In the World of Finance and Trade
NET QUOTATIONS RISE
ABOUT POINT FOR DAY
Activity Chiefly in Speculative Issues.
Close at About Best Prices,

(By the International News Service.
New YORK. May lo.-Further covering
OF short contracts caused by the splen-
did report put out by the United states
steel Corporation and reports Of sue
cesses by the British carried the market
Up about a point today in net quota
tions. Activity was chiefly in specuia-
tive issues
The market opened strong, sold on,
turned dun, gradually gained in aetiV-
ity and advanced so that the close was
at about the best prices. Brokers carry
ing large speculative accounts said that
the short account had been also en-
tirely responsible for the buying as no
investment demand had made its ap-
pearance.
Those who hope for a better market
are looking for some statement from
President Wilson reasuring the country
and especially reassuTing industrial com
panies in connection with war contracts?
The financial community feels that the
taxation program is unnecessarily harsh.
They also feel that the government ought
10 be more definite in its statements re-
garding prices to be paid Agreement on
the draft bill displeased street to the ex-
tent that II eliminates Roosevelt, wan
Street had counted on Roosevelt stirring
I'D public enthusiasm over the war.
The tax plans. having already made
business men cautious and many having
gone so far as to cancel plans for ez-
tensions of business, it is hard to es-
cape the conclusion that even IL more
liquidation in the stock market be not
caused by this it certainly will not in
spire new purchases.
Steel has goEe to the new high record
price of sS457 a ton, for the eight leading
products as compared with s9O.l9 only two
weeks ago. Building material is at a
prohibitive figure except for urgent work.
As on yesterday, doubt in banking
circles as to the success OF the Liberty
Loan was given as the reason by pro-
fessional traders for covering short con-
tracts II therefore anything should be
done to make the loan more popular its
success would react on the market.

Luxburg Dispatches;
Denounced as Untrue

BUENOS AIRES. December Il.
The Argentine government has
published fifty-seven of the 400
or more dispatches exchanged
between Count Won Luxburg, the
former German minister Mt
Buenos Aires. and the Berlin
government, explaining that only
these have so far been received
from the legation at Washington.
The nature of the dispatches
has caused surprise and pessi-
mism, despite an official note ac-
companying them declaring that
the kilograms contnin untruths.
The text OF the dispatches, how
ever. is much commented upon
because many of Won Luxburg's
affirmatiOns coincide with known
facts and events.
