GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Holding or.

Wall Street showed marked dispo-
sition to await the outcome of this
afternoons meeting of the directors of
the United States Steel Corporation be-
fore entering into many commitments
on either side Of the stock market. The
reports concerning the probable action
OF the directors OH the Steel common
dividend are SO many and so varied
that the whole Street Is in utter con-
fusion with respect to the stock. and
while one group had been selling heavily
on bearish rumors another had been
covering or buying for long account on
bullish theories, and thus virtually all
operations have been suspended for the
time, and neither one nor the other ele-
ment was doing anything yesterday in
the market All sorts of stories were
heard One trader had 1t from a d.
rector" that the dividend was to be un-
changed. and another was told, also
by n director" that the dividend was
10 be cut SO that Steel common would
be on an 8 per cent. basis. Between the
two was another. whose information
was equally authoritative. that the div-
dend would be / i per cent. regular. and
like amount extra, making 10 per
cent. annual basis. AS a result Of the
conflicting rumors Steel traders were
disposed to hold their fire until they
lad something more definite upon which

Pool Talk.

Now that money restrictions have been
removed about all the talk that can be
heard In the commission houses is the
operation OF pools in this. that and the
other thing. II comment heard about
the Street could DO believed. there would
he few stocks on the list in which pools
are not forming or operating. and a
trader might buy any stock which struck
his fancy and be sure to make profit
as n result OF an upward toss by the
pool. 1t is true that there arc a few
issues in which pools are forming since
the removal OF money restrictions gives
them freer reign. II Is equally true that
many pools which were formed some
time ago but which were not permitted
to operate extensively because Of in
ability to get SUFFICIENT funds, are again
"goin' good" There is hardly a low
priced stock on the list or many kish
priced issues which are not mentioned a.
potential pool possibilities.

The shares OF the various shipping
concerns did not take very favorably to
the announcement made yesterday by
British shipping interests that a cut Of
two-thirds had been made in trans
Atlantic rates With visions OF tre-
mendous cuts In earnings not counter
balanced by similar cuts In operating
costs, traders sold the shipping shares
heavily and as result the Marine issues
and Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies de-
cl!ned sharply. In some quarters the
view Is taken that the decline WAS too
abrupt and was not warranted by the
rate cut. One man declared that the
tremendously increased business which
will, he said. be the result Of the cut
in rates Will make up to large extent
at least for the decreased income an
ticipated. He pointed out that a VAST
store of materials has been held up In
the United States pending a reduction
OF rates and that virtually all OF II will
be released for immediate shipment.

newed attention yesterday when they
rose TO 6S. four points for the day and
20 points above the low price registered
early this month. The rise followed the
news thatsa banker. who sailed Saturday
on tho Lapland will discuss while abroad
the question of paying off the loan at
maturity, thus preventing default by
the Russian Government. Before sailing
the banker is reported TO have said that
default In the issue would make Rus
sias borrowing money in this country
extremely difficult for a long time to
come and that Russia In future must look
TO this country for funds for her eco
nomic development. The interest on the
issue has been met with regularity by
funds mysteriously deposited In the

payment was made about two weeks ago

Bankers profess to see considerable
significance in the transfer OF three old
established national banks IN this state
from the national banking system TO tho
functions OF State institutions. The First
National Bank of Syracuse went into
liquidation in order TO consolidate It's
resources with the First Trust and De-
post Company OF Onondaga. The Ma
tional Bank OF Syracuse merged with
the Syracuse Trust Company. The
Marine National Bank OF Buffalo since
reorganization into the Marine Trust
Company or Buffalo has voted to in
crease It's capital from 100000 to
100000. State banks have more lib-
eral powers and in addition there have
been complaints Of the increasing cost of
bank examinations In four years the
number of state banks has increased
1895, while the number OF nationals has
advanced only $50.

~ part in helping the news
papers of the country to
cover the fight between Jess

others using the extra service
given for the occasion by the
regular planes of the postal air
service.
One New York paper used
two planes to carry its news
dispatches and photographs to
Ne. wYork, in addition to di-
rect wire from the ringside to
the telegraph desk.
The New York World had
its own machine, which out
classes the postal planes in
speed. The Worlds plane has
made .125 miles an hour in
trials and is said to be capable
of 140 miles an hour under fa-
vorable conditions.
In order that the newspapers
in Chicago and Cleveland

nnR. DODD has returned
YTfk from Washington con-
fidcnt of the eventual
success of the Mckay reservoir
and hopeful of action by the

brings is cheering and it should
be followed up by consistent,
persistent work with the aim
of keeping the needs of this i'm

The Mckay reservoir must
be secured because the West
Ends needs the water in order
to attain the productivity that
is desired in that region.
Whether it takes one year or 10
years there should be no abate-
ment of interest on the part of
our people. The more zeal we
put into the fight the sooner
will the reservoir be obtained.
