GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
A Traders Market.

1t was perhaps an evidence Of the
type OF market wall Street expected
yesterday that so-called specialtles
should move often at variance with the
remainder of the list. The variance in
this instance was that OF having def
mite trend, either upward or downward,
for the net result OF the days operations
was just what had been expected by the
speculative community, only not quite
so much. The day began with de-
volopment in the week end news arising
from the stand taken by organized labor
as to the ultimate wage to be paid. But
the public was not Interested and wall
Street was divided as to the particular
direction in which securities prices
would eventually turn. In fact wall
Street IL still somewhat divided not only
as to securities prices but as to COM
modities prices the cancellation OF war
orders, the resumption of peace business,
the solution of the problem Of rebuilding
and rcmapping Europe and Asia and the
consummation of the Marine deal"

One Agreement.

On one topic the speculative COM
munity found 1t easy TO agree. That
was money. 1t was tight and controlled.
Yet even here the uncertainty that
threads through all opinion was to be
noted. There will be no easy money
until February, said one student OF af-
fairs. This was the most specific time
limit estimated. But 1t met with objec-
ton from others whose outlook upon
the market and its restraints or lack OF
them Is equally as broad. Conservative
men placed the limit well beyond that
month and connected II up with the time
when the peace conference in France
would approach its end. What man has
been named, Said this student, for the
peace conference who Is fitted to settle
the Balkan question? And what man
named whose experience makes him
available to readjust international eX-
Who can tell how long the
control of industry will pre-
vail to sustain commodities prices?
Until these questions are answered how
can the money control see its way clear
to lifting the ban upon speculation? The
vista would seem to have had its brief
reflection in yesterdays market

the comment of an official OF the COM
pany that I'VE cannot have a meet

their own conclusions was made Just
before the afternoon rally. As to that
rally it must not be deduced from It
that the deal Is on" for those who be-
lleved that the deal was off" had been
too deliberate in expressing their beliefs
in the market. Yet 1t might well have
meant more than the mere covering op-

for the decline For it would appear that
one of the details OF the deal" that had
up to date remained uncertain now had
been cleared up. A difference between
two groups OF bankers interested in the

ence was still In allegiance it were timely

DID 1t decline? Because OF prohibition?

would benefit. And now prohib;linn

The Marine Deal.

at the opening what It had lost under
the severe criticism at the end of last
week rumor would have 1t that 1t was
due to a change in the official WASH
ington view of the proposition to sell the
companys British tonnage. But that was
not sufficient to restrain those whose
mind was centred on the movements Of
the directors. The decline set in. With
that came the announcement that a spe-
cial meeting of the directors was called
for shortly after IL o'clock. The con-
illusions reached by the directors were
not dvulged, but the stock rose during

directors seem to have lost their effect
upon the conclusion OF the deal" It
Is British company which owns the
ships whose sale had been considered
these many months But the stock Of
that company is held by an American
company. SO that the question at issue
is one Of title, which may need court
decision to solve the difficulty. The ques-
ton of actual title to the ships has been
raised by both the British and Ameri-
can Cove :nments, and II were difficult
to perceive just how the deal" can be
contaminated through the extraordinary
meetings OF the directors, which, it is to

purpose of making a traders market a

pass the camp. the Irishm8n would
have something TO say to him and

he was saying. |, was found he
said each time. We certainly did
give you Germans hell at the Battle
of the Marne." On reporting the
matter to the guard. the Irishman
was promptly notified this would
have to be stopped, but like the
Irish. the order inspired him to
even more activity. Finally the,
Irishman was told he would have i
to swear allegiance to Germany or
be shot. Figuring that a live
Iris hman had chance, but a dead |!
one none at all, he took the oath |
The ceremonies being over, heE
tur ned to a German officer saying
Il am now German. The
officer replied, Yes and entitled to
protection the same as any Ger
man." The Irishman then replied.
"Well. them Irish certainly give us
