GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Another Sure Thing.

A break in Canadian Pacific took
that stock INTO the forties for the first
time N years. Yesterdays low mark
compared with a minimum price OF 1853,
when re exchange reopened. The
Street has been ~chronically beaiish
upon G. =. r. for n long time. The
earnings have been sensationally bad,
and reports OF business and financial
conditions In the Dominion have not
promised an early recovery. Neverthe-
less the decline was attributed to I'm
ported stock that arrived yesterday
morning on the ST. Louis.
Selling from the other side may have
beer induced by general consideration
and therefore Is not necessarily n PROOF
that the foreign Investor Is losing fait1
in one OF his favorite stocks. one sug-
gestlon wal that the stock came from
Holland. its sale being caused by fears
hat that country might be drawn into
the war. Another idea was that II rep
resented the last German owned stock
and was being ~liquidated for fear OF a
possible severence OF relations between
tails country and Germany. which would
c,ose the only foreign market that tho
Germans have to sell such stocks in.
But whatever the actual reasons for
the selling the decline conceded ex-
actly with professional Wall street q
IDEAS OF the appropriate. Bearish SEN
timent in regard to Canadian Pacihc
has increased to the point where II Is
almost hysterical. Should the down
ward movement 60 TO any lengths the
market might easily Choke up on the
short side. so unanimous is the opinion
that Canadian Pacific az n short sale

FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
Irregular Stock Market, With

STRONG IN SPECIALTIES

Probably the action OF stocks yester-
day was no moro than might have been
expected in consequence Of such a
session as last Friday. The sudden ex-
pansion Of dealings then to an aggre-
gate fully three times the average VOL

n large supply OF stocks into the market.
This suggested the likelihood OF subse-
quent recessions In the process OF alb
sorption when there was no immedi-
ate reason for a sustained scale OF active
strength against the restraints provided
by the present doubtful posture OF inter-
national affairs. At all events the ini-
tisl market Of the week was curlously
irregular. with q good deal OF special
strength and quite a little general hea vi
ness.

After a lull lasting several weeks the
speculation in Bethlehem Steel started
up again. There was a highly excited

the market in Bethlehem steel is not
the rapidity o. the advance or the level
at which the stock now sells. II Ii the
way active trading persists in a stock
which is wholly unsuitable as a vehicle
for general speculation. Transactions
