But the Bulls Don't Believe II

Many reports were afloat in the
financial district yesterday to explain
the strength in the international Mer-
camille Marine shares. One was that
directors at their regular monthly
meeting scheduled for this afternoon
may consider the declaration of a $40
dividend on account of the arrearage
on the preferred stock. A leading di-
rector denied that the board would
take this action. There has been no
change in the Marine situation since
the stock was selling at a." was his
reply to an inquiry whether important

the State will declare holiday on the

event that state holiday is declared

Copyright. 1919. New York Tribune Inc,


A few months ago the minds of
Wall Street became seized with a
remarkable idea, an amazing idea,
an idea almost unheard Of in the
history of economic thought. They
said it would be bullish for commod-
ity prices to come down. They
! hailed with a sort of ecstacy the
cut in copper prices from 26 to %
and then to 18 cents q pound. But
no market came. And the price was
cut from 17A cents to II, and to
16, and to Is. And no market came.
And the minds of Wall Street began
to move again, for they saw that
they had erred. There had been a
confusion of thought. No one had
been buying copper at % cents, so
it was thought that buying could be
induced by lowering the price.
Therefore lower price was "bull-
ish" in so far, and only in so far, as
it stimulated buying. But if lower
price does not stimulate buying,
then it is bearish indeed, for it re-
duces profits on what little Of a
given product is sold, and it reveals
how bad market conditions really
are. Now, both copper and zinc are
selling below the current cost of
production; or, rather, producers
are offering them below the current
cost of production. They are not
selling. Things could hardly be
worse than this. But, there is COM
fort in knowing the worst.
Whatever the result of the steel
conference, whatever the scale of
prices announced, men who are eau
tious will wait some time before
becoming either enthusiastic or 9TH
erwise. A cut in prices may mean
an increase of buying orders, or it
may not; but it always means a cut
in profits. That Wall Street is tax
ing this view of the steel situation
is manifest from comment. It is
hoped the reduction will be small.
Gossip hath it that for Bessemer
steel f. o. b. Pittsburgh, now selling
at $43.50 a ton, the Steel Corpora
tion wants to hold out for $40, Mr..
Redfield would like $35, and there
will probably be compromise at
$3.50. There was "good" buying
Of Steel common stock yesterday,
which came from brokers who often
act for inside interests; and this
was presumed to be based on private
advices that something favorable
could be expected. "The Iron Age"
is gloomy about the price fixing
scheme. 1t says, that "among lead
ing producers Of steel there has
been no change in feeling that price
reductions at this time will not pro-
vide the desired revival in buying"
1t asserts that "the government has
TO buying programme" as in war
time, and thus Cannot give prac-
teal sanction to steel prices that
may be fixed" And it quotes wide
spread reports Of sales during the
past week of basic iron at $25 at the
furnace, representing reduction. of

If there was anything surprising
tc we'll informed folk in the sharp
advance of call money rates yester-
day, it could only have been because
it came a day or two sooner than
expected. Rates on Monday were
low; on Tuesday, the ruling rate fell
to 4 per cent, the lowest ruling rate
since January %; yesterday it
opened at A "a per cent, and was 5A
at the end Of the session. All this
had been an inevitable development
of the tax payment operation. On
Saturday of last week $794, 100000
of certificates Of indebtedness fell
due from the government to the
banks. Most of these were used to
pay taxes, and resulted merely in a
credit cancelling operation, but the
remainder the government had to
pay. This left the banks with an
unusual supply of funds. They were
free to lend this on call; that is, in
q way in which it could be with
drawn on a days notice; and their
anxiety to do so led to a fall in the
call rate; but they could not tie up
their money for longer period than
that. They had to wait for the
checks to come in from the govern
ment to find out to what extent they
had been drawn upon by their de-
positors.

Geraldine Farrar proves her right to be called the star of stars in "The Hell Cat" newest of her Goldwyn Pictures. Rarely has she been pro- vlded with more colorful, dramatic role. Never has she been enabled to acquit herself so magnificently in a thoroughly modern environment.
 Though the entire production was made in the heart of Wyoming's Rockies. "The Hell Cat" in no sense is a conventional Western" drama. Replete with color and movement, the ranch atmosphere is merely a background for an uncommonly strong clash of wills. The characters are swayed by primitive emotions and impulses, and in the freedom of drama is played sweeping 9A9A9A the superb mountain vistas the drama IS played sweepingly and without re- straint.
 Geraldine Farrar is Pancha O'Brien half Spanish and half Irish, with all the contradictions this mixture inn plies. She is woman of impulse, who loves and hates with equal ve- hemence and who moves through the scenes of ''The Hell Cat," pulsing, glowing figure.
 Always having in mind the deve. lopment of it's stars. Goldwyn looks upon "The Hell Cat" as fitting successor of "The Turn of the Wheel Geraldine Farrar's first Goldwyr Picture now enthralling audiences everywhere.
