way way. Company for or the first week Kin IN

or H.2S per cent.
The following analysis Of the New
York market situation was received
late yesterday afternoon by w. B..
HIbbs & Co., from g. B. Chaplin &
Co.. their New York correspondents:
The resumption OF bullish activity
in the market today had a good deal
to do with the more aggressiveness
with which the movement to-insure
the successful fotation OF the $2,OO0.-
suned In all street and banking cir
cles. The greater necessity of the
loan being largely oversubscribed was
recognized, not only for foreign, but
home sentiment There never has been
any doube in Wall Street that the loan
would be a success, but there has
been considerable disappointment up to
this time about the failure of some
sections Of the West and South to se-
cure subscriptions allotted to those
centers. With only two days more to
go before the closing OF the subscrip-
ton lists the aggressive attitude which
developed in this city to raise New
York States total subscriptions to
81, 900. 900, 900, or half of the total issue
against its allotment Of $500 900 900, was
a matter Of general comment through
out the financial district
1T was this development and also
the action Of the United States Steel
Corporation at a special meeting of
the directors last evening in declaring
the regular quarterly dividend OF
IA per cent, and 3 per cent extra on
the common stock for the next quarter
six weeks in advance Of the scheduled
time for such action, together with
another distribution OF per cent spe-
cial dividend for the Red Cross fund,
which broadened out the stock mar
ket 50 strongly today from the open
ing. The market Is now discounting
the anticipated heavily oyersubscribed
liberty bond issue"
