One largo commission house in let
ter to customers yesterday advised the
purchase Of the so-called weak credit
railroads on the ground that sooner or
later We are coming to compulsory or
voluntary consolidation of the roads
The House recalls the fact that Paul NJ.
Warburg,N recently vice-governor OF the
Federal Reserve Board. had been work
ing for some time on a solution OF the
rail problem. and that his conclusions
in substance would form the basis or
bill TO be introduced in Congress. In
n general way" continues the letter.
I'VE understand that the stronger sys-
TENS will to some extent be diluted: that
is, as one railroad man puts It, They
will have to pay the penalty OF being
strong and that. on the other hand, the
EQUITIES of the weaker roads will be sub
stantially improved. We further I'M
derstand that the Warburg plan will be
made public within the next three weeks
and that publication thereof will show
in figures Just to what extent the eQui-
ties of the weaker roads will be
strengthened. As the weak credit roads
have been practically stagnant in the
market for some time, besides being
relatively low in price, We believe that
a speculative move in these low priced
rails will be popular and that the eX-
pected speculation will be sponsored by
the strongest interests"

Tobacco stocks Strong.

Among the chief features OF yester-
days session were the tobacco stocks
with Tobacco Products and United Cigar
stores leading the general advenCe. The
former sold up to a high mark OF 90 u
being ex-riEhts, making the price Of the
stock with rights on in the neig Hborhood
OF 100. All through the day traders
were recalling that few years ago
when the company was organized sub
scribers to preferred stock at $lO2 a
share were given MS n bonus The right
TO subscribe to this common at 81 n
share and that since that time they have
received innumerable dividends, TO say
nothing of valuable rights on at least
two occasions. United Cigar Stores be-
came prominent following the announce
ment that the company was to be ab-
sorbed by the United Retail Stores Cor
poration and that stockholders of Cigar
Stores were to receive two shares of the
Retail stores stock for one OF Cigar
stores. This issue sold up to n new rec
ord high mark OF l7S for a gain of Sls
points and closed at III with a net gain
of IA. Retail Stores on the Curb was
also very strong on this announcement
and sold up to 81, or nearly 10 points
above its price when first offered on the
Curb a couple OF weeks ago.

Baldwin LOGON otive.

Of them considerably shoDworn'and some
OF them brand new. AS "A matter of
fact Wall Street Is pretty well mixed up
on just what Is going TO happen in
Baldwin, and. figuratively speaking. is
running around in circles. One of the
fresh stores the street heard Yesterday
was that the Eddystone property was to

nothing new at this particular time on

Government Withdrawals.

Call money loaned as high as IL per
cent. yesterday, more than 100000
passing at this rate. and the outlook Is
for continued stlff rates for the balance
of the week and possibly until July I.
An even higher rate Ia expected in some
quarters. Unexpected calls on New
York banks to return to the Government
a large percentage OF the United States
deposits, which amounted to s36S,S65.-
900 on last Saturday. are responsible
for temporary stringency. The banks
were told how much they must pay In
on Tuesday and Thursday combined,
and as minor percentage Of the total
was paid over yesterday 1t Is expected
that the banks will have to make prep
arations to-day for a heavy withdrawal
tomorrow. One of the larger institu-
lions was obliged to make arrangements
to pay over TO the Government $4,000
600 of the Federal deposits, part OF
which was paid yesterday and the bal
ance will be paid tomorrow. These
funds will return to the Wall Street
banks early next week, but not early
enough to prevent stiff rates to-day and
tomorrow.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


One OF the outstanding features OF
market. a boiling AFFAIR IN
some of its departments, was the UNI
weakness of the rails. There
was nothing particularly new to ac-
count for the pail which appeared to
hang over the rails. With the railroad
bill a law, with plans under
way for partial return OF roads to Sheir
owners by August 1 and complete re-
turn by the first of 1920. II seems to the
observer that the roads have ex-
perienced their worst difficulty and are
likely to turn the corner. Evidently
Wall Street does not hold this view. as
selling was reported to be
for short account. The slide started
with Canadian Pacific Most Of the
other declines were sympathetic. c. P.
sold down to 154, loss Of Az points
before covering operations set in. 1t
closed the day with a loss of ~ points'
A story was In circulation that the wide
decline in Canadian Pacific was due to
the marketing of large block Of securi-
ties held In Germany during the war.
At any rate the weakness in Canadian
Pacific was unmistakable and without
explanation. Practically all Of tho stan
dard rails lost fractional ground.

German Marks.

What are German marks actually

the foreign exchange experts have I'M

Switzerland and other countries where
now they are dealt in huctuate widely
from day TO day and offer little aid. To

has been the arbitrary rate OF 1856

lean Relief Administration. Some deal
ers here are Of the opinion that they
will open at between 7 and 9.

Dangerous Optimism"

Mr. Isaac F. Marcosson quotes Sir Edward Carson as
saying of public man who always about to strike
twelve, but did strike than hapast nine,
"The trouble with that is that he is dangerous
optimist."
Optimism is a great trait when kept within bounds.
Clemenceau helped France by his optimism under
the German drives last spring. But his optimism was
founded on reason and justified itself.
An easy going optimism that says for instance that
there will be another and there is need
in making preparatons-such an optimism lie not
merely dangerous but fatal-Kansas City Times.

THE MARTIAL MUSE.

IT Err sanguine song has pealed so long
! 4 Her screams have run so wildly,
That now, with peace her woes increase
She cannot MARBLE mildly
The wary chats of diplomats,
Though consummate in cunning
Do not enthrall her soul at all
Like whippet tanks a-Hunning.
The sudden cease of shot and shell
Has left her somewhat dizzy;
Her CORY rhymes offend the times
And yet 80. She must keep busy!
No more she burst make shrapnel burst
Like salvos of tomato
Nor let cold steel the foe CONCEAL
To cannon obbgato.
She has to stand her Tyre in hand
Like any paror model
without verse to rouse a curse)
And chant the dove-cote twaddle.
She hates to sing of love and Spring
But Winter, though you view it
With self-control, means bills for coal,
And so .... she has to do it!
