Mills Building, Is Broad St.

Sentiment in speculative and in
vestment circles during the past
week has continued cheerful, with
stock and bond prices holding firm
and in many instances rejecting sub
stantial improvement. The volume
of activity has been somewhat below
normal, owing to a general DISPOSE
tion on the part Of the trading cle-
ment to await the outcome of devel-
opments at Washington and abroad.
Railroad stocks were much more
prominent in the dealings on tne
Stock Exchange, the activity in this
group being stimulated by the agree
ment reached in Congress on the
terms of the railroad control bill,
which will very shortly be put upon
the Federal statute books. Some of
the better class Of investment rails
recorded gains Of 1 to points in re-
sponse to aggressive buying on the
assumption that enactment of the
railroad control bill will remove COM
pletely for the remaining period of
the war the uncertainties that have
surrounded the railroad situation
since the United States entered the
war. Another factor That has proven
beneficial to the securities market
has been the shaping up of the war
finance corporation bill, with the
elimination of some of the dangerous
features. Industrial corporations
have continued to make striking re-
turns of 1917 operations, showing
that despite the inroads of higher
operating costs, abnormal taxation,
fixed prices, labor troubles and other
adverse factors earnings have been
we'll maintained in majority of
cases. This has been an important
influence in restoring confidence in
industrial securities. Developments
in Russia have been something of
drag on the markets, although the
security markets have pretty we'll
discounted all that could possibly
happen in that direction. In fnan-
cisl circles the consensus is that the
disaster that has overtaken Russia
must be accepted as meaning a pro-
longation of the war.
