FOR WAR STOCKS

Wall Street.

Allis-Chalmers in Good Demand.
but Drop Is Expected.
TAKE LOAN FOR GRANTED

New York Sept 15.-Today's stock mar
ket was a duplication of the previous
session, the war stocks and specialties
mOnopolizinG the attention with new
high records. Bethlehem Steel and
Crucible Steel were most prominent The
balance of the list displayed a waiting
attitude. pending the consummation OF
the huge war loan.
Veteran traders. however. have taken
time by the foreloCk and made long
commitments on the basis that the loan
will be a success and the expectation
based on past events that there Will be
a Film in the general list when formal
announcement is made of its success.
AS the loan will give added impetus to
our export trade and promises addi-
tional orders for munitions the general
market is expected to reflect this i'm
provement.
Big Demand in Morning.
Overnight developments being favor
able. the market opened strong, with
new high prices for Bethlehem Steel.
Cruclble Steel. and Industrial Alcohol.
Allis-C Chalmers also was In good demand.
Further improvement was made during
the first hour, but buying orders di-
minished before moor and prices re-
ceded Aside from the war issues and
specalties. the list marked time during
the balance of the session.
Erie stocks and bonds continued in
good demand and the buying represented
accumulation that has been going on
for at least three weeks. While rumors
are current of the resumption of divi-
dends the first preferred in the i'm
mediate future, these are not taken
seriously by persons who have been pur-
chasing the shares and are familiar
with the views of the insiders.
HALLWAY Stocks Heavy
Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific was
heavy. owing to uncertainty regarding
the payment of the interest of the de-
bentures. While it has been declared
that the money has been raised. Il has
not been deposited with the First Ma
tOnal Bank. which pays the interest
The delay, however, is believed to be
due to the physical work of issuing the
receivers certificates and placing them
with the people who have promised to
purchase them. and thus supply the
funds needed for the interest.
Owing to the vigorous advance Of the
war stocks one prominent odd-lot house
is refusing to take orders for the pur-
chase of Bethlehem Steel, Crucible Steel
and the high-priced motor stocks. except
for cash. At the same time. large COM
mission houses are accepting orders in
these stocks only from old customers.
and then insisting on margins ranging
from u TO 20 points. This amply reflects
the apprehension entertained by most
brokers regarding a sudden drop in the
shares. These brokers say the war stocks
lit, Bethlehem and Crucible will prob
a'lv 90 higher, but they say they want

occur.

He felt good because 1t was the kind OF

for death. The food of the white man
had driven the evil spirits out!
When the Indian had rested the white
man said, Get up, One Strike, take
your blankets and como along home
with us. A night by the fire will set
you about right"
One Strike arose, but he noticed the
gray horse that was slain near by and
grunted in wonder and anger.
After a night in his blankets before
the white mans fire and a good break
fast, One Strike decided to return and
tell his people of the wonders and po-
tencies of the white mans medicines.
Also. he would know about the horses.
Gray Eagle who spoke. and he stood in
front of his tepee, watching the sun
rise. And this is the day to go to the
post and trade. Go, he called to Four
Bears. who was always lingering with
in earshot. Bring the spotted pony and

spotted pony for packhorse coming

Jim fastened to obey, and the chief
turned back into his lodge to prepare
himself for the trip.
Suddenly an uproar was heard in the
camp Gray Eagle hastened to the door.
The sight that met his gaze filed him
with fear There. coming toward him,

Gray Eagle, for the two ever had been

receive welcome. But Gray Eagle,
with ashen face, scooped the silver dol
lars from his beaded buckskin pouch
and flung them at the old mans feet.
Then he followed the rest of the tribe
to the forest as fast as he could go
At this moment Jim arrived with the
his mouth to speak. but Jim had van
ished. For an instant the forlorn old
man stood in the midst of the deserted
village. Then he noticed the money at
his feet, the bay horse just brought up
from Gray Eagles pasture and remem-
bered the old gray slain In the forest
A smile wrinkled his shrewd old face
as he said to himself: Gray Eagle

Stopping down, One Strike raked up

from the village where the laws of his
fathers had been so shamefully trans
gressed.
Near nightfall the tribe ventured to
return one by one and in groups to
their tepees. Jim went to the tepee of
Gray Eagle to talk over this unheard-
of thing that had happened. He was
met at the doorway of the chief. whose
eyes were swapping as he brushed the

hawk.
