Breaking Records

A now chapter in the history Of the
market on the Stock Exchange was
written yesterday when the number Of
different stocks bought and sold, 345,
was the largest on record. The breadth
of the list made it look as If there
might be good deal Of truth in the
opinion expressed by many brokers to
the effect that people who sold stocks
to establish tax losses are beginning
"to buy 'em" back for fear of losing
their market Professionals were
active on the buying side during the
day, and the rising strength of mum
Der of industrias, notably Republic
Steel, had the earmarks Of being an
attempt to get public following. The
extraordinary thing about it was the
strength of the upward current even
in the face of 15 per cent money. How
the market could be s. strong with
such tight money mystifed a lot of
folks. The conclusion drawn by most
people was that the market must be in
pretty good position. A commission
house member after sizing things up
sent out this wire: "Some very
shrewd judges Of conditions who have
not been buyers Of securities for
months are commencing to buy stocks" "
OF course the announcement that the
railroads will be turned back March /
put pep in the whole market and ac
counted in large measure for the bet
ter feeling that seemed to prevail The
Street argued that one Of the big un-
certainties has been cleared out of the
Way.

Tight Money Fails
To Prevent Sharp
Advance i'm Stocks
Railroad and Industrial
Shares Score Good Gains
on Decision of President
to PostponeR Roads Return

Encouraged by tho knowledge that
/ the railroads will not be returned to
their owners without giving Congress
time to enact the legislation necessary
for their protection. spectators bought
stocks yesterday with more enthusiasm
than they have displayed on any oc-
casion since the first day Of recovery
following the great break in November
There was good deal of buying by
disappointed spectators who had sold
short in expectation of further de-
cline, but for the most part the sharp
and general advance of stock prices
was caused by heavy purchases fCr
speculative long account. There was.
however, fair demand from invest.
ment sources and from those who had
sold stocks to establish losses for in-
come tax purposes.
Money opened and renewed at 10 per
cent, and thereafter it advanced to IL
and finally to Is per cent. which rate
was maintained until the close, but the
effects were only temporary. The mar
ket paused for time as the rate got
to the top point Of the day, sold off a
little, and then resumed the climb with
such effect that last prices in a good
many instances were the very highest
reached.
The railroad shares featured the
early dealings, with advances running
up to several points; but the
industrals were not long In joining in
the movement and thereafter they held
the center Of interest to the end. The
uncertainty which had prevailed as 20
the disposition of the carriers had
operated quite as much to the disad-
vantage of the industrials as the rails,
their owners without protective meas
ures the entire business world would
have faced a crisis. Naturally, shares
of those companies which depend on
the railroads for a large part of their
business were most favorably affected
by the Presidents proclamation, which
seemingly assures a settlement of the
problem within two months. Among
such issues the steel group was most
prominent, with United States Steel
common, Republic Iron and Steel. Beth
lohem Steel B and Sloss- Sheffield Lead
ing. The turnover in these stocks was
exceptionally heavy and their strength
in cases bordercd on the sensational
Republic sold as high as 1201s, ex
rights, and closed at 119% for net
gain Of 71a points. United States
Steel sold at 1865, the highest price
touched since November H. and closed
an eighth below the top for a net ad-
vance of Pa points. This stock is now
selling at a price higher than that pre-
vailing Immediately before the Novem-
Der slump. The coppers were also very
strong.
Shares Of express companies, which
are to be returned, released from gov.
ernment control along with the rail
roads, were favorably influenced and
scored gains ranging from ia to 5l4
points, the latter advance being made
by American Express.
The turn over in the bond market was
exceptionally large, the feature being
the stronger tone of the Liberty issues.
Buying by those who had sold to es-
tablish tax losses was said to account
for the demand.

Erie Railroad Reports
Deficit of $2,246,653
1913 Statement Shows That
the Government Sustained
a Heavy Loss

An operating deficit of $2,246,653 for
the calendar year 1918 was reported
IN the annual statement of the Erie
Ka!lroad Company, issued yesterday.
Inns with the guaranteed rental of
$lo'!2s,Ooe meant loss to the govern
ment Of $l7,975,721. Without the ben
e1t OF Federal operation the result of
,9is operations would have been a
deficlt after charges of practically the
same amount as the governments de-
ficiency
Including the Federal guarantee the
company showed net corporate sur
plus after charges of $6,220,370, equiv
alent after allowing for 4 per cent div
1dend requirements on the first and
second preferred stock to $500 a share
on the 112,48i 800 common stock. The
Erie earned $1.76 share on the first
preferred in 1917, when the road was
under private operation.
Frederick d. Underwood, president
stated in the company's report that
the absence of net earnings accruinp
to the railroad administration from
ITS operation of the Erie in 1918 was
largely attributable to weather condi
tions IN January and February, diver
sion OF traffic TO other lines, a short
ened haul on coal tonnage and extraor-
dinary costs of labor and supplies. The
current year, he SAID, should show an
improvement
Mr.. Underwood said also that the
company, shortly before the period Of
Federal control, had made large ex-
penditures for additions. improve
ments and equipment which were not
reflected in the railway operating in
come of the three test years or in the
standard return, but which substan-
TALLY increased the value and the earn
ing capacity of the property when
taken over by the government.

Royal Dutch

Prospects are that the Royal Dutch
Petroleum Company by next spring
will seek to raise new working capital
by another offering Of stock to the
present stockholders on basis that
will create valuable subscription rights.
SO far no definite step. so far as is
known on this side of the water, has
been taken to this end. But interests
in close touch with the affairs of the
Royal Dutch express the opinion that
action of this sort is contemplated,
and rumors which have been in circu
lation in England and on the Continent
for several weeks are to the effect
that present holders of stock are likely
to have the right to subscribe to one
new share for every three shares now
held. On the basis of the stock SELL
ing around 500 share, at present
price, subscription rights put out on
such q basis would be forth close to
$40. Early in the current year the
stockholders were given rights to new
stock worth slightly more than that.

Oil Industry in Europe

n L. B. Tweedie, of the New York
Stock Exchange house of Joseph
Walker & Sons, who returned the other
day from an extended stay abroad,
visiting Scotland, England and the
Continent, brought back some inter
esting facts regarding the oil industry
in the Rumanian fields, where the
Royal Dutch interests are the largest
operators. Before Rumania was over
run by the Germans the wells and other
oil properties were wrecked. However,
rapid restoration of normal operating
conditions has taken place, according
to Mr. Tweedie, who said yesterday
that November production in the
Rumanian fields amounted to 100000
barrels. compared with 100000 barrels
in October, and practically nothing in
the corresponding month Of 1918. Fuel
oil is coming into greater use the
world over, Mr.. Tweedie stated, and
he called attention to the fact that
French railways are testing out the
use Of l-burning locomotives with
the idea of concerting most of their
coal burners if it proves satisfactory.
The first oil-burning locomotive has
already been completed and is in
operation.
