Mercantile Marine.

One Of the most interesting features OF
the market In the stocks Of the Inter-
national Mercantile Marine Company
was the strength OF the preferred issue
n the weakness of the common The
preferred sold as high AS 935s aud
closed at ??as. n gain OF IA points
over the previous close. The common.
after selling as high as o6s~. declined
10 25i.. and closed at that figure. which
was the low for the Hay and /, Of
a point below Mondays close. The turn
over In the common. 400 shares. con-
siderlng hat $500 shares of tho pre-
ferred changed hands. was a singularly
light one. There was no apparent news
to account for the strength of the pre-
ferred or the weakness OF the common
and IN view Of this there was a tendency
In the financial district to point out
that the holders OF common stock will
probably not Ice able 10 obtain any
better terms from the holders Of pre-
ferred stock In the reorganization OF the
company than have already been offered
IN them

The Reading Melon.

In brokerage house where tho recent
advance OF Reading common TO the new
high record price Of aei2 was watched
with interest there is little disposition 10
attribuate the movement as due to an in
tentiOn on the part OF the company to
distribute part OF its hidden assets' 10
the stockholders AS a melon. Close OBJ
servers OF the market in Reading base
their reasoning on the comparatively
small turnover In the second preferred
stock or the company and Its failure to
keep pace with the advance in the COM
mon. Only 200 shares OF the second
preferred changed hands last week. While
there was "A turnover Of 1920 shares
1880 shares OF Reading common We're
traded. the activity in the SECOND pre-
ferred amounted only TO 800 shares
Yesterday there were no transactions in
the second preferred and the %turnove
in the common was 21,1oo shares. Were
there any real movement on foot for
the distribution of Headings mysterious
assets. which have furnished the fodder
for so many movements in the stock, TIA"
second preferred would have certainly
responded TO the plan. The Reading COM
pany has the right TO redeem either the
frst or second prefer red at any time IN
cash at par. aud also to convert the
second preferred AT any tim" into one
half common and onc-half FIRST preferred.
The preferred and common shares IN
any Iiduidation are to share equally IN
tba dist OF assets.

Calls.

Brokers with especially GOOD connec-
lions say that many of the large opera
tors are not looking for any great up
ward movement In stocks for some time.
One big operator who has n faculty for
hitting the market right Is known to
have sold thirty day calls on 10000
shares OF stock. Most Of these calls
have been sold CLOSE TO the market.
For instance. a call on Anaconda has
been sold . per cent. away" from the
market and good for thirty days Ger
tain OF the big people are said to
have told c%onhdants that they do not
look for any early and general resutnp-
ton OF stock market strength. and that
they believe that conditions will bear

GOSSIP OF A Z
Disappointed.

disappointment was expressed yester-
day IN financial circles over the action
or the stock market. The upward move
mcnt In the general list which began
under such suspicious conditions on Mon
Day faded away early yesterday, and
Whatever activity and strength there
was in the market was centred I'm GER
tain specialties. To add to tho disap-
pointment there was n heavy profit taxi
ing movement which cut Town the gains
made by many Of the standard stocks on
Monday. Wall street found itself some
what at loss To account for the sudden
ending or the buying movement which
was SO much In evidence on Saturday
ana Monday. except on the supposition
that the shorts had been driven 10 cover
ana that investors had decided that the
prices TO which stocks had been ca fried
In the recent advance had taken them
out OF the bargain class.
In some circles reports were circulated
that brokers were meeting too much
stock IN their efforts to put prices up,
whils IN other quarters, where there was
still hope that the bull movement wouli
be continued. II was said that the re-
action was but a natural one after prices
had gone up 30 swiftly, and that those
back OF the market had only released
their grip for a moment 20 get a better
hold when they felt II was time to start
the boom again.
The turnover in the old m rkct lead
crs, however. was particularly dlsap-
pointing to those who had looked for a
continuance Of activity IN these issues.
