RUMOR OF loan
BOOSTS Buying
Report that Morgan & Co.
Expects to Get Money for
Allies Starts Action.
WAR NEWS BIG FACTOR
Wall Street Has Conflict on with Ger
many. Declares Peace. Then Starts
Battling with Mexico.

New York. March 27.-Report was cur
rent in high banking quarters late today
that a large loan for the allies had been
arranged for by Morgan & Co, AUeri-
can railroad stocks to be used as eol-
lateral Il
This report was denied. but it IVES re-
sponsible for heavy buying Of stocks in
the last hour.
The recovery started with aggressive
buying Of Union Pacific by on 7 house
that has been a leader in substantial
market moves ever since the war began.
Wall Street had another war with
Germany today that lasted nearly half
the session. Peace with Germany was
then declared, and war was declared on
Mexico. The bears were taxed heavily
for the cost of both of these wars.
In the morning reports were numerous
OF the sinking Of ships by Germany and
the killing Of Americans. The result
was that all thoughts Of peace in Eu
rope were abandoned and the profess
iOnals felt that it was the proper thing
10 do to become very nervous and sell
stocks heavily.
The market declined from one to three
points, and in some cases four points
from Saturdays prices.
stocks Begin to Rise
Before the bears had an opportunity
to cover denials were published of the
death of many American citizens on
torpedoed ships, and a report came from
Mexico that Carranza soldiers had let
Villa escap pc. Nobody took time to con-
firm this report. and stocks Immediately
began to rise. Then came the report OF
the big new loan.
Much Of the business IN oil stocks to-
day consisted OF hedging operations by
owners Of automobiles who are buying
stocks against their own consumption of
gasoline. The list was scrutiniZed for
issues that have not discounted the ad-
vance of gasoline
One of the most important stock ex-
change houses specializing in oil issues
selected AnglO-AmeriCan Oil for its Gus
toners because It can be purchased on
an investment basis of So per cent
against As per cent to 5 per cent in the
case Of most Of the other issues.
Prospects Of an advance in this issue
are believed to be good because the COM
pany, by reason of the closing of the
Gslician and Asiatic oil fields to the
English market is furnishing the bulk
Of gasoline and petroleum products for
United Kingdom.
Raw sugar was not offered under 7-Sc

Streets Attitude Is Expectapt

Summarizing the action OF the New
York list yesterday, Logan & Bryan
wired Hibbs & Co. here as follows:
After much irregularity during the
forenoon as a consequence of an accu-
mutation of selling orders over the week
end, resulting from political uncertain
ties, the list turned strong in the later
dealings on scattered short covering
without there being anything in the
shape OF news to account for the re-
versal of form.
Strong market interests are apathetic
and do not seem disposed to encourage
pronounced activity in the security mar
ket until the outlook is somewhat more
assuring.
THE fear is entertained that some un-
toward experience in Mexico is likely
to occur over night and temporarily up
set the equilibrium OF existing order of
things. and consequently much restraint
is in evidence.
Then, too, the submarine question is
one which is still very inconclusive. so
that the sinking of ships always agi-
tates the question as to whether or not
a torpedo rather than a mine was the
cause.
Tn view of the foregoing it perhaps
will be the part of wisdom to assume
scalping attitude. as fluctuations seem
likely to be restricted until occurrences
force the list out of the rut in which
it has fuctuated for some time"

Automobile owners who are worrying
over the high C ost of gasolene may cheer
up. A concern with ample capital has
bought the secret of the fellow who puts
few drops of green mixture into a
gallon of water, the whole costing cent
and half, and then runs the car as far
on the gallon as an equal amount of gas
oline would. Also comes a Georgian
who has invented process wherein by
mixing crude or fuel oil from which the
gasolene properties have already been
taken with kerosene from rs to 90 per
cent gasolene may be recovered. There
is said to be ample capital back of this,
too. Cheaper fuel for motors is bound
to come, and those who contemplate buy
ing autos need not hesitate on this ac-
count.-Vergennes Vermonter.
