The feeling among the club owners,

$l50,000 on the 1918 bob-tailed season,

August as a result of the work or

he has no information on the individual
losses and the club owners themselves

President Hickey believes the com

club will be a huge success in 1918.
Forty influential business men in Min

STOCKS RALLY SHARPLY,
METALS IN THE LEAD

NEW YORK, December Sat the
immediate opening the list presented
rather firm tone, due to a show of
strength in the rails and specialties,
but :trading soon became irregular
again and reactions were in order,
oils-and shipping shares leading the
way.
Before the end of the first hour the
market rebounded with considerable
spirit and general advances in rails,
equipments. metals and other stocks
followed, with better gains than the
market has experienced for several
days.
Indications of temporary easiness of
money until such time as the govern
ment shall again come into the mar
ket for billions probably had as much
to do with the better feeling as any,
thing else. while it may be that the
Indications for the return of the rail-
roads to their corporate owners were
given creoence and helped the situa-
ton materially. Then. too, there is
another side that welcomes the con-
tinuation Of federal control until such
time as Congress shall. in it's wisdom,
determine otherwise.
Leading Brokers Views.
Here is the way a leading Wall
street broker digests the message
through Wall street glasses:
Half loaf is better than no bread.
1t would have been disastrous for
probably so per cent of the country's
railroad mileage to be turned back to
private control under the auspices of
the interstate and state commissions
at a time when obligations to the
royarnrnpnt are so large.
I'VE may be thankful that federal
control under guaranty Will con-
tinue until such time as Congress may
determine what is best to be done. as
the President. who is in position Of un-
questioned power under the control
act. does not himself know, as he
leaves for a questionable foreign
mission, what the best interests Of
country and people demand. y,
Railway Situation Unsettled.
"As to the railroad situation as a
precipitated is neither bullish nor
bearish, but it is unsettled, and, more
than anything that has happened
since federal control. it emphasizes
the need for stockholders of the roads
to study the operating resources of
an individual problem with railroad
stockholders, not a general question.
Eventually the strong roads will
emerge stronger and the weak roads
weaker. but the weak roads may be
thankful that the change is not now.
THAT part of the message dealing
with the conditions of business other
than the railroads seems to be bear
ish, for it brings home to us the
great problems of readjustment. 1t
is not only the nation that confronts
such questions"

Business in bonds on today's session

In this special group, City and
Suburban Railway 5s at IS and Met
ropolitan Railway 5s at 81 were
prominent, both secured on lines

at an advance. No City and Suburban
5s have sold this year. In 1917 they
