Rise of Steel Foundries.

Whether or not the directors OF the
American Steel Foundries decide at their
meeting December 5 that It were ad-
visable 10 announce the plan OF issuing
new stock for old. the effect OF the
knowledge Of the plan has been plain in
the market. With regard to that lead
ing broker before the opening yesterday
morning informed his customers that
were Steel Foundries TO go to 95 with
out n great volume OF business IL would
carry no meaning. II is not n mystery
market, for the frankness OF the officials
early last spring. when the stock ranged
around &c, served to inform the public
that some directors favored dividing the
huge war profits by means OF issuing
three shares of new common for one
share Of the existing stock. These di-
rectors wished also TO put the new issue
on per cent. annual dividend basis.
What significance attached to the de-
cline that followed after 95 was touched
yesterday might well have been learned
through tedious inquiry among the sos
called professionals as TO the price at
which they had previously been bought
Or could II have been that future events
have cast the usual shadow? The rea-
son for the original plan was that the
company had made large profits from
the war--as other steel companies have.

Money restrictions remained in force.
Though It was remarked that the re-
strictions were effective only against
buying and that It did not by any means
increase the total OF brokers' loans to
sell, the Interpretation placed upon the
apparent withdrawal of public interest
was that the public did not want to
sell. However that may be, II did not
relieve the restraint of action felt from
continued restrictions. whose removal is
by no means made a matter Of immediate
expectation by the events to come In
the next few weeks The first consid-
Grafton Is that tomorrow falls due the
payment of some 1921 100000 in this
district on the Fourth Liberty Loan, of
which all apparently is to be paid. There
is to be some relaxation in regard to
money. but 1t Is of the sort that would
rather make the continuation of the reg
ulations as to loans for speculation very
logical This relaxation will be made
with regard to new corporate bonds,
Of which only a few planned have been
issued. 1t meets two needs. that of
the patent demand for investments and
that of the financing essential TO a re-
sumption OF active peace business.

what Is the Matter,

AS TO countless queries that have been
made concerning the difficulty in the
movement of AllIs-Chaliners common
stock the records of the company's bust
ness might well furnish the reply. Ac-
cording to the latest statement of In
come, net earnings after tax deductions
amounted to$l3.SO n share on the COM
mon stock hbr the nine months ended
September 80 last. which would not APP
pear very poor when compared with
$3.50 in the corresponding period Of
1917. Whatever the estimate of the an
nual earnings based on that report, 1t is
understood that the net result OF the
entire year will show about SIS n share.
The untitled orders announced as for the
end OF September amounted to s32.3S2,-
1886. Most OF the business of the con-
Germ Is sublet TO 1t from other manufac-
turing companies. notably the Westing-
house Electric and Manufacturing Com
pany. 1t is engaged in war work TO the
extent of 100 per cent OF It's capacity,
which may be changed under new con-

Ford's Orders a Factors

When It was heard that the Ford Mo-
tor Car Company had planned to build
$4,000 cars for passengers the shares OF
Transue & Williams and of United Alloy
Steel became active" Indeed the ac-
tlvity preceded the actual publication of
the precise size OF the new business, and
inasmuch as both of these concerns have
drawn a great portion OF their trade
from the Ford company Wall Street was
informed that the market for their
shares was and would be active and
strong. The change after yesterdays
trading might have been strength. United
Alloy Steel advanced as much as an

nained unchanged from the closing

Maximum and Minimum Limits.

In full membership the money commit

meeting Yesterday afternoon. Benjamin
Strong. Jr., governor OF the reserve bank,
after the meeting said that no action had
been taken and that no statement was

situation appeared unchanged. But It
was learned that the committee dis
cussed the recommendations of the Stock
Exchange committee that maximum and
minimum limits be placed on brokers'
plans, so that there might be trading
leeway." 1t was understood that the
committee was inclined to favor the plan,
which would probably give some mod

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Trading REDUCED.

What the day brought forth for the
speculative world was more poignantly
matter of ndifference--more poign-
antly because Of the influence on the
brokerage business Of the lack OF public
interest. There has been a gradual re-
duction OF the, volume of transactions
since the common Joy Mt the cessation
OF hostilities found its only vent in emo
tional celebration last week. But the
one consolation in the situation Is that
at least the trading was twice as heavy
as II was when the midsummer dulness
held the market for a protracted period.
To the extent Of the cause for such COM
fort II might be said that the term PRO
fesaonap' with which the trading was
labelled was mitigated In its meaning.

WAR CRISIS HAS COME

With the slight touch OF war sacrifices

serve, we tan easily imagine how much
worse how desperately desperate -
may be conditions in Germany which
for more than three years has been
almost wholly cut of from her usual
channels OF trade, and which has
thrown her whole industry so com
pletely into waging war.
The news that great strikes are now
in progress there and are apparently
growing in magnitude every day, is not
as surprising as is the fact that the
German workingmen have for 50 long
a time bent themselves beneath the
sword There is danger in crediting as
full truth all the dispatches which come
by way OF Switzerland regarding con
ditions in Germany There is undoubt.

GARFIELD TEA

1t is pretty generally agreed that the
scarcity of coal in the yards of retail
dealers and in the bins of consumers
was due to Garfield and the rest of the
Fuel Administration Last summer
when every mine should have been
working at full capacity, production
was discouraged by fixing too low a
price at the nine and when every CON
sumner should have been laying in a
winter supply, the Fuel Administra-
ton discouraged early buying by ad-
vising the people to delay their pur-
chases. Garfield was appointed by
President Wilson, whom he had sup
ported actively in two political cam
paigns. The Garfield policies in dis
Couragng coal production and distri-
button last summer had the authority
OF Presidential sanction. The people
had right to depend upon the assur-
ances received from such high official
sources.
When the country faced a fuel fam
inc in mid-winter and people were
suffering for want of coal in their
homes, Garfield ordered a shut down
of industry for fourteen days, in order
to Save the situation. Save from
what? Why, save it from the effects
of Garfeld's policies. Nothing more
nor less. Garfield is to get great credit
for saving the country from himself.
