Stock Markets "SOld Out
Condition" Chief Talk
of the Traders.
CAPITOL SITUATION
THOUGHT IMPROVING
New York Central Lines Show a
January Gain in Net of
Over $50 Per Cent.

There was almost more talk about
the sold out condition OF the mar
ket," after the close Yesterday. than
about any two other things, not except
ing the Presidents note TO the Rules
Committee of the House and the re
ported torpedo;ng Of British merchant
vessels. Verdun likewise figured IN
the discussions. but after the publ
cation, around noon, Of the French and
German official communicates it was
temporarily relegated 20 the back
ground. Dispatches from Washington
during tho day seemed 20 make l. PLAIN
that Congress had said TO the Pres
ident. like Davy trockett's coon,
"Don't shoot: we'll come down and as
a result there was an easier feeling all
around, once the market had got
through with its liquidation. What
the next move was, nobody seemed TO
know. unless there was 10 be all IN
terminable correspondence with Ger
many over the definition OF defensive
armament. There was a good deal OF
talk about the nations sitting over an
open powder barrel with lighted
match in its hand, but no one seemed
TO put much faith in the reports that
a demand for the recall Of Ambassador
Won Bernstortf was imminent.

Improved Market Position.

Underlying bullishness was corspic-
uous in the brokerage houses always,
however. conditioned on further I'M
provement in the situation between
Germany and this country. And that
was looked for on the old theory that
neither nation wanted war and so
every means would be used to prevent
a break. The possibilities opened up
by the Teuton refusal TO postpone the
date OF the "new" campaign against
armed merchant vessels Of the Allies
were only lightly touched upon, so en-
crossed was the Street with the better
ment within the market When they
we're spoken OF. II was usually with
the comment that If the sinking Of the
Lusitania could not cause war II would
be hard TO picture any incident that
would. And at the worst. it was said,
the market had hardly been in a bet
ter position at any time since the
stock Exchange reopened last year 10
withstand a shock.

\ Bill of Health

For a time yesterday the market
looked sick enough TO satisfy the most
excited reader of the mornings news.
What support may have been afforded
to il was not so obvious but that IL
escaped a good many OF the tape read
ors. Up to about noon: in fact, there
seemed TO be nothing but continuous
liquidation. fastened from time 70 time
as stop-loss orders were reached and
uncovered. The luncheon hour gave
it pause. but even when stocks grew
quiet. after small rally. there was
apprehension of a new decline. When
it became apparent, in the ensuing
drive. that little real stock was coming
out, and the shorts accepted the hint
and began 70 cover, there was great
deal Of satisfaction auHnc the bulls.
They had not expected on scccb day
10 get what they regarded as - certi-
flcatc of health for their market.

Sales of americans

There were again reports from Lon
don yesterday that the supply OF Amer
lean securities available for sale here
was practically exhausted. The news
was too good TO be true, though II IS
believed in the financial district here
that the receipts Of these securities
by the British Treasury have scasibly
lessened. There is nothing but cir
cumstantial evidence TO warrant such
d belief, the Chancellor Of the EN-
chequer having declined, in the House
OF Commons, TO make any statement
relative 10 the amount OF securities in
the possession Of the British Treasury,
on the ground that it would be against
public policy. One of the things that
provoke the suspicion OF diminish
ing supply of Americans" is the
urgency OF the appeals that have been
made in England for the deposit Of our
stocks and bonds with the Treasury.
Another is that for some time pas
offerings from abroad OH this market
have seemed 10 be extremely limited.
