LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.


1t was natural to expect that message
OF the character which President Roose-
Welt sent to Congress yesterday would pc
discussed when the men representing =
large part of the financial interests OF the
city come together as they do at the
daily meetings OF the stock exchange.
With views on the methods of corporate
management expressed In the vigorous
style that is now familiar when the
President speaks on public subjects he
does not fail to attract the attention
even of men deeply absorbed in their own
affairs. So when the brokers came to-
gether today comment flew about tersely
put, and which did not indicate that the
Presidents composition exactly suited the
views of those present. Owing to the
fact that the day was the last or tne
week and rather unpleasant as far as the
weather was concerned, the attenaance
was one of the smallest In some time.
and therefore what the President had TO
say did not receive the benefit of that
general interchange of opinion which is
usual with the informal discussions which
takes place during the call.
The market influence of such utterances
as those of the President as a rule Is the
gauge which determines their wisdom or
advisability with men interested In imam
cial matters, and SO 1t might be expected
tndt as the Iuflner aSltatlon OF corpora
ton methods is thought to be needless
interference with the course of q return
to normal conditions in the business
world such document as the Presidents
message is not specially welcome.
However, what was said today was more
in the line of chaff. and perhaps sarcasm.
than anything else. and when the cali
was begun the subject was dropped. The
brokers might as well have gone on talk
ing on that topic or any other of interest
to them for any business they did.
One of the brokers ventured to renew
the bid made yesterday of IS for gas
stock, and he was SO promptly supplied
with 1t that he did not ask II he could
get any more at the same figure, but
dropped his bid half point. The asking
price recorded was 20.
Some odd lots of Capital Traction sold
for 120 and the principal dealer in this Sc
curity remarked he had orders to buy this
stock on a declining scale, or all the way
down, as he expressed it. Another broker
retorted that in his opinion he would get
the stock on those terms.
There was nothing of consequence done
in the balance of the call, or during the

NEW YORK. February Although the
speculative element in Wall street was
disposed yesterday to treat the Presi-
dents message with great indifference. 1t
Is known that important interests were
not little concerned as to its probable
effect in several directions. They. of
course, regarded 1t to q considerable ex-
tent as campaign document, and as
such they admitted that in all probability
1t would carry considerable weight out
side Of the large cities They believe also
that 1t will tend to increase the distrust
on the part Of the people at large with re-
spect to Wall street and corporate matters
which has been entertained for several
years In a marked way.
It Is feared also that the Presidents
message will have a similar effect upon
foreign investors. and that this effect will
be reflected in lessening demand for our
leading stocks and bonds. This feature
OF the situation is particularly regretted
because OF late Europe has shown a pro-
nounced tendency to buy our stocks, bonds
and short-term notes.

In Washington press dispatch publish
ed in this city yesterday 1t was ru-
mored that the message sent to Congress
yesterday by the President was the first
OF series of special messages that he
would transmit to that body at somewhat
frequent intervals during the remainder
OF his term. The serious element in Wall
street was not a little fearful yesterday
that during the coming twelve months the
outgivings OF the President would be suf-
ficfently frequent and radical to disturb
business. not only at this center. but
throughout the country.
The heads Of the more active and i'm
portant commission houses are not rec
ommending the purchase Of stocks at this
time. and say that they can see nothing
in the situation to bring about a mate
rally and permanently higher level of
prices In the near future. On the con-
trary, they think a spirit of Indifference
will be maintained with respect to the
market. except by professional operators.
who may be expected to commit them
selves moderately to the short side. In
fact, conservative and even characteristic
cally optimistical interests seem to think
that prices will gradually drop back
toward the low range established last
autumn.
