GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Expect Trading Rally.

The technical position Of the market,
after yesterdays declines. improved 30
much that the speculative community
looked forward to trading rally. The
improvement was in the sold out condi-
tion of most stocks on the list. Trading
heavier than for several days accom-
panied the recording of new lows in the
copper shares and a weakness in Steel
common that brought It to s2h, new
low Of the movement. The fact that
only the specialties. so called under the
support of groups directly interested In
them, passed the day without losses
emphasized the condition 81 the other
market, which, 1t was pointed out, had
been going down for a full week. Wall
Street found three main explanations
for the continuance Of that movement.
Speculation for the decline on the part
OF traders was one /; selling by investors
whose holdings showed book losses, for
the purpose of recording those losses
for tax purposes, was another the third
was that the market was sprinkled with
stop loss orders placed by large NUM-
Der of SPECTATORS who had expected the
usual January rally" before this week.

What of These Engines:

In the other equipment shares the
trading was mostly professional specu-
lation for the decline in the earlier ses-
sion being counteraCted by covering op-
eratlors when 1t was noted how strong
American Car and Foundry remained
This was especially true in Baldwin
Locomotive, which after losing two
points recovered all save a quarter of a
point. What may be the. prospects for
the equipment trade in general could not
be ascertained readily yesterday, but one
point was made that might have a bear
ing on the situation in the neat year.

Wanted, n Leader!

There Is a growing impression in local
financial circles that the railroad prob
lem will not be settled satisfactorily and
for the best interests Of the public unless
leader arises who stands head and
shoulders above those who are prone to
compromise. Such expressions az Get
a leader like the late J. Pierpont Morgan
or James ]. Hill or L. II. Hartman"
were heard frequently in the Wall Street
district when it became known that tic
railway executives conference for Mon
day had to be postponed In order to give
time for further consideration of plans
already outlined The tendency to per-
NIT small or large committees or as
sociations to do the work without a
persuasive directing head was deplored
on the ground that it meant much talk
little action" at time when every min
ute Is precious, II the plan for five year
Federal control and ultimate Govern
ment ownership Is to be headed OFF The
men in financial circles meant no criti-
clsrn Of those who are approa hing the

from a thousand different viewpoints
but they say they wish the leadership OF
some one who would have the ability TO
strip the non-essentials from the essen

programme under which unity can be
obtained. The cry Is: Wanted, a

Car Foundry Advances.

American Car and Foundry advanced
nearly points in the market yesterday,
rising even while other equipment shares
were selling off There was nothing
new in the situation that brought fresh
buying into the stock. 1t was simply
that what is known as inside purchase =
were being made on the knowledge Of
what certain OF the directors contem-
plated advising for the next year or 80.
The directors will meet in March, a
month before the fiscal year of the COM
pany comes to an end. At that time, ac-
cordinG 10 reliable authority the COM
mon shares will he placed on better than
the current per cent annual basis or

MANAGEMENT OF the company has made
of this year one of profits equal at least,
it Is understood, to those OF last year,
when the net available for the common
was equivalent to about s3l share.
The establishment Of the large reserve
for dividends. sufficient to pay the regu-
lar dividends for two years. as Yet un-
touched. has made it possible for the
directors TO consider a larger disburse-
ment. Which OF the two methods out
lined would be adopted has not been
decided
