LoCO's War Orders.

The war order contract that the
American Locomotive Company is try
ing TO land was the subject of a good
many conflicting stories in Street
gossip yesterday. After the stock
marke was closed high officer of the
company was asked to tell how the
land lay. According to him, the con-
tract has not yet been signed, but il is
practically certain that the company
will get the order. With il as princi-
pals will be the New York Air Brake
and Wrestling houSe Electric companies,
but it is still to be determined what
the division will be among the three.
Discussion about what provision shall
be made for cancellation of part of the
order in case the war suddenly comes
10 an end is delaying the final award
1t is not to be thought that the profits
arising out Of the contract are any
thing like what has been estimated in
Wall Street. This officer would not dis
cuss figures. but he intimated that
SlO,000,00O OF profit was far beyond the
mark. As it stands now, the contract
provides that deliveries shall be pade
we'll into next year, fixed number Of
shells to be completed each month. II
was positively denied that the contract
had anything to do with that negotiated
with the Canadian Car and Foundry
Company a few weeks ago.

Only by the skin Of its teeth did the

market was in danger Of falling down
on a great advertisement the bond
market went beyond all expectations.
The total was close to S7,500,O0O, the

1t could hardly be said that the ap-
proval Of the issue by the stockholders
at their meeting on Tuesday was the
immediate cause of the strength and
activity Of the Central IS, because that
had everywhere been taken for granted.
What was IN evidence, however, was
an important short covering move
ment, accelerated by a bullish consbi-
nation on the floor of the exchange.

STEEL PRICES FIRMER
Equipment Orders and War
Contracts Aid Trade.

Weekly reviews of the steel In
dustry by trade publications lay mucn
stress on the Importance of the large
equipment orders of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The ammunition contracts
have also had an important influence in
trade circles. Other buying is steady
and prices for finished steel are
frmer.
"The Iron Trade Review" will say:
"Chief attention in the iron and steel
markets of the week has conferred on
the announcement of large equipment
purchases to be made by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. II the action of the
Pennsylvania system, embracing tho
largest equipment programme OF any
road in over two years, IS the lore
runner of a general movement by the
railroads, the transfer Of the steel
industry from an Indifferent to a
prosperous condition, may be brought
about at no distant date. There are
many expressions of conservatism on
the probability of active equipment
buying, though, which takes cognizance
of the large number of idle cars and
locomotives now awaiting traffic.
"Other classes Of steel buying apart
from the railroads, continue to hold
their own. The volume of foreign bust
ness, much of which has to do with
contracts for ammunition, either now
closed or pending, is large. Finished
steel prices have made further pro-
gress toward firmness in various lines.
Pig iron producers are little more
encouraged by some betterment of mis-
cellaneous buying"
"The Iron Age" says: "The Pennsyl-
vania Railroads announcement that it
is about to buy or build 1880 cars
and 1874 locomotives and the tentative
placing in this country of further large
sections of the Canadian Car &
7 Foundry Company's $S0,000,000 shrap-
mel contract have been the main con-
tributions of the week to the news OF
better business. There is also the ex-
pectation that the Pennsylvania rail
order will soon be distributed, adding
: 100000 tons or more to the 10000 tons
already placed.
There are signs that other rail.
roads are getting more alive to the low
( prices car and locomotive companies
would make just now, and the steel
trade looks for further developments
in this direction.
Actual exports of iron and steel
/ grow slowly, February showing a totaI
/ Of $4,000 tons for products reported
/ by weight, against 100000 tons in
J January. The rate of orders lately

SEE SAW TRADE
IN WHEAT PIT
Market Affected by Reports of
War Moves Against Turks
In Dardanelles.

Chicago, April 21.-Bullish effects OF
foreigners buying options to an UNI
usual extent on the delivery of wheat
here in September were sharply Offset
at times to-day by news that a land
attack was being directed against tho
Turks west of the Dardanelles and that
Italy had begun Withholding steam
ships for use in transporting troops.
The market closed unsettled at NC 20
sc net advance. Corn finished with
1sc TO CSC gain; oats, &c off 20 l-l6o
up and provisions varying from 712c
decline to rise Of a shade.
Changes in the price Of wheat had
as a whole a seesaw character from
start to finish, but with May contracts
relatively much depressed and Septem-
Der developing comparative strength.
Rains over portion of the winter crop
belt favored the bears at the outset,
and so also did word Of land move
ment against Constantinople, but the
fact soon became apparent that Euro
peans were absorbing wholesale the Of
fers in the September option, which
has been at a wide discount under July
and at an extraordinary difference be-
low May. The all around bulge that en-
sued in values here gave way in turn
to a setback, due largely TO the latest
warlike move on the part OF Italy.
In the end the wheat market was
again on the upgrade. Shorts were
covering freely, disturbed perhaps by
the export clearances OF more than
1000, 900 bushels in wheat and -four for
the day and by a cut of 100000 bush
els in Minneapolis and Duluth stocks
since Saturday, with bad weather re-
ports coming from North Dakota.
Corn swayed with wheat. Argentine
crop damage reports and active cash
demand here from the East gave tho
market some independent strength.
Rainy weather made oats easy. Be-
sides, no export sales were noted.
Provisions sagged on account of
lower prices for hogs. On the break,
however, offerings passed into strong
hands.

Copper at is Cents.

Copper metal was quoted at Is cents
a pound yesterday by one OF the big
agencies. The copper stocks were CON
spicuous in stock market trading, both
by their buoysncy in the early deal
ings and their resistance to the after
Moons decline. All of the leading
issues ended the day with fair sized
gains. 1t did not need, however, a
story that Great Britain had secured
control of the entire copper output OF
the United States to give the copper
shares their strength. 1t is fact, OF
course, that Great Britain practically
controls the exports of the metal from
this country by her embargo on ship
ments TO other ports than those OF the
Allies, and there was no action needed
to insure, in consequence, that Eng
land itself would get all the copper 1t
needed in the course of the war. what
has been helping the copper stocks as a
group more than any other thing Is
The general knowledge that consump-
ton of the metal within this country
bv companies turning out war orders
has largely increased within the last
six weeks.

FEDERAL CHECK
PLAN HAS RIVAL
Guaranty Trust to Offer Free
observation-disclosures
on Balances.

Hard upon the heels Of the Federal
Reserve Banks statement of Tuesday
there came yesterday the Guaranty
Trust Companys announcement that
it, too, would institute, for banks that
cared to join, a system Of free check
collections. Practically the only diff
ference between the trust company's
plan and that of the reserve bank is
that the former proposes to pay ? per
cent interest on funds deposited with
il 10 offset clearances and the latter
nothing.
The Guaranty Trust Company is
making its offer only to banks and
trust companies in New York State;
that is. to institutions that are not
members Of the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN. Part of the circular sent out by
it yesterday reads:
"The Guaranty Trust Company of
New York is in thorough sympathy
with the broad movement which has
for its object the perfecting Of the
banking and financial system of our
country. and believes that the Federal
Reserve act is valuable and decided
step in this direction. In its present
form. however, it is apparent that the
act does not appeal to state banks and
trust companies.
at is to be hoped that by intelligent,
constructive and united thought on the
part of those who are deeply interested
in the business and financial welfare of
our nation the act may be so amended
as to make possible a comprehensive
system which shall include all of the
banking institutions of the country.
Until such a time and in view OF the
check collection arrangement referred
70 Chat of the Federal Reserve Bank
non-member banks must adopt some
method whereby their checks may be
accepted at par anywhere"

Confidence Yet to Come.

The steel and iron industry has yet
to show an improvement that will
justify statements that the tide has
turned. 1.-THE Daily Iron Trade" for
instance, has this to say of conditions:
"The finished steel market tone ap-
peers 10 be better everywhere, but
new business, while more active, is
modest in volume" Judge Gary of the
United States Steel Corporation re-
Gently said that that company's second
quarter ought to be good and might

cheerful terms, though the profits Of
the first quarter would be small. TAX
ing all the recent utterances Of au-

gether, there is ground for hopeful
ness, but not yet for unqualified con-
fidence. One of the best sources. for
optimism is the beginning made by the
railroads in placing equipment orders.

Rock Islands Future.

Around Wall Street there was not so
much interest in the Rock Island re-
ownership az might have been expected
in view of the denunciation that \. L.
Amster gave the proceedings on Tues
day. The general idea seemed to be
that nothing better could have hap
pened to the road than receivership.
One OF the receivers. at least. IL was
noted, was strongly in favor of build
ing up the physical property of the
Rock Island. conceding that it had been
allowed to deteriorate, both as to road
bed and equipment. And as that was
the main thing TO be considered, there
was only a slight curiosity as to what
Amster and his friends might do. The
belief was widespread that there would
be an early assessment Of the stock,
probably Of $50 a share, and that a
denomination plan would be made eff
fective before the autumn.
