enforced, with the result that they have either sought cover by changing their lines of trade to those most needed by the nation at this time or by retrenchment In the way of unnecessary expenses with their buslhessea curtailed. ' Large Increases in the clearings of banks In this city and throughout th country during June as compared with the same month last year, which Indicates the general expansion of general trade, an easing up of the money situation In Wall street, a higher trend during last month In the prices of leading stocks, large decreases in loans and gains In reserves In last week's New York bank statement. Increased railroad rates, merging of the big express companies, the payment of heavy Income and xcess-proflts taxes, the Government's efforts to aid public utility corporations and the rapid filling of railroad equipment orders, together with the near completion of the plans for the management of the carriers, are all mentioned as indicating very clearly that, after Its period of rapid preparations, the nation is very close to being completely on a war basis, which should help establish a more settled general busl ness situation. Expansion of Per Capita Circulation to Continue It Is also pointed out that now that the Government Is paying out enormous sums to the shipbuilding companies, steel, munition and supply manufacturers who are backing up the boys at the front, and workers are generally being well paid, the per capita circulation of money should continue to expand rapidly, with a comparative gain In the turnover of business In the most important lines. Announcement that the American forces overseas had reached around the million mark and that transports would from now on carry troops at the rate of 300,000 a month, and further encouraging reports from the French and Italian fronts, with a continuance of news of revolts in Austria, are thought to make the outlook for the Allies exceedingly bright, which Is expected to be reflected In the stock market quotations during this week. Questions to Be Discussed by State Bankers In calling a meeting of all State bankers, to be held In this city to morrow, the committee for the formation of an association of banking Institutions of Pennsylvania has asked all bankers Interested to give their thoughts to the solution of the following questions that- are con stantly suggested: Why and how it well help us win the war to Join the Federal Re serve system. Whether so doing will or will not involve economic waste of assets existing or to be created that are, of course, all available for Government use through taxation or otherwise. ' Whether or not the State institutions, which, as pointed out, are assuming the greater part of the burden of financing the war, are being Civen an equality of benefit and burden with the national institutions. Whether or not there be any inequality or injustice or misunder standing to explain the great disparity between the number of assenting institutions and their sum total. And if So, whether difficulties could not be easily removed and a consummation wished by all easily reached. These questions were submitted by the committee to the heads of the 629 State Institutions for their consideration 'preparatory to the meeting j this week. . New Municipal Bond Issues Opposed 't In a presentation of its general policy, the capital issues committee created by,, the war finance corporation act makes the following state ment as to municipal expenditures: fi "The amount of capital Invested In municipal bonds every year Is very large, and if this amount, or a substantial portion thereof, could be saved, the funds of investors and savings banks would be available In correspond ing amounts for the use of the national Government. There are certain classes of municipal Improvements and expenditures which should wholly cease, such as parks and betterments solely designed for purposes of ap pearance or architecture. All others should be curtailed and postponed until after the war whenever possible. This applies to public buildings, hospitals, street and road construction, waterworks extensions, sewerage and drainage Improvements, sidewalks, etc. Ordinarily only a small por tion of the improvements planned by a municipality are of such a char acter that they cannot be postponed for a period without endangering the health or welfare of the community. "For example, it is said that no schoolhouses have been built In Eng land since the war except In munition centers, where temporary and In expensive structures have been erected. In this country, if such addi tional facilities are necessary, such temporary structures should be re sorted to whenever possible. "The fact that the expense is to be repaid wholly or In part by special assessments does not make any difference. "The fact that there appears to be labor available Is not a true cri terion, because war industries In many parts of the country are In such Vjt need of labor that labor organizations are making comprehensive' efforts to transport surplus labor wherever June Turnover of General Asphalt Trading In General Asphalt last month In this city totaled 28,314 shares of common and 5111 shares of the preferred. The bull movement in the stock began the first week of June, and the common made an ex treme move from 15 to 32U and the preferred from 47V4 to 64. Trading in the common stock was reported as being heavier on the New York Curb than on the exchange In this city. As there are 98,620 shares of the common stock trading in this city in June to date amounted to 28.6 per cent of the outstanding stock. 'Con sidering the amount of this stock that was "churned," as always follows In a sharp advance, it is evident that no one buyer as a result of this activity succeeded in purchasing a very large Interest in the company. Activity in the preferred stock was even smaller, amounting to 5111 shares out of a total of 131,400, or 3.8 per cent. One story going the rounds during last week was that the Royal Dutch Shell, whose name has been coupled up with Asphalt, had offered to exchange one share of its stock for every two and a half shares of Asphalt common. Interests connected with the company said that no such proposition had been made to the company. Such a plan with Royal Dutch at 96 would give an exchange value of about 38 to Asphalt common. yr $ Brokers Discuss Eight - Billion There has been considerable talk in the Street regarding the passage of the $8,000,000,000 bond bill. When the bill is enacted the Secretary of the Treasury will be in a position to float loans to the amount of more than $12,000,000,000, as bonds already authorized but not Issued amount to more than $4,000,000,000. While the Washington dispatches Intlmaie that the rate of Interest carried by the next loan will not be more than 4 .per cent, there is a feeling In bond market circles that it Will be necessary to make the rate 4V4 per cent In order to popularize it with the, investment public, particularly as the present 4 are selling'at such a heavy discount from the offering level. i Foreign-Government Bonds Fnrelcn Government bonds closed the last weok strong;, particularly 4. the Russian Government 5s and 'tfeL quotations represent advances of "tVS .. ., l ,1 .. ...
