GOSSIP OF WALL 4 z

Rumors were current In the fnascial
district yesterday that a bullish demon
stration would be made in Steel on Mon
day by a prominent Progressive. notwith-
standing the crisis in the relations be-
tween Mexico and the United States.
I. was said that the movement was
slated to accompany the expected an
nouncement Of Col. Roosevelt on Mon
day that he would support Charles r.
Hughes as the Republican candidate for
the Presidency and advocate that the
Progressive party give it's votes to Mr..
Hughes. II was recalled yesterday that
during the past week. when declines In
security prices were the rule rather
the exception, Steel manifested
great frmress. Every time II went
below 50 II came back like n rub

spite OF the fact that the junior is the
larger issi" and cannot receive dividends
until after the payment OF 4 per cent
on th" senior issue. The Odd Lot Re-
ticU says; THE explanation evidently
lies in the privilege ;hc has OF
converting the second preferred into

II this privilege should I've exercised the

shares OF the first preferred would sin

Banks SELLING Bonds.

A large part Of the slowing down In
Investment buying In said tn be due to
the fact that many of the banks which
were heavy buyers OF bonds have become
sellers or have dropped out of the mar
ket for the time being. The cessation Of
bond buying by many OF the banks r.
said to be due 10 the tightening OF the
money market and the fac, that some
banks feel that they will be able 20 get
more 10y making loans.than through in
Nestments in bonds paying only a small
interest rate. IN SOME circles this Is
taken az an indication that we are abou.
TO experience a period OF dearer money.
Many OF the banks. however. have big
pro'its on bonds that were purchased at
much lower prices and II is only natural
that they should become sellers and wal,
for "A recession IN prices. A review Of
IN" statements OF the banks and trust
In response to the various calls

In spite OF considerable irreguiarl,y
there was n somewhat better tone I'm the

week has been one Of heavy declines.

issues. and II is certain that some
stocks that were ~ovcrbought nj the be

are now oversold, As "A result there was
somewhat or an evening up process yes
terday. Many SPECTATORS who have con-
hdently believed that there would he a
bad break In the market with the dec
larltion OF war between the United
states n Mexico are now changing
their minds. their reason for this shift
being due To the stability shown by the
standard stocks. such AS Steel and the
rails. and the fact that Il is an open
secret that not only Is there a big short
interest IN the market but there are buy

showed more firmness, and the behavior

The bond market was quiet. though
there was some selling. Many Of the

Little ~LiQuSdas1on.

There was little slsn Of real liquidation
In yesterdays market. The greater part
OF the selling came from traders or from
persons whose margin accounts had be-
come weakened n who did not care
TO further protect their accounts. This
was evident from the beha vior OF the
standard Industrial stocks. like Steel, and
from the action Of the rails. THROUGH
out the week Of declines these stocks
nave held well. their losses. with the
exception Of Reading and Lehigh Valley,
two stocks that rave recently been
boosted by pool operations. being CON-
fined largely to fractions. In conserva-
tive brokerage houses II was said yester-
day that there were many buying or.
ders under the market to b. executed
on the break In prices which many peo-
pie believe will accompany the declara-
ton OF war with Mexico. The fact that
so many orders rave been put In below
the market Is one OF the best guarantees
that no serious break will occur. More
over. II was said yesterday that interests
connected with two prominent banking
institutions had decided that the decline
had gone abou; far enough and had rom
m'tted themselves on the long side.

YOUNG FOLKS CORNER
Fairy Sponges.

Sometimes on a sunny day
When there are no clouds in sight
The sky appears a dull smoke gray
Instead Of blue and bright.
But even while we look and sigh
And long for the lovely blue
Come fairy messengers from afar
And quickly change its hue.
Up in the dull and dusty blue
Wind fairies gather on high,
And with the big, damp, spongelike clouds
They wash and polish the sky.
They push and hurry the shining clouds.
And when we look next day
The busy little wind fairies
Have taken them all away.
But they've left our giant outdoor roof
AS blue as fairy's eyes,
For fairy sponge is the only thing
To properly clean the skies.
