THE CURB MARKET.

Prices in general on the outside mar
ket were irregular yesterday In the
forenoon, with few spots displaying
marked strength. International Mercan-
tile Marine shares were the only issues
that were active and strong, with the
oommon stock selling as high as 8 and
the preferred at 11&. Both of these
stocks reacted sharply on the news or
the sinking of the Arabic. The whole
market was 80 affected by this news
that for a while everything sold at sharp
concessions.
Mining stocks again were featureless.

Transactions In detail on the market
yesterday were as follows:
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-08-20

After the close OF business II was
reported that the Arabic had been tor
pedoed without warning. This caused
some increased nervousness on the part
OF spectators who had gone home long
OF stocks, and IL vas reported hat there
was some Offering OF stocks in New
street below the last prices. on the
other hand, II was possible to buy
puts on the market surprisingly close,
considering everything, which does not
suggest any great feeling OF v
ness. There was a good deal OF talk
OF supporting orders having saved the
market from a bad break.
Indeed, this was the common ex-
PLANTATION used by those who could not
understand how a market which was
supposed to be in a weak technical posi-
ton could act as we'll as It did. But
4. Is likely that the influence OF this
factor was greatly exaggerated, IL in
deed II played any part at all. The
popular idea about supporting orders
seems TO be that Ii IL a part of the
Stock Exchange machinery to be brought
into operation like a fire e%xtinguisher
whenever required. As a matter of fact,
buying of this kind Is rarely IL ever
p~hilanthropic in its design. II a break
was threatened by the bad news there
was not the slightest reason in the
world why banking interests should
have attempted to maintain the price
level by main force a point or so under
the top after an extensive rise had
occurred. II Is much more reasonable
to suppose that buying OF this kind
would wait Until stocks were offered on
more advantageous terms.

GOSSIP OF A STREET.
No Panic.

All things considered, the stock mar
ket acted we'll in the face OF the dis
turbing news of the fate of the Arabic.
Although II vas obvious at once tnat
the incident contained grave possibilities
there was no sign OF panic. For this,
the later. despatch that no lives a been
lost was probably responsible, although
there were limitations that this was
not entirely correct. The market was
a two sided AFFAIR right up to the close,
and all Of the buying could hardly have
been of the kind known as supporting
orders. The Lusitania incident, being
the first of its kind, struck the imagina-
ton the more forclbly. but even maxi
ing allowance for that the action OF the
market yesterday compared favorably
with its behavior on the former oc-
cast m.
What the trading represented was
a confusion of mind. due to the con-
fiicting dispatches describing the oc-
%currence. There was the same confusion
patches on the lay the Lusttania sank.
1t is possible TO infer from this
that the speculative position vas in a
better state than then, for after all
the Street was under M decisions as to
the threat OF a break with Germany
should 1t be found that the rights of
American citizens had been violated.
Perhaps an explanation Is that the idea
OF a break with Germany does not in
spire the fears that 1t would have done
months ago, before the possibility had
been considered.

THE E MARKET.
Holland Vow InautrinE Here for
Bars and BilIets,

The steel market continues active and
prices show an advancing tendency. The
heavy denand for war needs is incrcls-
ing steadily. 1t was reported yesterday
that negotiations We're under way for
the placing OF new orders for enormous
quantities of ammunition II the bust
ness IL closed a large amount Il steel
will he needed TO I'LL the contract. Hol-
land Is inquiring in this market for
steel bars and billets. In all lines the
export demand for steel Is very heavy.
American manufacturers are unable TO
meet the demand for Jars and billets.
Large rail orders have been placed for
shipment abroad and new business in
this department is expected.
The improvement in domestic demand
IL progressing slowly. Some further i'm
provement has been noted in the strric-
tural steel market In the equipment
market the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
has placed an order for $50 freight cars
and 10 locomotives. The gross value OF
the contract is estimated at above ST.

Most Of the spectators who bought
Rumely common around - and the pre-
ferred around IL probably had no par
ticular idea in their minds except that
the stocks were on the 10Y N that
they could sell them out higher. The
sensational rumors that We're circulated
served the purpose of stimulating specu-
lation. but they were not necessarily
believed. But the state OF mind of per
who are still holding their stock
after these rumors have been denied is
more difficult TO understand. The only
explanation apparently is that they are
hoping against hope that the reorganiza-
ton plan will be less drastic than has
been indicated. There does not seem 10
be any real ground for these hopes. An
officer OF the company has been quoted
20 the effect that even the receipt OF war
orders would not change the situation in
this respect. Nevertheless the persist
ence of these hopes is remarkable when
the prices of the stocks is compared, FOR
instance, with a quotation OF 4ii4 bid
and Asa asked for the 8 per cent. notes
Of the company, which come ahead of
everything else. The low price Of 9 for
Rumely common yesterday compared
with a price of ~ for the new stock
when issued. The latter - the equiva-
lent Of Z for the old stock.

The Corners.

A feature OF market sentiment in the
past few days has been the development
OF a more bullish sentiment on the cop
per shares. This has been encouraged
by signs of greater speculative activity
in the principal CONNER shares. Thers
do not seem to be my definite reasons
why the copper shares should receive
special attention at this time except that
the coppers are out OF line with the rest
OF the industrial list and the steel shares
in particular, The copper industry docs
not seem to he in any stronger position
n It has been for some time past.
And yet II is ~undeniable that the copper
shares ave been bought freely. Some
OF the biggy st houses, which refused to
take on anything else because they were
out of sympathy with the market after
It's big rise, have considered the coppers
worth while, II Is reported that a largo
operator who missed tho latest squirt in
the industrial list and has been out Of
the market for some time has recently
taken on a big line of coppers
one theory in regard TO the prospect
Of better things for the copper industry
Is that the restoration OF the exchanges
will he IN important step. Great
Britain, II is said, has been curtailing
here purchases OF copper on account OF
the unfavorable exchange situation.
With copper so important an ingredient
of the war munitions trade. however, Il
is difficult to see why Great Britain
should feel the NECESSITY for economy.
II is more likely that the British con-
sumers we're O~verbought If they have
been cutting down purchases,

Two souls with but single thought,
two hearts that beat in concert, were
united in the more or less holy bonds
of matrimony, according to the point
of view, says the New York Times.
The minister who performed the cere-
mony is pastor of the Church of the
Social Revolution, and the couple were
Of his flock. Not for the contracting
parties nor for the minister the con-
ventional ritual of church and state;
not for them the Old-fashioned notion
that marriage is a step that must be
taken with with no thought of turning
backward The pair made responses
to a formula provided by the pastor
of the. Social Revolution and frankly
declare they will consider their union
binding only so long as they love
each other" Divorces are sometimes
tustifiable, but it is not believed that
this aspiring couple or their pastor
have improved upon the liberal and
usually wholesome laws of a majority
of the states.

Miss France Clyne, a smartly clad,
good looking young woman, arraigned
and held in $1,000 bail for smuggling,
this week, turns out to be a new sort

spondent of the Cincinnati Times
writes:
On her examination before the Unit
ed States commissioner she said: 81

payment of duty on the goods

Clyne has undoubtedly told the sim
pie truth about the matter. They say
