LONDON STOCK MARKET
Failure of Strike Conference
Causes Heavy Tone on
the Exchange.

LONDON, March 16.-Money was firm
but discount rates were quiet today.
The failure OF the coal strike confer
ence caused a heavy tone on the stock
exchange. Consels lost 5-16 and home
rails from a u to Y, but hopes that the
government legislation will bring an early
settlement prevented a pronounced de.
cline. Speculation in mining shares was
checked by continental and local real
izing and prices declined, tin shares
being especially weak.
American securities opened easy and
from unchanged to Y lower. Prices were
depressed by continental and local sell
ing, which continued throughout the
session, and the market closed weak with
values ranging from X to 2 points lower
than yesterdays New York closing.
Active During Week.
The strength and activity of the stock
market during the greater part of the
week made it difficult to realize that the
country's trade is being crippled by the
coal strike. The gilt-edged and home
rail sections proceeded steadily upward,
as operators held optimistic views of the
outcome Of the coal war, especially when
the miners decided to meet the owners
to discuss the differences, but today
heavineSS occurred, owing to the failure
of the conference, and most Of the early

Change of Attitude.

The sentimental changes of attitude in

This, of course, was not outgiven by

NEW YORK. March 16.-It is all mat
Ter OF mood in Wall street. The same facts
that were making all the professionals
blue mere week or two ago are now
the texts for joyous enthusiasm. The
British coal strike and it's incident for
eign trade confusion, reaching far toward
decentralization, is actually hailed now as
an important development favorable to
American business. The extraordinary
situation at Lawrence becomes coinciden-
ally an agreeable argument-taleS of i'm
position and distress turned of sudden
into congratuiation over the disclosure
that American capital is, after all, to
meet labor more than half way. But per-
haps the most amazing exhibit of all in
this conversion of what seemed bad and
into what seems good prevails in the
stock market over the enforced dissolu-
ton of the Standard Oil Company, max
ing its hundred subsidiaries Independent
and competing properties. When the At
torney General started his dissolution
suit, and later, step by step. when prog
ress was made with that suit, Wall street
was gorged with dismay. The end of the
financial world had come-So mOaned the
almost universal chorus. Standard Oil
capitalists were unanimously recitative
of what dreadful things had come to

inhibited, all freedom in finance exter-
minated. Wall street. moreover, thought
this to be wailing rather mild. Every pro-
fesSional sold every stock short. 1t was
much set forth that there would be found
no market whatsoever for the loosened
subsidiary stocks, many of which were
distributed In fractional shares.
This gloom pervaded just long enough
for downcast millionaire insiders to turn
trick or two upon the quiet. While they
incurred not one of them was idle
throughout all their blueness they were
buying. And a week or SO ago lesser

WHY WORRY /?

A great many folks are worrying
about the present between-the-devil-
and-deep-sea position that the Hon.
Tom Eph Knots, mayor of Gary, has
been placed in. The chances are
that there will be tie vote and
"hizzoner" will be compelled to heave
the deciding ballot In the race for
the aldermanic seat from which Bat
tleaxe Castleman was ousted. To
vote for friend Englehart or TO spear
him and obviate the danger of an
instruction on the part of the Pc
pulls champeen is the spectre now
confronting the embonpoint figure of
the great Gary mayor.
OF those who are worrying how
ever, Knots is doing the least. Tight
places have a fascination for him and
getting out of them is his long suit
In fact it is a wonder to us that he
hasn't been called into the extricat-
ing department at the Coliseum long
before this.
