FIVE YEARS WAR
Most Others Weaken While War
Stocks Begin to Rise.

New York, Feb. 25.-Stocks closed
weak today after a session in which
the downward movement was con-
tinuous in spite of several attempts
to rally 1t by marking up special
ties. Pittsburgh Coal and National
Enameling were the strong features,
both making new high records for
the movement. the latter for all
time. American sumatra also touch
ed high point. The acute weak
lyn Transit. The former made a
new low record. They were influ-
entail not so much because of the
price changes recorded as because
of the reasons given. The financial
world expects all dividends to be
passed by both companies.
The reaction in the stock market
which really began with high-grade
selling a week ago is due as much
to the fact that the whole list has
had a very important advance as to
anything else.
Russia's Failure Lengthenz War.
The net result of what has hap
pened In Russia Is well crystalized
in the sentiment pervading Wall
Street today. to the effect that this
country must now settle down to
i've years of war.
Believing suddenly and ardently
in a long war, Wall Street traders
today began buying war stocks
These securities were strong part
Of the session. Crucible, Industrial
Alcohol, Baldwin, and Steel were all
well taken until the selling pressure
became too much for the new war
party. Even the earnings of nearly
so per cent reported by Baldwin
failed to hold that stock steady.
May Pass Dividends.
st. Paul was hurt by a report that
the dividends might be stopped on
both classes Of the stock. Under the
government guarantee st. Paul will
have an income equivalent to 5.4 per
cent, while the government controls
the railroads. But, as a matter of
fact. in the calendar year 1917 the
company earned q deficit Of is Der
cent on its common stock, which
means that 1t only earned about Der
cent on its preferred stock.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit directors
deferred" the dividend on their stock
until such time as $1,000, 900 of new
financing can be done.
Bethlehem Steel was well taken
throughout the session.
