Selling OF Steel.

The action of Steel was important in
so far as IL reflected the opinion Of pro-
fessionals that notwithstanding the brill
liant military bulletins there is little
prospect Of the market running away
from present levels. Had any other view
been entertained shorts would have been
more anxious to cover with ~ per cent.
coming Off to-day and in view OF the ap-
preaching two day holiday. AS 1t was
the stock was offered freely. and after
registering slight opening gain receded
under steady selling. There was no EVIL
dence of what is known as bank selling
in Steel, but on the other hand there has
been very little buying OF this character
recently, the market being almost en-
tirely in the hands of traders The con-
tinued stringent money situation, as
emphasized officially yesterday by the
McGarrah statement, was a warning
that unless something decisive occurred
en- European battlefields an extended
rise in security prices would not be per-
mitted at this time. Later. in some cir
cles 1t is put at the middle OF next
month, stocks may enjoy another tempo
rary bulge in connection with the Liberty
bond campaign. but even this depends
on the money market.

panies are still In an investment stage
OF this group the Texas Company In an
important member, and a good analysis
of the company's affairs is presented in
a review prepared by L. w. Wagner 4
Co. This analysis points out that the
Texas Company has increased Its gross
earnings from $25.SS2 900 In the year
ended June 80. 1913. to s75,000.0O (es-
timated) In the twelve months ended
June 80 last The company's present
fiscal year is now the calendar year,
but the June 80 periods are used for
convenience in comparisons. Its net for
dividends has grown from S6,663, 900 to
q pproXimately $4,000. 900, after deduc-
tons for excess profits taxes, an in
crease OF nearly 800 per cent, Earnings
for the current year are expected TO be
about $40 per share on the present
70.000,000 capital. against s35 earned
on S55,0O0,000 capital In the 1917 fiscal
year. The capital has been increased
$44, 100000, or about 40 per cent, since
1919. and at the present 10 per cent.
annual rate dividend requirements are

only $1,620.O00 when 6 per cent was
paid.

MONEY COMMITTEE
WARNS SPECTATORS
Rates on Loans for Excessive
Dabbling in Stocks Will
Be Increased.
PLAN TO CORRECT ABUSE
Gates w. McGarrah Indicates
Policy to Help Conserve
Funds for War Loans.
PLAN TO CORRECT ABUSE

Gates W. McGarrah, president OF the
Mechanics and Metals National Bank
and chairman Of the Money Committee,
issued a warning yesterday that any In
diligence in speculative commitments
would result in such high rates for
money that 1t would correct such con-
dition. Mr.. McGarrah said:
The efforts to stabilize money rates
made since the hrst Liberty Loan was
offered have met with a cheerful and
sincere cooperation on the part Of Dor
rowers and lenders. The Government
in prosecuting the war requires con-
stantly increasing amount of money.
While every effort will continue 10 be
made to maintain rates at the present
level it is thought wise. in view OF tho
present progress OF the allied armies, 10
point out that any disposition to in
dulge in speculative commitments based
on borrowed money must of necessity
lead to an increase in rates that will
prove corrective"
The statement was made public fol-
lowing a meeting yesterday morning ~
the Money Committee and an effort was
made to obtain from Mr.. McGarrah an
additional statement as to whether he
considered the present amount of bust
ness in securities as excessively specu-
lative. but he refused to amplify his
remarks.
1t was learned In other quarters, how
ever, that the statement had the ap.
prevail OF virtually all OF the officers
Of the largest banking institutions In
the financial district and that 1t was de-
cided upon only after mature considera-
ton.
One banker said he could not make
any explanations for Mr.. McGarrah but
that present transactions on the Stock
Exchange could not be considered ex-
cessively speculative. He added that
the statement was undoubtedly issued
as a warning because bankers desire 10
keep the money rate around 6 per cent.
but that this could not be done IL specu-
lators kept increasing their borrowings
for speculative purposes and thus inter-
fered with the Liberty Loan campaigns.
Another banker declared that the
statement was timely because the bank
Ng fraternity wanted to guard agalns;
speculation in stocks on margin South
and West when the prosperity OF these
sections of the country begins to seek
1t was the desire OF the bankers to have
the surplus funds OF the South and West
find a resting place in stocks. but that
the bankers wanted the purchases TO be
paid in full.

Action OF the stockholders of the
American Sumatra Company in ap-
proving the increase OF the capital
stock to sl5,0O0.000 and authorization
OF Is per cent. stock dividend left
the Street uncertain as to what posi-
ton to take. Some traders were re-
ported TO have put out short stock on
the general theory that with the in
crease in the capital stock the market
price would decline. but 1t is more likely
the extra stock dividend. when paid,
will have more effect along this line
than the issuance OF the % per cent.
new stock to present holders at par
The buying was certainly better than
the selling yesterday. and II was re-
ported in some quarters that the in
siders were prepared to take stock on a
scale down. One house was credited
with having very large orders just I'M
der the market, but in trading circles
the sentiment favored the other side.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
A Stern WARNING.

Gates w. McGarrah's stern warning
that II speculative outburst occurred
the bankers might abandon the money
pool and permit rates to seek their own
level bears out what was first noted
here over two weeks ago about the
stringent money situation and checked
the upward movement abruptly, as
yesterdays trading showed. The state
ment by the acting chairman Of the
money committee was not news to the
Street, for It only reiterated what the
Treasury Department had said on sew
eral occasions recently. but It's impor-
lance could not be ignored. In broker
age circles the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that the banks believed a bull
market might easily develop from the
wonderful war news and the attraction
Of steadily rising prices, and they
wished to prevent 1t, for the Govern
ments demands for money are expand
ing rather than contracting and there
Is not enough for both Federal needs
and excessive trading in stocks
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-08-30

The chief topic of discussion in brok-
erage offices yesterday was the state
ment that the bankers money commit
tee disapproved undue speculation, and
though It was believed this announce
ment would serve its purpose 1t was
generally agreed that the markets in
vestment condition was unimpalred
This view was expressed by an impor-
tant broker in these words: Traders
must possess their souls In patience and
accept conditions as war dictates them.
Prices of securities have not fully re-
sponded to the allied victories already
gained. and the market will be able to
absorb the McGarrah statement and
should continue to be a legitimate in
vestment market"
