Gossip Shows Bullish Tendency.

The street gossip is especially bullish
on Mexican Petroleum and Baldwin
Locomotive, the talk now being of an
impending stock issue by the latter
corporation in bringing capitalization
in line with real investment.
Immediately, on the opening of the
list these predictions of better market
conditions were realized in the in
dustrial group. the rails dragging by
reason of the especial weakness in St.
Paul, and yet Reading scored a frac-
tional advance; but the rails were a
negligible quantity, the industrials
monopolizing the activity.
Steel common started fractionally
higher and scored rs advance and held
steadily. Baldwin Locomotive did bet
ter. scoring 8 points advance and hold

.|NDUSTR|ALS ACTIVE,
RAILS ARE NEGLECTED

NEW YORK. February 26.-Traders
generally were inclined to look for a
stronger market today, the converse
tion at the hotels and brokers' offices
at the close yesterday being indicative
of a firmer undertone. 1t was said
that fully $10.o0o.o00 of money in bro
kers' hands awaited investment in call
loans at the end of Monday.
Recovery also was presaged on the
prospect Of an early passage of the
railroad bill. with the promise that the
war finance measure would then have
free field.
Bankers still show some little false
pride by not using freely the redis-
count privileges of the federal system.
even when the money situation would
seem to demand it. 1t Is probable that
some of the leading institutions will
stif1e this pride through necessity and
make free use of rediscounts. the rul-
ing rate giving ample opportunity to
use the reserve banks funds to fine ad-
vantage.

That millions Of Red Cross knitters
may know the plans of the Red Cross
for future knitting, George f. Scott.
acting manager of the American Red
Cross. has issued the following state
ment:
when the war industries board
some time ago advised the Red Cross
that future production of knitting yarn
would be greatly reduced we imme-
diately commenced to purchase all
yarns suitable for our knitting. AS
a result w have today in stock or on
order 1.400, 900 pounds of yarn for dis
tribution to our chapters. II is hop
ed that we may obtain some additional
yarn from wool unsuitable for gov
eminent uses. The expected total will
however be considerably below the
ten million pounds used last year.
While the total of yarn we can secure
Is being determined, we are studying
how to use our supply to produce only
garments which are most essential.
When a conclusion is reached we will
announce our full program of knitting.
In addition TO this stock of yarn,
the Red Cross has ready for distribu-
ton 1900, 900 sweaters, 174,0O0 muf-
flers. $4,000 wristlets, 22S, 900 helmets
and 1928, 900 pairs of socks, a total
Of 3.674,00 articles. We are hopeful
that these and such additional gar
ments as we shall be able to make
will enable us to meet the more ur-
gent requirements of our men during
the coming winter. In this cOnnec-
ton it will be of interest to the women
who have been knitting to know that
from September 1, 1917 to June 30,
1913 the Red Cross distributed $685.
600 knitted garments to the army and
navy of the United States. During the
same period $40. 900 knitted articles
were sent to the Red Cross commits
siOners in France and Italy for dis
tribution to soldiers, sailors and
civilians.
"At the request of the war indus
tries board, with which the Red Cross
works in close cooperation, we have
urged chapters and individual workers
not to buy wool in the open market
but to secure their materials through
our department of supplies"

WE MUST" WIN

Herbert Quick, the able editor of

Never since the Turks threatened
to overwheltn Europe. perhaps not
even then, was the world ia such
danger as now. Germany is not yet
defeated. We must defeat her this
year. Unless we win, our place in
the world is lost and our history as
one of the 'servient nations begins.
We must withhold nothing from the
support of the war. We must give
our sons. We must bring forth food
10 abundance, multiply our labor to
that end. We must give into the
treasury of the United States every
cent we can spare. This summer
the support of the war is up to the
farmers; aud Uncle Sam has never
called upon the farmers in vain!'
