Securities and Money
Market Irregular;
Volume of Trading
Shl.inks Heavily

Fluctuations in the stock market yes
terday offered no clue to future in
dustrial conditions. Securities moved
in both directions, swayed by special
influences rather than any dominant
market factor. In the sharp shrinkage
of the volume of trading the uncer-
tain feeling that prevailed among trad
ers was reflected.
Lack of new information regarding
the efforts of Samuel Gompers and his
associates to induce President Wilson
to arrange a meeting with the officials
of the Steel Corporation paralyzed the
power Of decision of many traders The
steel union officials are scheduled to
meet at the capital to-day, and the gen.
eral disposition in market circles was
to hold off to see what was going to
happen.
AS result, yesterdays market was
the dullest fve-hour session since
March 81. Transactions, which on sew
eral days last week exceeded 100000
shares, were slightly less than 100000
yesterday, and only 236 different issues
of stock we're bought and sold.
Cn the constructive side Mexican
Petroleum was the undisputed leader.
Traders put a high value on the words of
encouragement by Edward L. Doheny,
made public last week in the annual
report Of the company, and Pan-Ameri-
ca, Petroleum also moved upward The
former stock gained 1112 points, and
the latter 2Ss. Fisher Body also stood
out from the general listlessness, rising
to 104, making net gain of 812 points
during the day on the reiteration of
the rumor that the company would be
taken over by the General Motors Cor
poration. -
Toward the close of the trading day
call money rose to per cent and after
3 o'clock touched per cent The up
turn was caused by some calling of
loans by New York and interior banks,
which were preparing for the opera
tions to-day incident to the maturing
of $646,000000 Of certificates of in
debtedness. The putting up of the
rates was regarded as mere furry
The prevailing view in Wall Street was
that easier money conditions would re-
suit from the announcement of new
policy for Treasury borrowing by Sec
retary Glass. Most call loans were
made yesterday at 512 per cent.
Quietude also prevailed in the bond
market. With the exception of the
312s Of the first Liberty loan, Liberty
bonds generally were firmer yesterday
The reduction of the rate on six-month
certificates of indebtedness and the
placing of the Treasury borrowing pro-
gramme on a better basis helped the
outstanding government issues.

In Wall Street
Call Money at 8 Per Cent

Eight per cent for call money at the
close yesterday established new hlgh
for more than month and brought
back memories Of days in July and
August when 10, IL and Is per cent
rates fer demand funds were not un-
common. Sudden tightening Of rates
after they had opened and renewed at
ia per cent was due to preparations
by the bank to meet the $G46, 900, 900
maturity of United States Treasury
certificates of indebtedness to-day.
While the payment of the maturing
issue is largely d matter of bookkeep-
ing it Decessitates a great deal OF
shifting of banking funds and made 1t
necessary for the banks to call loans
actively in the afternoon. This forced
many stock market borrowers to bid
vigorously for accommodation, running
the call rate to per cent at the close.
At that the demand was not satisfied,
and after the close about S3,000,0O0 was
placed on call at per cent. Interior
banks drew on New York for funds
during the course Of the day, adding
TO the increased pressure at this centre.
The condition is only temporary, how
ever, bankers said. They generally
predicted easier money, holding to the
opinion that the announcement of Sec
retary Glass of a reduction in the in
terest rate on new six months issue
of tax certificates of Indebtedness
would be Az per cent, instead of Az
per cent. This is expected to bring
about in time general downward re-
vision of interest rates.

Steel Men Believe Wilson Neutral

Up to yesterday Judge Ebert H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation, had received no in
vitation from President Wilson to con-
fer with representatives of the labor
unions in Washington to-day, and
Wall Street jumped to the conclusion
that the Chief Executive intends not
to interfere in the corporations policy
toward its workers. Despite the threat
contained in the Gomper's telegram
that he steel men could not be held in
leash long if no conference was ar
ranged on the matter Of working con-
ditlons and wages, manufacturers con-
tInued to make statements that they
were not fearful Of a general strike. Ii
IS believed in some quarters that if
one IS called the mills will retaliate

Question-Kndly advise me as to
how you regard United States Steel
preferred stock as an investment Sc
curlty, taking into account the pos
Slblllty OF adverse labor conditions.
What preference does the stock carry?
T. s. NJ
Answer-We regard this stock as a
safe investment and do not believe
that the preferred dividend would be
endangered by strike. The dividend
has been paid regularly since August.
1901, even when the compan, was
going through bad times, and when it
lacked the large liquid reserves it now
possesses. 1t is cumulative and is pre-
ierred as to earnings-tl,at is. the
dividend on it must be paid before the
common stockholders receive anything.
Question Would like to invest some
money in stocks on the partial pay
ment plan. Do you think that Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey at S7OO
share is a good buy? And are John
Muir e. Co. reliable brokers? What
stocks would you recommend for a
salared man who cannot afford to
speculate How do you regard Ohio
Oil and Vacuum Oil Company? What
are the yields on the stocks of the
above three companies? NJ G..
MISUNDERSTANDING Oil of New Jersey
stock is regarded by specialists in the
Standard Oil issues as a speculative
investment proposition, and this ap-
plies practically TO all OF them, in
view Of the hazards necessarily in
volved in this type Of business. The
common stock of the New Jersey COM
pany, as you probably know, is sec
tn, hn oc n n
preferred stock. John Muir & Co., so
far as we know, are reliable brokers.
For man who cannot afford to specu-
late we would recommend the purchase
of high grade bonds or preferred
stocks. For example, Liberty bonds or
railroad bonds at the present selling
levels. The Ohio Oil Con pany re-

CalOmeI Makes
You Sick, Ugh!
"Dodson's Liver Tone" Better Than
CalomeI and Cannot Salivate.

Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It's mercury
quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Gallo
mel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel, just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and cannot salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe.

Trains Tied Up By
Heavy SnowstorIns
In Western States

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 18.-The
storm accompanied by snow, wind
and rain which for twenty-four hours
has demoralized wire connection and
railroad traffic in the territory be-
tween the Missouri River and the
Rocky mountains, and from the Ca
madam border to Oklahoma, is still
in progress and moving eastward,
though with decreasing severity.
While the snowfall in most locali-
ties was comparatively light, high
winds, especially in Nebraska and
Western Kansas, caused huge drifts,
whish delayed rail traffic. All
freight trains were annulled, and on
ly a few passenger trains were able
to get through the big snow drifts af-
ter hours Of delay.
The wet snow and high winds
caused unusutl difficulties for tele-
graph and telephone companies.
No locality reported cold weather
temperatures, being well above zero
and in most places above the freezing
point.
