GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


Tho action Of the market for Missouri
Pacific securities, following the announce
nlent by the proxy committee, was inter
esting This statement confirmed previous
reports that the Gould control OF the
property had passed. 1t was expectations
OF this development ostensibly that sent
Missouri Pacific stock UP from 61a to
15L In few days. But the statement
also confirmed other reports that the new
interests in charge of the property are de-
ter1nined TO bring about a drastic reorgan-
lzation OF the coinpany's finances
The intimstion Is that there Will be
a heavy assessment upon the stock and
scaling down of the bonded Indebtedness.
Confronted with this situation the stock
did nothing, while the convertible IS and
forty year Is were frankly weak the
former falling from IS to II and the
latter from 47iS to - on a few sales.
But the stock, while II developed no de-
ciried trend, perhaps showed hardly less
plainly that the eood news OF the pass
ing OF the Goulds had been discounted
and that tho dominant market influence
hereafter is to be the prospect OF an
assessment
Some $4,000 shares OF Missouri Pacific
were turned over within range of LEGS
than 2 points after the violent advance
this week. A big speculative interest on
both sides of the market was built up
on the way from and extensive profit
taking by the longs was TO be expected
The correspondngly heavy buying is less
easily explained unless the market for
the stock was supported Intentionally.
Undoubtedly a stock selling at the level

ment OF possibly $40 or mora will attract
"A certain amount OF liquidation The only
bull point adganced is that this assess
ment may BE- postponed for some time

The London Position.

one view OF the present advance is that
prices will rest around this level even II
they do not react. This IL based on the
theory that our market will have TO clean
up the speculative position in London ca

ton IN London X not known. II Is also
uncertain how much OF II will actually he
liquidated when prices do reach the level
at which the broker may sell out his Gus
toner's holdings The customer has the
option OF taking them up.
The extraordinary recovery IN prices
here will undoubtedly cause many people
to change their minds about the advisa-
biiity OF selling American shares A good

have since regretted II. The London
Spectator has the benefit Of example fur

Also the part that the London market
itself is TO play may have been over
looked. Dealings are for cash in London
but it IL not impossible that the market
there may be capable OF taking care OF a
portion Of the liquidation thar does occur.
Altogether II may be found that the ap-
proach OF prices here TO the level OF the
London position will result in little more
than the dribbling selling OF foreign stocks
now going on and which our market ha.
shown its ability 10 absorb.

The bond Market.

Whatever doubts may still remain in
the minds OF some people about the
foundation for the current rise in stocks
these can hardly be felt about the bond
market. There is no possibility OF artih-
cal stimulation here. II Is a big, broad
market based on a constantly growing
Investment demand. While 1t may have
appeared as II tho stock market had
shown tho bond market tho way, the re-
verse In really the case.
AS far back as last November, when
the stock market appeared hopeless. bond
dealers noted a perceptible Improvement
in tho market for bonds. The demand
was first for short term securities of the
best class Later II was found that high
grade long term bonds could be sold At
the present time tho market has as
Eumed breadth and activity. Even sec
ond grade securities are absorbed read
ily
The development OF this demand is as
crbed to the enormous amount OF in
vestment capital that had accumulated
during the suspension OF financial bust
ness in tho fall. and which had indeed
been accommodating for months or even
years previously. combined with tho ease
OF money. The buying demand is OK
pected to continue: nothing can now be
seen to stop It. Apparently the principal
factor behind II 10 that tho economic
waste of capital In war Is 20 be offset by
the diversion OF an immense amount OF
capital into old securities that would nor
mally go into new enterprises.

Our Munition Problem.
From the Syracuse Post-standard.

From the syracuse Post-Stanoafu
The question of what the United
States would do for munitions If COM
PEELED to go to war is a question Of
great Importance, not to be answered
offhand in the usual easy-going Amer
lean way. All the machinery in this
country which is capable Of turning
out munitions is now. or might be II
its owners desired. producing them at
an unprecedented rate. It has been
suggested by a bank president in
Wheeling that every machine or de-
vice in the hands of our manufacturers
now engaged in the manufacture of
ammunition or implements of war
should when the present demand is
past be stored in charge of the gov
eminent for instant use when our turn
comes.
This rather hysterical suggestion is
adequately answered by trade Jour-
nal of the steel industry which briefly
remarks that such machinery would
Immediately become antiquated: and
Furthermore that the organization of
men to operate the machinery must be
