GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
The steel strike.

Professional Wall street. 1t appears,
is doing considerably more worrying
about a strike of the workers in the
steel industry than the men behind the
industry. It wan this peg on which
bears hooked their reactionary drive
yesterday afternoon. The natural tlmid-
ity of many holders, who have seen
quite enough of strikes in the last few
days, did the rest. The assertion of the
organizing committee that 80 per cent.
OF the workers in the Industry are in
favor of a nationwide strike is iuten
with a considerable grain of salt by
leaders in the business. 1t is said that
the members of tho twenty-eight unions
now balioting number under 80 per cent.
OF workers In the trade. This summing
up, from the IRON Age, about reflects
the consensus o. leaders of the industry
here: Pending the actual test of
strength, labor union claims concerning
the strike vote st large steel plants have
been sweeping, hut with continued sup
preston of the fact that the uniors in
various ir cchanical lines are but a frac-
ton OF the whole body of employees.
Strikes may tcme. as they have come in
the last month, at various plants. and
output may be cut down. but 4 g, neral

steel Men silent,

The thing that caused more trouble
than anything else in so far as steel
common itself was concerned in the last
hour Of trading yesterday was the dis
appointment over the fact that Judge
Gary did lot issue the statement to
which everybody had been looking for

Weak Spots.

Two vulnerable points in the market
have been discovered in American ST.

while there Is no connection between the
two the same group that is hammering
away at the tobacco stock is going un-
mercifully after tire shares. The net
loss Of American Sumatra was So

II. Each issue was offered in such vol
ume as to cause point or more between
sales in moments of especial weakness.
Several rlmors are ahoat to account for
the weakness in American Sumatra To-
bacco. One is that its contract with
American Tobacco has been held up and
another Is that its Dutch market is prov
ing unsatisfactory. On the other hand.
interests close to the management say
that earnings are at a satisfactory rate,
much In excess of last year, which was
n particular bad one for this corporation,
due largely to the epidemic o; influenza
among its workers, which greatly cur
tailed production. 1t Is a mystery why
Keystone Tire should be the object of
bear assaults at this time. particularly
when an extra stock dividend of Is per

A Canadian Loan,

Canadian hnanciers are setting the
stage for a $3.50, ooo, 900 loan which will
be offered probably next month. They
endeavored to induce New York bankers
to underwrite OF finance at least a. part
Of the issue. but the New York rate was
found to be too high. Bankers in bar
gaining on the rates for this proposed
new financing have in mind the fact
that such issues as the Union Pacific
conyertibles and Burlington joint As are
selling on a basis to yield per cent, as
we'll as the fact that general conditions
at present do not appear ripe for new
financing Of magnitude. This does not
mean, OF course, that when the new
financing Is brought out there will be nc
subscriptions from the States. On the
contrary, they are likely to be large, for
inventors here have a warm, sympathetic
interest in Canadian affairs. 1t appears
likely, though. that no banking syndicate
will take an active part in the loan.

 "The chief astronomer, Zlkgrz of the Observatory at Krtml, had an- nounced last evening that the phenome- non of the destruction of the planet Earth would probably occur at 8:15 o'clock this morning. It was at that time. he said, there would be a con- cert of the greatest attraction of the Sun, Mars, Venus and Jupiter against Earth.

On his hunting trip into the south west and Colorado, President Roose- Welt was accorded a series of ovations such as only he could inspire. He made many speeches, few of which were ac- cording to schedule. His train was due to pass through Temple, Tex, without stopping, but the city council passed an emergency ordinance compelling the train to remain there three minutes. This pleased the president. En route, he delivered himself of many Roose- veltian epigrams, such as: The honest man wh0 is coward Is of no earthly use to himself or anyone else.''
