MANY NOVEL SUGGESTIONS
FOR FINANCING EUROPE
Most Essential Qualification Is Need of Educating Small In
vestor in Purchase of Foreign Securities
A HANKER enllcd attention to Sccrotnry Itctlflcld'n nlnn for finnnclnR
" Europe, wlilch he said differed in y material roprct from the plan
MiKRested in this column through nil interview n few tlnys nso with John H.
Mnsoti, president of tho Cominercinl Trust Co. nnd director general of wnr
loans. The plnn, it will he remembered, wng to make nn nppenl to the small
investor. It also MiRgcsted the formation of a holding company, which
would issue its own debentures against mieh securities as would be accepted
as collateral for these debentures.
The nppeal was to bo made on patriotic grounds, hut the one point
which Mr. Mason brought out most fotclbly was the necessity of educating
our bankers, especially thoe removed from large cities, In the best methods
of educating their clients to invest in foreign securities. There are few
financiers in this city who disagree with, the plan or dispute the urgent
necessity of financing Europe, but many see so many obstacles in tho way
that they look upon the prospect as most discouraging.
One of these questioned whether it would be possible to appeal to tho
mass of small investors, especially those holding Liberty Iloutls, from a
patriotic point of view. He said the only way such an end could he accom
plished would be through the establishment ot it holding; company for ench
country and the issuing of debentures witli the collateral securities of each
country behind them, and then appealing to those whose native country was
the particular one concerned. That is, Italians, whether native or American-born,
would, be appealed to to buy the debentures with Italian col
lateral back of them. The same with I'rench. lielglan, etc. The objection
to that, lie ndded, is tlmt at present we are trying to get nway as far as
possible from the hyphen, nnd this would only serve to accentimtc it.
There are some who disagree with Mr. Mason's contention that these
debentures should not be underwritten, in whole or part, by the United
States fiovernment, as they sec failure to sell them otherwise: but n ma
jority are of the opinion that such nn idea ennnot even be considered.
A banker who was discussing the matter said the lirst element in any
security was safety of the principal. If it can be shown thnt each of these
European countries has settled down serlouslj to produce enough surplus
to meet the principal of these securities, cither through sinking fund pay
ments or in nny of the usual ways to cancel such obligations, he believed the
securities could be sold through the bankers of the country; but, he added,
we must hnvc better reports than we arc getting at present to substantiate
such a hope.
Another said if ueh debentures could be made legal for savings banks
all over the country it would help in their sale, as the smnll investor would
uuderstand that nuj security good enough for such institutions is good
enough for Mm.
"Something must lie done to help Europe in a substantial way," was
the remark of nn investment banker on the matter. "Our bankers should
take n broad view of this subject, nud ask themselves what our United
States would be today if foreign assistance had been withheld dining the
early jcars ot our development. Especially do we owe European capital
a great deal in tho building of inilroads, wlilch opened up the country and
made us the great wcnlth nation vo are. And there is this great differ
ence, that the money which we invest to help Europe now will nearly all
remain with us for raw materials and machinery, whereas the foreign
capital which developed the United States was largely spent here and did
not benefit the countries subscribing it except ns a pure imcstincut."
Current Stock Market a Puzzle
Some brokers say they don't know what to make of tho present market.
Some are timid, others the reverse. A bnnker who ictiirncd after several
dajs in the financial disttiet of New York says there are two camps among
the financiers over there. One crowd, lie sajs, is enthusiastic nnd claims
the stock market is nil right: that prices arc not too high, considering the
actual intrinsic values hack of manj- of the stocks. Steel common, they say,
is worth IfiO today if it is worth anything, and they claim virtually all the
others nre in proportion, so they don't fear higher ptices.'
The other camp is the conservatives, who are Afraid of a bad break,
nnd who use the argument if these stocks nre Mich bargains, why don't the
first-class railroad and other bonds, which nre being kicked about nnd '
which we all know nre real bargains, appeal to them; why don't they buy
them? Such people forget that the public today is not looking for invest
ments as n general rule, be said. They nre speculating, they nre making
two or three points on every turn of the market, and such quick profits
mean more to them than nny 0 or even 7 per cent investment. Besides,
these bonds nre not brought to their nltention as nre the stocks, he snid.
Of course, he remarked, these matters run in cjcle.s, nnd the bonds will
have their day in due time.
.
Conservative brokerage houses were advising their clients to dron
some of the specialties jesterday nnd
time is due.
Heavy Interest and Dividend
The usual monthly letter of the Franklin National Hank, giving n
"digest of trade conditions," appeared yesterday, with a comprehensive
survey of financial nnd trade conditions covering the whole United States.
It calls attention to the fact thnt, notwithstanding strikes involving more
than 1,000,000 workers, business totals for September nud October were
large, but expresses doubt that such a showing can continue in the face
of present conditions.
Among other items it calls attention to the following :
"Dividend and intciest payments for October will amount to $350, -000,000.
compared with .$L24.000,000 in September and nearly $1105,000,000
in October of last yenr. Included In this amouut will be $H.",000,000 in
terest on fourth Liberty Loan bonds. Other interest payments will amount
to 5114,000,000, compared with more than $110,000,000 a year ago, and
dividends will account for ?07,000,000, compared with only 904.000,000 a
3 ear ago. This is the lirst time in recent months that dividends have ex
ceeded the total of the corresponding month of the previous jear. As divi
dend payments have boon materially i educed during the tiausitiun of busi
ness from n wnr basis to a pence basis, it is not unlikeb that considerable
increases in dividend pajments may bo in evidence in the closing months of
this year and the cnilier months of lfll!(l."
Value of a Name
There's something in a name after all, remarked a banker as he pointed
out an advertisement of one of tho largest finaucial distributing firms in
the country. This firm is selling a large issue of 7 per cent preferred stock
of a shoe concern of international reputation. It had heralded the ttock
through the name of the founder of the concern, who is not so widely known
ns his widely advertised product.
The banking house selling the stock has wisely adopted the trade name
of this product ns the keynote to its advertising of the stock, and, as a
banker remarked yesterday, it would he interesting to know just what effect
on the stock sales this change will make

Although tho prices ashed for men's

the manufacturers state this is not

With tho majority of tho slllc maim,
facturers booked solid with orders for
next spring, the constructions thnt will
be used for that period hnvc been pretty
well determined. Foulards nre expected
to tnke u leading place, a position for
merly occupied by taffetas. The latter
nre put down ns second choice, with
crepe georgette nnd crepe do chine pur
chased in heavy quantities.
The Textile Alliance, Inc., designated
by the war trade board to handle the
importation of Gorman vat dyes into
this country, announced yestcidny its
readiness to begin operations in this
direitinn. Arrangements hnvc been
completed between the American and
(termnn Governments for tho importa
tion of sufficient German vnt dyes to
supply a six months' requirement here.
Dye consumers! nre required to obtain
licenses from the war trade board for
the importation of such dyes.
Tho mailable supply of quinine Is

Tho embroidery trade, which nshs
nothing better thnu the business which
has been yielded during the last six
mouths, is nevertheless much interested
in the foi coast of lingerie dresses for
next summer. Tills forecast is based
on the iato operations last summer of
some of tho leading Parisian style cre
ators who put out simple white frocks
in embroidered mntorinls. Among the
lending dress houses these styles made so
favorable an impression thnt it is quite
commouly believed that they will be
launched next jenr.

In manufacture ot clothing lias been
well received by the clothiers. Since
the war brought its tush of brokers of
one sort or another to the woolen nnd
clothing trades to get n slice of the
profits on big transactions, the clothiers
describe themselves ns "plagued with
middlemen " These brokers nnd jobbers
have figured prominently in operations
for the last six months, nnd to these
have been added the "labor jobbers"
who have piofitoorod. according to tho
manufacturers, to even n greater ex

Tho shortage nf sheepskin is forcing
manufacturers of bags, bolts nnd mnny
other items made of this leather to
turn to imitation leather, cloth and
other materials to continue produc

sheepskin is reported by tanners to be
lower thnu ever before, nnd no ap
preciable relief is expected within five
or six months.
