Open silver Market.

With the lifting OF the last govern
mental restriction on the silver market.
traders in metal found themselves al
together at sea yesterday as 10 what
sort Of quotations to make. As a result
the market was nominal. The price had
been fixed by the Government at $1.01 u
Sales were reported yesterday at $l.02
to $1,04. A despatch from Boston
quoted a sale there at $1.10. London
heretofore literally has ruled the silver
market. hut experts are OF the opinion
that that domination will be transferred
to New York when the market opens.
China is reported to need $4,000. 900
ounces. midas needs were supplied by
exports during the time the price was
nxed. Scandinavian countries and Rus
sia are expected to come into the market.
In connection with those expected de-
mands. It Is worthy of note that the cop
per companies which produce silver as a
side line have reduced their production
40 to 90 per cent. Experts in the mar
ket anticipate higher prices. All silver
stocks and those OF copper companies
which produce silver were higher yes
terday.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
To-dax,s Steel Conference.

Tho steel trade is not widely excited
about the conference on. steel prices to
be held to-day at the Plaza Hotel be-
tween representatives of the Railroad
Administration and steel manufacturers
II Is the opinion In Wall Street that an
amicable settlement cannot be reached
and that the inevitable result Is an open
market with everybody-the railroads
included-buying steel wherever they
can get It the cheapest At least that
is the point of view of the manufactur-
ers. who in the words of one trade au-
thority, hold four aces and the Joker"
Nevertheless The conference will be
watched with interest by the Street. not
for what II is expected to bring forth,
but for what II might bring forth. The
Iron Age to-day declares that a 50 con-
cession on rails would meet tho situa-
ton, but that such q reduction hat
been reviewed once by the rail mills
with an accompanying exhibit of costs
and to-day with output still falling
overhead, as the producers may show
has brought costs UP higher. This au-
thority adds: "If the meeting can brine
only the cutting OF the knot and leave
the industry free from deadly Govern.
ment paltering, there are signs tina
betterment will be seen. Whatever III
result in tho way Of railroad buying, the
interview is not expected to influence
greatly. IL at all. the general price
levels"

Congress and Wall Street.

1t Is not a difficult mental process to
bark back to the days when the financial
fraternity was literally scared to death
Of Congress. The two bodies had no
use for each other and let few oppor-
tunities slip by to show it But consid-
cradle water has passed over the wheel
since those old days, and now Wall
Street is overjoyed that Congress has
been called to meet in special session on
May 10 So what used to be bear
argument and factor Of significance has
become a bullish one. and the coming
session and its legislation was used all
day yesterday as basis for an i'm
proved market in the rails. For 1t Is
expected confidently in the financial dis
trict that some action to drag the rail-
roads out OF the slough of despair will
be taken. A deficit of $192.000.0 900 for
the first three months OF 1919. as re-
aected in the report OF the Railroad Ad-
ministratior, was given little more than
passing attention in the market and the
rails were bought Just the same. Most
Of the financial fraternity believes that
the worst things that could happen to
the railroads have happened and that
there is only one way for the stocks
to go.

OIL Stocks Advance.

One had to look further back than the
news Of the day to find basis for the
heavy volume Of buying orders for first
class oil stocks which struck the market
yesterday and which sent two OF them
Texas and Sinclair-to new high records
for all time. There was some under
ground gossip OF a consolidation In the
Sinclair property. OF further purchases
in the West by Royal Dutch and OF ex-
pansion In the Ranger field by Texas
Company. but none of it was OF n def
mite nature and the prices were made in
the market rather than in the oil fields,
Texas Company gained Is points and at
its best sold at $50. Sinclair touched
67%, beating its former high OF g. u
established in 1916. while Royal Dutch
gained four points and the New York
shares of that company gained AS. On
the curb all OF the Standard Oil issues
were strong and active under heavy
demand. Mexican Petroleum was the
one oil issue on the big board that did
not move and appeared to be under con-
slant pressure all day.
The sun., 1919-05-08
Money Market.

There Is a word of warning for the
market in the letter issued yesterday by
the Mechanics and Metals National
Bank. Gates W. McGarrah its presi-
dent, was at the head of the so-called
money committee during the war. The
letter says: mo attempt has been made
during the Victory Loan to regulate
disposition Of credit accommodations by
means OF a central governing commit
tee of bankers like that appointed for
the purpose during preceding loans A
certain control over the granting and
calling OF loans has nevertheless kept
the money market on an even keel and
II Is likely to bear good results after
the Immediate subscription period is
ended and the financing OF the coun-
try's general business receives undivided
attention again. 1t Is impossible to
forecast the volume of money that will
be needed to finance the domestic and
foreign trade Of the country this year
or to move the crops. So much depends
on volume for one thing and on price
for another. For the present the out
look for trade IL that the volume will
be improved upon as the year advances,
while for crops the outlook Is excellent.
Nevertheless there are SO many extraor-
binary factors contributing to shape
events that We cannot say confidently
Just how money rates will move. The
country's large gold reserve and the
smooth functioning of the Federal re-
serve system are elements in favor of an
easy money market But on the other
hand. the burden OF financing our ex-
port trade henceforward will more than
ever be borne by the money market"
