Weekly Financial Review

New York, September Mathematician developments. both political and military, and the inauguration of the fourth Ltb- erty Loan campaign. were the paramount influences in she stock market last week. The war and loan situations, foremost in the discussions in the financial dis triet,, were regarded as being solely re- sponsible for the persistent advance in prices which had its inception after last weeks liquidation
 This rise, only ocea sionally deterred by profit taking or by momentary pe- riods of heaviness, attributed to adverse incidents affecting certain shares of the more volatile character, carried many issues into new high ground for the movement with the upward tendency benefited by conviction that the mar ket was in a stronger technical condi- ton than it was week ago.
 There were Q number oe factors com paratlvely subordinate, which contribut- ed to the improved sentiment The or ganization of the essential industries finance Corporation furnished reassur- ance to public utilities Prospects of large new contracts made equipments attractive to investment buyers. In- Gre3SSu lTaue pTlce BrAlNSu SO HUI PAV- ducers benefited the position of the steel issues. Railroad shares responded to the governments plan to take over the short lines with insured increases in rates. Several extra dividends were declared, such as Central and Ameri- can Ice.
 These influences offset depressing ones under which Distillery shares and Mer- cantile Marine, preferred and common, suffered temporarily Legislation by Congress favorable to prohibition con tributed to periods of weakness In the liquor stocks and the marine issues after spirited rise, receded sharply Tn the absence of confirmation of protected Reorganization plans.

They paid fair price and turned the
money over TO the owner Of the sugar.
