The coal roads were most prominent
In the advance. They had special rea-

Interstate Commerce Commission grant

date when lower rates are to start be
postponed from October | to December
I is more far reaching han 1t would
appear. II is equivalent to giving the
roads the advantage OF the higher
rates for practically the fiscal year. In
the last several months of the calendar
year the heaviest movement of coal
takes place. Here Is where large profits

coal carrying work. The advantage OF

In addition to the normal trade OF

railroads will now get an increased

to them from the coal men who have
been Withholding their shipments await

GOSSIP OF A STREET.


There was nothing wrong with yes
terday's market In the opinion of those
who are looking for higher prices. 1t
was simply a case OF resting. There
was no occasion for confusion of MIND
about the definite trend of the mar
ket because of the slight setback in
the general list In continuation of the
declines of the previous two days. As
far as the selling by Europe af-
fected the market, its influence
had perceptibly lessened. though the
assistance OF domestic selling under
the appearance of European liquidation
was present to restrict bullish sentiment.
The foreign exchange unsettlement gave
little worry to believers in the strength
Of the bull position. That whole affair
SINNERS down to whether England can
ever become bankrupt.
As few could be convinced that bank
ruptcy is even remotely probable. the
matter Of arranging the exchange situa-
ton through loans or otherwise is sim
ply a question OF time and the best
method of arranging a perfectly patent
problem. The limitation OF activity in
the war stocks on peace ak caused no
apprehension among the followers OF
those stocks that the end OF huge profits
was in sight. The possibility of peace
now was ridiculed. There was some
selling for over the holiday. A period
Of comparative quiet for a short time in
the market is natural.
