LOCAL AND FOREIGN MARKETS
Reoiew of the Week
BY Financial Editor.

Rates recently have been approx
mately six percent with loans a lit
tie more dihicult 10 negotiate than
heretofore. and there is hardly any
likelihood of an easier money mar
ket until after the loan has been
subscribed and paid for In the
meantime, congress Is preparing
some additional legislation, which
will necessarily affect business. par
ticularly the price-fixing bill which
is intended TO regulate prices on
many leading commodities.
The passing OF the railroad bill,
as well as the finance corporation
bill. are confidently looked forward
TO as helpful and should under ordi-
nary circumstances be regarded as
favorabl from the market stand
point: First, because it will remove
many uncertainties that now prevail.
and secondly, construction and i'm
provement as we'll as the financing
by railroads will proceed in an or
DERBY manner
The statements OF corporations
that are now being issued from day
to day. showing the net results of
their 1917 operations, are in most
Instances more than satisfactory,
meeting every expectation OF stock
holders and showing a very healthy
and strong financial condition. Some
of the companies are increasing
their dividend disbursements.
During the early part OF the week
the transact on the stock ex-
change were on a fairly large scale
There was ample evidence of an in
creasing public interest and extend
ing into issues that heretofore have
been inactive The recovery that has
taken place is quite substantial in
many issues. and the question nat
urally arises now whether a further
advance may be looked for immedi-
ately. Upon this there is considera
Die doubt at the present time. In
considering the probabilities of "A
further advance we must bear in
mind the fact that up to the present
time a good deal of the optimism
was based on the hope that there is
a reasonable likelihood of the war
ring nations reaching basis for
peace negotiations. II is, therefore,
we'll 10 keep this in mind how as an
important factor. because if we are
10 abandon this idea, then one OF
the reasons for the advance disap-
pears. That stocks intrinsically are
worth present prices there can be no
doubt, for il is well known that
many Of the corporations whose
stocks are traded in daily on the eX-
change have within the past two
years added 20 their surplus as
much, il not more. than the present
selling price Of the stock For illus
tration, the Republic Iron & Steel
Co. added 20 its surplus as a result
of 1916 and 1917. the equivalent Of
over $50 per share. other compan-
les are making similar showing
therefore. there can hardly be room
for discussion upon the point Of
value.

The week has been interesting IN
many respects Developments were
mainly Of a favorable character 50
far as business Of the country is con-
cerned. The ending Of Monday holi-
days on account Of fuel shortage was
very encouraging Considera bic
progress was made in clearing the
railroads OF congested traffic. The
EN- 6argo was removed on more lines
and II now looks as though in the
near future normal conditions may
he anticipated or, at least. as near
I ly normal as would be consistent
with the abnormal war conditions.
During the early part OF the week
there was considerable discussion in
financial circles as 20 peace pros
poets. The feeling was very optimis-
tic, bordering almost on confidence
This feeling. however. was rudeIy
shaken during the mid-week. when
! the report Of EIihu Roots speech
was published I'm which he stated
that the public should beware Of
peace discussions; that there are no
negotiations under way. and that as
matter OF fact, there is no basis at
the present time for peace negotia-
/ TONS that whetf or Intentionally. or
otherwise. talk of peace terms now
in the press and public gatherings.
serves only to distract the attention
OF the people from what should be
their one and only object-winning
the war. This coming from a man
so high i'm public esteem should be
regarded as almost as official as il
coming direct from the white house,
and il is more than likely that the
public will now accept this statement
as conclusive. unless the German
chancellor should surprise the world
by more pacific statement than is
now hoped for.
n important factor in the mark ct
now is the coming bond issue by the
government. Discussion along this
line is now assuming more definite
form. and from semi official state
ments published il may be almost
taken for granted that four and one
half percent will be the rate. This
/ has had a beneficial effect on the
existing bonds which have improved
substantially. and will no doubt con-
tinue TO advance, and. in fact, should
reach approximately par. at some
time between now and the next is
sue. This. in turn. has also had a
beneficial effect on the value of An
glo-French five's, which have re-
covered 10 a moderate extent. and
have reached new high level since
| the recent decline. So far as our
! finances are concerned. the coming
issue is already having its effect, be-
cause Of the fact that bankers are
now diverting part of their re-
sources toward the subscription to
the short term loan. put out by the
treasury department, and which will
be utilized in the payment Of the fl
nal subscription TO the next Liberty
loan. The result naturally is a grad
ual tightening in the money market.
