SINKERS ARE PREPARING I FOR LARGE FINANCING BY I. A. FLEMING. Another issue of Treasury limited to 9400,000.000. bearing date January 22 and payable April 22, has bfien announced, this following on the Iryue of an undefined amount Of certlftcates maturing In June and Issued In anticipation of the Income wrx payments.

The fact that the issue announced yesterday is payable April 23 hasj caused many bankers to anticipate the date as the one to be selected later as' the date for the first Installment payments of the third liberty loan bonds. These certificates will meet with reiady sale, in anticipation of loan. sTsubjcct which bankers do not care discuss in detail, although hoping that the market will be In especially favorable condition to help along the movement when the campaign starts. With high-grade commercial paper readily salable at to 6 per cent money is being kept well employed, but it is plainly evident that the banks are keinping themselves In as strong a position as possible for the demands that will be made on them during the few months. In some banks the hope is expressed that the Treasury Department may continue to finance itself with for a considerable period until the worst of the great Income tax financing is over.

Payments on the tax bill will not be made in the majority of cases until June, but large taxpayers will. If wise, complete their financing for this purpose. before the bond issue is made. Commercial paper is being purchased by local banks in large amounts, some of the more important institutions goIlls out of their way to get paper, for Hie reason that It is so readily redlscoun table at the federal reserve banks. As stated before, bankers do not care to discuss the probable rate of interest on the next bond iseue, and It Is likely that the situation will be very carefully sounded by the Secretary of the Treasury before making known his decision in the matter.

Moreover, it would seem ae If authorisation by Congress would be required If the Issue is to be as large as has fre- quently been suggested.To Consolidate Business. Beginning next Monday the Munsey Trust Company will consolidate the business of the main office with that of the 15th street branch, in the Southern building, surrendering Its main ofllces temporarily to the government.

CHICAGO, January the temperature on the board" of trade so low today that many of the brokers appeared in overcoats, business was almost at a standstill. Telegraph operation from the exchange floor was entirely suspended. Under such circumstances, corn quotations kept within narrow limits and had little, if any, significance.

Opening prices, which ranged from unchanged figures to lower, with January 1.27H and May 1.24 to 1.24ft, were followed by slight rally, reaching, in some CHH, A trifle above yesterday's finish. Oats showed somewhat greater flrmness than corn. Extreme scantiness of receipts was responsible. Higher quotations on hogs tended to strengthen provisions. Gains, however, were not important.

This move it made on urgent appeal of the United Shipping Board for more space in the Munsey Building. The Shipping Board already occupies large space in the building and is in great need of more room in which to carry on its vitally important work. This temporary consolidation of the main office of The Munsey Trust Company with its branch at Fifteenth and streets will not prove a hardship to our depositors at the main office, as the Fifteenth and street banking room is ample in size and equipment. Holders of safe deposit boxes at the main office can obtain similar boxes and equal accommodations and attention at Fifteenth and streets1.
