In the World Of Finance and Trade
STOCKS GAIN AVERAGE
OF 2 POINTS FOR DAY
Volume of Trading Large on New
York Exchange-Public Absent.

tBy the International News serviceo
New York, Jan. l6-Professional buy
ing of stocks in Wall Street today caused
sharp advance that was held to the
very close. Net gains for the day ran
from fractions to as high as 3, and
points. The average gain was about
points. The volume was large and the
public was absent Most OF the business
I was done by telephone from the offices
: OF large operators.
Reasons for the advance were purely
technical The chief one seemed to be
the necessity for preparing the Street for
the new British loan of S3oo,Oo0,0oo, Issue
or which is expected next week. Bonanza
earnings to be reported by the United
states Steel Corporation and by Republic
iron were much discussed. Extra divi-
dends are expected from several corpo-
rations. But with all the gossip few new
facts regarding any corporation were
brought to light The market advance
represented chiefly covering of short
contracts.
Reason for Selling Steel.
Ear in the day the Street was full
OF re orts that Europe was becoming
amazingly efficient in the manufacture Of
steel as a result OF the war. 1t was
shown that the capacity of the United
states, which had averaged 27,o0o.ooo tons
100000 tons by the end of this year.
This Increase of capacity in the United
states is equal to the average fve-year
capacity Plus the total present capacity
or Germany and England. These figures
, Tere given as a reason for selling steel.
She stock advanced 50 in United States
Steel. United States Rubber, which has
been well bought recently, was covered
by those professionals who raided 1t last
week Announcement was made that
American International Corporation had
taken an interest in the company with
the intention of getting the business OF
Transporting its raw rubber from the
East Indies. Other important interests
entered the board and the Street forgot
that Rubber was bad stock. The fact
that the new bond issue is twice over
subscribed was an Illuminating factor.
Tremendous Western Drive.
Plans "a known to be under way for
a tremendous drive on the west front by
the British as soon as the weather per
mtts- While all the ammunition neces-
sary Is on the ground, inquiries are max
ing here for large additional supplies
This means more business for the United
States Industrial Alcohol Company. In
addition to this influence, alcohol stock
was inspired by the fact that some OF
the directors want to pay a stock dfvi-
dend Of 100 per cent and thus capitalizing
the additions to the plant that have been
made since the war began.
The ancient report of acquisition Of
Crucible by the Bethlehem Steel Corpo-
ration was current again. Strength OF
Crucible Is easily accounted for by the
Weh-known fact that the company in
the last twelve months has earned more
In actual cash than the present quota

Garment workers here are out on

fingers of one hand), has issued an
injunction fOrbidding the UniOnists
from doing almost everything except

by this judge. The garment workers
