MARKET NEWS
BY r. Allyn Lewis

The irregularity in the market, es-
pecially in certain of the rails, is be-
lieved to represent German selling. The
general feeling among well posted peo-
pie is for better prices. In COMPARE
son with former conditions-not sim
liar to those but the only one at all
analogous-stock markets have adj
vanced on like occasions. Crucible
Steel and Balwin Loco. have apparent
ly found market, one in the forties
and the other in the sos. The buying
of U. S. Steel was credited to big in
side interests. We hear of big cash
purchases of Beet Sugar. In the event
of war, leather stocks would profit as
much as any other industry. Present
conditions render any railroad trouble
extremely unlikely.
The Rock Island plan is declared
operative and the firm assessment OF
$40 per share is called for March 3
Much uncertainty prevails in the COM
modify market. Certain large interests
believe that our action means the quick
ending of the war. This uncertainty
is especially noticeable in the copper
market whose high pirce is predicted
entirely on war conditions.
War stocks have come into theil
own.
1t is very evident that the stree
believes that war such as we nigh
have with Germany is bull card ant
not a bear card. After three selling
days and the big decline we have had
| the market is pretty hard one t.
| break Stocks were offered down ms
before the afternoon rally took place
| but none was dislodged.

will be declared and that with German

AN ENGLISH LEGAL JOKER

If anyone thinks that this is the
only country capable of some asinine
laws. let him listen to the following
taken from the English Bills of Ex-
change act, 1882, section IA:
"(A) When the last day of grace
falls on Sunday, Christmas day, Good
Friday or a day appointed by royal
proclamation as a public fast or
thanksgiving day. the bill is. except in
the case hereinafter provided for. due
and payable on the proceeding bust
ness day; OBJ when the last day of
grace is a bank holiday (other than
Christmas day or Good Friday under
the Bank Holidays act, 1871, and acts
amending or extending il, or when
the last day of grace is a Sunday, and
the second day of grace is bank hol-
iday. the bill is due and payable on
the succeeding business day"
According to the construction of
this law, last year, when Christmas
day fell on Monday, succeeded by the
usual English bank holiday on Tues
day bills due on December 20 or "a
were payable on December u, but
bills due on December Is were pay
able on December 22.-Wal Street

SCHOOL FOR BANK PRESIDENTS

The Fifth Avenue bank of this city
known among bankers and banking
institutions as the school for bank
officers and its record proves its title
to the name. Theodore HetZler, who
was last year elected to the presi-
dency Of the Fifth Avenue bank, be-
gan his career as bank messenger
twenty-siX years ago in the instltu-
ton of which he is now president.
From his modest start as messenger
he worked his way up through all the
various departments.
Mr.. Hetzler is not alone in his posi-
ton Of having risen from the ranks.
At the time of his elevation to the
presidency there were four members
of the board of directors of the Fifth
Avenue bank who had begun their ca
reers as messengers. These were be-
sides the president, the late j, G.
Cannon, formerly president of the
Fourth National bank William H.
Porter former president of the Chem
zeal National bank, and now of the
firm of j. =. Morgan and company,
and e. f. Fancher, first vice president

WHAT is A HORSEPOWER?

What is a "hOrse power. Has II
any relation to the pulling power of
a horse? A contemporary answers
the question thus: IF a horse walks
two miles per hour and hauls a load
which requires 1S1 pounds pull to haul
it, the horse will be developing one
horse power. 1t is also figured that
sometimes a horse will pull about
one tenth of his own weight. In actual
work, a horse would be working too
hard to develop one horse power for
ten hours a day. 1t must be remem-
bered that many horses can develop as
high as five or six horsepower for
short periods of time. Outlook.

Depression in the wheat trade was
evident from the start.
Persistence of the rumors of a for
NAL notice from Berlin of direct hos
tilities against the United States
turned the wheat market decisively
down grade in the last half of the SEES
sion. Denials that there was in sight
any confirmation for the rumors pre-
vented any radical setback in values,
but failed to check the spread of bear
ish sentiment. Extension of railway
embargoes east of Chicago acted also
as handicap on the bulls.
Assertions that as a war measure
large contracts for alcohol had been
let by the United States government
put strength into the corn market
Oats were weakened by the breaks in
wheat values.
