\ View Of the Stool Str;Lc

One of the New York bankers who
attended the American Bankers Con-
vention at st. Paul offered the follow
ing opinion on the steel strike situa-
ton upon returning TO his desk yes
terday: The steel strike will nrove
to have been the high-water mark in
our period Of social unrest. Business
has been subservient to labor demands
during an abnormal period Of produc-
ton and imitation. If the Steel Cor
poratlon should arbtratc the present
controversy there would recur q re-
crudescent condition. being the signal
for all other so-callcd labor organiza-
tons, smouldering within their barriers
OF imaginary discomfort, to burst out
into flames of extreme radicalism. Con-
sequentiy hrm action on the part Of
the corporation will not only spell
complete defeat for the agitators but
VIII immediately produce a feeling Of
confidence throughout the country"

Unfavorable Reports of the
Presidents Condition and
light Money Cause De-
clincs of | to ) Points

Stock market prices sustained a Sc
we're setback yesterday. A top heavy
speculative position resulting from the
rapidity of the recent recovery, dis
quoting reports regarding the condi-
ton Of President Wilson and tight
money were factors. which, in combina-
tion forced sharp downward revision
in market values.
Temporary rallies occurred from
time to time during the session. but
did not hold. AT the close industrial
shares and the specialtics, particularly
the more volatile issues, registered net
losses ranging from to 5 points. y
Stocks were in liberal supply through
out the day. Most of the selling came
from professional sources, and the
pressure from this quarter served to
induce the liquidation of long accounts
in many parts of the list. Exaggerated
reports bearing on the condition Of the
President reached the Street before the
opening, influencing the course of prices
up to the close
Weakness was confined to single
group, although the largest losses were
recorded in those stocks which have
been bid up most vigorously in recent
days. Crucible Steel. for example,
broke ~ points, to 224; Bethlehem
Steel "B" lost 3ls; American Locomo-
Studebaker, 31s; Baldwin Locomotive,
5la; United Retail Stores, AS; Inter-
national Paper, 27s, and American
Woolen, 4i4. United States Steel
common declined from a high of 1864
to low of 104M, closing just a shade
better, at 104as, off points.
In its consideration of the news re-
garding President Wilson's illness, the
Street paid little attention to reports
from the steel strike, which would
otherwise have been a constructive in
fuence on values. Traders in stocks
were actually less alarmed over the
PRESIDENTS condition than appeared on
the face of developments in the mar
ket. although no attempt was made to
minimize the seriousness Of the abb
sence of the Chief Executive from his
official duties, even for a brief period,
in view of the great problems now be-
fore the country.
Predictions of easier money were not
borne out by the action of the call
money market, where another furry
occurred, which forced rates to 12 per
cent in the middle of the afternoon.
The opening and renewal rate was 7
per cent. After approximately S14,-
100000 OF call funds had been loaned
on the Exchange at II per cent the
banks became more liberal in the offer
ings, with the result that rates dropped
back to per cent at the close
The general fall in prices brought no
increase in the volume of activity, the
turnover on the exchange aggregating
l.296,S00 shares. The number of diff
ferent issues bourht and sold was PIT.

As Railroad Men View II

Many railroad men fail to under
stand the bullish speculation that
breaks out from time to time in the
abroad share list. In some quarters
IT is even predicted that the return Of
the carriers to private control will be
followed by receiverships for a number
OF roads as a result of the unscram-
bling process. Among the problems to
be settled, it is stated are pending
claims on account of compensation
maintenance and the financing of equip
meht purchased by the railroad admin
istration and still unpaid for. Con
slderlng the transportation situation
from its more hopeful aspects. it is
belleved that the end Of punitive
legislation is in sight and that the law
makers and the public have been cdu-
Gated to the view that the railroads are
IN dangerous condition and therefore
