Hal in Favor of Certifi? cates of Indebtedness The Federal Reserve Bank of New Vor', announced lute yesterday after? noon an increase in the rates on ad? vances and rediscounts secured by cer? tificates Of indebtedness from 4-% per cent to 5 per cent. This change, which is the first increase since the general revision upward on January 22 last, remove? the differential in favor of certificates of indebtedness as against bankers' acceptances. All other rates of discount remain unchanged. This announcement, made nfter the board of directors of the Reserve Bank had been in session, was in accordance with the general expecta? tion in the financial district. It was explained that the latest raise was part of the general campaign initiated by the Federal Reserve Board to relieve the credit strain and discourage over expansion. Since the January 22 chedule was announced there had been a large increase in borrowing?) against certificates of indebtedness as a result of the favorable rate. The commercial paper rate remains at 6 per cent; that on advances and re? discounts secured by Liberty bonds and Victory notes 5Vi per cent and that on backers' acceptances T> per cent. Sponsors of the acceptance market have urged the necessity of putting bankers' acceptances on as favorable a basis as certificates of indebtedness for some time, pointing out that the differential in favor of certificates was halting the necessary development of a discount market in this country. The increase in the rate announced yesterday revived reports that the Treasury Department would put out new certificates' at 5 per cent. Many bankers are of the opinion that the Treasury ought in the future to bor? row at the prevailing market rate and not under the market, as in the past, by means of utilizing the machinery of the Federal Reserve system. Call money yesterday opened at 7 per cent and closed at 15 .per cent. Bor? rowers bid between S'? and 0 per cent for time money, and extremely little was lent. The Phi|ade!phia Federal Reserve Bank also'increased the rate on ad? vances and rediscounts secured by cer? tificates of indebtedness. a Steel Makers Not Seeking Business "^Yndencv of Buyer.?? to Hold Aloof Fails? to Move Manufacturers Steel makers as *et show little dis? position to open their books for for? ward business despite the tendency pmonir some consumers to take their chances in waiting for lower prices. "The decision of one notable pro? ducer." says "The Iron Age" this werk. "to sell for second quarter mav, point toward the end of price advances, as thf-se bookings will be made at 4 cents ror plates, shapes and bars, but the initiative in all negotiations is still with the buyer. There are signs that the bulk of third quarter delivery pur? chases yet to be made will be done at higher prices thai: are the average, possibly ?2 a ton above the war level of prices."

Principal and interest payable without deduction for any Italian taxes, present or future Coupon- bearer bonds in denominations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000 and $5,000, which may be registered as to principal at the Lincoln Trust Company, New York City. Application will be made to list the bonds on the New York Stock Exchange. The proceeds of the Loan will be used by the Italian Government in payment for purchases made in the United States, which purchases will aid greatly in the industrial and economic development of Italy. To this end a national policy of rigorous economy has already been adopted. The privilege of taking payments, at maturity, in Rome at the fixed rate of seven lire to the dollar adds to a sound and conservative invest? ment the possibility of a substantial profit in exchange,. In this connection it should be pointed out that the recent success? ful flotation of a large domestic loan by the Italian Government and the increase in the activity of Italian enterprises give substantial evi? dence of the likelihood of a return of the exchange situation to a more normal basis. Price 97%* and Interest to net about 7-/8% Payments may be made in full or in instalments Subscriptions will be received by KIdder, Peabody & Co. 115 DEVONSHIRE STREET 17 WALL STREET BOSTON NEW YORK C ii r h Market orks [jower as Selling Increases List Is Heavy, but Moins lift? ier Than Market on Stork Exchange; Wibl Fluctua? tions in hit.
