NEW YORK, June 24,-Investment

close of the week that they We're at a loss
to understand the complete lack of activity

demand prices were shade easier, while
the interest return was slightly better than
the prevailing level of the last few months
There did not appear TO be any pressure

There was a feeling that II war is de-
clared in Mexico the United States would
put out large issue Of securities, and the
opinion vas expressed that money rates
would perhaps seek a higher level than at

cred likely that the large institutions that

vantage OF the expected higher money rates.
To date. however, there has been no indica-
tion of any pronounced advance in rates for

vailing quotations are somewhat above
those Of the last winter and spring.

parently taking profits,

important room operators also took various

tant options dropped point, while July and
october fell and points, respectively.

2l5 TO 4 points, whereas prices were due to
come 5Ia to IA points lower. private
cable stated that he market was a small

LOSS OF MECCA

This and Russian Successes

BY FRANCIS w. HIRST
Editor Of The Economist.
{ c,,,.tat f,obl. ~ EyPStSg LEDGER,


LONDON. June 24.-The war map has
been altered considerably in our favor since
the tremndous Russian drive into Austrian
Galcia and the sensational news that Tur'
key has lost Mecca without eNaggerating
the value Of prestige, one may confidently
assert that the loss of Mecca to the Sultan
is a capital blow.
These two events following the naval
catastrophe may bring the Central Powers
q long way I'm the direction of terms which
could be accepted.
The depression in the stock market here
is partly the natural reaction from the
buoyancy Of the last few weeks, but Is
mainly due, ! think to the apprehension
embarrassments. Nevertheless the fact
that consos stand at 50, as against 81 last
November, when minimum prices were re-
moved. tcstincs TO the wonderful confidence
Of our people and the vast reserves of
wealth still existing. It is now held for
certain that all minimum prices will be
removed the first week in July.
This is probably the only bellgerent
country in which the working classes as
n whole are not feeling the economic strain,
yet they are paying heavy war taxes for
their luXuries.
Budget modification were welcomed, but
you will observe that Chancellor McKenna
surrendered very little revenue
The supplies of sugar seem improved
This is satisfactory, as strawberries and
cherries have to be converted on an cnor-
nous scale into jam.

CONDITIONS IN STEEL MARKET OTtIEr =
WITH A SMALLER DOMESTIC DEMA,,u
Foreign Business Continues to Be Placed-Speculatio,
Russian Rail Order-Algoma Steel Gets Ex. a
tensve Orders for Munitions

Conditions in the steel market. according
to the best information obtainable' are
more quiet than heretofore. The demand is
somewhat smaller from domestic consumers
and, although foreign business Is being
placed right along and additional orders
are pending, the volume is not as large as
IL was during May.
Recessions are again reported from the
premiums that were being asked and OBJ
tained by some manufacturers a few months
ago, but the regular market, which has been
adhered to by the larger companies, has not
been changed in any material respect
There is much speculation In steel circles
on the Russian rail order, about which
much has been said recently, but 1t is stated
I'm the trade that the contracts have not
yet been received by the makers
When the business is finally placed, 1t
is the general belief that approximately
half of the 35O. 900 tons wanted, or $4,000
tons, will be taken by the United States
steel Corporation, and that about 10000
tons will be given to the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation. with the Cambria Steel Com
pany and the Lackawanna Steel Company
