Special DispatcA 10 The Star.
NEW YORK. May 16-If no further un-
favorable features developed today It was
expected that the stock market would rally
somewhat from yesterdays sharp decline.
due to heavy selling Of Union Pacific on the
reported recommendation Of the council for
the interstate commerce commission In the
Hartman Investigation. Traders realised
this morning that they acted somewhat
rashly yesterday and that the recommends
lions of the commission itself may not be
a. drastic as yesterdays rumors indicated
As q matter OF fact, however. railroads
and banking interests expect that the COM
plete report Of the commission will be
drastic and until 1t In made public 1t u ex-
pected that the tendency viii be to sell
short Union Pacific and the stocks Of which
the company Ii a large holder. notably
Southern Pacific. These who ara consider
ing the matter In q broad way continue to
lay emphasis upon the big decline from the
high prices Of six months ago. which all
OF the active issues have experienced.
Consequently. they think. that whatever
unfavorable development there may be dur
ing the next few months. the decline from
about 60. prices will not be particularly Sc
we're. It il taken for granted. Of course, that
on any alarming announcement. Hike that OF
yesterday with respect to the Hartman line,
the stocks most directly affected will sell
OF sharply and the whole market recede
proportionately. but no big slump. like that
Of the middle Of March, IL looked for. On
the 'other hand 1t Ia believed that on The
moderate declines there will be substantial
buying Of the leading issues.
=
As indicated yesterday, It Is known that
there is q large amount Of money in banks
and trust companies which would be put
into stocks ON both an investment and
speculative basis II the owners OF these
funds were confident that all Of the unfa-
vorable features in the situation were out
Of the way. Some of these individuals be-
Heye that there are various matters which
must be cleared up before the financial sit
uatfon will be On sound basis. but as
soon as this Is accomplished they look for Q
period OF renewed activity and prosperity
In Wall street.
Not few banking interests are confident
son Of the year In which 1t 10 expected by
most observers to be tight.
They base their opinion on the belief that
by that time general business will have slack
ened considerably and also that tho govern
ment will be in a position to place a L.. &c
amount OF money in the national banks.
During the next few days and perhaps
OF the market Is looked for, but 1t is be-
Heved by conservative interests that II it
continues dun. conditions will improve very
materially. SO that q little later on II will
be possible to have a much better bond and
stock market.

your town your road won't have so
much freight to handle.
1t takes 10 gallons to paint fair-size
house, and that house won't want paint
ing again for or 10 years. That's true
in way; but people, you know, rather
like fresh paint, and they paint for moth
ing but looks sometimes.
That house would take IL or l3 gal
Ions of almost any other paint than
DevOe, and would have to be painted
again in half that time. Ten years is
a very long time for paint to wear;
and five isn't short.
Which makes the most freight, 10
or 2O-gallon paint? or 10 year-paint?
But the 10-gallon paint is the 1O-year
paint; and the 20-gallon paint is the
5-year paint. Which makes the most
freight.
Ask your paint-dealer which he d
rather sell, and which he could sell
most Of Ask your painter which he d
rather paint; whether good or bad
paint is good for his business; which
is good paint, the 10 or l5-gallon paint;
which pays most freight, and which
pays most wages. Which will you buy
yourself, the 1O-gallon lO-year, or 20
gallon 5-year, paint?
