Despite the upward reaction of many
shares yesterday, II was the firm con-
v.C'lon OF conservative men in the finan-
ola, community that the reasons for
restrained speculation in the stock mar
Het remained unchanged. That viewpoint
as set forth clearly by a member OF
one Of the leading firms. He noted four
items. that have had their separate in
hueuces in late declines - still being
factors for careful market commitments.
FlrHi, he pointed out, there was the re-
adjustment of commodity prices, with
the appreciation that it would be illogi-
cal in peace to attempt an artificial
minimum price which before peace was
an official maximum From this it fol-
lowed. he thought. that many companies
which at the close of the war were
carry ing heavy inventories faced large
losses Secondly, there was pending new
revenue legislation, the first effect of
which he saw in the reduction Of copper
company dividends because taxes made
up forty per cent. OF the cost OF some
commodities and promised to continue
to DO so FOR long time Third, he said.
there vas the uncertainty in the railroad
situation, more unsettl:ng because so
few men in Congress were out SToken in
favor OF one fair course, which he con-
s.Cered was the policy of control for
tweUty-one months after the siEn'ng Of
peace in n way to assure the roads full
benefits of the points pledged by Presi-
dent Wilson in taxing them over. And
fourth. he found the d Stur1ing spread
Of Bolshevism more serious because II

Back with Peace Contract.

American Linseed common yesterday
showed pronounced strength. ending the
day with a net advance OF full point
above the previous close, The recent
action of that issue had been attributed
20 the knowledge OF large earnings of
subsidiaries not revealed in the official
statement Of the parent company. But
Yesterdays movement was given new
explanation by conservative interests in
close touch with the Companys affairs.
II was said that the rise was due to
the fact that President Adams Of the
company had returned from his Euro
polu trip with contracts concluded in
Eng and for the sale of "A large amount
Of oil cake from the Inventories Of the
company and its subsidiaries, at prices
indicating large profits, as compared
with the low figures at which those ma

II was reported in the Street yester-
day that the United States Steel Cor
poration had been buying its common
shares in recent declining markets for
the account of employees subscription
after the first of lie year. Within
week. It is understood. the price at which
the employees will be offered the stock
will be announced. The spread Of the
report recalled that only a week ago one
of the large houses, often supposed to
represent the corporation, had been ac-
tive, first on one side of the market and
then on the other. At the time 1t was
suggested that this was merely the tao
tics of some large operators who wished
to disguise heir position with regard to
the so-called leader. Whether or not
that was the meaning of the prominence
taken by the house in last weeks mar
kots. It was more or less facetiously re-
marked that Wall Street is usually sur
pr!sed at the high price fixed for the en-
ployees purchases.

Relief Needed.

Whatever the Governor elect may do,
people in the financial dis
trict are OF the belief that some type of
relief from State and municipal authori-
ties Is the next development in traction
affairs. 1t was even intimated that ac-
ton might be taken over the heads of
the municipal officials. But it was the
opinion OF some persons In the Street,
who had studied the situation, that It
vas not actually as hopeless as the
market values of the local fractions
issues seemed to indicate although it
was thought that without relief one or
two of the less important companies
might seek the protection OF the court
n order to save what credit they had
left. The fact that New York was vir-
tuaily the only large city that had not
recognized the necessity of increased
fares to meet extraordinarily high costs
was taken as significant of a hopeful
outlook.

In the heavy bond business of the last

OF Liberty bonds 1t was noted yesterday
that lines of people were in waiting at
houses that had stated that they would
give cash for the Government bonds.
The many complaints against that prac-
tice went unheeded. and In one office the
commission charged for relieving the
holders OF their bonds was fifty cents on

or one per cent on its face value. For
