PRICE ADJUSTMENT
 AND WAR TAXATION
 CHECKS INVESTORS
Stock Market Devoid of Im- pOrtant Activities-Res- toration of Easy Money
 Feature
By "Hop"

New York, July 1.-The week in the stock market was devoid of important developments, aside from the restoration of easier money conditions and the in- terstate commerce commission decision denying in the main the plea of the rail- roads for horizontal rate increase.
 It Is too soon to judge the effect of this decision, but interests identified with the largest transportation lines pro- fess to find some encouragement in the few concessions granted.
 Financial sta tements from railroad industrial and commercial interests were of unusual promise and the decline in call and time loans was the automatic result of redeposits by the treasury for the liberty loan. The coming fortnight will witness very heavy disbursements, however, for midyear interests and divi- dend payments.
 Temporary cessation of the gold inflow, which reached total In excess of s1Oo,- 000,000 were offset by exports of about the steady impairment of Russian ex- change which now shows a depreciation of almost 60 per cent, foreign remit tances were little altered.
 Stocks in general were irregular the greater part of the time, mainly because of the heaviness of motors and utilities
 The bond market gave no signs of an awakening investment interest usual at this period of the year. Investors are continuing their attitude of aloofness pending adjustment of government price fixing and war taxation.

MARKET REVIEW FOR WEEK

contracts from other than government sources
 The navy department has received bids from general contractors on 15 mine storage houses, 40 magazines, a nautical institute at Washington and an office building at the Portsmouth navy yard. These buildings will require 45o0 tons of steel. The navy department will take bids also on several buildings at Annap- ohs of concrete and steel construction.
 Snip yards, airplane manufacturers, en- zine builders and manufacturers of mu- nitions who have received government orders are now actively placing con tracts for cranes and machine tools. 1t Is estimated that contracts for the ex- penditure of $5000,000 for machine tools have been placed recently
 More contracts for boats have been placed by the emergency fleet corpora tion and builders who have received pre- vious contracts for cargo ships are &C., lively in the market for structural steel for plant improvements as well as for shop equipment The Bethlehem Steel corporation has offered to build 100 ships for the government.

 Railroads, while actively in the market for miscellaneous supplies such as car axles. brake beams, railroad spikes, bolts and track supplies generally, are placing only few orders for rails, cars and loco- motives, largely because of the inability of equipment manufacturers to obtain necessary supplies of steel. The few lots of rails available command ex- trenely high prices. even seconds are bringing S60 a ton, while light sections have sold as high as $e0 a ton
 The principal locomotive orders was 65 for the Burlington, to be built by the Baldwin works; railroads have also placed few bridge orders.
 Increased activity has developed in pig iron in the past few days. Sales through out the country have amounted to about 125.000 tons since last report. Substan- tial contracts have been placed by man. ufacturers of railroad and agricultural equipment, of machinery and of war mu- nitions. Prices have advanced between $S and $4 ton on foundry grade in eastern Pennsylvania and Virginia and $5 ton at Buffalo and in Alabama The Pittsburg market, while strong, has ad- vanced less rapidly.

St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1917-12-28

The need OF an opera house
in st. Johns is urged by a
writer elsewhere in this paper.
AS the population increases
this need isl becoming more APP
parent. 11e suggestion made
that a NEE ling of our citizens
be called { , discuss the needs of
the town is a good one. While
many are aware of needful
things in st. Johns, unless some
action be launched in an effort
to secure them, they will not
be acquired. Why would il not
be a good plan for the leading
men of st. Johns to cali a meet
ing where discussion may take
place and views expressed? An
opera house. hospital, apart
ment houses. hotels. laundry.
more dwellings, all are live
topics and an open discussion
may bring out ways and means
of acquiring them. Let us have
a public meeting.
