Strength in the Rails.

Rail stocks throughout the active list
gave an excellent account of themselve,
following the return from Washington
OF Jerome ]. Hannauer of Kuhn, Loeb a
Co., Charles r. Mitchell OF the National
City Company and Jackson Reynolds of
the First National Bank, who with other
bankers conferred privately with Direc-
tor-General Hines. As a result OF that
visit OF the bankers 20 Washington 1t
was made clear that tho railroad pre-
dicament would be solved without any
great strain on the banks and that no
one in attempting to solve the problem
would try to get further than first base.
The expedient to be adopted Is for the
Administration to issue warrants for
amounts due railroad companies under
rental contracts On those evidences Of
indebtedness cash could be realized by
borrowings from the War Finance Cor
poration. Bankers are somewhat linn
tied regarding acceptance of such war
rants because they are not rediscount-
able at the Federal Reserve Bank.

Traction stocks Irregular.

There was an irregular tendency in
the traction issues yesterday, partcu-
larly marlborough common and pre-
ferred. which sold off substantially in
the morning, recovering part OF their
losses in tho afternoon and closing with
fractional losses for the day. The err
ratio actions Of the shares were attrib-
uted In most quarters to uncertainty
surrounding the increased fare proposal,
once mAA IN the froHt in .hc traction
situation, A joint hearing is to be held
to-day at Albany by the Senate and the
Assembly Public Service committees on
the Carson Martin bill, which II enacted
into law would give the Public Service
Commission power of revising rates on
traction lines Of cities Should the bill be
successful it is confidently expected in
Wall Street that relief in the shape Of
increased fares will be given the Inter
borough and the b +. T., not TO mention
other lines Of the city. Representatives
OF the companies and OF the insurance
corporations, which are large holders OF
traction securities, will attend the hear
ing at Albany and argue in favor of the
bills passage.

Great Northern Ore.

Much buying OF Great Northern Ore
certificates OF beneficial interest Is said
TO be based on belief that so-called divi-
dends paid on the certificates at various
times will not be taxable as income
under the 1918 Federal tax bill 1t Is
known that some Wall Street interests
h.ve for a good while been attempting
to get a ruling on that matter, grounds
for urging that the certificates should
not he taxed being that payments con-
stitute distribution OF assets rather than
dividends on money invested. It is init
mated that some officials concerned with
collection OF income taxes have inti-
mated readiness to take the matter under
advisement. and while II is not probable
that any decision will be made until
some individual application for exemp-
ton shall have been made, there are
evidences that fnal decision will be
favorable TO certificate holders. Another
reason for strength was the announce
ment that the trustees have ordered an
other distribution OF 50 on the certih-
Gates payable on April TO stock OF
record on March 90.

The pool which has been operating In
the tobacco shares is still going strong,
according to consensus Of opinion in
Wall Street-opinion based on actions
OF tobacco issues. American Tobacco
was the particular favorite yesterday
and sold up above 210 for a net gain of
more than 10 points. The total buying of
that stock was close to the 5000 mark, a
large total for it. Tobacco Products,
Tobacco Products rights and United Ci-
gar Stores also participated in the move
ment. There Is said to be large short
interest in the rights recently taken of
Tobacco Products, and that interest Is
declared to have been sent scrambling
in its efforts TO cover. In Cigar Stores
I. Is pointed out that after its sensa-
floral upward movement there was much
buying Of a not especially stable char
acter and that after touching Its high
mark last week the stock slumped four
or FIVE points because Of tho weakened
technical position. Most OF that unsat's-
factory element has been driven out. 1t
Is declared. and the upward movement
once more merely reflects that fact.

War Finance Assfsta nee.

Bankers who conferred in Washington
gathered the impression that the only
limits on loans by the War Finance Cor
poration to railroads while under Fed
eral control for additions. betterments
and road extensions were 100 per cent
Of the full lending power Of the corpora
ton or the amount decided upon by the
directors OF the War Finance Corpora
ton in their discretion. On loans to rail-
road companies while under Federal con-
troll to aid them in meeting maturities
or paying for equipment the law seems
to limit the loaning power to 12h per
cent. of $500. 900. which Is the
amount OF the corporations capital plus
it's bond issuing power in the ratio OF
6 to l. II the War Finance Corporation
calls upon the Treasury Department for
$3.50. 900 900. making its paid in capital

steel shorts Nervous.

notwithstanding all sorts of stories
concerning the steel situation buying OF
United States Steel Corporation and
other steel issues Is continuing, and the
short interest admittedly very heavy, Is
becoming moro and more nervous as
days pass without signs of break in
prices Yesterday Steel common sold up
as high as 98 on heavy demand, which,
with the dividend recently taken of,
represents 100A, a. new high for the
movement Many stories are heard in
Wall Street concerning that stock one Of
the most popular of which seems to be
that insiders, or 'the Steel crowd" is
decidedly bearish on the stock and that
they are talking lower prices not only
for steel products but for securities of
steel producing companies. 1t was that
story more than anything else which
attracted large short interest into tho
Steel Corporation common stock, and the
failure of tho market TO show any i'm
portant weakness among the steel shares
is making those shorts extremely ner-
vous.

Strange News From Australia.

There is interesting connection he
tween extent OF trade built up in this
country with Australia and the despatch
from Melbourne stating that "the Minis
ter OF Customs of Australia has issued
proclamation prohibiting the importation
into the Commonwealth OF all goods other
than those OF British origin" The Ma
tional CITY Bank points out that the
despatch may not be borne out fully by
facts, but in any event will serve to
emphasize the fact that in tho year Inn
mediately preceding the war our exports
TO Australia aggregated s+4.00O,000, and
in 1915 had grown to $4,000 900. The
list includes nearly everything. passen-
ger automobiles alone last year totalling
1921 900, 1t Is significant that imports
from Australia have grown with equal
rapidity. Last year the total value of
such shipments was s7S, 900, against
only about $4,000 in 1914. In 1916
this countrys exports to Australia were
but moderately less than half Of those
OF Great Britain.
