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.

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.
