 STOCK MARKET
.~~~~O~

New York, Sept. 12-The market opened with numerous gains at 1 to 3 points and several new records, in cluding United States Steel at 1O5 as and Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies at s5H. International Paper Common and preferred rose 1s and 2 points, respectively, with gains of point or more in various metals and marked activity in Anaconda. Bethfehem Steel featured the high priced indus trials with a gain of 2 points. Rails shared only slightly in the movement, but gathered strength later with the leaders, Union Pacific, St. Paul, Read ing and Central.
 Noon-Almost half a million shares changed hands in the first hour, With a continuance of the furious activity up to midday. Steel. which extended it's early high record, American Smelt- ing, at an extreme gain Of 5 polnts' Marines, which were distinctly reac- tionary, and a score of less prominent issues, contributed to the movement which taxed the machinery of the ex- change. Rails later fell away with other standard stocks on tremendous realizing. Striking gains of the fore noon included 21a points for Bethle- hem Steel, 10 for General Motors for International Paper pfd., and to points for Petroleum, Pacific Mail and eouipments. One to two points recessions occurred at noon. Bonds were firm.

AUTOMOBILE STOCKS.

One of the financial crazes of the period is investment in automobile stocks. The more successful compan- ies are making millions. Many small investor is tempted to draw savings out of the bank, where they are now earning an inglorious four per cent, and takeAa "fier."
 Rut like the warymunition business. it,s a. case in which fools rush in where angels fear to tread. The big dividends suggest that the price of motor cars has not yet reached hard pan. It is the universal rule in busi- ness that big profits can not continue indefinitely. Large gains stimulate comnetition. The cream has been taken off. Those who went in early have grown fat. Those that go in now may fare on skim milk.
 There is a rush of new concerns in +o tho business. It has been a golden field. Ambitious foremen and super fntendents are looking for capitalists to finance their ideas Capitalists are looking for chances to invest. Many new companies will be formed to struggle for the spoil
 Heretofore a car two or three years old lacked some features of the late machines that seemed absolutely vii tai Now the new cars seem about perfect. It is hard to see how they can be much behind the game even in five years.
 This should lead people having a well made car to hold on to it longer. The extravaganza of constant trading off machines for the latest models will become apparent. As prices fall reopIe of moderate means buy the machines. They purchase with the rurpose of keeping their cars for a number of years. The demand creat- ed by the incessant rush for the lat est models will fall off.
 With new competition, less frequent changes of cars. and closer prices, it seems as if the business, as far as profit goes, had passed the high point of success. Those who buy motor stocks now should think of these ten dencies.

of Finance finance

which in turn induces continued heavy exports, huge trade balances, gold imports and further credits, loans or bond issues. For another year at least, New York promises to be the only free money market in the world, and~this means a further pro- longation of financial, industrial and commercial activity. increased to still higher degree by an enormous gold supply and the new banking sys-' tenn, both of which have permitted huge but sound expansion of credit. Beyond question, the war is impress ing its effects upon this country more and more as time progresses, and in 11ation must continue until credit con- traction is enforced; either through exhaustion or the close of the war, which would permit Europe to recall portion of it's gold. For the time being the war is quite powerful enough to offset an unsatisfactory harvest, a disturbed labor situation, a threatening political campaign and a flood of anxieties which concern the managers of big business. There are quite enough problems awaiting so- lution to sober unreasoning enthusi- asm; nevertheless, the general busi- ness outlook is promising, credit Is sound and confidence in the future is undisturbed.
 On the Stock Exchange there has been strong outbreak of bullish ac- tivity, based of course upon condi- tions noted above and backed by very powerful leadership in a few issues, notably United States Steel and Mer- cantile Marine. It must also be noted that the public buying of stocks has been greatly reinforced by an influen tial and new class of buyers; namely. those who have made large profits as result of the war. The investment buying of this class has been a factor of considerable importance, having maeriaMy 1essened the supply of de- sirable issues, and being also a strong factor in the present speculative movement. There was much enthu- siasm on the advance and some shares have risen to point where profit talk ing on an increasing scale must be ex- pected. Congress has closed, and the
 next session will be a brief one, end ing March 4, during which no import ant legislation is likely to be attempt ed. The Presidential campaign will undoubtedly be more intense than an- ticipated few weeks ago. and a free popular discussion on many of the new issues agitating the public mind
 will undoubtedly be a striking feature. Such discussion will at least serve the purpose of clarifying the political at
 mosphere and facilitating a better judgment of the trend of public opin- ion for the next four years. Specula- tive interest centers chiefly upon the | industrials owing to their sustained profits and the probability of their
 benefiting by pro1ongation of the war.
 The railroads are enjoying big traffic,
 often taxing their facilities to the ut most, consequently reports of current
 earnings are very satisfactory.

LOCAL JITNEYS GONE
 TO NEW YORK TO TAKE
 UP WORK OF TROLLEYS

A conspicuous decrease in the jitney service of Bridgeport is declared by many of the local drivers to be due to large hacking" fees that have of- fered in New York city as the result of the present car line strike.
 While 'jitneying" Is not possible un- der present New York conditions, it is said that large majority of the drivers of cars formerly running on Bridgeport streets are holders of New York automobile operators licenses.
 They have taken their cars and buses to New York and are engaged in carrying to work the help of vari- ous factories who would otherwise be handicapped in the morning and noon arrival of labor.

(Clew's Weekly Letter.)

The financial markets show re-
 aarkable resisting power against ad- verse news. Neither the threatened
 strike of the railroads nor the at tempted tie-up of transportation in New York city exerted any noticeable effect upon the Stock Exchange. The concessions demanded by railroad la Dor created surprisingly little alarm, tprobably because ofta belief that pres ent trade activity would largely com lpensate the railroads for increased outlaws and that net earnings, though diminished, would not seriously suffer In the case of the railroads, it was noted that the ,new arrangements for an eight-hour law did not go into effect until Jan. 1; that its effect was to be studied by the government, and that if really injurious to the railroads the Interstate Commerce Commission
 might be induced to grant them an advance in rates as compensatlon. Further, the constitutionality of the new law Is toAbe tested before the Su- preme Court, whose decision will be
 watched with widespread interest.
 General business has slowed down
 somewhat, bank clearings now run ming only about 20 per cent. ahead of
 last year, as against 40 and 50 per cent. ahead asfew weeks ago. Never
 theAsss, trade has been more active
 than usual at this season; and, as summer draws to close, all indica- tions point to an active fall trade. A most important factor in this connec- ton is the immensely Increased pur- chasing abilities of the masses, re- sulting from the Active employment of many classes of labor at unusually
 high wages, particularly those en-
 gagged in the making or handling of munitions. The war, the stqppage of
 emigration and the great demand for
 hands in many plants have created a serious scarcity of labor; the result
 being that labor as a class Is unpre- cedentedly prosperous and inclined to spend freely and demand still higher
 wages. The strikes of today are in
 cited by prosperity and not by wage reductions; they are a part of the 1 general infatinary movement which is spreading over the whole world.
 and which has apparently not yet run 1 its full course. One of the results of 1 the war has been to immensely stimu-
 late the industrial activity that would
 in any event have developed in this coun4ry, though in a much less de- :. gree. This war stimulus will extend
 for some time yet, some authorities | saying the war will last for another
 year at least. The progress of the
 Allies is exceedingly formidable, but 1 slow; and the resisting powers of the Central Powers are doubtless much greater than commonly supposed; as
 the Allies progress. the more desper- ate the resistance they will have to
 encounter. The managers of our in sdustrial plants are. therefore. calcu-
 lating upon a continuance of this all- powerful stimulus of war orders,
