GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


A canvass of commission houses in
Wall Street and a. perusal of advices
sent out by brokers to their customers
reflected yesterday widening and
broadening through the Street of bullish
sentiment. Although possibilities of two
great labor tieups, one of the railroads
and one of the steel industry, hang over
the market. the news of yesterday crys-
tallized opinion after the close into the
belief that neither one will come to pass
The attitude OF union officials in WASH
ington, advising railroad men to accept
the compromise offer of the President,
had a large place in most of the market
comment This announcement was not
made until after the markets close. The
opinion in general in the Street that the
Steel Corporation, through Judge Gary,
has thrown down the gage Of battle to
the unions and that they can take 1t up
or let 1t lie and that the corporation
itself is fully prepared to see the prob
lem through. One market oommenter
had this to say: I'VE are losing sight,
in these hectic days, of the fact that
America is the bank and grocery store
of the world, asA that prosperity in
stead Of being around the corner Is here.
We are letting the day to day happen
ings, which just now happen to be dis
agreeable crowd out the larger condi-
tons which are the real backbone OF
our we'll being"

American mae ana Leather.

A rush of buying, mingled with short
covering, followed yesterday the an
nouncement by the Amer can Hide and
Leather Company that its earnings for
the year. applicable to the preferred
stock. had been little more than $50 a
share. The surplus after taxes and
charges was s2,695.00O. equivalent to
$2O.73 earned on the $13,O 900 OF pre-
ferred stock outstanding. In the pre-.
cedlng year the company reported a sur
plus of S2.3S5,613. which after deducting
100000 estimated extra provision for
income and war tax profits to June 80.
1918, charged out in the 1919 surplus
account. left a balance for the preferred
OF S15.27 a share. The sum of $500
900. 1t is reported. has been deposited in
Wall Street bank to meet the bonds of
this amount maturing on September !.
Retirement Of this mortgage leaves the
preferred stock as a first mortgage on
the company's property. For fifteen
years the company he's set aside regu-
larly SG60.000 for the sinking fund. VIII 'ch
amounts to 8 per cent. on the preferred.
With the bonds wiped out this fund may
be devoted to the liquidation of the III
per cent. accumula ton on the preferred.
The company is said to be IN a pos ton
to pay 2 per cent yearly on behalf OF
this arrearage in addition to tho regular
per cent. rate on the senior issue.
The sun., 1919-08-29
The specialties Advance.

Although the markets general trend
was yesterday upward and the standard
stocks registered moderate gains, 1t was
in the specialties and speculatively ac-
tive stocks of the standard groups In
which the real fireworks occurred. Par
ticular news brought strong activity in
several Of them. Crucible registered an
other important gain of 6B points for
the day, closing at 1884 after selling UP
to 1891 Some of the short interest in
Crucible is putting up game battle, but
the thumbscrews are being slowly but
surely applied, as each day brings the
extra dividend in Liberty bonds nearer.
American Hide and Leather shot forward
quickly on announcement of It's financial
statement, showing more than $40 earned
for the preferred. In American Woollen,
which at 119 registered a net gain of
seven points for the day and which at
its close of lis was three points up, was
under pressure of accumulation based on
reports that an extra dividend might be
declared at the same time that the an
nual rate would be advanced to per
cent. at next weeks meeting of the
board. There was also considerable in
creased dividend discussion in the Street
in connection with the market In Mexi-
can Petroleum. 1t touched 179 during
the day and closed with a net gain of
3A points. Twenty per cent. is being
talked In the commission houses for this
stock. 1t was a noticeable fact that
there was urgent demand in the loan
crowd for all of these stocks and that
Crucible particularly was difficult to
borrow.

The securities OF long established
house. the Fairbanks Company. were
traded In yesterday on the New York
Stock Exchange for the first time. fol-
lowing its admission to list on Wednes-
day. Its fluctuations Cor the first day
were on a narrow scale AMI the turn
over was not a heavy one. The stock
was introduced between so and 81. The
corporations financial position is said
20 be exceptionally strong, with ratio
OF assets to liabilities OF a little better
than Ave to one. The big development
IN Fairbanks has been since 1914, when
new interests took hold of the manage
rent Between 1915 and 1918 Its gross
earnings rose from 81, 800, 900 to $4,000
900 and Its net from $l75, 900 to S554.-
900. The stock issue is 81 100000 OF s
per cent. first preferred, $4,000, 900 OF 8
per cent. preferred and 10000 shares of
common OF S25 par value.

Steel Employees.

Organizers OF the steel and iron union
who shed crocodile tears In behalf of
employees of the United States Steel
Corporation in their reply TO Judge Gary
as to the working and living conditions
OF tho employees may be unaware of
the fact that the corporation has put
into effect ten wage increases since the
start of the war, that $1,000 of those
employees own stock In the corporation,
that great many Of them are home
owners and that the average wage of
all employees, according to the state
ment made in Wall lStreet yesterday by
a man familiar with the industry, was
at the rate of s1.095 per annum. The
statement that misery in the novels CT
tho steel workers is indescribable
brought many an amused smile In Wall
Street yesterday.
The sun., 1919-08-29
American Can.

Considerable interest in Wall Street
centres on the action OF the board of
American Can at its meeting scheduled
for next Tuesday. The stock was yes
terday under process of accumulation on
the belief that there was a chance that
dividends might be inaugurated on the
common The financial statement, ac-
cord.ng to those close to the manage
ment, is expected to show earnings su6i
Client to cover the proposed disbursement.
but at the same time the directors are
known to lean toward a conservative
attitude in the disbursement of cash
The corporation has a series of $4,000
600 in notes due serially between Sep
TENDER and December. It had a similar
series outstanding in 1918, which was
retired. This series, amounting to addi-
tional capital, was used in the purchase
OF raw materials, and 1t is understood
that the indebtedness has been reduced
gradually as the raw material has been
converted into the finished product and
sold.

Kind of Club Needed

As extension work is developing, the boys and girls club work should fit in with the programme of the county farm bureau, the extension directors of nine New England and eastern states de- clded at a recent conference in Boston. The extension directors who were present seemed to be agreed that the boys and eAis cup work IS contemplated in the oinitn-Lever act must be conducted pri- marty as an extension enterprise hay Ing In view. in the first instance. the actuai improvement of agriculture, home economies and general rural conditions Tn the counties where it is taken up. The community itself is functuatins to an increasing degree in determining what club work should be undertaken. what relations established, and who should act as local leaders of the work.
 satisfactory agreement has been drawn up with the educational system of the state of New Jersey covering co-on- eration with the club work Likewise Vermont and New York each has a memorandum of understanding on club work with the state board of education which is working out satisfactorily. In Massachusetts it is stated that 90 per cent of the 300 local leaders employed in boys and girls club work were other than teachers. Massachusetts has 1e county boys and girls club leaders, and New York has IS at the present time Many of the states reported farmers bankers. ministers, women and like agents as local club leaders. All of the states represented in the conference look forward to county club leader in each county of the state

Alabama Seed Breeders

At the call of the Alabama extension service there gathered in Auburn last week farmers interested in the breeding of pure seed for the planting of Alabama crops They came together for the ex- press purpose of forming an association to stress the importance Of increas sed yields fnom planting pure strains of inn proved seeds.
 M c. Allgood, commissioner Of agri- culture Montgomery, was present with copy of a proposed pare seed law a careful analysis of whic1 was made and number Of valuable suggestions re- ceived during it's discussion.
 Prof. J. F. Duggar handles the subject of the improvement of small grains" which he stated was easier of accomp- lishment because wheat and oats are self polIinating, and unlike corn are not endangered by foreign pollen. Cot ton becomes pollinated through visits of insects. Corn is hard to keep pure be- cause wind conveys pollen for long dis tances and unlike varieties should not be planted so as to bloom or tassel at the same time. Corn remains subject to pollenization as long as the silk remains sticky. Plants of oats or wheat for seed should be selected because of rust-proof or other permanent and hereditary quali- ties rather than on account of size. which may be due to favorable loca tion to fertiiza ton.
 J. A. Wade of Vincent. formerly com missioner of agriculture, fdiscussed Profit from Growing Improved Seed, " His address received the most careful at tention F. F. Cauthen. agronomist. read a paper on Light vs. Heavy Cotton Seed for Planting giving results of elaborate experiments extending over period of Il years at the Alabama ex- pertinent station. NJ. J. Funchoss ag- riculturist, spoke on the difficulties of securing cowpeas of unmixed variety for seed F. $. Love. of Montgomery gave practical advice as to Marketing of 1m- proved Seed"
 Other speakers on the programme were q. C. Starcher horticulturist; D. J. Burleson, asronomist; l.. L. Gilbert, az rcultural editor: W. F. Hinds ento1noo- gist and H. B. Tisdale, plant breeder.
 The following officers were elected to serve the association for the first year:
 President. J, A, Wade, Vincent.
 Vice president, E. r. Cauthen. Auburn.
 Secretary treasurer, II. B. Tisdale, Au- burn.
 Other members of the executive com mittee are: c. A. Lawrence Planters vile; F. s. Love. Montgomery.
