Prices Irregular,

Steel Issues Rally After
Early Losses; Stringency
of Money a Factor in
Checking Price Advances

Yesterdays movement Of stock prices
on the exchange gave the impression
that the speculative element in control
of the market was unable to decide
whether to follow the advance further
or to take up new position. The re-
suit was decidedly mixed tone, some
stocks advancing sharply, others re-
ceding, giving the whole list an ex
tremely irregular appearance. Out OF
the erratic fluctuations OF the day
numerous industrial specialties emerged
with large gains, but the standard
stocks displayed hesitancy and in some
cases weakness. Realizing sales were
fairly heavy.
The market opened with a higher
range of prices for the ma jorty of the
leading issues, but sagged off toward
the end of the first hour when the
Street learned that President Wilson's
illness was more serious than had been
thought at first. This wavering of
prices invited selling from professional
creased the pressure to such an extent
that by midday many stocks showed
losses running a point or more under
the opening levels. When the selling
ceased prices tended to rally and spe-
cialties were taken in hand and bid up
vigorously.
Steel stocks, as was the case on
Wednesday, were sluggish and stub

Sinclair Consolidated

Failure of Sinclair Consolidated Oil
shares to respond to the announcement
Of the amalgamation of all Sinclair
properties is attributed in some quar-
ters to confusion caused by efforts to
calculate the immediate earning ca
pacity of the combined companies. The
income statements of the Sinclair Oil
and Refining Company and the Sinclair
Gulf Corporation for the six months
ended June 80 showed combined net
earnings, after interest, but before
depreciation and Federal taxes, OF
S8,912,098, or at an annual rate of
$17, ,196. The other constituent
company in the period from May 8 to
June 80 earned 81 ,6S1 ,453, or at the
annual rate of more than $10,000,000.
The three corporations now compris-
ing the Sinclair Consolidated were
therefore earning at the yearly rate
Of approximately S2s,oOo,0oo at the
close of the half year, not allowing for
revenues that may be derived from
operation of the new Houston refinery
and the return of two tank ships which
had been diverted to war service. 1t
is stated that it is at present i'm
possible to estimate how earnings will
be affected by the $50 100000 to be
realized through the sale of about
100000 additional shares of the new
company's stock. There are now out
standing 2,887,982 shares

ing Of trading yesterday, advanced
sharply later in the day. At the close
demand sterling was quoted at S4231a
compared with s4.l9A the day before.
The rise, bankers thought, was in part
due to embargo on the shipment of
goods to Great Britain because of the

Steel's Great Asset Value

Judge Gary, appearing before the
Senate investigating committee yester-
day in connection with the steel strike,
told the committee that he estimated

did not believe they could be replaced
at that figure. On the basis of this
estimate the book or asset value of

Putting Profits in Nunjcin,Js

The activity in the market for New
YORK state and city bonds indicates a
tendency to place profits made in stocks
during the bull market this year into
taA exempt bonds, according 10 bank
ers. The state bonds are sought more
actively than the municipal. because
OF the feeling in some quarters tha.
the tax exempt feature of such bonds
can never be abrogated, whereas it is
fe!t by some that the degree OF GER

open market is virtually bare of New

In Wall Street
"What Do You Think of the Market"

A member of the governing commit
tee of the New York Stock Exchanges:
Il talked with twenty different men
on the floor of the Stock Exchange to-
day. OF the twenty only one would
venture a prediction as to which way
the market will turn next, although
most were optimistic on general prin-
ciples. The one who was willing to
take a stand as to the future held that
the fight being made in England and
the United States by labor is losing
fight, and that when it ends capital
and labor will be much closer together
than they have been in years. On the
strength of this belief this broker said
he was bullish on the market outlook"

In striking contrast to the inability
Of majority of the country's street
railways to reap profit from current
operation is the record of the Detroit
United Railways. which, despite in
creased cost of labor and materials
and 5-cent fare, continues to report
gains in both gross and net earnings
For the month of July the company
showed gross revenues of S2.193, $40,
an increase Of $513,43O over the cor
ing expenses increased S499 ,G54, but
net earnings of S3-4.326 were still
S11,3S9 greater than in July year
ago. Passenger earnings for the first
two weeks in September totalled ST.
052, ,565, compared with $756,946 in
September, 1918. The company pays
dividends at the rate of 8 per cent on

last penciied notation of Mr.. Rouse
