GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


According to an individual Of ironclad
protectionist principles, there Is one as
pect of the present situa ton that Is dis
tlnctly favorable That is that the Eu-
ropean war has effectively repealed the
new tarif law. or at least has rendered
its provisions negligible for long time
to come. The bogey OF foreign competition
for tie steel, sugar wollens and other In
dustrles in this country has disappeared as
completely as IL 1t never existed. The
reason Is Immediately apparent. There
Is no prospect for years OF any serious
competition from English or German steel
mills. from tho German beet sugar in
austry or from an> other foreign MANN
facturers who have been able to produce
more cheaply that Is possible In this coun-
try. Even after the war is over. foreign
manufacturers will have moro than they
can do to supply their own needs in the
great period of reorganization. and there
promises to be q big market for our
surplus products. Steel manufacturers
bore are now utterly disrcgarding the
considerations raised by the new tariff
law. Prices will rise in accordance with
the home demand. On tho other hand. IN
the case of commodities upon which tho
tariff duties were raised. such as wines
and other luNuries. tho cessation OF all
importations win have a serious effect
on that part Of tho public revenues de-
rived from custom duties.

Expectations that the exchange authori-

Inauguration OF an open cash market in
stocks or other forms of limited trading
are evidently based on the theory that
the cash demand for securities which has
been evident since the exchange closed
would continue indefinitely. There is no
sound foundation for that view. Granted
that there Ia At present an excellent ir-
vestment demand for stocks at the closing
prices. A good portion Is undoubtedly

Offset liquidation either of loca; or foreign
origin. But Investment buying Is not
continuous; II proceeds in waves. What
reason Ia there for suppos.ng that there
would be a continuous investment buy
ing sufficient to hold prices up? In a
cash market what would happen TO prices
when the Investment demand slackened
or ceased temporarily? II IL pretty safe
to conclude that the Stock Exchange will
not reopen for business until the time Is
ripe for general buying and selling on
margin, since only in this way could "A
really close and reliable market be estab-
lished. As regards resumption of gen
eral speculation the present banking posi-

THE GRAIN MARKET.
sharp Receveries Follow Early De-
pression Here.

Sentiment in tho wheat market was de-
cldedly less pessimistic yesterday. An
early break of from " to 2hc. was
superseded by a substantial rise. There
was fresh export business with interests
OF the United Kingdom. and the outward
movement OF wheat yesterday from all
Gulf and seaboard ports totalled 11.000,-
oOo Thus a slight betterment In the ex-
port situation Ia revealed.
More authorities were found who were
willing TO consider the buying side OF the
list. prices having gone down from nine
to eleven within a very short time. Still
no evidence is AT hand Of rampant spec
uiation. The crusade against the higher
costs OF foodstuffs IL doubtless exerting
sentimental influence in this respect. On
the other hand. a great deal is heard OF
wheat being relatively cheap when COM
pared with corn and oats.
The weekly wheat visible supply state
ment promoted more or less buying. There
was a decrease Of 49, 900 bushels shown.
whereas a heavy gain had been antici-
pated. Farmers are not In hurry to sell.
They have received assurances from Gov
ernmental sources that wheat has much
intrinsic merit. These intimations were
expressed at the outbreak OF the war but
prior TO the public clamor against the In
creased cost OF living. Holders OF wheat
are naturally affected more by the former
than the latter.
Selling by cash interests accounted for
the brief spell OF weakness yesterday. The
Armour house was conspicuous. North
western markets exhibited tho greatest
declines In reflection OF tho mounting OF
the spring wheat movement. Official ad-
vices from Canada giving the winter and
spring wheat crops at seven to ten points
under the condition of last year partly
confirmed recent statements that the ag-
gregate wheat yield In that country would
be from $4,000. 900 to 75,000,0o0 under
that OF year ago.
Corn--A rise OF 2 cents followed the
initial setback Cash houses soon
absorbed the country offerings. There was
very little liquidation prompted by the
generally favorable weather conditions.
showers were recorded in parts OF Ne
braska, Iowa, Illinois and Ohio Tenn
peratures are seasonal. The visible de-
creased $4,000 bushels for the week.
Stocks of old corn are extremely light In
all sections. which accounts for the big
premiums for spot stun. The trade Is
feeling the absence OF Argentine importa-
tions.
Oats-Reports that 500, 900 bushels OF
oats. Canadian and part American, had
been sold for export caused a hurried
retreat OF the short interest. The gain
of more than 5000, 900 bushels in the
weekly visible statement had but momen-
;ary effect. outside buying was seen.
Profit taking checked the rise.
provisions-Trade was quiet. Weak
ness in hogs caused early selling Later
the pressure subsidized. due to the rise in
grain and decreasing stocks of product
at Chicago.
