the war was a precipitate, almost
perpendicular, fall in stock prices,
the industrials which had gone up
the most rapidly in 1916, declining
most severely. The average of the
industrials which had closed in 1916
we'll above 100, dropped to 84.45
when Germany announced her
policy of ruthless submarine war
fare on merchant vessels. That was
in February Railroad stocks at the
same time went in the average to
$3.50. From these low levels SUBJ
stantial recovery occurred in April
after the formal declaration Of hos
tilities, after which the decline be-
gan which continued with slight in
terruptions up to last December.
At the bottom of the 1917 decline
the industrial stock average touched
1920, and the railroad average
65.4O. These compared with high
average prices for the war period
of 1O4.13 and $3.50 respectively.
On the recovery that has since
occurred the industrial average has
risen to almost 80 and the rails
to 70.

New-York tribune., 1918-03-03
Present Position the Security Markets. Trend of Stock and Bond Prices
Equation

TOW much further will the
current recovery in stock
and bond prices carry?
Are we to witness during the re-
naming period of the war repeti-
ton of the wildly speculative stock
markets of 1915 and 1916, when the
prospects Of greatly augmented
profits from war contracts furnished
the handspring for fantastic rises in
stock prices? Are bond prices to go
higher in the face Of further huge
United States government war loan
operations?
These are few of the questions
being pressed for answer in the in
vestment and speculative markets at
the present time. The prescience
necessary to answer them is lacking,
for one reason because no one pre-
tends to say when the war will end.
Banking opinion, always conscrva-
tive, is unusually so just now. Nari-
Gus views are held by financial men
of prominence as TO the future
course of security prices, and it is,
perhaps, significant that the major
ity apparently believe that there can
be no return of the great war mar
.kets of 1915 and 1916, owing to de-
velopments that have occurred since
the United States entered the war.
The equation has been completely
altered. New influences must be
reckoned with that did not exist be-
fore we began to furnish men and
money for the Allied cause. Tighter
money conditions have, for one
thing, taken effect on markets.
Then, again, increasingly burden
some taxes are felt, and many other
new factors injected into the situa-
tion.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-03

Imitation has, of course, been an
important factor in the slump of
bond prices. AS the cost of living
mounted and the purchasing power
OF money decreased bond prices were
readjusted to a higher income basis.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-03
Initiation May
Cause Upturn

Initiation, it is believed, may con-
ceivably bring about a great rise in
security prices, but there is the pos
sibility that the market effects of in.
fation will be indefinitely deferred,
perhaps until after the war is over.
No one disputes the fact that sat
lsfactory peace would be the most
constructive influence on security
prices that can be imagined. The
periodical spurts in market prices
that occur on fresh peace reports
point in this direction.
Leaving aside the question of
whether peace is near or whether
the war will be prolonged indefi-
nitely, to be finished only when
sheer exhaustion shall have forced
the enemy to stop fighting, there is
no doubt that American holders of
securities have to large degree re-
covered from the apprehension that
took possession Of the market for all
classes of stocks and bonds in 1917,
when our principal industries were
getting adjusted to a war basis and
the government had begun to make
its demands for money felt in the
capital markets. Since December of
1917, when the storm Of domestic
selling reached a climax and prices
of practically all but industrial
stocks touched the lowest levels in
years, not excepting the prices of the
war panic period of 1914, there has
been a gradual though none the less
convincing revival of confidence that
has made itself felt in creeping
forward of prices.

SEE GOOD PRICES
FOOR EARLY ORANGES

That early oranges. particularly
Parson Browns, can be expected to
bring excellent prices IN the northern
markets was The trend OF opinion ex-
pressed at rally here today Of
Marion county members Of the Flor
ida Citrus Exchange
Speaking upon the subject Of
prices, DIR J. Fl Ross Of Florence Vii
al. president Of The Florida Citrus
Exchange, said il seemed probable
that spectators hal been responsible
for the impression thar orange and
grapefruit prices would not be good
this year. and that in consequence
of this impression having gotten out,
a number Of growers had been led
TO contract for he sale Of their fruit
for considerably less than it was
worth
I'VE have no information, said Dr..
Ross, that conditions will be such
as to compel growers 20 accept for
their fruit less than It is worth. At
the same time we believe that with
the greatly increased costs of citrus
fruit production this year. growers
should see to it that they obtain fair
prices for their crops.
"Inasmuch as our government. and
the director general of railroads in
particular are on record as desiring
to afford every possible facility for
the movement of FloIidas citrus
fruits, We have every reason to ex-
pect our fruit to reach the markets
in reasonable time. Rumore that cit
rus fruits might be denied transpor-
tatiOn for the reasons that they are
enormously thought by some people
to belong TO the luxury class, probab-
~ originate from the same sources
which have been responsible for the
impression that prices will not be
good"

cation and considerable number Of

industry Of Marion and Orange coun.

While it was declared that no pre-
diotion safely could be made as to
exact prices, the opinion expressed
by the various speakers was to the
effect that an excellent market for
Florida's citrus fruits could be expect
ed throughout the selling season: and
the tone Of the meeting was decidedly
optimistic.
