Taking advantage of the interest
: aroused in the market by recent war
: developments, the pools which for
. months have been periodically and
successfully manipulating such is
sues as Marine preferred are again
. very active, and apparently unem-
. barrassed by lack of funds, even
though others may be less fortunate.
! 1t was on the gyrations of such
. speculative counters that the atten-
! tion of traders centred yesterday.
Such stocks are dangerous things to
play with. but they give plenty Of
. action, and all that many traders
3 ask for is an opportunity to play
Pitch and toss for high stakes. But,
while speculative interest was con-
. centrated chiefly on the specialties,
the rest Of the market was by no
means neglected, and the tendency
= to discount peace was again in evil
Gence. There we're indications of
scme real liquidation in those stocks
which are commonly classified as
war issues, while substantial buying
of some of the peace stocks ap-
peared, although the effects Of it
we're largely neutralized by the sales
of those who were content with the
profits that had accrued as result
of this weeks advance. That the
oiscoanting process has not gone
very far must not be ascribed to any
lack of conviction on the part of
traders that the end of the war is
appreclably nearer than it seemed a
fortnight since, but rather to the
general uncertainty as to the pros
Iects for the various industrial con-
Germs and the railroads after the
war. There is no substantial agree
ment among traders on the matter.
Many of them, for example, regard
Steel common as q war stock, and
have, therefore, sold it, while many
others are convinced that peace will
rot materially hurt it. Besides, it
is not the professional trader who
will carry through the discounting
process. That will be done chiefly by
the invisible "they" of whom the
rank and file of Wall Street speak
familiarly, but whose operations are
never traceable. At present the mar
ket hardly seems broad enough to
enable them to get out from under
such war stocks as they may still
hold while accumulating the peace
issues

Burns Bros. at New High

Burns Brothers stock which on We'd
nesday sold down to 14s on reported
profit taking and short selling, yester-
day jumped to the new high record
Price of 15S%, where it closed with
net gain of 81 points. Reports con-
tinue that the company some day will
declare 30 per cent stock dividend,
but it is not believed that this will
take place so long as the price of coal
is fixed by the government
