study the hotel rates OF General

Improved Labor
Outlook Helps
Stock Market

Reports received over Labor Day in
dicating that the labor problem would
be attacked intelligently, instead of
heatedly, tended yesterday to remove
the restraints on the stock market, and
prices, particularly Of industrial stocks.
mounted sharply.
The apparent clearing Of the atmos-
phere gave outsiders courage to pur-
chase securities for the rise, and their
orders, in conjunction with short cov-
ering and purchases of stock on tho
long side by professional operators.
carried virtually the whole list of Sc
curities upward. In brokerage circles
1t was remarked that the short interest
in the market is still extremely large,
especially in Steel common.
Traders in securities interpreted tho
recommendation of special committee
Of the New York State liberation Of
Labor that no strikes be declared for
six months as sign Of more con-
c'liatory attitude on the part of re-
sponsible spokesmen for labor in thi,
country The conference, proposed by
the President, although holding out tho
possibility Of bringing about changes
which cannot be foreseen, was also re-
garded as evidence that the whole mat
ter OF industrial unrest might be rene
died without fundamentally upsettins
industry and commerce.
This new attitude led traders to as
sumo that the market in the first weeks
in August had overdiscounted the ef-
fects Of dissatisfaction over working
conditions and the cost of living. More
over, the introduction of the Cummings
bill as the product of the Senate In.
terstate Commerce subcommittee fur
ther heightened the feeling of the
speculative community, which had been
greatly perturbed a few weeks ago
over the possibility that the Plumb plan
for solving the railroad riddle might
receive serious consideration.
The f1uctuation of stock prices yes
terday did not reflect the attitude of
Wall Street to the special provisions
Of the Cummings bill, about which
there is much difference Of opinion, al
though brokers point out that if it be-
came law the value of the low credit
rails might become enhanced.

gossip was heard about the suffering
of the shorts. Total transactions yes

251 different kinds of stocks were

In Wall Street
CrucihIe Rise Still 4 Mystery

The sensational manner in which
Cruclble Steel continues to climb is
ono OF tho Wall Street mysteries yet
unsoived, although one can hear almost
any sort Of story to account for the
strength in the stock. As ono broker
put 1t yesterday: II hear that the COM
pany Is going to give to each share
holder 100 per cent stock dividend,
100 per cent in Liberty bonds and a
diamond stick pin" The one fact that
seems to stand out in the Crucible
situation is that large short interest
is being badly punished by clique
that seems TO know where most of the
stock is located. One operator Is said
to haave been short $4,000 shares,
and according to brokerage gossip, is
still fighting the rise. At its top
price of 1881 yesterday Crucible estab-
lshed new high and at its closing
quotation Of 177H net advance Of
13 points had been recorded.

" ell Fortified Farmers


Bankers in touch with conditions
in the Far West, where the crops
have deterorated as result of the
drouth there, declare that the far
mers, with several years of prosper
ity behind them. will be able to with
stand the diminution of prolcts.
which now seems certain. The
failure of the wheat crop to come up
to early forecast, it is argued. will
bring the real value of wheat closer
to the guaranteed price than it other
wise would have been. In the West.
the farmers contend that under free
conditions of supply and demand the
price OF wheat would soar to 81 a
bushel, whereas in Europe it is fire.
quently asserted that without tho
guarantee wheat would sell at 81.

Cummins Bill Studied

The Cummins railroad bill, submit
ted yesterday to the Senate, was the
subject Of much interested comment
IN the financial district. The first i'm
preston was that under the proposed
system OF private control, private
management of the transportation
machine would be restricted in a
much greater measure than under the
old regime, before the government
took the railroads over as a war meas
uer. THE plan marks consider
able departure from private owner
ship as formerly conceived" was the
comment of one fnancier. The intro
duction of the bill by the Iowa
Senator exerted little influence in the
stock market, most of the activity be-
ing centred in the industrial LIST.
New-York tribune., 1919-09-03
Exchanges Still Declining

The further decline in foreign ex-
change rates on London, Paris, Rome,
and Berlin yesterday bore out the as
sertion Of bankers that the recovery
that lasted for week was temnorarv
and was based on no real solution Of
the international financial problems.
flnanclers reiterate credit must be
extended if exports to Europe are to
continue. Investment bankers here
have several loans 10 individual
countries in the Old World under
negotiation. but it was said yesterday
that none has as vet been consum-
mated
New-York tribune., 1919-09-03
Public Buying Reported

Brokers reported substantial
amount Of public buying in yesterdays
market which they attributed to a feel
ing that the labor problem is on the
eve of solution. Last weeks upturn,
it was stated, was due mainly to the
closing out of transactions by traders
who had sold in anticipation Of lower
prices. The opinion was also expressed
that the short interest was still large
and that this condition, with the out
SIDE participation, was probably the
chief cause for yesterdays buoyant
tendency. The tone Of many market
letters sent out last night was still
optimistic.

Extravaganza is largely responsible

vailing ability and disposition to in
dulge in extravagant expenditures"
said the banker, "seems to me to ac-
count largely for high commodity

when money is less easily made and
less frequently spent than it is at
