Shorts Cover, Longs Eiquidate and
Traders Entirely Overlook In

New York. Feb. Avail Street spent

lying only feebly toward the close. What
1t all meant, nobody could tell, but the
traders felt sure something dreadful was
about to happen. Shorts covered and
longs liqutdated. and as a result Of the
days operations the market Is left ready
TO swing in accordance with the news
that may be dominant in the next day or
two.
This news is not expected to affect val
ues materially because there is nothing
In sight, however bad, that can reduce
the remarkable earnings now being har-
vested by American corporations, both
industrial and railroad.
So excited did Wall Street become that
II failed absolutely to realize the great
good fortune that has come to the Amer
lean Can Company in the announcement
by the Federal Court that it not only
guaratees the good faith OF the company
now, but will continue to do so Indefinite
~. Few stock certificates have ever had
a government seal attached
Collapse OF the wheat market was the
most spectacular feature Of the day, for
decline OF I cents a bushel is something
TO make even professional traders pay
respectful attention. Wheat is down
ocSNN 40 cents the week, and this in
the face OF reports Of damage in Kansas
and OF shortage OF labor in Canada.
Grain Operators Not Fearful.
On account Of the extent to which ma
chinery is used in the farming opera
tons OF Canada, grain operators have no
rear for the next crop on that account
America as a whole is in splendid shape
agrtculturally. The expectation Of good
crops undoubtedly had as much TO do
with the break in wheat as did the Ger
man submarine menace.
Except from a purely sentimental point
OF view the stock market Is in a remark
ably strong condition.
The view that the International Mer-
camille Marine receivership suit will be
thrown out of court as soon as the judges
can get to II IS held by practically all OF
Wall Street. Return to the Trans-AtIan-
tic trade OF several steamers that have
been engaged in war business will in
crease the earnings of the company,
which are now said to be running at the
high record.
Insiders of the American Can Company
are delighted with the decision OF the
court IN the dissolution case. hTey con-

Of this is that the American Can Is de-
clared TO be conducted legally and the
