Were Extensively Used . TV T A C. 1 1T :.,. to ray-Income Assessments bteel iMeeting Interests Gossip of the Street ' THE statement In this column yeaterday In connection with tho Income tax returns, that tho government would not redeposlt tho checks drawn on the Bovcrnl banks to pay theso taxes, as had been done 'last year, was discussed by a banker, wh,o said -while, tho statement was correct, It de serves n riuallflcation. It Is .well to bear In mind, ho said, that tho kov ernment had sold $794,000,000 certificates of Indebtedness l-i anticipation of tho payment of theso taxes. Theso certificates, ho said, come duo at tho samo tlmo tho first Installment of Income tax was due, and many of them were used to pay taxct. As soon as tho checks drawn1 on the various banks aro turned In for payment and tho Treasury receives nil tho money which they repre sent, if It Is Rrcater than tho amount which tho government has to pay to redcom theso $794,000,000 certificates, tho surplus will be deposited with tho Federal Reservo banks. Should that surplus amount to a considerable sum and no one can say as yet whether It will or not, ho remarked then It may bo rcdeposlted In the member banks. ' 'Awaiting Results of Steel Conferences t JIany brokers and other financiers aro tooklnc forward hopefully to tho o'utcomo of tho conferences of steel men, ono of which was held yes terday at tho office of Judge Clary In New York. Tho second conference Is being held today Washington, when Secretary of Commerco Ited fleld Is to propose his plan for tho stabilization of prices in tho stcol in xj dustry, tn that buj-crs who nro waiting may como Into tho markot at , once. The committee of steel men meeting Secretary ltedflcld repre sents the American Iron and Steel Institute. Rankers who take an Interest in tho matter Fay that the most im portant question to bo decided Is, Can prices bo made sufficiently attrac tive to bring the government Into the market? If thoy aro made attrac tive enough, they say, tho effect will be to instill confidence in tho hordo of small buyers and lnduro them to enter tho market also. One broker, speaking of tho rocent activity of Steel common, said ho understood that some ot tho heaviest buying wns by wealthy men In New York, several of whom aro closo to the "steel crowd." And there Is nn impression, he ' ald, that somo favorablo news Is duo very soon. Every ono says that as steel influences almost ovcry othor stock on the board, it is hoped a, favorable conclusion will bo reached at tho confcrcnco today, and by a favorable conclusion Is meant a reduction In prices. , A broker who almost specializes in steel said he understood that tho manufacturers do not want either to rcduco wages or cut prices, and ho cannot seo how ono can bo accomplished without tho other under present conditions. He remarked that Secretary Redfleld has not expressed an . opinion one way or the other so far as ho knows, and that the Secretary's aim seems to bo to stabilize prices, bur. how he proposes to bring this about has not as yet been made clear. I'crhaps, ho said, the Secretary has a plan which will comblno reduction and stabilization ot prices with- l- out interfering with wagci. . R. R. Payments to Boost Acceptances It was remarked recently in this column that the plan by which railway equipment manufacturers wcro to bo paid by acceptances was HvOly to popularize these Instruments of exchange mure than any other method which had yet been proposed. On this point tho Annalist says: "Tho nn-ungement whereby the railway equipment manufacturers nio to ho paid for the equipment they have made ami aro making for American railroads and the railroad administration is ono of the most important events in the development ot the American acceptance market. It means that thero will bo created upward of $200,000,000 in bank acceptances, which will be spread all over the country. It means that bankers w'ho hao had lltte or nothing to do with acceptances in the past are going to become fumillar with them in tho early future. And It the central authorities who have the matter In charge handle the operation intelli gently. It means that a vast amount of educational work which other wise might lequhe jcar will be accomplished. The plan, as explained in the press dispatches from Washington, is for tho acceptance companies to draw- against the director general of the federal railroad administration. Tho director general will accept tho . drafts, which will then be offered in the market, presumably, although somo of the equipment companies which have well-filled treasuries may well decldo to hold them until maturity, as the-paper will bo of the highest class. Of course, tho bills will be redlscountable." Short-Term Victory Notes vs. Long-Term Bonds There was u good deal of discussion In the financial district yester- . day over the doubt expressed by the Federal Reserve Board In its Match bulletin as to the propriety of Issuing short-term notes for tho coming Victory Libei ty Loan Instead of long-teim bonds. It was asked in somo , quarters if the Treasury Department was divided In its opinions on such an Irnportunt matter. Accoidlug to the Federal Reserve bulletin, It was questioned whether a loan consisting of short-term notes would meet the wide distribution ot past Issues ot long-terra tonds. Hefoio it was discovered that tho discussion In the bulletin was written befoie tho Victory Loan act was passed by Congress and before Secretary Glass had announced definitely that the forthcoming loan would consist ot notes, thero were arious opinions advanced by certain bankers and brokers as to the respective merits of tho two classes of securities, notes or long-term bonds. Somo argued that for a majority of Investors tho long-term bond 1", on tho whole, the better Investment; that tho "In vestor can count on a btatcd Income from such bonds over a long period of yearsv whereas when his short-term notes fall duo and aro paid he may find it necessary to keep his money id'.e until he finds a suitable Investment; and while he may for the time being secure a higher return from his note investments, tho risk of finding desirable Investments each period when these fall due, together with tho loss of income during each of theso periods, when averaged up, In a majority of Instances show a smaller lotnrn than ho would havo had from tho long-term investment at a lower rate ot interest. , Others who favor tho short-term notes say that the millions who will buy llicm, tho new Investors, will havo their confidence in their Lib erty Bond investments strengthened when nt tho end of a tew years tho , J government begins to pay ort these notes, with a result that they will conclude that the best thing they can do with the money will be to reinvest , it iu Liberty Bonds, which by that timo will have enhanced in price, nnd ,. in this way a quick, open muikct for Liberty and othor government bonds "" will be established, which must eventually lcsult in tho development ot '' .as proverbial a thrift movement among tho small savers in this country. as In European countries. Ono of tho latest new and attractive offerings is $1,500,000 thiec ycar 7 per cent gold notes of the Galveston-Houston Electric Company. Theso notes was offered for tho first tlmo yestorday by Lee, Higgjnson ' .i Co., of New York and Boston, whoso local office Is In tho Laud Tltlo Building. Tho potcs wcro offered at 98Vi and Interest to yield more than 7.55 percent. They aro dated March 1, 1919, nnd maturo March 1,1922. Tho proceeds of theso notes aro to provldo for the retirement ot tho entire .floating debt of tho company. The gross carniug of tho Galveston-Houston Electric Company Increased fjom $1,944,839 in 191G to $2,G91,331 in 1918, a.ml tho net earnings, after deductions for taxes, operation, etc., for the samo years, were $703,732 and $841,082 tespec tively. Bond Market Continues Quiet Quiet conditions obtained In the bond market yesterday, .with only a moderate turnover lielng reported. Liberty Bonds dlsplaved further weakness and wero unusually active. It was stated that selling orders by small Institutions Indicated that the selling by comparatively small holders continues substantial. Tho 3V4s were active at slightly under 99, wtalch was thought to have been duo to purchases by. wealthy Indi viduals because of their tax-exemption feature. . Throughout tho list the volume of .transactions was small, both rail 'roads and Industrials showing little Initiative. Foreign government1 bonds wero firm aiyl more activo than any time in weeks. This Included tho Anglo-French 5s and th& French municipals. Bond men said they looked for a gradual narrowing down of market ' operations during tho next month nnd a half, or until after tho next government Joan campaign lias beon concluded. Announcement has been made that Drexel & Co. had underwritten tho extension of $2,800,000 Jefferson Railroad Company 5 per cent bonds lor a period of ten years. This Is a subsidiary of the Erie Railroad Com pany, and the proposed new issue has bo(n approved by the railroad administration at Washington. The bankers soon Will make a formal offering or exchange to' the present 6 per cent bondholders, -which It is thought will bo sufficiently attractive to Insure tho majority belnc turned In fo? the new' bonds.
