FACT AND GOSSIP
IN BUSINESS
WORLD
By 0. C. FORRES,
NEW YORK, May 7. -Conditions, un
fortunately. have gone backward The
farts, briefly. are
Grain prices have advanced in conse
quence of floods and other unfavorable
developments Cotton has become dis-,
tinctly dearer.
Trade improvement has not fulfilled ex
pectations, due partly tn unseasonable
weather The failure of the tee! corpo
ration tn earn hs common stock dividend
has created a bad impression.
Politics have upset all calculations and
are now breeding grave uncertainty in
financial circles
Labor troubles are still more or less
unsettling
Yet until Friday the stork market per
sisted in ignoring unpleasant develop,
ments The sharp break may mean only
a desperate attack by professional bears.
Then again, it. may/prove portentinus of
more sobering speculative happenings.
The head of a leading international
banking house thus summed up the situa
tion to me a day nr two ago:
“Why should any <>ne look for a stock
market boom just now .' Agriculture has
been disappointing. So has the business
revival that set in six weeks ago. Poli
tics are at sixes and sevens and will
cause us all to wait at least we will not
venture to bring forward very large
plans The investment demand at pres
ent is quiet, but one of the best, features
is that money has become quite easy
abroad, and is also plentiful here. By
and-by we will !»<■ able to bring out a
considerable amount of. new securities.
But for a while prudence suggests going
slowly ’*
That, to my mind, contains much wis
dom.
Os course, most of the adverse happen
ings are likely to prove of only tempo
rary effect Crops can easily turn out
record-breakers; industry may brighten
up at any moment, especially if warmer
weather be enjoyed: the political ka
leidoscope may become more cheerful,
and investors, tired of leaving money
lying at unremunerativc rates in institu
tions. may enter the market and assim
ilate many millions of bonds, stocks and
the now popular short-term notes
Labor negotiations will bear watching.
Rejection of Coal Agreement.
The rejection of the coal agreement
drawn up by joint sub-committees was
not encouraging. Certainly the operators
succeeded in reducing their concessions
to a minimum, and those workers who
had confidently expected a substantial
victory did have ground for dissatisfac
tion. At the same time the immediate
decision of the full committee not to
throw in their allegiance with their col
leagues was a serious -top Had the
owners refused to s»an<i by the üb-rom
mittee’s agreement, what then?
The significance of the appointment of
an arbitration commission of seven mem
bers to adjudicate the Eastern locomo
tive engineers’ dispute can not be exag
gerate* I
Has a wav at laz-t been found to avoid
hast' - , ill-considered strikes? Are the in
terests nt the public finally to receive
some slight consideration?
May Mark End of Strikes.
Let the experiment have a happy out
come, and who can foretell the future
consequences? The day of strikes should
end even as the danger of war between
nations should no longer bang as. a
stifling a civilized world.
The fresh demands made upon the rail
roads. ibis time by firemen, have not
come as a surprise tn the managers, lor
did they not it press upon the engine
drivers that the granting of their requests
would be the signal for an uprising
among other employees all along the
line?
From the public's standpoint, it is well
that the entire railroad situation be in
vestigated by an unbiased body of capa
ble citizens. Genuine, widespread nros
pet ity could not he enjoyed b> the 1 nited
States were her railroad:- her largest
spenders, be it remembered to be crip
pled to the verge of bankruptcy . So im
portant a section of the economic body
could’ not be wounded without weaken
ing the whole system.
Stock Market Setback.
Concerning stocks, little can bo said
with confidence. Certain financiers of
note believe that a setback is inevitable.
They have not bought at the high prices,
rmr do thev find their friend-- eager io
load up <*mnmission house..; declare ’he
pjtblic has not inundated them with
orders
The inference is that speculators pos
sessing both cash and courage have been
chiefly responsible f<»r the spectacular ad
van* Outside conditions were more iri
their favor a month ago than they are
now.
But <ix months hence the period
which Wall Street traditionally looks
ahead- Fundamental ; <«u«’h as • rnps.

be on the side of the bull than the bear

STOCKS.
By CHARLES W. STORM,
NEW YORK. Max 7. United State
steel was the weakest stock on the list
at the opening today as a result of heavy
selling induced bx the government hear
ing in the dissolution suit now going on
in this city. Steel was offered in large
blocks and within a few minutes had
yielded 1,% t<» 64%.
A number of other important issues de
clined materially, and the whole list was
weak. Reports in London that Canadian
Pacific max soon make another stock dis
tribution caused buying of that stock
which gave ii decided strength Canadian
Pacific here opened at 257, a gain of %
The anthracite situation again brought
pressure to Reading. This stock opened
at 171%. a decline of 1% from Monday s
cluse. "After half an hour there was a
rally in Reading on supporting orders and
part <if the carlx loss was recovered.
Amalgamated Copper yielded over a
point, selling down to 79%. As Rea<iing
had done, this stock also recovered from
its loss later.
Xru'ing ’hr other opening losses were
Erie %. Baltimore and Ohio %. Penns'l
x ania %>• Lehigh \ alley %, Union Pacific
% and Southern Pacific •%.
The curb was steady.
With the exception of I'm ted States

Sharp Decline in Shares With
Demand Weak—Other Is

By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. May 6 There was ex
cited transact ions in United States Steel
and Pennsylvania at the opening of the
market t<wiay. the former losing 1% and
the latter 2% ’The first scale of Steel
common was thought to include 10,000
shares Union Pacific and Reading each
yielded over 1 point
The mne was weak, and practically all
of the industrial interests seemed to be
• m the hectr sifle.
Among ’he other losses were Steel pre
ferred %. Amalgamated <’npper %.
Anicri-an Smelling Baltimore and
Ohio %. Atchison %. Reading s.. Lehigh
Valley Missouri Pacific (’anadian
Pacific % and Smit hern Pacific %.
At the end of the first fifteen minutes
a show <»f stea<lincss <levcloped and some
of the issues recovered a fraction of their
initial loss.
Erie common and preferred advanced
%. while Southern Railway opened %
higher.
The curb was dull am! weak.
Americans in London were* stea»lx
above New ) <>rk parity ’’anadian Pacific
was under pressure after a spurt, and its
best price was shaded.
Liquidation was in evidence throughout
all the forenoon and vigorous declines
were in progress. London was the heav
iest •seller of the more important specula
five issues. Steel common was weak, de
clining more th.in 2 points The rest of
th? market was tairly well held, allhough
joining in the general downward move
ment, which caused losses of I point or
more m many of the important stocks.
