Speculate as to Attitude.
Will the spectators in the war stocks
turn to the railroad shares if the West
ern rate decision Is ldNOEdDle- 1HdI Is
hle question that is being given much
discussion by conservative brokers.
Many believe the spectators IN the war
stocks will convert their paper Profits
into cash and buy the railroads. but
the younger element in the Street does
not expect any such movement for it
claims the average speculator in war
stocks wants an element of mystery
which cannot be furnished by the rail-
roads. In the case Of the railroads, a
favorable decision would remove the un-
certainty regarding the maintenance of
dividends at the present rate.
Expectation of brokers that the stock
