Steel stocks were buoyant in a
cuiet market yesterday, in which the
trend of the price movement was
mainly under the control Of the pro-
fessional trading element. The eX-
ira dividend of 315 per cent, de-
clared late Thursday on Lackawanna
Steel common stock, was apparently
the pivot on which the steel shares
moved forward. Republic Iron and
steel. an important independent, was
particularly strong and active, rising
81, points to 1884 on a turnover OF
$4,000 shares. United States Steel
common stock rose ~ points to 1874
and closed at the best Of the day
with vigorous display Of strength.
The gain in Lackawanna Steel was
ga points. The feeling among the
speculative element toward the steel
shares appears to have been more or
less improved by the Lackawanna
extra dividend, which indicates that
in spite of war taxation, and the abb
normally heavy operating costs in

and steel products have been arbi-
trarily fixed by government ukase,
there is still the possibility of a fur

stockholders in the form of extra dis

bilities that speculation feeds.

The stock market has arrived at
an interesting stage. After sub
stantial recovery in the fore part OF
the week activity has tapered off
and prices have lost much Of the
momentum that carried them for
ward at the start. The situation is
puzzling some Of the most expert Of
the professional traders. They have
been responsible in large part for the
upturn, but their efforts so far have
failed to get them a following with
the public, which apparently was
hard hit in the prolonged decline that
ended fortnight ago. Sentiment in
the Street has undergone distinct
improvement both as regards the
general financial outlook and the
military situation, but few persons
are willing to predict what course
the next swing of the market will
take. Many astute observers of stock
market conditions have been insist
ing for some past that there can be
no bullish speculation on the scale
witnessed in the market of 1915 and
1916 as long as the war lasts.

Building Materials, Too

This form Of intelligent analysis has
very definite expression in the sale Of
those items which go into building.
Expensive door locks are being bought
most gingerly. as few people now are
building handsome houses. But the
democratic strap and T hinges are go
ing in large volume, because the farmer
lie building barns and storehouses for
his great production OF this years
harvest. So in tools--edge tools, such
as are used by carpenters. are in
lessened demand because building in
general has declined. But the wise
dealer still orders literally on files and
all other mechanics tools, since manu-
featuring plants are running overtime.
The same analysis likewise sized up the
situation Of selling razor Announcements
that safety rszors would not be all the
go. despite their being so convenient
and already in such general favor, and
this because in the trenches some would
not take a sufficient stock of extra
blades with them and probably could
not get them abroad. IL is this study
of the situation as TO cause and effect
in each particular case which makes
success in merchandising to-day depen-
dent upon intelligent analysis and far
sighted vision.

tudes are sold by the middle of Janu-
nry thew are not sold at all. Hence the
retailers are waiting till the last mo-
ment to see what the weather will be
before placing their orders. They pre-
fer not to have the goods at all rather
than carry them over beyond the sea-
son. They are exercising the same
policy in regard TO sleds. which can be
used only when there are moderate or
heavy SHOWS, although in the past they
were always bought in advance OF
Christmas time so as to be ready then
Another evidence of the forethought
and intelligent thinking on the ten
denotes of buying as influenced by the
pecularities OF the times is the very
few future orders which the retail
dealers are placing for goods to De
used in outdoor sports next spring ana
summer. 1t is not only that a number
IF Young men who usually indulge in
outdoor sports will be serving the gov
eminent in one form or another, but
there is q general recognition Of the
fact that the tendency OF the times IS
70 lessen interest in general in all
sports, because the war is becoming
more and more the dominant factor
in public thought and interest. For
instance. the status of baseball next
season is still on the knees of the gods,
and no dealer cares to speculate on
that uncertainty and is either not buy
ing at all at present or else placing
orders on a much less proportionate
basis than ever before. Tennis goods
arc much in the same class, and are
being treated after the same fashion.
A peculiar instance of the combina-
ton OF war spirit and high class prices
limiting demand is found in the fall
ing off in the sale of those loaded
shells, known as "trapshooters' loads"
and which are used entirely for shoot
ing clay pigeons. This particular
amusement or sport is kept up large
~ by systematic advertising and
propaganda. But it has grown 10 be
too expensive just now for any extern
sive participation.
The dealers are also guessing good
deal rs to what kind OF goods will
most feel the effect of the economy
and common sense of the times, as ex-
pressed in Christmas presents. Almost
By general consent they are reducing
their advance purchases on that long
line Of articles which hitherto formed
so large a proportion of Christmas
presents. apparently because they were
Of no earthly use to any one, but
merely expressed the spirit of the hol-
iday season. They have also gone slow
on the high priced and fancy articles
in certain lines. say, very expensive
carving knives and forks, because they
know that the people who formerly
used these TO the greatest extent now
have the carving done in the kitchen
by the butler ard with butcher knives.
The trade are fast learning that they
must keep in touch with such changes
in economic and social life as those
affecting the sale of high-priced carv-
ers, If they arc to have what their
customers need and not find themselves
ultimately with overstocks of certain
goods for which there is but little de-
mand and which can be sold only at
sacrifice.

whereas it should be recognized as a
great social force. The spirit of the
time demands large social con-
sclousness. greater intimacy between
the community and the pleasures and
life of the individual. The dance Is
the great communal art And wherever
