The flat $30 transatlantic freight rate per ton to France has weakened In the last few days. A shipper said he was sure he could get space at $40 If he had a large cargo, and ho thought S45 was about the rate at present with every In dication It would soon reach the figure now charged to Kngland.

It is said that when Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass visits Now York, as ho Is scheduled to do next, Friday to attend n. dinner Kiven by the Federal Reserve Bank officials and directors, n proposition will be made to him to provide; for tho Issuanco of two classes of bonds in connection with the Victory Ixmu; one that will appeal to those of largo incomes, nay a 2i or 4 per cent bonds with a liberal exemption from taxation, and another issuo of 44 or T per cent bond, with a limited exemption of principal from normal but not from surtaxes', which would appeal to those of small mean. From the opinions of thoso interviewed on the subject the plan does not meet with general approval. One banker said that in his opinion such u plan would very much complicate the sale of tho bonds; that it must bo kept In mind the appeal for tho salo of tho bonds" 1r made to the millions, many of whoni have only recently become owners of bonds and don't yet uulte understand what they have. One Popular Issuq of Bonds Believed Best He also gave as his opinoln that It would bo much better to inako only ono popular Issue, that is, a 4H or 6 per cent bond, with libera.1 exemption from normal Income- tax, and make it convertible Into the other form for this particular Issuo only. Another objection to having two different classes of bonds for this Issue would arise from tho difficulty of knowing beforehand how much of each kind to Issue. Of course, ho remarked, an unlimited amount of each kind could bo Issued nnd It could bo understood that tho total amount of tho two combined would bo $6,000,000,000, but ho said such an arrangement might create more confusion than would compensate for tlio trouble.

"We found a great mAiiy Industries were sered by two or more railroads," Bald the report. "In some cases hs inailv as nineteen different railroads serving one plant or district solely for competitive reasons and with a very great waBte. Wherever lt has been pos sible or practicable to do so this has been eliminated and the switching at a single Industry confined to one line.

Thero was very favorable comment In the financial district m .Sat urday over tho offering by the National City Company and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of an Issue of $16,000,000 Illinois Central Hallroad flf teen-year t'-j per cent bonds. They were offered at 97V4, to yield B"i per cent If held to maturity or Ci per cent if taken tip at the earliest redemption date These bonds are a direct obligation of tho company, and will be secured by bonds of the company or It subsidiaries with n present market value of about $20,000,000. These bonds were sold by the railroad company to cover -xpondltures for additions, betterments, terminals, equipment nnd other facilities. As a well-known banker said In referring to the oxcellonco of these bonds from 'an Investment standpoint, "Tho bonds of u .road of thn class to which tho Illinois Central belongs, which has an uninterrupted rucord of dividend payments 'from 1863 to tho presen' time, need no other tecoin mendntion." Tho dividend rate for recent years lias been $1B a. year. It was said subscriptions have been so heavy that tho bankers will liavo to exercise the reserved right to scale the allotments.
