STOCK TUMBLE LEFOLLOWS
RUMOR OF Rail STRIKE
Wall Street Believes Invasion of U. S.
Would Be Less Disastrous
Than Walk-0ut.
By the International New. serrice.)

CBy the international News Service.) }
New York, Aug. 25.-Just before the
stock market closed today 1t looked as
though the railroad presidents and their
employees intended to join in making
war on the people of the United States.
Invasion by a foreign army would be
less dangerous than a railroad strike,
and for the first time since the dispute
has arisen it looked as though there
might possibly be a strike.
COOl-headed finanCiers persisted in the
belief that it was blufing on both sides,
but admitted that it was a very superior
quality of bluffing. Everybody in Wall
Street is angry at President Wilson for
what they consider mis- dictatorial pro-
cedure in the matter
So the stock market went tumblins
The stocks that led it up led it. down
Reading. Union Pacific, and Steel were
as weak as they had been strong. Cot
ton went skyroCketlng TO the highest
prices seen in i've years.
Net gain for the cotton was above
$50 per bale in all options. Wheat
climbed to the highest price on record
since the great corner of a few years
ago, and closed the day with options
from IA to cents higher per bushel.
There is no longer any doubt that there
has been a disaster in the wheat and the
cotton fields.
Wall Street was in humor to make the
worst OF everything. because it wanted
a reaction. Therefore. it argued, that
even if the railroad presidents do give ill.,
to the eight-hour demand of President
Wilson and get their rate increase in
return, that will make simply an extra
tax on business,
As matter of fact technical condi,
tiOns in the stock market demand a
t.
as a well-behaved list should act ir
a regular old fashioned bull market
Whether there is a railroad strike
or not the market will recover after
certain readjustments are made in
trading accounts. 1t seems that the
public did rush in to some extent at
the last minute and brokers find their
loans increasing rapidly. The bank
statement tomorrow should show a
material increase in loans and in net
demand deposits.
Before the break came there was
good buying Of copp"rs and munitions
one copper stock. Inspiration, made
new high record. kenncCOtt. it was
said would declare an s. dividend on
September and that was the reason
for buying that stock Ray COnsoli-
dated was bought in expectation of a
s. dividend. Wall Street believes the
day Of the cOppers has come and es-
peciaIIy 50 because the metal for De-
cember delivery was advanced today
to S cents a pound. There are re-
ports of big orders soon to he signed
for the allies.
Strength Of the munitions was due
partly TO the fact that the United
States government has approved or
ders for a good many million dollars
worth Of ammunition subject to the
PI residents approval of the army and
navy bills now on their way through
congress.

Ing OF prohts BY buyers who had taken the various

the condition OF the crop at 55I per cent and
indications that a tropical storm might advance
into the eastern belt TIE market at Liverpool

initial strength.

trastsd with rs bales for the corresponding
period last season.

Third of world. Gold in L. :.
Brokers Look for Cotton Rise.

Much interest was shown in the re-
port that Wall Street interests have
been hedging their stock operations
in the cotton market on the theory
that sudden peace would send cotton
up as rapidly as it might send stocks
down. Many OF the bigger operators
are said to have sought protection by
taking on cotton. If Wall Street
should enter on this sort of hedging
on a large scale, It well might off
set the hearish effect of a crop report
that might show the cotton crop as
likely to Io larger than cotton traders
now count upon.
