.WEEKL Y REVIEW OF TRADE

New York. Oct. .-Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
While trade il large, industry active
and crops returns good, conservatism
seems to be more sharply outlined, the
matter of present prices levels or pos
sible readJustments superinducing
greater caution in making future COM
mitments.
In other words. there 10 q growing
disposition to buy more In consonance
with nearby needs. to guard against
possible downward revisions In prices.
to take account of the effects OF
taxes. and to measure the results
OF large part of the populace shift
ing from peaceful pursuits to those
of war.
At the same time. heavy buying by
the government makes for animation
and counteracts repression In other
lines. and in the centers where cam
tonments have been established re-
markable growth in trade has occur
red. necessitating In numerous In
stances the placing Of recorders.
Ordinary distribution is featured by
good trade In general staple mer-
chandise. luxuries being eschewed and
little is heard of holiday business,
while 1t is also conceded that de-
mand for civilians dress clothing, as
distinguished from workmen's gar
ments, seems to have eased up.
Industry is active, though new buy
ing In the iron and steel trade Is con.
spicuous by its absence, dullness in
tervening, Of course. until the full
schedule Of fixed prices comes out next

WASHINGTON GAS
SHOWS WEAKNESS
Decline Is Feature Of Yesterday.
Local Exchange Session.

The feature Of yesterdays session
of the local stock exchange was the
pronounced weakness in Washington
Gas, probably due to the claim Of
the corporation ofiicisls that IT is dif-
fcuit to conduct sths business with
profit, in view Of the low price at
which they are compelled by congress
sional action to dispose of their pro-
duct.
Reports resembling these have been
given circulation through valuation
proceedings, and through statements
regarding the increase in the cost of
materials entering into the manu-
facture of gas.
In. all seventy-one shares changed
hands, initial sale of the day being
at 50 rs and the final sale at 50 is,
the official closing bid being 6s with
50 rs asked.
The only other transactions were
in Railway ard Electric Is, 5000 at
IA
Today the local stock exchange will
resume Its regular Saturday sessions.
after three months of Saturday holi-
days.
NO session will be held on Monday.
the exchange standing adjourned in
order to give the members. an op-
portunity to attend the great liberty
loan mass meeting to be held at
Keith's Theater at noon on that day.
Members Of the exchange will meet
at the boardroom as usual and will
march in a body to the theater, where
a block OF seats has been reserved
for them.

Of its notes which were held IN large
amounts In London and about to be
come due.
A second Pool.
Then again there was a second pool
organized for q hundred millions IN
gold for the purpose Of enabling mer-
chants and importers TO secure the
means whereby they could make pay
ment for their obligations then matur-
ing In London and elsewhere in En-
rope. In that pool many Of the banks
of the United States participated.
The fve hundred million loan made
by the bankers of the United States
to England and France Jointly did not
involve the organization of a pool. 1t
was practically underwritten by the
American banks. Now 1t is deemed
the part OF prudence for the banks Of
New York to contribute their proper
tionate parts to a money pool, of
which two hundred million Is to be
Immediately available, with more to
come IL that be found necessary. The
management of this pool Is In the
hands of a committee whose member
ship represents some OF the ablest
go VI @"e" tOAhs NWO vi Iii CO Va
whom were associated with the bank
ers' who at an early day and promot-
ers Of public policy organized money
pools.
Formerly much criticism and accu-
sation were heard, based upon the be-
lief that the money power of the
United States was so concentrated at
New York and offered such tempta-
tions to those who possessed this
power as to imperi. business and COM
merce. while at the same time enrich
ing the men who were said to be men,
bers OF the money power. Yet 1t is a
fact that never has there been a
bankers money pool organized In
New York for any other purpose than
to establish bulwarks against panics
in the securities and the money mar
ket. This latest Of pools Is spoken Of
as rejecting the modern spirit of CO.
operation and coordination which has
been so strikingly demonstrated by
the recent relations between the gov
ernment at WASHINGTON and American
finance. industry and Transportation.

STEEL LEADS RALLY

Sharp Recovery Made IN All Issues
But Tobacco Shares.

New York, Oct. G.--Today's market
made sharp recovery in nearly every
issue save the tobacco shares. Short

mon was the leader In q movement
much broader than has lately been
seen.
The early trading was Irregular. A
report gained some credence that
there would be no future extra divi-
dens from the steel corporation. The
bears seized upon this to make a
drive which carried steel down to
16 "a. But later, when the rumor
was punctured. steel shares led .
rally which was general.
Industrials followed the lead Of the
steel shares, and rails reflected the
firm tone OF the market, developing
activity and strength as the day ad-
vanced.
United States Steel common shaded
only 1-s from Its highest in the
closing. with a net gain of IL
points. OF the other steels. Bethle-
hem B gained i IA. while the COM
