Market Still Is Anxious,
But Rec0verieS Are Made

NEW YORK. April oS-Traces of the
anxiety which exercised such a depress-
ing influence over the operations of the
preceding period were not lacking this
week. but the market recovered much lost
ground. Specialties. that description
necessarily applying to the war group, re-
gained ) to 10 points. but the feature of
the entire list was the international mer-
camille marine issues. especially the pre-
ferred stock. which rose from "A to 81
on change of control and imminent set
tlement of its long existing legal diff
culties
Another important factor in the rise
perhaps the most potent. was the broad
demand for rails, especially the recog-
nized dividend payers. after protracted
spell of inactivity. March statements of
earnings. some of which were marvellous
FOR their gains. helped to swell the inquiry
for these shares. Another helpful feature
was the action of the Norfolk and West
ern directors in declaring increased and
extra dividends on that stock
Discouraging to Spectators.
There was. of course. only one opinion
regarding the splendid statement of the
United States Steel Corporation for the
first quarter Of the year. but the de-
cision Of the directors to make no addi-
tional disbursement on the common stock
was discouraging to speculative interests
and gave the trading element an excuse
for further selling. Steel was under
obvious restraint. but its comparative
backwardness was attributed mainly to
the belief that prominent banking inter
ests had taken over a large amount Of
stock from foreign holders
II was partly the fear of further Euro
peAn liquidation that caused railway
shares 10 yield measure of their ad-
vantage toward the close of the week
The foreign situation. particularly the
irish instruction and more complex con-
ditions in Mexico, casioned fresh eau

Shipments Being Refused.

The action of the British admiralty.
in requisitioning cargo space in
steamers operating between various
American and English seaports. has
greatly interfered with private trade
between the two countries. The re-
suit has been a great deal OF tonnage
left on the hands of the steamship
companies. so that some lines refuse
even to book any further business
until the present congestion is cleared
up.
Less attention than il deserved has
been attracted by the recent state
ment of Controller Williams to the ef-
feet that the national banks of the
country could extend credit to the ex-
tent of $3.oO0.O00.0O0 or s4.000.000.0o
should business conditions of the
country require it. That this is a vast
sum is of less moment than the con-
sideration that the aggregate is not SO
great as it would have seemed two
years ago. The United States is be-
coming accustomed to large aggre-
gates. and very likely. in the not dis
tant future. ordinary amounts like
SO, ,OO0. .00o, 900 or $4,000. 100000 will come
to be regarded as an everyday matter.

Big Orders Are Refused.

The rail mills. however, refused con-
tracts for 300. 900 tons of heavy sec
tons Offered by the transportation
compa nies. On the other hand. several
railroads refused 20 place orders be-
cause OF the premiums demanded for
next years shipment, consequently the
fun tonnage placed In April fell short
Of 100000 tons by 5000 tons. In the
last two months the buying of rails of
all sorts and kinds has amounted to
1913. 900 tons. after making due allow
ance for duplication Of orders
Other railroad equipment orders
placed during the last week of April
were unusually small. including 500
cars. 36 locomotives and 1000 tons of
structural work. Buying of track ac-
cessories was heavy, keeping pace with
the enormous tonnage of rails pur-
chased.

Credit May Be Required.

In view of what is here said il may
be asked If there is any Likelihood that
the unused volume of credit possessed
by the banks will be called into serv-
ice. To this query it may he answered
that this is quite possible. American
and commercial inter-
ests are impatient to enter the great
field now opening up before them
They see what can be done in South
America, Asia, Australia and Africa
and know that as soon as the war fs
over Europe will be added to the field
of American enterprise
Will there be danger in such credit
expansion? Not If ii is made in the
right way and under proper conditions.
The expansion must not be too rapid,
nd must be made in accordance with
the legitimate demands Of business.
Loans must not be made on insecure
ventures as to the result of which
there are serious doubts. 1t is incum-
bent upon both borrowers and lenders
to have care as to what they do,
and to refrain from ill-considered and
hasty procedure.

SENATE AUTHORIZES
HE'LL GATE CHANNEL
Removal of Rocks Will Allow
Battleships to Use Sound.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, July 13.-A channel
thirty-hve feet deep. through He'll Gate
from Long Island Sound to the Brook
lyn navy yard, was authorized in an
amendment to the naval appropriation
bill adopted by the Senate to-day. The
amendment was offered by Senator
O'Gorman and was included in the bill
without opposition.
THE Brooklyn navy yard is located
between the Manhattan and Williams
burg bridges explained Senator
O'Gorman. "In the event of the de-
struction Of either the Manhattan or
old Brooklyn bridges, the ships in the
navy yard would be bottled up, as they
cannot now safely pass through Hell
Gate and out through Long Island
Sound. This amendment is designed to
authorize and inaugurate the removal
of the rocks at He'll Gate, and Will
establish a continuous 35-foot channel
from the Upper Bay to Long Island
Sound. II will give two means OF in
gress to and egress from the navy yard
for the largest ships of the navy, and,
moreover, will necessitate twice the
number of enemy ships in order sue
cessfully TO blockade the port of New
York"
The amendment provides for the ex-
penditure of s500,000 this fiscal year
and for q total expenditure of Sl,04l,-
