MARKET GOSSIP
London stock market was depress
ed on a rumor that Austria had sent
an ultimatum to Servia. Consols sold
down to 84. A further decline of 1-4
per cent but rallied a little later. —
D. J.
Press comment is mixed, general
sentiment is bearish and highly im
portant covering took place yesterday
afternoon with good buying for long
account. We suggest conservatively
bullish operations on heavy activity.
The $100,000,000 So. Pac. convertible
bond issue rumor should help that
stock. It is said Steel may engaga
in pressed steel car manufacturing.
Lawson is said to be short, Harriman
rumored to be 111, and the Balkan
trouble looms in The Sun. Neither
feature has basis to worry the cool
operator.—N. Y. Financial Bureau.
The usual conditions that influence
prices are not being considered at
the moment. There has been no sup.
port extended and short selling lias
been considerable. If support is with
held prices will sag further. Stocks
will be cheap today find later when
shorts want to cover the story may
be different. —C. B. & Co.
The weakness In stock market yes
terday is thought to have caused the
easy tone in the cotton market, ns
some Wall Street interests showed
a disposition to even up their holdings
in anticipation of any further decline
in stocks and at the same time to
buy cotton in case it should go lower.
It is suggested that cotton sent here
for delivery on March contract will
be entered at a loss. Nevertheless,
we are positively advised by ona
house that they are forwarding 10,000
bales and they further state they
know 40,000 bales in all that is com
ing in for delivery on contract. With
cheap money the decline in securities
will not be serious and lasting.—C B
& CO.
There is a rumor that all steel pro
ducts that have not already cut will
be reduced $2.00 a ton.—C. B.

tlonß and refreshments at their re
spective armories upon the comple
tion of the parade.
