Terse Market Notes

NEW YORK, Sept. From the action
of the market one would easily be lead
to conclude that there is a general agree
ment among traders to sell the motor
shares and buy rails.
1t is thought that the rails are at last
independent, not only independent In
control, but also Independent in tnan-
cial way
Interest rates of 51a to 8 does not look
very big in these days, but this is equiv
alent to 10 to 10 per cent on the com
mon stock of many of the roads and the
prices of the shares are still low.
The latest cables from England tell
a sad story-a tremendous majority of
the coal miners have voted for strike.
This will mean stagnation for business
there
A great change has occurred in the
market here. Bonds that were drugs on
the market for long time are now
being absorbed by investors.
Evidently we have reached that stage
in the situation where the capitalists
can see the light of day.
From the standpoint of the stock, how
ever, the money situation still unsatis-
factory and we may look forward to con-
slant fiurries In rates which will give us
sufficient irregularity to make 1t prof
liable to take traders position and be
ready to sell on a bulge as to buy on a
break.
The stock exchange governors will vote
this afternoon on The question of whether
or not the stock exchange will be closed
on Saturday.
1t is reported that the officials Of the
United Mine Workers are urging the men
of the unions to accept the award of the
coal commission and will back President
Wilson in his challenge to insurgents In
the Wilkesbarre district.
n rod
1916, n decline of .27 Twenty active
rails averaged 1850, an increase of .3S.
According to officials of the National
City bank of New York, the general trend
Of business is toward normal and perma-
nent conditions and that the existing dis
orders are no greater than might be ex-
pected in accomplishing the readjust-
ments that are necessary.
1t is probable they say. that the pres
ent deadlock over prices win be adjust
ed early enough to permit a large volume
OF fan business to be done and unless
the price level Is lower than now. seems
likely this trade will necessarily require
some expansion of bank credit.
