GOSSIP OF A STREET.

Some very decent prohts rave been
made by the early spectators in the
war brides' on the Stock Exchange.
Bethlehem steel also treated those who
had faith In 1t handsomely. Electric
Boat has done well by it's followers.
But in all Of these the profits made bore
some relation to the element Of risk
involved. The really easy money OF all
seems to have been made this week by
an exceedingly shrewd Individual who
took advantage Of the establishment 81

on the curb. ON Friday thism man bought
u fair sized block Of Canadian Car and
Foundry in London at a net cost OF
12i.. New York equivalent. with all
cable expenses paid. A few moments
later he sold IL here around 30. The
same man bought Canadian Car n
Foundry in Canada at g. q few days
since and made another very profitable
turn.

The foregoing Is. Of course. not really
speculation at all. II is All arbitraEe
business where the prize IL for %auickness
and alertness. There are probably sew
erai causes for the wide disparity be-
tween prices here and London and Can
ada which made the operation possible.
This may. for instance, have been an
isolated case where the people on the
other side were not aware of the es-
tablishment OF an active Wall street
market In the stock. But II In easy to
see how much more difficult II Is for
such a boom to start on the other side.
The London market In many classes OF
securities has bern absoluts ly slogged
up with unstable stun. 50 that bids
have been eagerly taken advantage Of.
Wall Street. on the other hand, Is the
ideal market for war stocks. TNey -four

active Industry afoot to discover new
possibilities in other cities and countries
and import them. The launching OF a
new war bride is an exceedingly p~sht-
able operation.

Activity in the war stocks and their

NEW YORK. July 23.-A fresh out break, late today. of disturbances af- ter comparative quiet which prevailed at Constable Hook, a section of Bay onne, N. J., after a cessation of the ri- oting of the past three days when three were killed and scores injured The outbreak occurred when Sheriff Kinkead led his deputies through the streets and was attacked by more than one thousand strikers and sympathi- gers necessitating a call for the police reserves. There were many sore heads from clubs and rocks.
 Although the sherif made an appeal to the crowd to disperse, they an- swered with showers of clubs and stones They only quieted after the strike leaders appeared and counseled them Co go to their homes. Many shots were fired but the only known injured consisted of bruised heads and limbs While the rioting was go- ing on the two mediators from the federal Department of Labor were in conference with officials of the stan dard oil Company in an effort to bring about a settlement of the strike in the oil plants of the Standard, which also caused a shutdown in the Tidewater Companys plant The mediators made no statement tonight as regards their efforts

DECISIVE BATTLE IS
 EXPECTED IN FEW DAYS
Natural DefenSeS Of Russians Mean Hard Work for TeutOnS: German Offensive Is Expected in West Near St MihieI.

LONDON. July 23-The Austrians and Germans are pushing their great attacks against the Russians defend ing Warsaw with undiminished ener- gy and at some points report progress. They are operating. however, through country which the retiring troops laid waste, and the roads are little suited for the movements of heavy artillery. which is necessary for the bombardment of the great forTesses barring the way lt is not expected therefore decisive actions on any front will be fought for a few days fl- though the battle between the Vistula and Bug rivers where the Teutons are advancing toward the Lublin-Cholm railroad, has not reached its climax. Severe fighting is still going on in the Argonne and in the Vosges on the east cu front, but without material chang as in the positions of the opposing armies
 it is reported unolncially that the Germans are massing troops at St. Mihiol for a more extended offensive. That Germans will attempt an ofen- sive here is considered certain by mil itary observers.
 In the Warsaw lighting the German official issued this afternoon, claims that between the Visrula and Rug riy- CTS, Won Machensen's army has sue ceeded despite the obstinate Russians at several points and has forced them Co retreat The Russians. however, have had time to prepare a series of positions and it is believed they will make every effort Co hold them until, if it becomes necessary their army is able 70 retire from Warsaw
