Largo Levies to Mceti The Wdera Iteserve Bank of ( New Tork yesterday' Inaugurated a .vliorous campaign to get the" banks ot tlili dis trict to buy new i.H persenL certificates, to be Issued In anticipation of taxes by' sending a circular letter to each bank In the district The Issue of i per' cent certificates started on August, 20 jwqb a relative failure; only fl53.C00.00O having been. Bold, against Jl.SOO.OOO sold In anticipation of the taxes, payable last June. The letter Issued 'last night by the reserve bank' was -substantially an' follows ; The Treasury Department, has an nounced the Issue of 4H per cent Treas ury certificates of Indebtedness, series T, dated November 7 and due Match' IB. ."ubscrlptlons are subject to allotment, nnJ the amount which Wilt be allotted' has not yet been made public The in tention ot this Issue, however, la to make advance preparation for the, extremely heavy tax payments called for by the pending revenue legislation. "It Is contemplated In the revenue bill, that one-third of the income and. excess profits taxes (estimated at SS.EOO.000. 000) will have to be paid on Mstrch, 13. I (This means a payment of, more- than' 11,800,000,000,. a sum- difficult, to handle unless the new .certificates aro taken lib erally.) "Tho 4 percent- certificates of Indobt-. edness, which were Issued In anticipation, of tax payments and are ngw outstand ing; are convertible Into he new. series of iVt per cent certificates, and will bo accepted at par In payment with ad justments of accrued Interest Any. of the other Issues of 414 per- cent cer tificates of Indebetdeness hitherto Issued' and not called for redemption will also' be accepted. "The binks purchased freely the various offerints of tho 4 per cent certificates Issued In anticipation of the Fourth Liberty Loan and this Ifjsue of 4H per" cent certificates, vvhtclr will bo' received In payment of taxes It ,1s hoped win meet with an equally good response. "The Idea. "underlying this. Issue lo hot that the banks should Increase their bor rowings to subscribe to these certificates, ' but that they should make gradual 'prep aration In advance for the hejvy tax payments which are sure to go'through' the banks In March. To thev extent'-that" the banks can resell these .ce'rtlflcites to customers having larje -taxes to; pay,: they will relieve the stress and strain incident to so large a financial opera tion, "It hi not the Intention to Increase the burdens of the banks, but to forestall added burden- which -would fall on them If they did not take the certificates and Bell them to their customers?' Bankers undoubtedly will respond bjrtakfng sub stantial amounts of these certificates as they have done In the past" The rmrcrrase 0f a substantial amount of these certificates and a- resale to Its customers. It was pointed "but yesterday, will relieve the Government's necessi ties growing out of the- war Tho greater the number of certificates-Issued' In anticipation of taxes nnd taken by tho banks, the smaller the amount of certificates to bo Issued In advance of and Fifty Liberty Loan, an announce ment of a neW offering of these certifi cates awaiting the outcome of the sale of tax certificates. The latter possess the advantage of avallabllltyvfor public distribution, while the former usually are retained In the portfolio of. the bank or are wed In new borrowings from the reserve bank. . l - irr COMMODITY PRICES STILL ADVANCING Federal Beservo Board Says Belief Lies in Strict Per sonal Economy..

Because they have not yet embraced tlno national duty to save as a personal Ah ligation."

Fixed Prices May Continuo Months After tho War to Stabilize Industry. The question uppermost In the minds of those Interested In the steel Industry Is the degree with which demand for Iron and steel products will diminish now that peace Is In sight, according to the weekly review of the iron Ag. Of minor Interest Is the imomoial advice that pries fixing by tho Government will continue for six months after peace. The Iron Ag says : How fast and. how far the war de mand for Iron and steel will now fall off Is the uppermost question In the In dustry. Tha shortening of the pro gramme of shipyard extensions was the main feature' last week. Of greater sig nificance are the moves, made this week In the reduction of munitions and ord nance orders, now tha; peace Is mors plainly In sight "In barbed wire a virtual cancellation of 22,000 tons for Great Britain and 85,- 000 tons for Italy Is reported. France was to receive 60,000 tons In the first half of 1919, and both this and a 80,000 1 ton contract for wire rods for France have now been held up. "Steel lrorks and rolling mills may be nearer the end of their work for shell steel than Is commonly thought, even though the war go-on for soma month. "Considerable shell steel is still on the books for tha Allies, and the first can cellations are likely to come on' these contracts rather than those of the United States Government , 1 Fixed Prices to Star. "There is unofficial advice of plans for the continuance of the price fixing com mittee of the War Industries Board for six months after peace Ls declared.' This Is presumably in answer to In quiries that have been going to Wash ington from the steel trade concerning the future of Government control. "Influenza defeated the well laid plans for new records in October at blast fur naces and steel plants. Pig Iron output was 3,486,941 tons, or 112,462 tons a day;) as compared with 3, 418,270 tons for tho' thirty days of September, or 113,942 tons a day. However, last month's rec ord Was only exceeded once previous to September, tho month ' of October, 1916. showing 113.139 tons a day. "Tho wlro trade may bo, the first to develop peace activity. After some months of the withdrawal of Its sales men from the field the leading wire In terest has now sent out a considerable number." , The Jrqn Trade Review will say : "Germany's surrender clearly . having been made a question only of time by the stupendous events of the last week the iron and steel Industry more squarely Is being brought face to face with the realities of .readjustment. The bewilder ing rapidity with which International affairs have reached their Dresent state- has Intensified the Initial uncertainty. ana suspense, oui calmer reflection nas been exercising a due. measure of re straint The cardinal fact that" vlrtuil'y every ton of Iron and steel now being produced contlnues'to be, 'demanded for war or essential purposes is a steady ing Influence. - , Dlsr Iron Order From England. "Trade fears are not those of the effects of a peace, but of the uncharted period of transition from a war to., peace basis. Authoritative expressions from Washing ton show that the situation already Is receiving consideration In the highest circles. The belief has been strength ened that present Governmental regula tion will be extended In some form to stabilise trade conditions after peace Is made. - The 'vital necessity of maintain ing production at high speed continues to be sounded by the Government Great Britain Is negotiating through the Gov ernment for 7SO.O0O tons of basic Iron for delivery over the first half of 1915. This la probably the largest single In quiry ever put before American Iron producers. "The sub-committee on iron and steel scrap sticks to Its belief that there will be enough scrap to supply the steel In dustry during the coming winter. Tha only doubt Is In the case of cast scrap. due to tha fact that a number of fur naces have been switched from foundry to stcelmaklng iron, with a consequent Increased demand for cast scrap. Al though the supply of .scrap has not en larged any. the outlook for peace has made It much easier to purchase scrap. The United States Railroad Adm,lnlstnw tlon has put out an Inquiry for 2.000 hopper cars for the Virginian Railway, and Is expected to make Inquiry for some locomotives. "The steel trade watches with Inter est for the revisions to existing vessel contracts which are to be made by the United States Shipping Board. It is teamed that the Shipping Board will concentrate on the production of large vessels, since these are the only kind that will be of valuo In International trade competition after thewar. Hven (he 7,600 ton and 8.000 ton vessels which are being turned out at Hog Isl and fall short of the -Ideal. The read justments In contracts, thereice, will be drastic and It Is not unlikely that until they are completed considerable tonnage may be held up at the mills until they receive new schedules of specifications."
