FINANCIAL GOSSIP

The Japanese bond issue was very heavily
over subscribed. -
Steel mills are running behind in deliveries of
steer plate and other products. ~
railroad lines east of Chicago report the move
ment OF general merchandise much ahead of
New York wire to Piper says a much
better Keeling In all the coal stocks has been
stimulated by the increase in the Delaware,
Lackawanna s. Western dividend, and it is
believed that Pennsylvania will receive good
the bonds. s7,a. Z 49, 5@1e-7. go :.
Watson's New York office says: ''The upward
movement OF stocks the past few days has been
due more to the over-sold condition of the mar
ket than to any other consideration There are
certain fixed conditions of which all are aware,
applying to every succeeding day, and as yet
these give no signs OF changing for the worse.
Certain special stocks are moved up and down
periodically, irrespective Of what the general
trend may be as governed by specific facts
concerned"
Whallon's New York wire says: 1.-THE sue
cess OF the Japanese loan exceeds expectations
and proves to be the most successful launched
IN years. All this points toward peace. More
than likely some time today the bears will
make drive at the market. 1t Is the time
to buy stocks on these drives
sEdWards-W Wood say: "All told the next divi-
dend on American Shelters common will be at
the rate Of per cent, and it may sell at 125.
The bank statement today does not show loss
in cash, hence 1t better in reserve than was
expected. The decrease in loans Is In line with
estimates.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS
AFTER PENSION FUND
Object to Money Being Voted to
Assisting Poor Army
Officers.
Especial Copyright CabIe.)

BERLIN, July $50 violent have been
10. .Oo0. 900 mark fund, the interest from
which is to be turned over to the
Kaiser to be used in assisting poor army
officers, that the president of the COM
mittee that collected the fund, Prince
Gindo HenckeI Won Dounersmark, has
been himself forced to publish a defense
of it in the Kreu Zietung.
To the argument of the socialists that
there is no more reason to assist poor
officers and impoverished noblemen than
to assist those of any other class, the
prince replies that as long as the salary
of junior army officers is being kept
down by the opposition of the socialists
1t is absolutely necessary that the gov
ernment do something to keep those who
have no private fortune out of the hands
of usurers and money lenders.
The Kaiser cannot give away this
money promiscuous1y, IL can be given
only TO lieutenants and in amounts
