GOSSIP OF A R E


The action Of the stock market from
the start and throughout the day was
such AS To cause the professional and
semi-professional %speculator to walk
gingerly. II was not until late after
noon that the weakness that developed
caused him to become bearish. The
list at the opening presented a ragged
appearance. A few stocks were bid up.
while others declined. giving the I'M
preston hat some one was feeding out
stock under cover Of strength In a few
issues. Thu selling did not appear to
originate with the trading element. al
though several traders who rave the
reputation Of trading ION Information"
and who have been consistent money
makers sold stocks. A good mary
stocks, particularly Of the war brides
class. were what Is known as hard
to SELL" that IL to say. when selling
orders were sent in the market they
showed a tendency to pull away. On the
other hand. while the market was thin
for some stocks II was particularly
good Tor others. Several successfully
resisted the general weakness and closed
higher on the day. Steel common de-
clined. but the setback was of the most
orderly character. There was a demand
for the stock every eighth down, not
a single gap appearing.

Professional Nerves.

Professional Nerves.
Tho nervous feeling over the stock
market position that has expressed itself
anon tn. commission houses In a re-
duct.on Of outstanding contracts and
among the floor traders In free short
selling has also affected the attitude Of
who write papers" were quite adverse
last night to selling puts" Even In
the case OF Steel the supply was dis
tinctly scarce. Some houses that usually
sell a large amount Of options frankly
declined to sell any at all. This cond!-
ton Of affairs Is exactly opposite to that
which prevailed n week & o when calls
were scarce and puts were offered freely
very close to the market. Evidently the
confidence OF the professional element IN
tho long side Of the market has dwindled
considerably. -
Central Leather.
A reader writes to remind US thai the
previous dividend on Central Leather
common. which was So a share. was paid
OF February 1, 1915. The dividend just
declared Of 81 Is payable December 80.
1915. Therefore the common stockholders
OF the Central Leather Company will
have received 81 In dividends during the
w hSSai yCdIs AitAS y u pcitt 'hisAh
appears to have escaped genera, obeerva-
ton. The fact hat both dividends were
made within the fiscal year 1915 Is
thought to strengthen the probability
that the management Is preparing to
place the stock on n quarterly basis
early in 1916. -
The New Erie.
Keane. zayas & Potts say of Erie: :
ssTharo v-a a TINA mot an mar nv yea ~
ago when a rise or a fall In Erie
shares would be reckoned AZ due to a
gain or a loss In the quantity OF milk
brought into the city over that line.
a Mr.. +. or a Mr.. G. would observe
graveiy to his followers: Erie added ten
cans to her total his morn!ng-things
are looking up or Erie fell on fifteen
cans and st~raiyhtaway Erie common
would add a point per can or lose a
point per can. as the case might be. to
or from the market value Of the shares.
In those days Erie was a Joke. II is
different now. Erie Is no longer a streak
Of rust and a right Of way. Erie Is a
railroad. In ~trackage. roadbed. equip
ment. and particularly In management.
Il Is the peer Of many more pretentio' =
systems. For years Its shares have been
d~ividendless. For ten years AZ least this
has been because Of a policy Of putting
back into the roa for purposes OF re-
Mobilization the last possible penny OF
Its earnings. Millions W. been spent
for double tracking. more millions for
better bridges. for more and better cars
for bigger and better locomotives. and
all this without blare OF trumpets or
undue fuss or noise. To-day Er!e's ca
paci;y rating Is 100 per cent higher
than It was ten years ago. an average
improvement Of 10 per cent. n year. II
can handl. and now Is handling twice
a. much freight as It did ten years & :
it's passenger traffic has increased pro-
p~ortionate,y and 1t Is steadily and me-
thodically adding to It's facilities. . . .
