Opinions of New York BrokerE

The following analysis Of the New York
market situation was received by w. B.
Hibbs & Co., from prominent fnanciers:
AS much of the selling indulged in on
Saturday was based on the expectations
OF far-reaching developments along
peace lines and the Kaiser's birthday
proclamation failed to reveal anything
new. shorts were more disposed to cover
early. As fresh power was abundant the
nlling of requirements by shorts found
the market again wanting for support
The trade was much disturbed by dis
patches emanating from Washington in
dicating the possibility of a reopening of
submarine controversies. This added to
the belief expressed in some quarters,
and which not down. that further
peace overtures by Germany may be
made, accelerated the desire to reduce
long lines. Industrial issues were the
more adversely affected and United
states Steel, despite predictions of an
extra disbursement on common stock and
the disclosure of record breaking earn
ings during the last quarter of 1916
shared in the late weakening"

The ObjeGtives yesterday were the
Gheluvelt and Gravenstafel ridges, to
the south and north of the former Bri-
tish wedge respectively, and before
noon both positions had been cleared
of Germans and were safely in British
hands. To the east, the AnZacs pierced
the German dcfenses and reached q
point well past the Broodseynde cross
roads to the vantage points on this sec.
tor.
Counters Repulsed
Recovering from the shock of their
initial defeat, the Germans organized
q number of fierce counters, which the
British met stoutly, beating them back
one after another, inflicting heavy
losses upon the Bavarian veterans who
have been concentrated along this high
ly important front. The British artil-
lery was of the greatest assistance to
the infantry in breaking up the Ger
man charges, the shells striking the
enemy ranks into bloody confusion.
One counter, taken part in by select
ed troops from three divisions, was
practically wiped out, being caught be-
tween the British baTrage and the Bri
tish lines of blazing rifles and machine
guns. The slaughter at this point was
very heavy and few of the attackers
managed to run the gauntlet of the
shells and regain their own lines.
Where Gains Made
The greatest advance was made by
those troops now holding the crossroads

: !, October 5
final movement to prevent sup
plies of any kind from reaching
Germany through any of the neu-
tral countries was decided upon
yesterday by the American gov
ernment, which issued a state
ment addressed particularly to
the South American exporters.
The American government,
through its control of American
shipping, will hereafter, the an
nouncement states, refuse to per7
NIT the use Of any American ship
for the carrying Of exports 70 the
neutral Northern European coun-
tries from South America unless
it is agreed by the exporters that
the cargo shall. be taken to an
American port en- route and there
be subject to examination. al
ALLIES ACT TOGETHER
In this, the United States is
acting in concert with the En-
tente Allies, who have issued a
similar declaration regarding the
use of their shipping and an
nounced the same regulations and
terms. ''"
South America is practically
dependent upon the shipping Of
the United States, Great Britain
and France for the transportation
of its exports, while the Scandi-
navian and Dutch shipping is de-
pendent upon Great Britain and
the United States for its coal and
cannot operate in defiance of the
regulations provided.
PRESSURE IS STRONG
With the United States and
Great, Britain refusing to permit
supplies to leave their ports for
the Northern European neutrals
until such time as a castiron em-
barge is declared by these neu-
trails against Germany, and with
these further regulations that will
prevent food stuff and other need
ed supplies reaching these neu-
trails from South America, the
pressure being brought to bear
upon Norway, Sweden, Denmark
and Holland is practically irre-
sistible, These nations must
starve or agree to prevent any
thing reaching Germany that can
be of benefit to her in the carry
ing on of the war. .: @
SWEDEN FRIGHTENED
The effect of the Anglo-Amer-
lean embargo is already manifest
ing itself in Sweden. Dispatches
from Stockholm yesterday state
that the Swedish press is express
ing its indignation at the Allies
for OBTAINING Swedish vessels in
foreign ports from pursuing their
regular schedules, and are greatly
t exercised over the effects of the
, new blockade regulations just in,
, stituted by the United States and
the Entente Allies.
