Marshal Foch praised the work Oh

Your soldiers were superb. They
came to us young, enthusiastic and

admirable gallantry.

Stocks Advance
Again i'm Face of
Unfavorable News
Professional Traders Ignore
Coal Strike Develop
ments and Further De-
cline in Exchange Rates

Striking evidence Of the purely pro-
fessional character Of the stock mar
ket was afforded yesterday, when
prices advanced in the face of news
that would almost certainly have
caused decline if the public had an
important interest in the market. The
advance was produced chiefly by re-
purchases of those who had sold short
for the decline. The upward movement
was accelerated, however. by purchases
of traders who saw that the reaction
had spent it's force, and who therefore
bought for turn.
The one favorable news development
of the day, from the Wall Street view
point, was that sections Of the annual
report of the Secretary of the Treas
ury in which he recommended lower
excess profits taxes, even though it
should be necessary to increase the
normal imposts in order to bring the
reductions about. But this was hard
ly an important market factor, since
traders are not looking far ahead. be-
ing satisfied with a profit of point
or two either way.
side of the days balance sheet of news
were more than sufficient to outweigh
the possibility of a less severe levy
on future profits. Reports from va
rious sources indicated that the short
age of coal was already seriously en-
barrassing good many industrial
plants, and that drastic curtaiment of
production might be expected to ensue
if settlement of the coal strike should
be long delayed. With the demand
for goods already far in excess of the
I.,o
activity might have very serious re-
suits. Higher prices for the commodi-
ties affected by fuel shortage, whether
through priority orders or otherwise,
appear to be inevitable unless an early
settlement is made. Iron prices have
advanced sharply within the last few
days, owing to fears that blast fur
naces would have to shut down be-
cause of lack of fuel.
A further slump in foreign ex-
changes, which carried rates to new
low levels in many cases, was another
disturbing factor. 1t is generally re-
to the difficulties of our foreign GUS
toners and thus reacts adversely on
our export trade. Wall Street regard
ed the outlook in this direction with
extreme pessimism after reading the
remarks of Secretary Glass on the
subject. Mr.. Glass takes the position
that the financing of foreign trade
should be left to private institutions
rather than to the government. Bank
ers assert, however, that the task is
beyond their powers unless the gov
ernment will cooperate actively. They
point out that foreign government Sc
curities have not been very enthusias-
tically received of late by American in
vestors, and state that the banks can
not themselves advance the necessary
credits.

Coal Shortage
May Gut Steel
Output Heavily
Some Blast Furnaces Already
Banked Owing to Lack of
Fuel; Iron Prices Advance

The iron and steel industry of tho
country has already been seriously af-
fected by the Fuel Administrations
order restricting coal supplies, and op-
erations will soon face drastic curtall-
mont unless coal output can be ma
terially increased. This is the belief
of "The Iron Age" which states that
the return to the wartime ban on GER
tain uses of fuel will place the steel
industry much further down on the
essential list than in the heatless days
of 1918.
"The Bethlehem Steel Corporation 4"
says this publication, has been COM
PEELED to bank four blast furnaces. At
South Chicago the Illinois Steel Com
pany has banked five blast furnaces
and blown out one. 1t has blown out
one at Gary and shut down two bat
teries of coke ovens at Gary and one
at Joliet Most of the bar iron and
rerolling mills in the Chicago district
are idle and two iron mills at Clove-
land. Secondary industries are being
affected also, an Indiana nut and bolt
plant having been forced to close
down.
Business Piling Up
with the coal situation so much
more threatening, steel companies have
brought their sales departments to a
standstill, but meantime demand is
coming in from all directions. so that
business to the extent of tens of thou
sands of tons is .piling up that the
mills cannot consider"
The coal scarcity and the fear Of
fresh curtailment of blast furnace
output have caused further sharp rise
in pig iron, the weeks advance being
from 81 to $3 ton. Pig iron produc-
ton made a marked recovery in No
vember from the October slump, due
to the steel strike. Last months total
was 2,392,35o tons, or 79745 tons per
day, contrasted with l,863,55 tons in
October, or COILS tons day.

Endicott-Johnson Pays Extra

Reports that Endicott-J ohnson di-
rectors would declare a stock dividend
in addition to an increase in the cash
disbursement, did not materialize at
yesterdays meeting. No stock dividend
was authorized, but the board, besides
declaring the usual quarterly dividend
OF $1.25 share, voted an extra dis
tribution of 81 share on the common,
which brought the total dividends for
1919 up to SIS share, or 10 per cent
on the $14,OO0,000 common stock, whose
shares have par value Of $50 each

Says Fake Promoters
Discourage Saving
Advertising Man Calls for Wide
Publicity to Foster Wise
Investment

America should lead the world in
savings accounts if the people of the
country will cultivate habits of thrift.
according to Rudolph Guenther, presi-
dent of Rudolph Guenther, Russell
Law, Inc, of New York, financial ad-
vertising experts.
Wages are higher in the United
States than anywhere else" Mr.. Guen-
ther said, land. therefore, Americans
could and should be easily first in
the matter of annual savings.
Saving and investing have been
cruelty discouraged in this country by
the activities of thousands of unscru-
pulous promoters who, under the guise
of BROKERS' swindle the public out of
millions annually.
Every dollar flched by dishonest
broker from a small investor is a
weapon turned against all that honest
capital stands for By spreading
among the growing army of investors
IN this country statements showing
their condition, thriving corporations
would do much toward selling their
bonds and stocks and would divert
hundreds OF millions Of dollars from
unsafe to safe investment channels.
Clean cut, above board publicity
costs money, but it brings returns
which are far greater not only in i'm
mediate financial ways but in improved
confidence on the part of the public
in so-called big business.
ut is the duty of the bankers to
put their shoulders to the wheel and
help educate the people in the advan.
ages of being bank depositors, and
trustworthy brokers and bond dealers
should not permit unworthy dealers to
monopolize the publicity field.
Make the little man "a sovnr ,rJ

Interboro Loan Report Denied

Recent recOVerles IN the Inter-

the company had been able to arrange
loan with bankers which would en-
able it to meet its January J. interest

president of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany and chairman Of the protective
committee representing the Inter Net

that no arrangements for loan had
been made. The Interborough RAPID

awhat Do You Think of the Market" ?"

A prominent Wall Street economist:
"I can see nothing favorable in the
immediate outlook. The coal strike is
apparently developing into more seri-
Gus situation than had been expected
owing to the interference of the Fuel
Administrator. The foreign situation
is threatening and it looks as if Europe
is going to have hard time getting
through the winter. The drop in sterl-
ing exchange is already being reflected
in lower ocean freight rates, due to the
lessening demand for bottoms. Still,
there are many people who insist on
buying stocks in the belief that the
country has before it at least two years
of great prosperity and, should favor

Money and Credit

Flow of funds from the interior and
a reduced demand for money for specu-
lative purposes resulted in increasing
ease in the call money market yester-
day, where renewals were made at 6
per cent and the rate dropped to 5 Il
per cent at the close. The condition is
believed to be only temporary, however,
as the strain on the banks between now
and the end of the year is expected to
increase rather than diminish. The

result in the tieing up of larger
