The Markets
Judge Gary's Statements

Prices of both railroad and indus
trial stocks advanced again yesterday.
The Tribune's average price of indus
trial shares achieved new high rec
ord for the year. The strength was
mainly in the steel shares, and espe-
cially IN Steel common, following the
remarkable statement Of Judge Gary
that from present appearances pro-
duction this year will exceed all for
mer records" In view of the fact
that production in the first four and
one half months Of the year has aver
aged only two-thrds to three quarters
of production at the height of the war
period. an astonishing activity would
seem to be necessary to make up this
handicap, and it would undoubtedly
take a few months for this activity
to get under way. Another group
notable for strength was the motor
shares. Chandler, on the small turn
over of 200 shares, made a spectacu-
lar gain of 1884 points

Call Money at 3T2 Per Cent

Rates on call loans on all-industrial
collateral fell yesterday to the lowest
figure in two weeks. and with one ex
ception, the lowest in more than year.
Ruling at per cent, the rate de-
clined in the late afternoon to 31a
One explanation given for this is that
it was the end of the week; brokers
who wanted to cover their require
ments for over the week end had prob
ably done so early in the day, and the
end of the session found the banks
with a surplus of funds on which they
were anxious to receive interest over
the two-day period. In fact, some in
stitutions report that the demand for
loans from brokers has diminished this
week, because of the large volume of
liquidation. 1t is believed that the de-
mand may increase on Monday, as
reflection of yesterdays rise. Some
banks report that instead Of receiving
funds from out town correspondents
to lend out on call here during the
week, they have received number of
calls for the loans.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-24
Steel's New High

Steel commons rise of yesterday was
an illustration of the theory of ere
sistance points" Steel common has
been tluctuating for several days in a
trading area" between par and 1O4
and fraction. The theory of resist
ance points is that if stock should
break its previous trading area high
or low points in either direction, on
heavy volume of trading, it would in
dicate that it was going to go several
more points in that direction, the ex-
act amount of points depending upon
the previous action of the stock. The
fact that the resistance point is we'll
broken, with a fraction beyond, is sup
posed to indicate, if it is the upper
resistance point, that there has ceased
to be enough stock for sale at that
level to hold it down; therefore there
should be considerable advance before
the next resistance level is reached.
Steel common loitered between 103 and
l04 until nearly the last hour yester-
day, when it broke through suddenly
to 1o7, new high price for the year.
Total sales of it were 176,800.

Queer Performances

A financial writer whose discovery is
so important that it is licked off on
one of the Wall Street news tickers
as folk look on in febrile suspense,
has come upon some queer perform
ances of certain brokers around the
Steel post on the Stock Exchange" 1t
appears that "a group Of about six
brokers representing two or three
prominent houses which have strong
Steel Corporation connections, has
made it habit for the last three weeks
or more to buy large blocks of Steel
and then turn seller at the top of a
rally To sell at the top of a rally
is queer performance indeed. Without
equivocaton the writer comes to this
startling conclusion: "Oldtime traders
on the floor contend that this group of
brokers is acting on a concerted plan
either to liquidate or to accumulated

No Limited Receiver
For New Haven Road
{. S. Circuit Court Refuses Ap.
plication of the Minority
Stockholders

The application of Harold Norris and
other minority stockholders of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
for the appointment of limited re-
ceiver to prosecute liability and resti-
tuition suits against the former direc-
tors of the corporation was denied yes
terday by Circuit Judge Martin 7. Man
ton in an opinion filed in the United
States District Court. Because of the
fling of this opinion the proceedings
for the appointment of permanent
receiver were put over to the June
term.
In view Of the intimation in the
opinion that the directors should have
been made defendants with the rail
road company, it seems likely that the
application viii be renewed By amend
ing the complaint If this is not done
the plaintiffs will proceed with the
Adams suit. which VIII be heard next
month. When asked about what new
action was contemplated, Saul S. Mey-
ers, chief counsel for the plaintiffs,
said:
Il am perfectly satisfied with the
opinion Of Judge Manton. AS | read it
the judge says that The motion for the
appointment Of 4 receiver should have
been made in the Adams suit and not
in the Norris suit. The court says
an application for the appointment Of
a receiver may be successfully main
tanned in the Adams suit"
In the suit Norris and the other
stockholders sought to have
the court appoint receiver in all
claims in action which the defendant
corporation now mas against certain
former directors, who are charged
with conspiracy, and also against the
executors Of the estates Of former di-
rectors. The claims in action for
which the receiver is sought result
from alleged loss and waste of the cor
poration's money.

Short Interest In Steel

In their letter of yesterday morning
+. w. Wagner & Co. remarked:
There is an interesting situation in
United States Steel. After weeks Of
bullsh activity and very large public
participation there is scarcely any long
interest in the premier industrial. Com
mission houses, generally speaking, are
bare of the stock. There is said to
be professional short interest in the
issue of approximately 250,000 shares.

tr'buted than the average big profes-

Per Capita Calculations

Money in circulation is about $56
per capita, as against about S34 before
the war. What is it to be supposed
will be done with it? Why, invested
and expended in order to increase
wealth. Judge Gary. 1t depends a
lot on what the money is made Of. Be
tween 1914 and the beginning of this
year Great Britains per capita circu-
lation has risen from $3.50 to $50,
Frances from $50 to 1852, Germany's
from 50 to s119, and Russias from Sc

he said, the "heavv profits" of the steel
companies in recent years, in support
of his contention that the rail prices
quoted were unreasonable.
1T is important to remember" said
Mr.. Hines in conclusion, "that the pres
ent policy of the steel interests in ad
hcring to high prices on the ground
that present costs necessitate them is
policy that does not work both ways.
1t is a policy to keep prices from 60
ing lower as business increases and

Warns Property Owners
Against Carelessness

Chief of Police Chris Nelson. today
made the statement that property
owners OF h city are not giving the
police department their proper CO.
operation and support against night
marauders, and are particularly slack.
with regard to the rules of fire-pre-
vention.
According to Chief Nelson, too
much inflammable rubbish is being
piled behind several business houses.
and is a raw source of danger from
fire. - ~
Property owners should regularly
dispose Of excelsior. old boxes, and
other inflamnlable rubbish" said the
chief today. I'm many cases this
rubbish is piled dangerously close to
the buildings. With the pyromaniac
abroad and constantly endeavoring to
commit further sdepredations, every
care and effort should be made
against placing such weapons in his
own hands. Business men. too, are
slack in properly securing the doors
Of heir premises at night. If the de-
partment IS to be efficient, it must
have, h support of all property own
ers, and not have its efficiency ham
pered through carelessness."

said, was left with the 'front.' door
and several windows open recently in
stead Of being locked at the close Of

THE AMERICAN GIRL

A returned young officer. Che must
be very, very young) writing in The
|Globe-Democrat, opines that the
American girls are going to have a
difficult time regaining their holds on
the youths of the A. e. F. who have
met up with the ,jeanes files Of
France, His mouth fairly waters as he
spreads forth the Turing charm of the
irresistible Marie and the fetching
Fanchette. He is enchante.
cat home" says this very, very
Young officer, "a girl makes you think
your are lucky if she lets you take her
out and spend SIS and q ton Of energy
pleasing her"
In France, he has discovered, girls
invite men to their homes. The maid
ems there "beg American men to con-
descend to permit them to serve them.
When it comes to pleasing, flattering,
coddling, in general making a hit with
a man, the little French girl is in a
class by herself" {
From the remarks Of the very, very
young officer we conclude two things:
He knows very little about French
He knows even less about American
We have no doubt that the French
girl is a. charming creature. We have
no doubt she makes an excellent wife
and mother. We have no doubt she is
hospitable by nature and Is very
gratefult to the young men who helped
redeem her country.
Our very, very young OFFICER has
probably mistaken gratitude for in
fatuation. He also overlooks the fact
that most Of the young Americans, in
France hadn't seen womentto talk to
for months before meeting the French
girls on q social basis, and any girl
would have appeared charming under
the circumstances.
{ We venture the prediction that 80
per cent Of the Americans when they
return to the United States and again
mingle with home girls, will forget
that there are. women in France. Ex-
perts assure us, and we know 1t our
selves, that the American women have
no equal in the world. Thousands of
Europeans marry American girls ev-
cry year. How many American men
go to Europe for brides?
The very, very young OFFICER or his
informants picture the Trench girl
toward men. We don't like the picture
and don't think II 10 real.
The time has passed when Ameri-
can men want cringing wives, rel II
there was such a time. Our youths
are not looking for women to work
for them and serve them rs slaves.
The ciinging-vine and smelling-salt
era passed with the civil war.
The American. man today wants a
pal as well as wife. He wants q COM
[panion with whom he can deal on
terms Of equality, one who can take
an Interest in his business. share his
problems, And be an all-round friend.
'Friend wife" and "1riend husband"
are American slang terms but, like
many Of our idioHns, they express
sound sentiments. The average mEh In
this country today would be diagusted
With 4 giri whose only desire was to
please, flatter and coddle him, and
beg for the privilege OF serving him. !"
