WALL ST. MARKET
SECURITIES LIST OPENS
MODERATELY STRONG.
Many Shares Gain in Early
Trading, Several Registering
Advances of a Full Point-U.
S. Steel Sells Up IL at
112 5-8-BethIehem 3 Stock
Touches 127 IL.

NEW YORK, April 14-The stock
market opened moderately strong to-
day. Gains ranging UP to a full point
United States Steel was up n at
ll2%, and Bethlehem Steel B stock
gained a point to 1874.
Peoples Gas collapsed under SELL
ing pressure, dropped 81 to IS on the
first sale and selling at 81 on the
next.
Wall Streets attention was riveted
on Washington in anticipation of &C
tion on the finance bill in Congress.
A vote was not expected until after
close of the market, and therefore
1t was a matter that operated to hold
back any active participation. Inter
est was manifested in the proposal of
financiers In this State, to advance
funds to farmers for the encourage
ment of getting the utmost returns
from soil production. The proposition
had a stimulating effect on the prices
of the leading chemical fertilizer
companies stocks.
There is considerable enthusiasm
over the continued successes of the
British arms and equal qualification
Is felt concerning the rapidity with
which Germany is alternating Latin
America.
The conviction is growing that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
soon will act favorably on the rail-
road application for higher freight
rates. Nevertheless the railroad list
was narrowly irregular and practical
ly neglected. Among the outstanding
industrials, United States Steel sold
90 he
week. The copper group made little
change.
Aside from Atlantic Gulf, which ad-
vanced some two points, there was
but Indifferent trading In the shipping
shares. Munition and equipment Is
sues, such as Crucible Steel, American
Locomotive, and Baldwin moved for
ward more than a point. Cuba cane
sugar led the sugar group with a gain
of two points. Bonds were quiet, with
continued strength In the foreign loan
issues and a trend to heavfness in
United States Government and rail-
road bonds. The grain market was
strong with May wheat at a new REQ
ord price, fractionally above $225 a
busheL Cotton was unsettled.
London was quiet but firm. The
foreign exchange market on this side
offered little feature. Sterling and
francs were unchanged, as were rates
on Petrograd, but Rome rates were
flrmer.
As to general business conditions In
this country, the trade journals are
agreed that the declaration of a state
of war has had very little adverse ef-
feet. Whether the coming of peace in
the next month or so, rumors from
abroad being peculiarly consistent in
this respect, will be a bullish or bear
lsn innuence, Is a much mooted ques-
tion.

BANK CLERKS DRILL
M. A. Quinn, Former Cadet, Expects
to Enroll Class Of 100.

The first active step in the work OF
building up a military unit from the
bank clerks was taken last night
when more than fifty of Washington's
Junior bankers, members Of Washing
ton Chapter of the American Institute
of Banking, were given two hours OF
drill instruction by N. A. Quinn.
formerly a West Point cadet. Prac-
tically every bank in Washington was
represented In the drill, and enthu-
siasm was shown by all present
It was decided to hold two drills
q week, on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings. in the hall of the chapter,

lectures on first aid work Is to be
given in connection with the drills.
under the auspices Of the American
Red Cross.
President Roy l. Neuhauser said
today that he expected to increase
the class to at least 100 members in
the near future. Those wishing to
enlist for the classes are requested
to communicate with Charles Beaumet
the Riggs National Bank.

Whole Outside List Advances In
EARLY Trading.

NEW YORK, April IA strong
tone marked trading in the outside
market during the first hour, the
whole list advancing from a fraction
to two points or more in some of the
specialties. The independent oil
shares recorded the most strength,
with Merritt Oil the leader, selling
above 25 at a gain OF more than a
point. Other oils showing strength
were Federal and International Pc
troleum.
Among the specialties Hendee Man
ufacturing was a feature, rising five
points from the opening sale. The
motor stocks were exceptions to the
upward movement, and most OF the
issues sold fractionally lower, includ-
ing Chevrolet and Standard Motors
The munitions issues were Arm.
Bonds were fairly active, with
strength and activity in Long Island
Railroad debentures 5's.

Make Believe Investments.

The financial district was again
busy yesterday trying to invest for the
United States Steel Corporation its
huge holdings of cash. which, togeth-
er with demand loans amounted to
$3.50, ,O0O, 900 on December 81, 1915, ac-
cording to the annual report. One
large stock exchange firm issued q
letter stating that the important in
terests in the corporation have under
consideration the subject Of invest
ing the cash on hand, and that one
suggestion is the retirement of the
ten to sixty year sinking fund 8 per
cent bonds, of which there are $751;
900, 900 outstanding. This Is author
itatively denied. About three weeks
ago the Street had the corporations
money locked In foreign government
treasury bills, but this was also de-
MED. The large sum seems to be
causing more worry to the brokers
than to the officers of the company.
War and Innation-
A Wall Street house In speaking Of
the Presidents recent war address says
that the Street is going to look at It
optimisncally because OF the possibility
Of imitation which the war may bring.
Imitation. however. Is no bull argument
on the country's money and business
and, as this house says. bullishness on
the prospect of imitation may make for
something worse later on And 1t adds:
Don't forget that with modern warfare
comes modern taxation and the fork
full OF food we eat will be taxed. Scien-
tifc financing OF loans should tend to
prevent serious imitation, and for that
reason there should be greater willingness
on the part OF the men in Washington to
consult more freely with bankers re-
garding these loans. Sound financing
will prevent disturbance and equitable
taxation will not upset business.

CrftIcIses Government Report.
The crop report of the International
Harvester Company is the most radi-
cal SO far made. It states that the
Government never indicates the maxi
mum quantity of a bumper yield nor
the minimum prospects of a poor
crop. Its figures on winter wheat are
80. .OOo, 900 bushels below the Govern
ment report as of April 1, and sug-
Rests a loss from last year of 10O,-
0OO, 900 bushels. The common and
preferred stocks closed together
Thursday, and advanced yesterday on
the idea that a stimulation Of agricul-
ture would mean much larger require
ments for harvesting machinery. The
stock of the export company was also
strong.

NEWS FOR INVESTORS.
Reasons for Rate Increase.

An increase of $4,000. 900 in eight
leading items of expense Of the rail-
ways of the United States for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1917, over
the previous year. is shown In esti-
mates published in the current issue
of the Railway Age Gazette. The items
include: Increase IN train service EN-
ployes' wages, s60.000,0 900; other en-
ployes' wage increases, S40,OOO.OOO;
fuel increase in price OF so cents
ton, 100000. 900: taxes increase, 10
per cent, S22.000,000; rails, Increased
price of $40 per ton. $50. 100000; loco
motives, increased price of 80 per cent.
372. .00o. 900; passenger cars, 90 per
cent increase, s1s,000.000; freight cars,
increase of so per cent, sl05'OOO.OO
''It Is hardly necessary to add that
these figures relate to only small
part of the total number OF items en-
tering into operating expenses says
the article, "and that large increases
ranging from 25 to 200 per cent have
occurred in practically all such Items
Therefore, even though some OF these
rough, approximate figures be too
large, II is not improbable that on
the basis of present wages, prices and
taxes, the railroads OF the United
States are incurring expenses and
taxes exceeding those of the fiscal
year 1915 at the rate OF *oOo'oOO'OVV
a year"

II the barometer of business repre-
sented by the reporters OF r. @. Dun
& Co., and Bradstreet's In every part
OF the United States correctly reflects
the sentiment of the country then the
declaration of war from a business
viewpoint has caused hardly a ripple.
It may be said that the country has
hung out some such sort of a sign as
generally adorns a small store during
its remodeling, Business going on as
usual during alterations" They tell 1t
in a prim and matter OF fact way,
these business reports, but 1t is as
good news as will be found on the first
page this morning. Changing condi-
tions in business result from the ma
tional exigency. but thus far the eco
nomic readjustments have been effect
ed with a minimum OF unsettlement,"
opines the Dun Review. Industry

Government, the wants of which will
receive preference as to deliveries and
prices" says Bradstreets.
