This Banker Hopeful

A we'll known investment banker ex
pressed the opinion yesterday that
higher stock market prices would be
witnessed in July He bases his be-
lief on the assumption that the cur
rent money strain will be over by the
first Of the month and that the mar
kct with this obstacle eliminated for
the time being will begin to discount
a favorable decision by the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the applica-
tion of the railroads for increased
state that he had been personally in
formed by a member of the Commits
sion that a favorable decision could be
confidently expected. In this CON
ncction c. A. Morse. of Clark. Childs
G. Co. sent the following communica-
tion over the firms wires: "Supple-
menting the information recently sent
YOU on the authority of the secretary
Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, I can now state that member
Of that body, who has always been
known as leaning to the side Of labor
and the shippers, says that the Com
mission expects the findings Of the
Labor Board to be on record not later
will probably take the Commission to
make its recommendation of rate in
creascs, following these findings con-
cernine wages, he/ said that so far as
he was concerned, the Commission
could vote at once. Sentiment in
Washington is becoming more friendly
to the railroad q Sc, and the next
thirty days ought to bring important
developments for the relief OF traffic
and many Of the financial worries
which have been besetting the lines"

New Strike Embargoes
Cripple Steel Plants
Betterment i'm Car and Fuel Sup.
ply Followed by Old
Trouble Again

Return of strike conditions in Penn
sylvania. entailing embargoes at Pittn
burgh, brought new difficulties to the
steel industry, just as a betterment in
car and fuel supply was being felt, ac-
cordng to the current issue of The
Iron Age The paper says that sew
eral Eastern plants have been crippled
by renewal of railroad strikes at Phila :
delpilia and Baltimore and embargoes
at Pittsburgh:
Fuel shortage has driven some pig
iron producers to pay new high prices
for coke, and SIT has been reached in
that market" the paper continues.
Basic pig iron also tends higher. On
the other hand, easier prices are prev
alent in plates and shapes, but with
little promise Of better than 70 or 90
per cent production for many weeks
No significant read justment of finished
steel prices is looked for.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's new order, that all coal cars be
sent empty to the mines. whereas pro
viously 50 per cent had been held for
reloadine with other freight, has been
a fresh hardship to steel mills Thus.
in many cases, steel shipments have
fallen off in last few days.
"Another conference is expected on
sheet and tin plate scale between the
Amalgamatcd Association and indie
pendent producers before June 80, but
a shut down is not unlikely. in the case
of the bar iron mills, the recent fail
ure to agree will not involve shut
down in any event before July 81"
"The Iron Trade Review" viii say
to-day:
"Upsetting Of the amicable relations,
which long have existed between indie
pendent mills and the Amalgamtod As
sociation, accents the reports recently
current of the strong efforts being
made to unionize the entire iron and
steel industry. Following the unsrc-
cessful strike directed by the radical
element last fall, the effects of the
mill shutdown at this time would he
less sweeping. in view of the restricted
operations, which for some weeks have
been forced by transportation condi-
tions. intermittent operations are the
rule yet"

Corn Products May Increase Extra

This weeks revival of buying act:v-

brokerage house gossip, is prcdicated
on prospects Of an Increase in .he
extra dividend disbursement on the

have been made possible by an unex-

since publication Of the last report

Gold GOssip

Talk of gold imports from overseas
persists. Thus far this week S8,000,
600 of gold has come in from Canada,
but this is for the account of the
Minister of Finance Of the Dominion,
and has no known relation to the
Anglo-French loan maturing on
October 49, 1t was rumored yester-
day that in addition to the westward
flow Of gold across the Atlantic Ocean
that is expected there will be further
shipments across the Pacific of gold
from Hong Kong for British account.
More than S22,00O,O0O of gold which
was held in the Chinese city as col
lateral for loan to the government
of the late Admiral Kolchak has al
ready been shipped to this country,
and, although the details of the liqui-
dation Of the loan were not made pub
lie, it is ka own that almost an equal
amount Of gold remains in Hong Kong
and may possibly be shipped here.

No Vote on Extra Holiday

1t was expected that governors of

fortnightly meeting yesterday might
act on the petition of member brokers
that the exchange be closed on the
Saturday preceding Fourth of July as
well as the following Monday, which
this year will be observed as the
national holiday, the Fourth falling on
Sunday. 1t was announced, however,
that the governing committee will not
act on the holiday matter until next
week, when it is expected that defin-
ite line will be had on the Democratic

holiday has been signed by over 400
members Of the exchange.

In Wall Street
AS One Banker Views the Situation

An officer of one of the leading lend
ing Institutions OF Wall Street, who
was extremely pessimistic about the
outlook last fall when industry was
running at the peak, is now turning
optimistic. He says that he is now
beginning to see the other end of the
tunnel. But before business emerges
from present peroleXities, this banker
feels, there VIII be continued tight
money and painful adjustment. He
feels that the country is panic proof
as result OF the working Of the
Federal Reserve system, and sees
gradual, orderly defation as the cure
of existing imitation. which, he says,
IS much greater than preceded the
great panics of former years. The
peak Of commercial borrowing, he eX-
planned, is not likely to be reached
until the fall. and all through the
summer he foresees dullness i'll the
security markets. which, he contends,
have discounted the changing in
dustrial situation

Reasons for Higher Money

In addition to the strain occasioned
by the financial operations incident to
the payment of the June Is installment
Of the income tax, it is said that the
higher call money rate of the past
week has been caused by the refusal
of out of town banks to renew time
loans now maturing. This has been
due undoubtedly to the desire of the
country institutions to put themselves
in shape to meet the heavy July l
interest and dividend disbursements
and to make a good showing when the
next call of the Controller Of the Cur
rency is annuonced.

Despite the fact that call money con-
tinued in scant supply yesterday and
rates duplicated the performance of the

was a feeling that the worst of the re-
cent strain was over. One prominent
investment banker expressed the opin-
ion that the month of July would wit

THE FIRST POLITICIAN
MARTIN VAN buren, was the

MARTIN VAN BUREN, was the
NAfrst machine made politician In
the presidency, and he was more than
that when put to the test; he was the
first Of the presidents to have been
born under the American flag, rather
than under the British, and he and
Roosevelt are the only presidents not
wholly descended from inhabitants of
the United Kingdom.
Sprung from Dutch families on both
sides, Van Buren, married into Dutch
family, and was able to speak the
language Of his ancestors. He was
born and he died in a little Rip Van
Wrinkle village on the east bank of
the Hudson, where his father was a
farmer and incidentally tavern keep
er. Leaving school and entering law

Of our many lawyer presidents has
won a higher rank in his profession.
While only a boy so small that he
had to stand on a bench to address
the jury, he scored his first success at
the bar. AT forty, he retired from
practice with money enough for man

taken for stinginess by the less pru-

Don't fret about the weather when
the mercury flirts with the top of the

Lusitania Life Belt Floats Miles.

Philadelphia, Aug. 3-Scientists
are greatly interested in the probable
route followed by the Lusitania life
belt recently picked up in the Della
ware river off one of the city piers,
in the center of Philadelphia. They
estimated it travelled from 1900 to
$4,000 miles and required more than
five years in its journey.
The Lusitania was torpedoed off
the Irish coast on May z, 1915. Hy-
drographers figure that the belt went
through the Irish sea and around the
north of Scotland; down through the
North sea and the English channel;
down the coast of France and Spain
and Africa. There. the current bore
| it across the Atlantic. Entering the
gulf stream, it was carried north. 1t
escaped from this current and driftcd
to the Delaware capes. Probably
the propeller of steamship caught
1t up at the capes and brought it up
the Delaware. When found afoat it
was 100 miles up the river from the
capes.
The liefbelt was covered with bar
nacles. When these were scraped off
the name of the Lusitania was found
and easily deciphered.
