Express stocks Advance.

A trick that clique of floor operators
learned during the dog days, that OF
suddenly and swiftly going after a dor
mant stock for a whirl, was repeated
with the usual successful results In the
express group. Inquiry failed to bring
TO light any particular news that would
put American Express Company up ten
points or Wells Fargo up four and a
half points with sympathetic gains in
Adams and United States expresses
Rather II was attributed to the fact
that a very thin market had developed
in these issues, that they were invest
ment rather than speculative securities
and that the bulk OF owners who have
kept them locked away in safety de-
post vaults all these years are going to
hold out to the bitter end. trusting tc
the return of the properties to their
owners at the end on the year
to bring a favorable turn. At any rate
the active demand could be supplied only
al advancing prices, and 1t took some
skirmishing around to produce the 5000
shares of this group which turned over
during the day.

The Rails Revive.

Rail stocks for the first time in many
a day were a market feature and adj
vances were scored in practically all
OF them. low priced rails showing in
some cases good sized gains. Some Of
this activity of course was attributed to
the Wheeling furry, which produced
sympathetic interest in such stocks as
Western Maryland and Chicago and
Great Western. One theory found to be
held rather widely in commission houses
is that the rank and file of spectators
were deserving their favorites, the steel
group, until a settlement of the labor
controversy and were turning their
attention, usually given to the steels, to
the rails. Something more substantial
than this was to be found In the more
conservative quarters. where excellent
investment buying of the rails was re-
ported The standard securities of this
group are undoubtedly passing into the
very strongest of hands, owners who can
afford to lay the shares away for year
or so until they come into their own.
Perusal of the circulars being sent out
by large conservative houses fostering
this sort of business dlscloses such
phrases, tucked away in the rail COM
ment, as this: THE pending arrange
ments for returning the roads to their
owners are expected TO result in an
equitable basis for all concerned and
when the outlook is sufficiently cleared
up it would appear that the railroad list
would give a good account of itself"

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


In considering the stock market \in
relation to the steel strike Wall Street
found itself yesterday face to face with
widely conflicting reports from the steel
centres, both sides claiming victory, and
little real news as a peg on which to
start movement Confronted with
such a situation, considerable irregu-
iarity prevailed and the shares OF the
steel group backed and filled within a
harrow arc. There were few weak spots.
however as every sag brought shower
of buying orders, which always had the
result OF strengthening the steel issues.
II might be called a market deadlock.
and few material changes. particularly
in the steel shares, may be anticipated
until definite developments sway the
market one way or the other. There is
apparently little inclination to bid up
the steel shares under present clrcum-
stances, but by the same token abso-
lutely no weakness is manifest and dis
position to throw stocks overheard is
not apparent. Rather, there appeared
to be more of a swing toward the oil
tobacco and food stocks and the rails
for speculative activity. to allow steels
to swing idly in the steam until tho
tide definitely turns. Sales ran a few
thousand above the million mark.

Mercantile Marine.

Some beautiful yarns, some OF which
had every indication of inspiration,
we're kicked literally in the head yes
terday afternoon when directors of the
International Mercantile Marine Cor
poration declared an extra of per cent.
on account of the deferred dividends on
the preferred stock, thereby reducing
the Indebtedness on that issue from 81
per cent. to So per cent. Mr.. Franklin
stated quite plainly that no bulk dis
tribution. as had been anticipated, would
be made at this time nor in the near
future. The per cent. extra. therefore.
cannot but be disappointing to those
buoyed up by stories that a large dis
tribution probably would be made. These
stockholders may be able to find some
consolation and nourishment in the
statement by Mr.. Franklin that the corr
poration Is planning to extend it's for
eign connection in a large way and that
the outlook for increased earnings is
bright.

Tighten Foreign Exchange oner.

Banks that issued mark and franc
exchange freely several weeks ago are
now proceeding with considerable moro
caution and in most cases are demand
ing to know details of the transaction
that the checks are to terminate, as
they have found that they are being
used as gambling counters in Wall
Street in many cases and frequently
never reach their destination. They
have ascertained that many of these
checks were purchased with an eye on
a profit and that they are passing mere
ly from hand to hand In the financial
district, frequently being hawked around
the streets. AS banks do not want per-
fectly good paper TO fall into the same
category as chips they are slackening
exchange offerings and some OF them
have withdrawn entirely from the bust
ness. There was rather a sharp rise
yesterday morning in france and marks
but in the latter part of the day quota
lions eased off slightly. There is vet
very little evidence of stability in the
foreign exchange market.

Wheeling swung over into the oil
rail group yesterday with demonstra-
ton which was as mysterious as 1t was
sudden and which has turned the rail
specialists into a human Interrogation
point. The statement that Wheeling is
ar oil rail rs made with reservations
but Wall Street hears, and hearing be-
lieves, that oil has been struck on the
Wheeling properties. No announcement
to this effect has been made nor would
the members of the brokerage firm
which handled the bulk of the 10000
share turnover hazard any guess as
to what was doing in the stock. AT any
rate there appeared a quiet buyer fo4
every offer on the up grade and partjcu-
larly was this noticeable when the sUNck
crossed IT. The close was at IS. a
gain of 3A points. and with point
gain recorded In the preferred issue
which was proportionately we'll taken.
