WEEKLY REVIEW BY
THOMPSON g. M'KINNON

NEW YORK, July 21.-Irregular
price movements characterized the
opening of the stock market this
morning. AS in the recent past, this
was due 10 the many diverse con-
siderations operating for the expec-
tation of high prices in one depart
ment and lower prices in another.
The volume of transactions, how
ever, was extremely small, and not
much increase is looked for today,
inasmuch as il IS a short day
United States steel common still
commands the bulk of speculative
and investment attention, but senti-
ment remains somewhat unsettled as
10 its future fluctuations because Of
the prevailing uncertainty as TO
what effect the proposed govern
ment tax levy will have on its flu
ture dividend disbursement capacity.
AT the moment, however, the market
for the stock Is refe citing a feeling
that the constant reactionary price
movement for four weeks. involv-
ing a break of more than $500 a
share has practically discontinued
many adverse contingencies. which
together with an improved techni-
cal position and an unwieldly short
interest, presages higher prices for
the stock. The same considerations
are also reflected in many of the
affiliated iron and steel shares rs
we'll as many OF tho better class of
copper issues, all Of which are eX-
pected TO benefit appreciabIy from
war business. The same degree of
optimism is observable in the rail
that liquidation in this class of Sc
curities has practically run its
course: that almost every unfavora-
bic circumstance has been discount
ed by the low prices obtaining. and
that the future holds the prospect
Of an increase in freight rates that
viii prove of unreasonable comfort
TO the railroads on the other
hand. however. il is generally &C
cepted that the automobile indus
try. particularly companies manu-
featuring pleasure cars only, con-
tiuues within the period of drastic
readjustment by reason of now con-
ditions brought forward by the war.
and the shares OF various motor
companies are expected 10 attain
lower price levels before a complete
readjustment has been effected. II
* A foregone conclusion that some
o. them NAV find II entirely con-
sentative to deprive their stock
holders OF part or all Of their div
idend payments, especially on the
common shares, for time at least
70 fortify their position, financial
and physically: but il il conceded
that a day will soon arrive when
the survival Of the fttest' will be
demonstrated IN marked fashion.
and as result some motor STOCKS
will repeat and probably exceed
their market action or a year or
more ago.
CORN-Despite another advance
Of 4 10 s cents In cash corn, the new
crop futures we're not RESPONSE e.
This condition is due 10 forcing
weather ever the entire belt to-
gether with private advices OF be1e-
ncial rains in the west. The weekly
forecast is for fair weather with in
termitten showers, cooler the latter
part Of the week. Demand for cash
corn remains industrial and local.

Notes of the Financial World

are OF the opinion that this is a big
exagseratiOn.
According 10 figures Of the Brit
ish admiralty, the average of week
~ sinkings is 27.65 British ships.
At an average of 1000 tons per ship,
this would he about 22.20O tons a
month IL all other losses. including
French. American and neUtrals. are
placed at a similar figure, the to-
tai destruction is well below half a
million tons a month.
Comparatively low rates Of inSur-
ance support the estimate of half a
million tons. Government rates are
: percent 10 United Kingdom. and
the same rate is quoted by Lloyds.
New York rates are Z percent on
certain ships. while percent is an
average. Rates are regulated &C
cording 10 percentage Of losses. and
if the average is increased, rates
will rise in proportion.
Banking interests who
have recently studied into the sub
marine boat situation express their
belief that the stock. of which 1865
600 shares are outstanding. is full
ly worth its present selling price
This stock has a current market
value Of about $4,000. 900. Against
this the company his actually sign
ed and on its books a bit above
s1OO.OOO.OOO OF orders. And il is
likely 10 he the recipient OF i'm
mense further orders that will great
ly overshadOw the amount now car
ried on the order sheets.

 istrator Garfield.

Washington, Oct. 8.-Few specific complaints of coal shortage have been reported from any part of the coun- try in spite of the recent cold wea- tner, Fuel Administrator Garfield said today after a conference with Presi- dent Wilson.
 The administrator explained that some complaints of coal shortage came from persons whose orders are not filled promptly because of the great demand at this time of the year and who are unnecessarily worried as a result.
