New York RepOrt,

The following analysis of the New York
Market was wired to w. B. HIggs & Com
pany here by a correspondent:
New York. Aug. 16.-The course of trad
ing yesterday reflected that in market
quarters railroad strike talk was not
seriously considered and that basic fac
tors such as the position OF steel and cop
per trade, big earnings of motor COM
panies, prospects of heavy railroad traf-
fc from all lines OF industry, outside OF
reduced crops, big profits in munitlon
companies, then again, many believe the
British loan will stop the foreign llquida-
ton OF American securities heretofore
seen. All helped a market which at any
other time might have been seriously af-
fected by the fears of a strike which
would tie up business of the country. The
press opinions are along lines of higher
prices with only the railroads strike con-
troversy as still matter of market hest
tation and Washington news regarding
same Is being watched with considerable
interest.

BRITISH LOAN
BOOSTS SALES
Steel Common Reaches High
Mark-Whole List Shows
Activity.

New York, Aug. 16.-Oficial announce
ment of the British loan was a signal for
another demonstration OF optimism in
Wall Street today. Seeel common sold
at the highest price on record with the
exception of 1909. The whole list was
active and many stocks were dealt in
that have not appeared for weeks.
The feature of the British loan that
pleases Wall Street so much is that It
is made on a strictly business basis and
that American securities to the extent
Of 800 10000 are put up as collateral.
The other collateral consists of 800 900, 900
of Canadian securities and an equal
amount Of the securities Of neutral coun-
tries. Government loans are not consid-
cred as strictly high grade investments,
because there is no power that can force
a collection. This loan. however. can
be collected, regardless of the govern
ment making II.
$3.50. COO COO TO be raised through this loan
will be expended in America for NUM-
tons Of war. Naturally the Steel cor
poration will share heavily in the bust
ness, and that was one reason the stock
advanced today. Mercantile marine, be-
ing closely allied with the bankers who
are financing the allies. will get most
Of the traffic.
Advance of the Carbureter stock on
the curb. the StrOmberg, was akin to the
advance on the rubber and tire shares.
No matter what the make of automo-
bile. there must be Carbureters and tires.
Gasoline was reduced in price again and
Mr. Ford announced his intention TO build
a million cars next year. There are
about 2.5OO.0OO cars in operation now.

CHICAGO CRAZE MARKET.

be Obliged TO ray his price.
Wheat Is wanted and wanted badly and those
who stand ready 70 buy it more than anxious
to meet the view Of the holders The big
portsrs who want millions Of bushels are unable
to secure the grain because Of the fact that
mirTs continue To advance the premium for the
cash article over the futures.
Wheat cIo7ed at losses Of = 10 II. today. These
declines followed a market of great breadth with
active and continued price changes ForeisnTs
bought here and elsewhere we'll. Their cash
purchases amounted to 10000 bushels including
20 O6O bushels at Chicago.
Crop reports were more discouragtns than at
any previous time.
Coarse grains failed IN hold the highest prices
reached. There was heavy selling Of both corn
and oats and as the day away buyers backed
