classes of collateral, opened today at
7 for lending and renewing.
The tlmoN money market continues nt
5 per cent bid with occasional renewals
and transactions at that figure and with
special loans at higher rates, nccordtng
to the collateral' and tho character of
the borrower,
In prime bank acceptances, tho do
mand continues unchanged for prime
New York member nlnoty-dny bills, ana
the supply Is light. There Is a fair
offering of prime out-of-town bills but
these find a more ready market In tho
Interior sections than In this city.
Rates are unchanged at 6U bid to 6
per cent asked for prlmo New Yorlc
member nlnety-da- bills; 0iO6 per
cent for sixties and S!(fD per cent for

National Banks May Lend Up to 25
Per Cent of Capital
Washington) Aug. 6. Tho federal
reserve board has not advised member
bapks as to what loans they should make
against this year"s cotton crop, Gov
ernor Ilardlng declared today In a letter
totno Department of Agriculture.
The letter was written In answer to
f'POfts reaching the department that
uY '" " chiming unancini stringency,
stocks or cotton were being forced on
the market at sacrifices In prices." Such
action, tho department Intimated, had
been prompted through "a ruling cr
other form of Instruction from the fed
eral reseno board which limited loans
on cotton to that only which was In
progress of shipment."
"In answer to this, Governor Hard
Ing explained that Congress had been
requested early In tho year to amend the
existing statutes which originally re
stricted loans to Individuals bv national
banks In excess per cent of tho bank's
capital and surplus.
"Congress acted upon the suggestion
of tho board," Governor Harding wrote..
The amended statute also provides that
for a pedlod of six months out of any
twelve consecutive months, a nntlonal
bank may lend to an Individual or cor
poration up to 25 per cent of Its cap
ital and surplus where thn rxcem of 10
per cent Is secured by warehouse re
ceipts. "Commenting on the accumulation of
low grade cotton, Governor Harding's
l"ttcr stated this was due partially to
difficulty In making financial arrange
ments necessary to Kelt H tn Mm more
central banks, adding: Member bnnksjn
mo souin no doubt feel reluctance, to
carrying too largo a volume of loans 011
collateral, which Is not readily Balable."

TRADE IN TEXTILES QUIET
Jobbers Say Merchandise I Moving
8oyvly, With Few New Orders
Manufacturers of textiles report busi
ness quiet, according to the weekly re
view of trade for the Philadelphia dis
trict by R.fa. Dun & Co , with few now
orders.
Thero has been little Improvement In
the yarn market, and the trend of prices
Is still downward. It Is the Impression
In the trade that thn condition of the
present month will correspond wlh those)
of July. While It Is believed both,knlt
ters and weavers will be In the market
In tho fall. It Is thought buying will
not be active for some tlmo to come.
Tho review, continuing, gocB on to
say:
"Manufacturers of men's and boys'
clothing are Inactive at this time. Buy.
era .-are doing little purchasing nnd are
not disposed to pay prevailing prices.
"Cloak and suit manufacturers report
few orders for fall delivery nnd a de
cided reduction In prices Ib looked for
later. Many of the plants are Idle.
"Manufacturers of shlrta arc Inac
tive and report few sales and collections
slow. Wholesalers and Jobbers of cot
ton and woolens report little trade.
"Jobbers of knit goods, hosiery and
underwear report business quiet nnd
collections very slow.
"There appears to bo considerable ac
tivity In the hardware lino for midsum
mer, with a good demand for nil grades
of material. This condition, It Is be
lieved, will continue with a decided In
creaso during the fall. Prices remain
firm and collections good.
"Paint manufacturers and dealers In
paint Rnd painters' supplies report busi
ness quiet; thero appears, however, a
fair amount of work under wav among
painters, considering tho midsummer
season, and It Is believed there will be
a marked Increnso In tho olume of
business In the early fall season There
Is little change In prices and collections
remnln good.
"Wallpaper manufacturers. Jobbers
nnd denlers report little change In this
Jlnc of business. There nppears to be a
moderate amount of work under way
and a decided Increase In tho volume of
business being done Is anticipated In
the early fall season. Collections appear
about normal. ,
"Wholesale grocers report business
nulet, no Is customary nt this period of
tho year. Collections ore good. While no
apparent recession In prices Is noted,
dealers contlnuo to buy for Immcdlato
needs. , , .
"Coffee futures are Irregular, owing to
ato demand; prices, nominally, are un
ate demand, prices, nominally, are un-
sVia rirroiV
"Tea la quiet and unchanged, prices
are firm and collections satisfactory
"Sugar market Is nulet and un
changed, buyers are holding back await
ing developments. The supply appears
to meet all demands. Grocers are woll
stocked for preserving season, but con
sumers do not apepnr to be buying.
Prices In rellned have dropped to 20
cents a pound.

THE EQUITABLE TRUST COMPANY OF NEW YORK, TRUSTEE
For information regarding this issue of Notes and the business of the Company, toe refer to a letter dated

BUSINESS: The .business of the Company consists in the leasing of tank cars under
'- contracts to petroleum oil shippers. The Company was a subsidiary of the Standard
2. Oil Company (New Jersey)' until the dissolution of the latter in 1911.
GROWTH: The Company is the largest individual owner of tank cars in the United a
States, its dwnership increasing from 11,881 cara on January 1, 1913 to 20,584 cars
7 on January 1, 1920. Including cars under contract for delivery and to be built in
connection with the present issue of Notes, the Company will own about 30,000
tank cars.
". SECURITY: As security there wfll be vested in the Trustee for the benefit of the note
holders title to 6,000 new tank cars built and to be built during 1920, representing an
aggregate conservative present value of approximately $19,000,000, or a margin of
about 50 over the face amount of these Notes.
i. ASSETS: This $12,500,000 issue will constitute the Company's sole funded indebted
ness and with the addition of the cars now under contract for delivery and to be
acquired with the proceeds of these Notes, the Company will have total net assets
of over $46,000,000.
: EARNINGS: The earnings available for Interest, depreciation and amortization, after
deducting Federal Taxes applicable to the preceding year, were as follows :
1917.... $4,425,830 1918.... $5,5 17,960 1919.... $5,939,615
These earnings for 1919 were equal to 6.78 times the annual interest on the new
Note issue.
SINKING FUND: The Company will provide a sinkingfund of $1,250,000 per year pay
able in semi-annual instalments commencing February 1, 1921, for the purchase of
these Notes at not over 100 and interest. In lieu thereof the Company may deliver

at 100 and interest, the Company may authorize their purchase up to 102J4 and in
