STRONG ON
PRESIDENTS STAND
Street Sees a Hope Of an Ami
cable Adjustment of Labor
Problem

New York, Aug. 26.-The New York
Evening Sun in its closing financial re-
view today says:
The stand taken by the President
in regard to railway shopmen's strike
demands was directly the influence
which caused the advance of 1 to 7
points in prices in today's stock mar
ket. There was the usual good invest
ment buying and commission houses
were perhaps a bit more animated than
they have been for the last few days,
but it was the pools come to life again,
accompanied by more or less urgent
covering by the shorts which gave the
most telling impulse to the forward
swing.
Trading almost lasped at times, but
the volume of turnover was materially
larger than in recent sessions. The steel
and sugar groups assumed the leader
ship and were well seconded by the
coppers, feathers and numberless indi-
vidual issues.
The rails took second place. They
were firm to strong but did not at
tract buying in force. Reading crossed

ern Pacific. hevered around par, Atchi-
son was close to 03 and SO on,
The Presidents homily, addressed to
the country. balancing so nicely as it
did the claims of labor and the public,
was calculated to inspire confidence by
its firm tone and at the same time i'm
press upon the clamoring workmcn the
desire to be fair to all parties. Whether
strike can be avoided remains to be
seen. but the uncertainty is not likely
to last long as the Brotherhood lead
ers have set about getting the senti-
ment of labor concerning the accept
ance of Mr.. Wilson's offer of four cents
increase against the seventeen cents de-
mandcd.
If the shopmen can be induced to
accept it will be distinct victory for
labor over itself as we'll as one tending
most significantly to help the fight
against the high cost of living. Some
were able to see in such a happy issue
a new era in business and industry
which should rebound to the benefit of
labor as well as of the country as a
whole. 1t was thought possible that
the outcome would be known before the
close of the day, but probably not be-
fore the market session is ended.

General Asphalt preferred was n ~
better. The local utility shares were
firm and unchanged. There was the
same quiet accumulation OF Philadelphia
Electric at par. Lake Superior was
left in the background pending more
definite information concerning the
proposition for the settlement with the
subsidiary railroad bondholders.
The railroad shares came into more
favor which, of course, was attributed
to the broadening Of interest In the
same group In the larger market. United
States Steel retained its attractive
ness as speculative favcrite at prices
ruling close to the New York parity.
The strength in the stock list was i'm
parted on the bonus section Of the cx-
change and some good gains were made
there. A sale of $4,000 United Rail-

According to the testimony Of the
officials of the leading institutions there
is no material change in local money
market conditions. Rates for time loans
remain unchanged. Some of the larger
institutions are taking high grade com
mercial paper and acceptances, but the
market, as a whole, is narrow. The
labor situation continues a ,retarding in
fluence. but If the outlook continues to
brighten as it did today there is likely
to be decided quickening of market.

GENERALLY " HIGHER PRICES

American Ship Suppdnted Electric Storage Battery the
ActiUe Leader-Briu Moves Up . ...

The surrounding favorable influences
contributed to strengthen the local mar
ket and broaden interest in the local
shares. The Presidents conservative
action on the railroad labor question
made the same favorable impression in
local banking and financial circles as
1t did in other parts Of the country.
There is growing opinion in local
financial circles that if the labor situa
tion could be amicably adjusted there
would be an appreciable quickening of
industry and trade on the scale expected
after final adjustment ;of- the peace
question. More than ordinary interest
was attached to the action Of the Mid
vale employees, and IL this sane action
could be accepted as a reliable criterion
on the part of labor in other quarters

BETTER LABOR OUTLOOK
~. .". CHEERS MARKET CIRCLES
Trading Contued Of Highly Specialized CharucteSensd
tiondI Jump in Crucible Steel in Late Trading

New York, Aug. 26.-While today s
market continued of a highly specialized
character, the general temper of the
street was much more cheerful. There
was also an appreciable expansion in
the volume of dealings, and generally
higher range Of prices was established
throughout the list This was in con
sequence of further covering of shorts
and the buying back of stocks by those
who had misjudged the technical po-
sition of the market.
The overshadowing influence was
President Wilson's action on the rail
road labor situation. 1t was the con
sensus of opinion of the better informed
! quarters that the Presidents action
virtually brought the labor question to
crisis and will make the situation bet
ter or worse. The prepondcrant opinion.
however, was that it would result for
the better and bring about what may
be termed as n conservative of uniOnism.
These same interests were of the CON
| fident belief that the action of the Presi
dent will have the effect, directly or
indirectly, in massing public sentiment
against further demands of labor. In
many quarters the opinion was like
wise openly expressed that the labor
situation hSd already excrted its full
force as a disturbing market ractor.
The direct result of this change of
sentiment in market circles fund rctlCc
ton in an elevation of prices from l to
over 10 points. Faithful to its highly
professional character, the wider gains
were recorded by the specialtics, or
those stocks known to be under close
domination by pool and clique inter
ests. This, however, did not deprive the
Improvement of significance. On the
contrary, it served to furnish additional
convincing testimony Hs to the greatly
improved technical position of the mar
ket. This was, of course, evident some
days ago, the scant supply of stocks
today as prices were bid up, furnishing
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-08-26
additional confirmation.


Yesterdays bullish demonstration in
the railroads, coupled with the Presi-
dents conservative decision rs to the
shOpmen's demands, furnished encour-
aging incentive for resumption of the
forward movement when the market
opened. Those on the constructive side
found additional encouragement in the
absence of selling pressure to develop
in any part of the list and also by
the continued absence Of increasing
firmncss in money markets, which was
expected in some quarters as result
of the deficit revealed in Saturdays
bank statement.
Trading throughout tho forenoon
showed n 80 per cent increase over
yesterdays volume. There was the ia
miiar slowing down around mid day,
but the improvement in general was
we'll sustained. while in some of the
highly speculative specialties, the earlier
gains were materially widcned.
The transactions in Crucible Steel
in the afternoon indicated that the short
interest in that sock is being squeezed
by he interests that have been buyers
over period extending back several
months. The stock was bid for from
the opening at steadily advancing prices
and in the last hour two brokers were
in competition bidding against each
other. making the stock sell up sixteen
points. One of the stories current was
that Il short interest of around 40. 900
shares exists in the stock There have
been some changes In the board of di-
reCtors recently, including the passing
of the stock into hands that were in
open opposition to the management at
the annual meeting two years ago. Gen
eral Motors also made sensational as
cent of eleven points, while American
Sugar and Refining and Mexican Pc
trOleum scored gains of over five points.
The general list held we'll and the final
prices were close to the top notch of
the day.
