Steel Shares Blaze
way IN WALL Street
Ten thousand Sell at l28-Market
i: Keeps Up Well.
By the International News seryice.)

CBy the International News seryice.)
New York Nov. 9.-Considering the
. shake-out of the day before, the holiday
stocks did remarkably well in Wall
Street today. he'opening was irregular,
but soon great strength developed under
leadership Of steel. of which 1000 shares
sold at Us In the afternoon irregularity
developed again and the close was not
materially different from that Of the
previous day.
Bears were determined to get the mar
ket lower and as part Of their program
they circulated peace rumors. They in
ttmated that If the banks are not to be
permitted to buy short-term notes the
allies will have to quit buying in Amer
lea Veteran market observers are Of
the opinion that II the bears have moth
ing better to offer they must be in, a pre-
cartous situation. Everybody knows that
the allies have billions of securities with
which to back any American loans they
may desire and everybody also knows
that even an unsecured loan would go
well What the real investors Of Amer
lea want Is the deposit as collateral
against the bond issues of about a billion
dollars Of the high-grade securities that
are being held back.
1t was reported today that orders are
being extended well into 1918 for NUM-
lions. Perhaps ii was the decline in
Bethlehem Steel that encouraged the
peace rumors. Insiders of Bethlehem
Steel are glad to see the break for they
think the stock Is on the bargain coun-
ter at anything like current prices.
Peace talk was inconsistent with the
announcement that submarine warfare
was becoming so active that marine mn
surance rates, which were from to 6
per cent a few days ago, had advanced
to from TO 10 per cent Grain and cot
ton were steadier. All evidence pointed
to the fact that Tuesdays market was
nothing but an old-fashioned raid on the
public
p During the brief time today when val
ues were being considered again. atten-
ton was called to the placing of orders
for 10000 tons more of rails for 1918 de-
livery. 1t is estimated that fully 10000
tons have already been so placed and
that 10000 tons more are about ready to
be placed
Basic iron ore sold today for $50 a ton.
which is the highest price it has touched
since 1874. Bessemer sold at sS3 and a
sale of low phosphorous was reported
at $50,
Naturally the steel stocks were strong
for most of the big companies produce
their own pig iron.
