STOCK MARKET

New York, May 21AThe week on
the stock exchange opened with a
confident resumption of the recent
advance, industrials and war issues
again leading. United States Steel
was conspicuous by it's rise Of two
points to the new high of 124 3-8.
Other stocks of the same class gained
one to two points in the first half
hour Shippings rallied from last
weeks setback and important rail-
roads made fractional gains Special
ties and utilities were featured by In
dustriaI Alcohol and Ohio Gas at adj
vances of two to three points. Aside
from a further moderate decline in
Denver & Rio Grande preferred there
were virtually no exception to the
higher trend.
Metals, oils and sugars Joined in the
broad trading Of the first hour. The
turnover Of that period aggregated al
most 10000 shares, of which United
States Steel supplied about 80 per
cent. Short covering and fresh buy
ing fully offset profit taking. A tenn
porary lull and moderate .recessions in
leaders proved to be in the nature of
a breathing spell, prices mounting
higher toward midday. Equipments
and associated specialties continued to
dominate the market. Another re-
versa1 in motors and accessories and
the heaviness of Peoples Gas and
United Fruit exerted little adverse eff
feet. Bonds were firm, international
issues displaying unusual activity.

Of Finance
some of the extremely drastic meas

some OF the extremely drastic meas
ures at first proposed. It certainly
appears unwise to put undue taxes up
on excess profits and thus cripple pro-
,duction and impair investment power
for the new bond issue. Excess taxes
should be based upon average profits
and more normal conditions than exist
at present. The country is quickly adj
justing itself to new conditions, and
industrial activity is being rapidly di-
verted to war purposes and to indus
tries, which will strengthen the coun-
try for meeting the struggle into
which it has lately plunged The food
outlook is Frightening somewhat
Crops are likely to be larger than at
one time anticipated. Railroad prob
lens are in a fair way Of adjustment,
although the transportation lines are
still working under the disadvantage
Of low rates, heavy expenses, taxation,
etc. Public service corporations are
facing similar difficulties. Another
element of encouragement is the pros
pect of improved relations between
capital and labor. The war has al
ready revealed the solidarity Of inter-
ests between both, and will in all
probability do much towards dinin-
ishing the misunderstanding and I'M
justifiable antagonism that has so long
existed between these elements. So
far as the war is concerned progress
has been in measure retarded late
Iy by the disorganized state Of Rus
STA, the revolution having. evidently
temporarily weakened her military
ability. Recent news, however, from
that quarter has been much more IA
vorable, and this market reflected the
improvement in general advance
which began after announcement on
Wednesday that this country had
made a loan Of $100,00O,000 to Rus
STA, showing display of confidence
by our government which would not
have been possible without good rea-
sons. The future of the stock market
is tied up in a mass of conflicting in
fIuences, which make all predictions
extremely hazardous, if not inpos-
sible.. For some, time to come Wash
ington will be dominating factor in
business generally. Conditions are
such that we may look forward to
sustained activity in all lines of: in
dustries which provide necessities, but
a general slowing down Of those de-
voted to 1uxuries. Economy judicious-
fy applied will benefit and not injure
the country creating a prosperity
more lasting than any based upon few
erish extravagance.

Opportunity For Women of Virginia
to Serve Country In Various Ways
VIII Be Ample.

w. Sale Developing Red Cross and
Other Work.

In the event OF war with Germany,
the women of Virginia would be given
ample opportunity to serve the coun-
try in many ways, particularly in the
work Of the Red Cross and in taking
up such duties as they could perform,
which were given up by men who
had gone with the army. Already
movements have been started which
will organize this work in Virginia.
Mrs. william Wilson Sale. wife of
the Acknowledgement Of Virginia, has
for some time been engaged in estab-
fishing a base hospital in Richmond.
During the last few months she has
been in communication with Colonel
jefferson r. Kahn, of the United States
army, and Miss Jane A. Delano. chair
man Of the national committee of the
Red Cross nursing service, with ref
crence to the hospital.
Hospital OF 500 Cots Planned.
II is planned that Richmond have
a hospital of 500 cots, the establish
ment OF which would cost about
$4,000. Mrs. sale has undertaken this
work and will enlist with her the aid
of the Richmond women. in order that
it might be brought about. Whether
war comes at this time or not. the es-
ia adjustment of a base hospital in
>
should be shortly brought about Simi-
lar institutions are in number of
the larger Eastern cities.
Al the Congress of Constructive Pa
triotism, which met in Washington
several weeks ago, an organization
committee was appointed to make a
canvass Of the women of the country.
in order TO ascertain just what posi-
tons they could fill in time Of war.
Mobilize Women of state.
Mrs Sale was made a member Of
this committee for Virginia. and the
work OF modifying the women Of the
state for war service will be done in
short time
-Many- positions such as street car
conductors and motormen, chauffeurs.
postal service work and numerous
others can he well filled by women
as has been demonstrated In the Euro
pean countries, and il is with the idea
Of mobilizing the women Of Virginia
for such work that the Congress of
Constructive Patriotism was held.
The Virginia women will be classified,
and. in the event of need. will be
called on for aid
