Wall Street Opinion

The following analysis of the New
York market situation was received late
yesterday afternoon by w. B. Hibbs &
Co from a New York correspondent:
While the entire country was eagerly
awaiting President Wilson's address to
Congress on the question of war with
Germany. a number OF highly important
developments occurred in the financial
situation. which went a great ways to-
ward stimulating confidence.
In the first place 10000 0O0 more gold
arrived from Canada, making $4,000 900 In
the last few days. This more than offsets
the considerable loss in the surplus re-
serve shown in the actual clearinghouse
bank statement of Saturday. With a
great deal more gold on the way as well
as large quantities of securities from
France and Great Britain. there is no
disturbance likely to occur in the local
money market.
THE next most important event was the
way the new s60000,OO0 of Pennsylvania
41-2 per cent bonds were heavily over
subscribed. This shows the continued in
vestment demand that still prevails de-
spite the menacing influence Of war.
These developments with the absence
of any Sensational submarine news turned
the market up from the weak and lower
opening and general declines of the first
hour to a strong and buoyant market
condition during the afternoon. This re-
suited from not only the patriotic support
which the market received from certain
larger and leading interests. but from
considerable new buying by local opera
tors and commission houses. There was
much less selling pressure than was in
evidence during the closing days of last
week and altogether the market seemed
TO have been well prepared for the ex-
pected news late this afternoon from
Washington that the President would
recommend that a recognition be made
by Congress "a state Of war exists with
Germany and that he be given the neo-
essary authority to meet the situation" ."

strong features. Wheat for the May de-

May corn sold at a new high NJ ~ IA. an
