: Steel broke two points. and Ma
crime, pfd., advanced IS Strength of

~ture. The general market was heavy

Ding of Steel was particularly notice
Able. as 1t came out in large blocks,
suggesting the operations of impor-
estant interests The street got the
Impression that some bad news will
make its appearance early this year.
Announcement that Russia has re-
sconsidered and will resume peace ne
sgotiatiOns with Germany was a de-
epressing influence.
= The most important influence
.hgainst the market was the announce
sment that the government plans to
take over the financing Of all cor
operations and even actual manage
sSnent of the steel companies. For
sthe latter there Is no official state
afnent to justify even the rumor. The
report arose from the fact that the
-steel companies have been handicap
sped for lack of coal and labor. and
that it would be the logical thing for
.the government to take charge in
sorder to enforce supplies of both.
= 1t seems probable now that a
sfinance corporation will be organ
-ized by the government to see that
no capital is used for any purpose
that will not help win the war.
This. on the other hand, would
smean that corporations having
notes and bonds falling due would
be absolutely assured of easy
Financing and, therefore, the action
of the government should be bull
.ish. Its bearish feature lies in the
fact that it will mean further re-
striction of the stock market. II
will deprive the market of the ma
nipulative activity that always ae-
companies stock issues.
The market was still also under
the influence Of the announcement
that the government would con-
tinue to collect income tax against
stock dividends. This will prevent
the payment of many stock divi-
dends that had been planned.
Advance of DistilleTs is due
largely to the strength of the bonds
of company. 1t begins to look as
though the Distillers Company
might come out of the war with alb
solutely no debts funded or float
ing. In the meantime it will be
developing its industrial business
so that loss OF the whiskey trade
will not put it out of operation.
Wall Street is full of vague ru-
mors regarding Mexico and of news
to come from that quarter within
q week. Buying OF Mexican Pc
troleum has been particularly good
recently but serious trouble in
Mexico might easily be a reason
for buying the stock.
