Lands in the antitrust suit against

American Press Association, the Gem
tral West Publishing Company. and

joined from underselling competitors

Motors and War, Orders.

The significant thing In the General
Motors earnings was that 1t could
double its income, already showing huge
profits, In a year OF which five months
were near panic times, wholly by reli-
ance upon domestic business. War or
ders played no part in its wonderful
prosperity. II IL easily remembered
that the first sign of awakening indus
trial life as expressed in the stock mar
ket at the beginning OF this year was
In the motor stocks, These advances
preceded even Bethlehem Steers phe-
nomenal performance. The showing OF
General Motors exceeded even the larg-
est predictions of its earning ability.
Tho success of the company, which came
out OF n condition almost OF bank
ruptcy five years ago. Is "A tribute to
the careful n conservative manage
ment set in motion by the Central
Trust Company and carried out by The
Scligman-Lee, Higginson banking con-
troll. The great Increase in the year,
arnlng Is also "A commentary ON the
fundamental prosperity Of the country.
The vogue of motor stocks has been ,s-
tablished by the report as founded on
substantial reality. Other motor stocks

milton OF their value, among them

The Little steeIs.

Each OF the minor steel stocks had It's
turn in the market yesterday, with vary
ing measure of attention. The group
consists OF Crucible. Colorado Fuel.
Lackawanna, Republic and Great North
ern Ore. Bethlehem has been graduated
into a special class. Crucible has alsp
drawn apart in some aloofness. Col
orado Fuel n Great Northern ore, as
the special favorites yesterday, i'm
mcdiotely were the cause OF the pro-
duction of an amalgamation story.
There was little need of IL. Each COM
pany has heavy backing that can he re-
lied upon TO carry weight in stimulating
speculative Imagination when general
conditions in the steel trade are. as at
present, at the height OF prosperity. The
reason for advance in Great Northern
ore has been 50 patent that It's rise,
according 20 war bride predictions, Is
long overdue. IL the war order COM
panles are really going To get paid by
the foreign Governments for their NUM-
tons the steel companies will get their
share and be able to pay ans order more
from the ore producers. And yet the
railroads. which are the next in the
chain of interests that will prosper from
Europe's war, are still waiting for their
turn

GOSSIP OF A STREET.
Familiar sigma.

II required more restraint than was
present In the market yesterday TO
hold down prices when an upward move
ment was spurred by the belief In the
approaching conclusion of the Anglo
French loan and the remarkable General
Motors report. The war stocks broke
through the barrier hat had been hold
ing prices down. The advances were
notable in stocks which had been started
upward before the sinking Of the Arabic
and had then halted. Great Northern
ore was one of these stocks. The prog
ress of the upward movement that IL
being set In motion Is curiously similar
TO the progress OF movements in the
past. The same stories of big orders
and of Encouragement OF control, com
bination and enlargement are being told
and denied In the usual way. Denial
seems only TO spur stocks on TO higher
prices, which leads again to the conclu-
sion, reached In the previous upward
campaigns, that the stories are in large
part an accompaniment. not a cause. Of
the advance. Price movement upward,
whether the stimulation Is artificial or
natural. is all that Is needed to gather
"A buying following. Yesterday. by the
rule of the last several weeks, was 4
selling day for over the week end az
well as because of the Jewish holiday.
II turned out to be the opposite.
Whether the turn In the market has
come or not the first days of next week
will show. Reports that the traders
had begun to shift position to the bull
side were met by others that they be-
lieved the bullish effect of the making
OF the loan had already been discounted.
1t was a fact. however. that a number
OF bearish traders had begun to get UNI
easy.

Followers OF tho manners and conduct
o, Crucible Steel predicted before the
market opened that there would he a dip
and a come back OF the announcement
Of no dividends. The drop was an OPP
p~ortunity. The same sor OF buying
that has showed itself persistently lately
took the stock at the decline. The af-
ternoon saw the recovery. The stock
closed 3 points above the low and at n
gain for the day. The action of Cruel
bic az present levels has added convic-
ton that there are seekers after II
whose eyes look a long way into the fu-
ture. The condition OF back dividends
still accommodating is not conducive to
buying by those looking for huge i'm
mediate returns.
