Additions and Betterments.

The third point made by the attorney
referred to above had to do with add
tons and betterments, and here he found
some support from the railroad men
themselves. who pointed out to the
agents OF Director General McAdoo that
a better understanding might result from
negotiations on TIE subject The rail-
roads feel that the clause permitting the
Government to force a railroad 10 spend
large sums on additions and better
ments which. while OF little value to the
Individual road, would be OF service to the
Government. should be amended so as
not to place the entire burden Of such ex-
penditures on the roads For instance.
road operating in several Eastern
States and having a huge terminal in
New Jersey, near New York. might be
asked to enlarge this terminal at a cost
OF some $4,000, 900 so as to afford bet
ter facilities for other lines now using
Ills roads tracks and terminals. though
the present structure Is sufficient to take
care OF the roads own business for the
next fifty years Such case might
easily arise and the officers of the roads
do not think II fair to charge such huge
expenditures against certain individual
companies when others may escape SINH
lar charges. This point and the clause
on leased lines are tho two under discus
sion, and an agreement Is looked for by
July 20.

The Railroad Contract.

Though the railway executives told TIE
Railroad Administration. according to
ono who was at tho conference last Fri
day. that they were willing to sign the
contract as it stands. they hoped one or
two minor points could be adjusted.
This stand was met with appreciation
by Representatives of the Director Gem
eral and both sides are now adjusting
these slight differences. which are GER
tain to be completed tie first OF next
week. The corporate officers of the roads
expressed scant sympathy with protests
made by counsel OF one OF the associa-
tons OF railroad securities owners,
whose objections can be divided into
three parts. The first, which was a legal
question. was dismissed from considera-
ton at once. The second, which was on
the question OF deferred maintenance.
the railroad heads took TIE stand that
this lawyers arguments were not de-
batable. His contention was that the
less prosperous roads should be treated
on the same basis as the others. though
this point. under TIE contract, Is left to
the fairness OF the Railroad Administra-
ton. The executive officers made II
plain that they did not agree with the
attorneys views and said they were
satisfied with the provisions In tho pres
ent agreement on this point.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
war News Causes Decline.

The selling OF stocks in yesterdays
market might aptly be compared to
the German offensive. with the buyers
likened TO the Allies: in a word. the
sellers were allowed to make some initial
gains on the down side, but strong In
terests took all that was offered and per-
mitted the selling wave TO exhaust itself
The opening of the long expected Ger
man attack was the only explanation for
the decline in prices. for other events
Of financial importance were unchanged
from last week. Tho tax discussion, In
fact, has subsidized with the recess OF
Congress and interest centres entirely in
the military news. Expressions were
heard in every quarter of confidence in
the Allies ability to meet the latest eff
forts OF the German war machine and
great satisfaction was felt over the &C.
ton OF the American troops. As a broker
In touch with large interests put II. "the
selling Of steel was as poor as the buy
ing was good" and though q quiet mar
ket Is looked for during the present en-
gagement on the western 'front.' no serious
disruption OF the security markets is ex-
pected.

stocks Closely Held.

A member of the Stock Exchange,
whose firm handles principally large
investment orders for institutions and
wealthy individuals. says he never knew
time in the history of the financial
markets when stocks were so closely
held as at present. This not only ap-
plies to the standard industrial and
rails, but also to many low priced
securities which are usually inactive
in a market sense. In some cases. he
says. the stock Is actually in the offices
Of brokerage houses. where It is held
for convenience or safety. the owners
being satisfied with their dividend re-
turns from their holdings. Steel COM
mon ia of course the most widely held.
due to the huge number OF outstanding
shares and Its value as an investment.
especially at the present II per cent
annually paid on It. This situation
might be the real explanation Of why
stocks are so hard to buy without
bidding prices UP and also why SO
little stock comes out when prices
go OF.

The money pool will hereafter handle
all call loans, according to q well posted
banker. as well as exercise virtual con-
troll over time money. How long this
arrangement will last depends largely
on the rediscountins business Of the
banks with tho Federal Reserve Bank
though It is quite likely to remain In
force until the banks substantially re-
duce their present Indebtedness to the
Reserve Bank. BY placing the call
money market in the hands OF the money
pool 1t is felt that all borrowers will DO
assured of fair treatment. while at the
same time 1t will be possible to keep a
check on any speculative outburst. Last
weeks bank statement showed that New
York institutions had borrowed over
$500. 100000 from the Reserve Bank on
account Of commercial paper and ac-
ceptances.

Americas BumAtra

American Sumatra's spectacular de-.
cline, like its sensational rise. came I'M
expectedly to the financial community.
though It's recent abrupt drop was
doubtless due to disappointment over
failure Of the directors to take any &C.
ton on a stock dividend at their last
meeting. Great expectations along this
limo had been encouraged by tho per-
sistent advance Of the stock preceding
the conference OF directors, the rise
being partly predicated on hopes OF
valuable rights in addition to an extra
stock disbursement. At its low yester-
day Sumatra was about 81 points un-
der It's high figures a month ago. Shorts
are reported to be finding It more DIM
cult TO cover their commitments than
they expected. which was seen in the
stocks rapid comeback yesterday.

Tobacco Rationing.

With Tobacco stocks generally. how
ever. there may be some interference
with tho industry II the Washington
dispatches regarding a possible ration
ing Of tobacco in this country prove cor
rect. The talk about rationing 10 not
expected to materialize. At any rate
the matter Is still in most indefinite
form. and what effect It would have
on earnings OF tobacco concerns Is
therefore not worth trying TO analyse.
1t Is certain that this news story
had little bearing on the decline
In this group. for In the leading to-
bacco stocks important things are pend
ing. which would temporarily at least
Offset any regulatory measures OF the
