Prices Harden Without
Any Increase in
Business.
LITTLE CHANGE
IN SENTIMENT
Street Interested In Pending
Railroad Investigation
Money Easy.

Without any marked change in fun
damental conditions, stock prices
worked toward higher levels yesterday.
Business, however, underwent further
contraction, and fell short Of the small
turnover Of the day before. The best
that could be said of the general ac-
ton Of the market was that there was
an absence of the pressure that caused
the reaction on Thursday. Buying,
such as il was, came from professional
traders in the usual process Of evening
I'D commitments over Sunday.
The Street made much yesterday OF
the announcement from Washington
that the joint special committee or
Congress which is 10 conGuc, sweep
ing Investigation into railroad operat-
ing conditions has been appointed and
will proceed 70 work as soon as the
present session of the national legis-
lature adjourns. II is the opinion in
banking and railroad circles that much
good NAV come Of the proposed inves-
tigation, one OF the possible results be-
ing a single headed Federal control, as
against the present regulation at the
hands Of the railroad commissions OF
the several states. Moreover, the fact
that the railway labor situation, which
is threatening to develop serious com
plications, may be considered is viewed
with favor. While this figured largely
in the Streets discussions yesterday,
il cannot be said 70 have had much OF
an effect on stock prices. Railway
shares improved, but did little more
than recover the ground lost the day
before.
The majority Of the industrial shares
registered substantial net gains, but
after the demand had been satisfied
the tendency was toward dulness.
United States Steel acted better than
any day this week, and closed large
fraction up. Some of the war stocks
did well on reports OF new war orders.
According to the currency movements
of the week, the banks gained about
$4,000, 600 in cash. Money continued
moderately easy, with the call renewal
rate unchanged at pa per cent. Prices
in the grain markets moved nervously
or fresh reports of crop damage.

CALM TONE In
LONDON MARKET
Shipping Shares the Feature on
UncOnfirmed Rumors of
Mergers.

London, July 2s.-The present tone
Of calmness and steadiness Of the stock
market is in striking contrast to the
panicky conditions which prevailed
about this time in 1914, when the mar
kets were closed to stem the flood OF
selling and the international credit
system was dislocated
The gilt-edged section is now ABB
sorbing securities which the authori-
ties are offering from controlled banks
in order to benefit English creditors.
Business otherwise is listless, but the
tone is good, and to-day most of the
interest was in shipping shares, which
were active and advancing on uncon-
firmed amalgamation rumors. Cour-
taulds stock was strong on the in
creased dividend. American securities
were idly steady around parity. Money
and discount rates were steady.
The Bank of England to-day bought
$4,000 IN bar gold. Money loaned at
AZ per cent. Discount rates for short
and three months bills, 59s and 5%

By adopting the bond method
they have figured out that they
can complete their work in three
years time, doing one-third of the
job each year. Over and aboy
their preset income it will

vision is made for having landlords
and hotel keepers make returns for
their tenants. Mr.. Morawetz sug-
gests that provision should be
made in New York for $4,000 ex-
emption. No one occupying a dwell
ing costing less than that sum
would be required to pay anything
Mr.. Morawetz takes the burden
of taxation off the middle-class city
dweller,, and dumps it onto the
shoulders of the rich and the farm
er. Every farmer would be re-
quired to pay according to the val
uation of his house and lot, while
the festive city jewellers would
find some easy means of getting

maintaining the roads over the six
year period.
These estimates are based upon
experience. Interest on the bonds
through the six year period will "a
mount to $4,000. By adopting the
bonding plan they can have perlha-
nenltly graded and drained roads
Within three years TIME without a
dollar of additional taxes and cam
maintain them. They have found
that tine cost of interest on the
money is very small when COM
pared to the cost of maintaining
temporary roads by temporary re-
pairs until such a time as money
can be secured out of annual lev
les to enable the Board of Super
visors to make permanent improve
ments.
