Railroad Shares
Are Stringer Today

New York, Aug 13.-The Evening
Sun, in its financial comment today,
says:
Railroad shares again held the cen
ter of the stage in today's stock mar
ket, with increased price advances and
greater breadth of dealings than yes
terday. Gains of one to about four
points were recorded. The industrials
were sluggards by comparison.
Trading turned dull in the afternoon
and there were fractional recessions
from the top alike in the rail and in.

and steady.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE

New York. Jan. 25.-Bradstreet's
weekly trade review will say to-
morrow in part:
Business as usual was aband-
oned as a trade slogan in the ter
ritOry east of the Mississippi River
this week, thanks to the Fuel Ad-
ministrator's order closing Industrial
plants for a period of five days and
business in general for one day.
The repression thus developed strik-
ingly contrasts with relatively
smart activity in that part of the
country west of the river Just
named. However. the industries of
the country are all back logged
with heavy orders. principally for
the government
Some slight improvement in the
fuel situation has resulted. Losses
in wages have been offset by re-
equipment in the shape OF pay for
overtime work or by voluntary pay
ments to employees, while at the
same time many commercial con-
GEMS have heightened their work.
ing hours in an effort to make up
for lost time. Notwithstanding the
various cross currents. and taking
the country as q whole, new busi-
ness is OF fairly large volume,
particularly in respect for demand
for staples.

New York, Jan. 2.-Dun'sy Weekly
Trade Review will say tomorrow IN
part:
With the recurrence of severe storms
and eXereme cold in sections OF the
East and elsewhere. the drastic meas
ures adopted to ameliorate the traffic
congestion have not been fully ef-
fective and freight embargoes have
again been resorted to as a means
of expediting shipments of urgently
needed war materials. foodstuffs and
fuel.
Recognition that supplies for strict
ly civilian uses will be more than ever
difficult to obtain. now that outputs
have been still further curtailed, has
prompted efforts among some inter
ests to cover forward requirements at
rising prices; yet sellers are increas-
ingly reluctant to engage themselves
ahead and not few manufacturers are
so largely occupied with government
work that demands from the regular
trade can not even be considered.
The diminution OF the purchasing
power in the East through the clos
ing of shops and factories on specified
days and the consequent loss to wage
earners has already begun to mani
fest itself in some retail branches.
and, though consumers are buying
heavily in the aggregate. final dis
tribution is more and more along con-
servative lines and transactions are
not at the maximum.

STOCKS GO Higher
ON SHORT COVERING
Confidence in Railroad List Re-
stored on Street.
Ry HRoApAN WALL.

New York, Jan. 25.-Coverings. of
short contracts in the Industrial list
and q restoration of confidence in
the railroad list closed the stock
market net higher today in nearly
every issue. The volume of trading.
however, was slight. being confined
almost entirely to professional op-
erations. Peace talk persisted even
in the face of the Won Hertling ad-
dress. The close was at best prices
in most issues.
President Wilson's appointment
of L. r. Stettinius as head OF the
purchasing department OF the mill
tary establishment was accepted by
the Street as a complete answer to
all the criticism In Congress-. Stet-
tinius is a man of wide experience,
having had charge of purchases for
the British government, and IL there
had been a war cabinet he would
probably have been at its head. So
the President has outplayed the pol
iticians. The fight in Congress has
ceased to be a stock market factor.
The railroad legislation has also
ceased to be a great factor. although
1t Is bound to exercise mild infiu-
ence for a time. In order to give
this legislation any great impor-
tance from a stock market point of
view, it would be necessary to i'm
agine that the government had in
tended to be dishonest with the rail-
roads. Nobody really believes that.
The next loan and the big drive in
France are now the leading stock
market factors. Secretary McAdoo
appealed to Congress for prompt ac-
tion on the railroad bill in order
that the people might know the size
of their incomes and thus be able
to buy Liberty Bonds. The same ar
gument applies to the U. S. Steel
dividend.
Because of the bond situation an
effort Is making on the part OF some
interests in both National Enameling
and American Beet Sugar to have ex-
ira dividends paid, although the pres
ent sentiment of the directors Is
against anything of the kind.
Corn Products announced today that
1t would make no report for the
fourth quarter of its year but would
include that quarter in the final re-
port to be made in March.
Announcement today that the deal
for sale Of International Mercantile
Marine ships to a British syndicate
was still on was accepted by the
street as simply additional evidence
that all the directors had not been
able yet to sell the speculative stock
they picked up. The British option
has a day or SO to run.
Tobacco stocks are being picked up
by insiders and particularly Tobacco
Products which is understood to have
purchased another company making a
popular brand OF cigarettes. Booth
Fisheries has suddenly become active
and a pool is working in It on the
theory that meatless days are educat-
ing the public to eat fish more than
ever and that the fish habit, once ac-
quired, will furnish an enlarged per-
manent market for the company's
products.

As soon as the more urgent demand from

there was enough covering to cause rallies Of

The afternoon market ruled quiet and steady,

PeSsimistic opinions from Washington relating
