NEW YORK CURB MARKET.

movements again characterized the trading on

below the levels Of the previous close.

BULLS ARTS fail
To FORCE ADVANCE
Wall Street Closed Weak-Amerii-
can Sumatra an Exception.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York, Feb. 21.-Stocks clos
ed weak again today after a ses-
sion in which all the arts of ma
nipulation were employed in vain
to force a resumption of the ad-
vance. Steel closed at the lowest
price of the day, having been lifted
a point away from it's low an hour
before closing. The only strength
that continued throughout the ses-
sion was in Marine common and
that hurt the market rather than
helped it. 1t was evident that pools
were taking profits everywhere.
In the course of the day new
high records for all time was
made by American Sumatra and by
National Enamel High records for
the movement were recorded by
Marine common and Chevrolet.
Liberty Bonds Strong.
An important feature of the day
was the strength of E, As,
especially the second issue, which
at one time sold 1 lie above the
previous days closing. This ad-
vance was accompanied by French
and Anglo-French SIS. The Liberty
bond movement was based on the
announcement by Secretary McAdoo
that the next issue of Liberty
bonds will be at 1-2 per cent,
and Wall Street jumped to the con-
clusion that the next Liberty bond
issue will be 1-2 per cent issue.
Bankers are pleased that the gov
eminent evidently intends to do the
only thing that will keep Liberty
bonds around par-that is raise the
rate.
Marine common was taken up be-
cause 1t is apparent that the direc-
tors intend to protect the interest
OF both clients of stock instead of
preferred only as they were plan
hing a few weeks ago. American
Sumatra is making belated response
to its own earnings, which promises
to be record breaking for the year.
The same is true Of National Enam-
cling. Allis Chalmers has been in
the hands of pools for weeks, but
delay in starting the movement has
probably forced a postponement of
it.
Thinking About War Bill.
Change of the war finance bill
promises to cause some heavy
thinking among the directors over
the country, and Wall Street may
discover that it was not so much a
belief in early peace that put the
stock market up as t was a belief
in easy financing.
Wall Street is thinking seriously
over the Russian affair also. The
size Of the indemnity demanded by
Germany is not important for un-
der present conditions the Huns
might as well make 1t hundreds of
billions as well as four billions, as
1t is believed that Russia will have
to produce, regardless of its per-
sonal feelings.
