GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


Optimism tinged virtually every mar
ket letter which went out of the Wall
Street district yesterday. While an or
derby market is expected by most OF the
professionals, due, in large degree. to
the subsiding of the speculation fever
among the public, they look for higher
prices for stocks also. Maury, Rogers
& Auchinclose say that the recent dras-
tic decline has brought about much
more sound condition throughout the en-.
tire list and stocks are beginning to
look attractive again. Halle Stieglitz
advise the purchase of the so-called
weak credit' rails. Hayden, Stone &
Co. foresee a fairly substantial, even
though temporary. reaction from the
wave Of pessimism. Wrenn Bros. &
Co. say: att seems that a partial recov-
cry Is warranted by the technical better
ment." j. s. Bache & Co. believe that
the most beneficial influence which could
be brought to bear on the situation
would be a favorable solution of the
railroad problem. Merrill, Lynch & Co
report that a plan has been worked Out
to stop the drop in foreign exchange and
they believe 1t will have a bullish effeci
on the market e. w. Wagner G Co
hear that several Of the syndicates which
were forced to liquidate have been reor
ganized and that an effort will be made
to check any further liquidation. Clark
Childs & Co. declare that the oomplexit,
of problems of the speculative position
was not relieved to an important degre'
last week. Anderson, Bruins C Co. sa!
that stocks thrown over recklessly las
week are being purchased again on ,
| scale. Josepthal & Co. anticipate |

and technical recovering.

The Rails.

News that the differences between the
United States Railroad Administration
and the bankers and railroad managers
in regard to the financing Of the pro-
posed equipment trusts, have been about
ironed out, and that the issuance of
these securities Is now merely a Ques-
ton of time. had helpful effect on the
rail list yesterday, and Improvement was
noted In both stocks and bonds. During
the last week of liquidation many hold
ere Of rail and Industrial stocks sacri-
feed the slow moving rails to protect
their industrials. AS a result. and in
sympathy with the general market, the
entire group was weak and irregular,
dustrials. There is evidence that these
stocks, which were thrown overheard at
bargain prices, are being gradually alb
sorbed, and probably by stronger inter-
ests. The feeling prevails in Wall Street
that the railroads have seen about the
worst days and that the silver lining is
commencing to shine through the clouds.
Most Of this theory, of course, is based
on progress made by the Senate and
House committees in the direction of an
agreement on prospective railroad legis-
lation. Atchison was about the strongest
rail stock on yesterdays list, advancing
/ " points. Chesapeake and Ohio was
UP 1h points, with smaller advances
registered in almost all the others Rail-
read bonds had Arm undertone, a con-
siderable Investment inquiry being re-
Elected.

was appointed to represent the interests
of the bankers, the railroads and the
Railroad Administration. to attend to
the legal details and TO work out the
understandings, which represented small
concessions by each of the three inter-
ests represented.
AS soon as the lawyers make a report
the bankers will proceed with the work
of floating the equipment trust. This
may take a month or six weeks, but the
men who were at the meeting hope TO
get the issue under way before the end

The Brokers' Risk.

The Odd Lot Revteto gives the report
of an expensive odd lot account with a
large Wall Street house handled last
week. The commission house, SO the
story goes, received an order from a GUS
toner to sell some scrip less than one
share of stock. In fact it was less than
a quarter Of a share. to be exact, 21-IOO
of share. THE order was given cor
rectly by the order clerk in the office

telephone clerk on the Exchange. how
ever, misunderstood the order. receiving
1t as 2,100 shares instead of 21-l00
shares. The 2,1O0 shares were sold on
the exchange, This was Just before the
sharp upturn In prices. When the re-
port OF the sale came in and the error
was discovered the firm attempted to
buy back the stock oversold. The stock
had jumped 7 points and the firm was
out a loss OF almost $4,000. The COM
mission the firm received on the scrip
order was no more than $3.50"
