Special cable to the EucninD Ledger
LONDON, Feb. l9.-The stock market
has suffered more from the approach of
war taxes here and i'm Canada than II
has gained by the fall of Erzerum and
renewed rumors of peace negotiations.
People talk gloomily of another shl-
lings to the pound addition to the income
tax, which means appropriating nearly
half the income of millionaires, quarter
Of that of men of moderate wealth.
The Premier has said the strain of the
war will be felt for n generation Ger
tainly the economic recovery after Water
loo took a full 80 years.
The Parliamentary success of Sir Wal
ter RunCiman's speech points to the pur-
suance of a policy of restricting imports
rather than seeking protection through
tariff which would excite political dis
sension and Jealousy among trade in
terests.
The strength of the bank return is en-
couraEing, but the finance loan situation
will be clearer next week, when Premier
Asquith proposes a vote of another huge
credit.
Much interest Is attached to the fact
that peace terms will be discussed in the
House of Commons next week for the
first time.
Telegrams indicate that the Scandin
avian Baltic trade difficulties are increas-
ing.

Chance That They May Receive More Than S27 q sh,.

A t0point drop in Pennsylvania Steel
common to 10 came as a result of the am
nouncement that the majority stock would
he taken over by the Bethlehem steel
Company at %. None of the common had
changed hands since Thursday, but the
fact that the outstanding shares even
yet are ruling at nearly three times the
price offered by Bethlehem looks as II
the holders proposed to stand pat in the
hope that the company will pay them a
much higher price. The alternative is
the expectation of eventually receiving
large dividends.
There are at present less than 10000
the apparent attitude of the minority in
terest IT is interesting to recall that there
are still some seven or eight shares of the
old Pennsylvania Steel stock which was
never exchanged and which Is estimated
to have market value of about $1,000
per share.
The preferred stock naturally moved
up on the definite statement that 100 and
not 90 would be paid for it. The remain

and fluctuated within narrow limits. Le-
high Valley Transit shares showed
strength. Not share of Cambria Steel

The financial district heard today that
now that the Bethlehem interests had

WHEAT LOWER;
SUPPORT SMALL
Millers' Supplies Light Abroad.
Free Selling Weakened
Oats

CHICAGO. Feb. 19.-Wheat was ner-
vous in the early dealings today and
trade was on small scale. At tho start
May ranged at S13O to S1.295s, against
SI29B at the close yesterday, and July
at S1.24B to 1924. compared with S1.237s
at the end of yesterday. After the start
May receded to Sl.299s and July to S1.235s,
both rallying a little later May closed
l3s lower and July ia off.
Support was scattered and not large
pit followed. The market at Liverpool
of No l Northern Manitoba was made
late yesterday in the English market at
7Os. 1iad This is very high price
Millers supplies are light abroad.
The receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth
today were i59 cars, against 2St cars last
year; at Winnipeg, 373 cars, compared
with 241 cars; at Chicago. t66 cars,
against 153 cars.
Foreigners showed great interest in the
small clearances from the United States
for the week. The falling off was due
mainly to inability to obtain freight
room. Corn was slow and easier. The
market at Liverpool was dull. Consump-
tion in the United Kingdom continued
light. The receipts here today were 459
cars.
oats were weak under fairly free sell
ing and little support, except from local
traders. The receipts here today were
lGJ ears.
At the end of the first half hour May

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The only feature
of the foreign exchange market was
strength in sterling, which was consid-
cred a direct reflection of the sale OF
$27, 100000 United States Steel bonds for
account of the British Government. De-
mand sterling rose TO 4,764476as and cables
to 476S94767s; francs were not particu-
larly changed, at 5.S7h for cables and
5.SS for checks. Guilders were strong at
42H for cables and 421a for checks. and
rubles held we'll at 31% and 3lB, being in
huenced by political considerations. Other
quotations were: Reichsmarks, "a 7-16 and
"A 9-16; lire cables, 6.7O4; checks, 6.70%.
Swiss cables. 5.22h; checks, 5.23 Vienna
was slight shade better, at 1905 and Is. 10.
Stockholm was steady at 2S,20 and 2S.25;
pesetas. 10 and 1905.
The feature of the close was a sudden
jump in sterling to 4.761a Oates for de-
mand and 4,77@4,77ls for cables. These
are the highest figures recorded in some
time. Francs left on unchanged at 5.S7h
for cables and 5.ss for checks Reichs-
marks were nominally 74k and "a s-16.

NEW YORK, Feb. ls.-spot interests
furnished the only significance to the
trading on the cotton exchange at the
opening this morning. One class of brok-
ers were the principal buyers of March,

was a tendency to even up accounts on
both sides of the market, because OF the
approaching holiday. The early tone was
steady, with prices to points lower.
Liverpool cables were below expecta.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

NEW YORK, Feb. lS.-There was
continuation of yesterdays selling move
ment at the opening of the coffee market
this morning and first prices were to
6 points lower
The market showed a slight further re-
action during the early operations, but
there was more aggressive bidding at
slightly under prevailing quotations,
which gave rise to the belief that the
trade still had confidence in prevailing
values. while, moreover. many operators
were inclined TO be skeptical regarding
the probability of any marked increase in
the movement OF eoffee to the United
States as a result of Brazils intention of
relieving the freight situation
