low offers failed to bring out any de
mand and that only small quantities

The flat $30 transatlantic freight
rate per ton to France has weakened In

sure he could get space at $40 If he had

PROPOSE TWO CLASSES OF BONDS
IN THE COMING "VICTORY" LOAN
Local Bunker Would Have One Class Appealing to
Those of Large Incomes; the Other, to Persons
of Small Means Gossip of the Street
A MONO the many suggestions In reference to tho comlnc Victory Loan
which liavo appeared in this coulmn recently, qno which was mado
hy n local banker seems to have taken hold among certain flnanclera in
New York. 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.

Huge Resources of National Banks
Washington, Feb. 10. For the first
time In their history, resources of na
tional banks of the country at last call,
December II, 1918, passed the $20,000,
OOO.tltlO mark. Comptroller of Currency
"Williams anonunced that exact total was
:O,-S42',224,000, an increase of $20,820,
000 oveE. preceding .call of November- 1
1918, anu ndvnnce as compared with
December 31, 1917, of $1,968,910,000.
expenses of the lines under Ills control
as a result or tue unincations aim ecuii
omles due- to government operation.
Director Alshton po nted out that In
the unification of terminals ninety pas
sengers and 136 freight stations were
closed.
"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.
"By the elimination of unnecessary I
passenger trains, 23,250.400,1111163 were
saved last year, n reductloh In operat
ing cost of about $1 per train mile. t
"A very careful analysis and study
of the entire lallroad situation .ami
economy In operation under unified con- ,
trol has shown there are many waste- j
ful practices in ertect unuer separate
operation. C'onsldtrble traffic moving
over the extremely long routes must
have, been handled with a loss when
flgmed In the total. All of these Va
rious plans hae not been In effect a
sufficient length" of time to determine
as-to tholr. ultimate, economies and tho
determination of future, progress In that
direction."
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.
