WALL ST. REVIEW
AND THE OUTLOOK
Condition Of Security and Other
Markets Shown by Weeks
Developments
PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE

New York, April ~. For nearly
two months the trend Of security prices
has been upward; the advance in Ger
tain groups has been rapid and cx.
tensive; the volume of trading has
steadily increased. until in the week
ending today there was n turnover OF
million or more shares of stock in
each daily session.
Taken as a whole. the market is al
its high point Of the year. and has
reached phase which has provoked the
utterance of cautionary words by the
conservative element in Wall street.
However difficult it may be TO form
definite conclusions as to the course OF
the market in the next few weeks. it is
nevertheless an easy matter to share
in the widespread sentiment of the
financial district, that, happen what
will in the immediate future, within
another six months stocks will command
prices much higher than those now
current. For the moment speculative
sentiment is uncertain, but it is quite
positive. when it comes to a long range
view. that quoted values are headed
UPWARD.
Barring unexpected accidents. this is
the only logical line of reasoning to
; assume. Notable as the recovery in
! stocks has been, it yet has a long way
to go to parallel the depression from
which it is emerging. The history of
the stock market is a chronicle of the
country's economic, industrial and
social progress, and, unless all signs
fail. there is before the United States
an era of industrial and financial lead
ership and expansion promising to
eclipse all former achievements.
The Financial Center
Strangely enough mention is not so
frequently made now as during the
earlier stages of the war that New
York will become the leading financial
center of the world upon the resump
tion of normal conditions. However.
for many purposes it is assuming world
leadership, and, at all events, it is the

STEEL TRADE AFFECTS
ATTITUDE OF WAITING
Pending Settlement of Price
Question Entire Situation
Is "in the Air"

New York. April 19.-"Watchfu1
waiting" These words. which were Sc
popular only few years ago, can be
used to adequately describe the present
attitude to consumers of steel. Not only
is this the policy of those users who
in the past were among the interests
to cover their requirements far ahead
but it is also the policy Of some con =
sumers who could make good use OF
material in the very near future.
However, the prospective buyers are
not the only interests to adopt wait
ing policy. Makers of steel products
also are now watching the develop
ments, pending which the entire situa
ton appears to be Sin the air." The
hope is freely expressed that something
will be done by the Washington au-
thorities in the next few weeks to set :
tie the present disputes once and for all.
It is but natural that the sole topic
of discussion in the steel trade should
be the "muddle," as it is popularity re
ferred to. brought about by the dis
parity of opinions between the mem
bers of the industrial board of the De-
partment of Commerce on the one hand
and Director General of Railroads
Hines on the other.
History on all disputes of this kind
shows that the third party involved is
the chief sufferer, and in this instance
the third party is the great iron and
steel industry OF the United States.
Having no say in the matter, as it
were, the steel producers are neverthe-
less most vitally interested.
1t is certain that by this time the
statistics gathered by the representa-
tiyes of the railroad administration at
their conference with leaders in the steel
industry ten days ago have been sub
mitted to Director Hines, who has not
changed his attitude thus far and who
apparently intends to carry his fight to
a finish.
In the steel trade, the general belief
ia that President Wilson will finally
settle the matter. and there is wide
spread opinion that he will uphold the
decision OF the industrial board on the
question Of prices. Such action, it is
expected, will be followed by purchases

The Commercial Bulletin today says:
Prices in the Philadelphia sales this
week have been hardly as strong as in
the Boston sale last week and with !.
drawals have been heavier, but the
wools have also been poorer, so that,
on the whole, there is little change iu
the situation. The market for fine
goods Is still strong, but late buyers are
not finding it easy to get satisfactory
deliveries. The foreign markets are all
