All hpceifi cntious except those affecting n few class rates cited in a complaint of the Colorado Puhlie Utilities Commission against the Atchisou, Topekd nnd Santa Fe nnd other railroads were over ruled todny in u decision of the Inter state Commerce Commission. The Colorado complaint attacked virtually nil (jlass nnd innny commodity rntes be tween Colorado and points to the west, south and cast, and attracted unusual interest because of intervention by sev eral other complaints, includiuj; tho Xcw Mexico commission, the L'tuh traf fic bureau and various civic orgnuiza-. tlons. The commission held thut, Although t few class' rates were unduly pre judicial, exceeding its maximum rate allowance, tho record did not conclu sively cstublish that other class rates to points north, south nnd' west of Deuver 'were .unjust. No uiwessity vus shown, according to the decision, for outbmiml, western commodity rntes from Denver, Proof nlso was fouud to he lacking that class rates between Chicago, tho Mississippi and the Missouri river ter ritory on one hand mid Colorado com mon points ou the other were unjust. The commission found no adequate basis for 1'cndjuhtiug commodity rates between the snino eastern nnd western points or for changing ocemi nud rail rates to Colorado yin Galveston.

'' infill ineAUof-J GOSSIP 'OF THE STREET 1 BANKER BELIEVES PUBLIC DEMAND HELPS BULL SIDE Outsiders Seem to Disregard News From Peace Conference, He Says Gossip of the Street A RAXKI3R remarked that it would be very difficult to say what is affect-f- ing tlie stock market these days. One dny the news says that peace 1: imminent and up go the prices of stocks. The next day the news says peace is o long way off .on account of disagreements between the high contracting parties. and ngaln prices go up. It would seem, he said, as though the public i'h in the market and that it is utterly disregarding the news from I'nris. He said that, to himself, the most Important news in recent days was the government's forecast of the wheat crop. The fact that the govern ment hnd fhed a price of $'J.'J(! a bushel, and therefore stood to lose per haps ?2.500,000,O00. was hardly worth considering in view of the, world conditions. Reports, he Knid, show that the Australian crop is below stand ard, and the surplus from Argentina would be it drop in the bucket as com pared with the world's demands. "If we can believe one-half of the' reports from Kurope. there will not be any surplus from the Russian and Hungarian fields, which have always been counted upon to supply any deficiency on the Kuropcnn conti nent, us it has become tha fashion in those countries not to work. The main consideration in this connection," he said, "is the promise of employment in the harvesting and moving of the largest wheat crop this country has ever known, the benefit thnt will nccrue to the railroads and the shipping interests will bo enormous. The money will find its way to the pockets of our own farmers and will soon find its way back into the general circu lation." This hanker snid, in his opinion, the vthent prospect is having a greater effect on the prosperity of the country than the pence propped. Financiers Discuss Interest Rate on Victory Loan The preparations being mado by the committee in charge of the local Victory Loan campaign by the erection of a row of Venetian masts, painted n brick red and topped by glided balls, on either side of Rroad street north of Chestnut, was the ocension for some discussion in the uptown financial district over the loan. The principal point at i'-sue is the rate of interest ihich these notes should benr. It seems, according to leports, that Secre tary Glass has put the stamp of disapproval on n 5 per cent rntc. One banker said it makes no difference vbnt the rate may be, rich men nnd the banks will have to take them in the first instance. As subscribers will not pay for their Victory Notes in full, he snid. the first payments will probably be less than for the previous issues. Mnny subscribers, he re marked, will deposit their Victory Notes with the banks for loans to be paid off later. The method by which theyloan will be floated is very simple. It amounts to the same thing as though the government wore to impose credits to the amount or $0,000,000,000 ou the Federal Reserve banks and then instruct them to distribute them among the banks of the country. Of course, he said, the process means n lnrge expansion of credits all over the country. In the final analysis it really means a shifting of the obligations to pay crcditB advanced to the government from the shoulders of the banks to the shoulders of the Victory Note buyers. ' There is still considerable discussion over the slow absorption of the $200,000,000 wnr finance corporation issue. A well-known banker remarked that he had expected the bonds would not be popular. All any investor would have to do to convince himvclf that be could, easily make equally good investments, netting him G'i to 7 per cent, would be to run his eye oierthe bonds, both listed and unlisted, which any of the investment houses can offer him today. Any one would be foolish to pass up such investments for one bringing only 5 per cent, when it is not even an obligation of the government, he said. Strength of American International Unexplained Xo one seems to be able to give a satisfactory explanation of t lie btrcngth of American International Corporation ; nor, indeed, doe any one seem to know much about the corporation not even those who hold shares in it. The nearest to nny satisfactory reply as to its strength was that, it is claimed, the public has gone in for it heavily, the floating supply of stock is small and the short interest large. It was also snid ou good authority that tb& investments which the corporation has made in other companies have been very profitable. Some of these are International Mercantile Marine, United Stntcs Rubber, United Fruit, Mexican I'eti oleum, New York Shipbuilding nnd Industrial Alcohol. Clark. Childs & Co.. New York, had the following to say yesterday apropos the activity in the stock: 'It was impressed upon the stock holders who heard the remarks of the chairman at the annual meeting that the American International security interests arc not in any sense specula tive holdings, but they are rather carried with the idea of the security to the corporation of a voice in compauies whose business is of a character to permanently promote the profits of the proprietary concern. This is im portant because it is improbable that American International will ever be desirous of disposing of these stock investments, or ut nny rate until long after the return of more normal taxes shall have materially cut down the ' proportion of the price realised that would have to be accounted for ns excess profits." Small-Town Banker Is Well Informed He was president of a bank in oue of the medium-sized, piosperous towus in IVnnsjlvnuia, hut to hear him talk on the foremost financial topics of the day one would have concluded he wus in dnilj touch with the leading financiers of the nation's money center. He knew the Federal Re serve act's provisions and the changes made by every amendment since the act first became law. Not a question on the subject could be launched at him for which he did uot have an immediate and correct answer. Foreign exchange the bogie of most bankers was easy to him. He was posted on all the problems confronting the extending of long credits to foreign buyers of American commodities. He had his own views on the methods to be followed in establishing u balance of trade. In fact, there was not a phase of the banking business, both foreign and domestic, to which he had not devoted careful study. He had also given close study to the economic prob lems associated with all the aboie, and yet he was only the head of a comparatively small bank in the coal district, whore his abundant infor mation could find little or no outlet. "It is this way," he said, in auswer to a qucstiou. "I have so much spare lime on my hands that I read everything on finance and economics that comes aloug. I biibscribe for the best financial papers and magazines nnd read them. In this I am more fortunate than the presidents or other officers of big city banks, whose every minute is taken up by their imme diate business from morning to night, and they cannot find time to read and digest one-tenth of whut I do. Kven what they do read is douc with countless interruptions, and they often nvis the important points in what they attempt to read." He said the best-trained banking men would be found not in the big banks and big financial institutions, but in the smaller communities, where, if they arc of u studious disposition nnd have entered the profession ns a life work, would be found best qualified to fill the responsible positions in the bigger concerns. Short-term notes were quiet yesterday, with comparatively small price changes being recorded. There were numerous offerings of ta-ccmpt mu nicipal issues ou a basis to yield 4.40 per cent. Short-term note dealers snid the indications are that the market would show only a moderate degree of activity over the next scleral weeks, be cause of the forthcoming Victory Loan, nud every effort would be made to stimulate activity in the government undertaking.
