New York, July 3-Every great

Broadway in 1852, he made a study
of New York's traffic needs. He
reported conditions lin the main

MONEY A BIG FACTOR

During the past week there has
been what Is regarded as impress
i've buying of securities with the
'esult that prices easily moved Into
lew high territory on the present
upward movement. The rise in
6'ices was fairly general, including
he steels, coppers. oils and motors,
Rhile there also was some better
fient displayed in the rails. 1t was
Itated in banking quarters 40 the
:iose on Friday that much of the
,uying had been in the expectation
mat money rates will rule easier
.pr the next three or four weeks
secause of the belief that large
mounts which have been tempo
.arily Withdrawn from the usual
sanklng channels will have re-
Hrned and again will be available
Cor credit facilities. The United
states government withdrew sub
dsntial amounts from the banks in
sonnection with Treasury certill-
sate maturities, etc. and there also
Yss an unusually large demand for
s1oney for the purpose Of meeting
fully 1 interest and dividend dis
sursements as well as numerous
axes. This naturally resulted in
ihe switching of accounts and
hereby caused a considerable stiff
:eninE of rates for call funds, the
1igh for the week having. been Is
yer cent. Bankers said that they
iid not expect a return of these
ugh interest rates for some little
inne to come.
The shipping shares were strong
or the most part of the week, but
particularly on Friday when At
ahtic. Gulf & West Indies and In
.ernational Mercantile Marine pre-
erred each advanced materially. 1t
vas reported that the representa-
ives of the North German Lloyd
steamship Company. who are now
n Kew York. are negotiating with
representatives of the Marine COM
sany with I view to establishing
Ihipping relations of an important
character. This report. however,
acked confirmation, but was given
uficient consideration to bring
Ibout a sharp upward movement In
he Marine stocks.

4. s. Steel.

United States Steel common, al
though rather inactive for the most
part OF the week, closed at around
"a on Friday which is the highest
quotation that has been recorded
:or the issue in more than a fort
aight. 1t was remarked in stock
market circles that the compara-
i've inactivity in this stock which
m the past h-5 been regarded as
,ne of the M a-Eet leaIers indicated
that the issue is passing into the
investment class. and that there
nay not be big swings in it in the
future. This view, however, was
not entertained by the rank and
lie where it Is contended that with
any signs of an upward general
trend in the market Steel common
will hold its own and perhaps
again assume its market leader

Market Leaders.

Market Leaders.
Baldwin Locomotive and Crucible
Steel were among the leaders of
he stock market near the close OF
the week, each advancing to new
high quotations on the present up
ward movement 1t was said that
The buying of these stocks has been
by strong interests thoroughly con-
yersant with the affairs of these
TWO corporations and that the ex-
psctation is for still further bet
eorment marketwise by each. OBJ
yiously there have been and still
continue pool activities in both
those stocks and the manner in
which they acted on Thursday and
Friday indicated that the mana
gers of such syndicates had the
control of the market perfectly In
their hands.
The action OF the railroad man
ayers in deciding upon a plan call
Ing for the pooling of cars in order
to overcome the freight congestion
was favorably interpreted in Wall
Street, but there was only a mod
srate reflection of the satisfaction
entertained over this development
In security prices for this group of
Issues. Some of the low priced
stocks such as Southern Railway,
New Haven, Rock Island, Missouri
Pacifc, etc, advanced from a small
fraction to but about a point, but
the hesitancy on the part of the
rails was thought to have been due
10 a desire on the part of market
operators to await the decision of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion relative to the proposed
freight rate advance and also the
decision of the special board ap-
pointed by the President to settle
The railroad wage controversy
which has been under considera-
ton for some time past. Eventual
ly IL is felt there may take place a
moderate upward movement in the
rails.
Bankers said that in view of the
comparatively quiet tone which has
obtained in the stock market for
the past couple of months. most
stocks are in thoroughly liquid
position which warrants the expec-
sation that with any decided I'm
proyement in money market condi-
tions a substantial rise might easi-
~ take place through the list as a
whole. Stock exchange loans are
said to be smaller than in ordinary
times by substantial amount and
this also Is a factor in the right
direction. The public has not par
ticipated In stock market activities
TO any appreciable extent for sew
eral weeks past and probably will
not be induced to entertain fresh
commitments until after there has
been a demonstration OF the possi-
oilities Of . sustained upward
m4yemsnt.

And what if they don't? Surely it
is very restful and hygienic diver
sion to idle an hour or so on the
oceans edge, swept by Gods purest
air and salt-laden breeZes. But SO
far as that goes, these velvet bathing
suits will stand the water as Well as
many of the other fabrics that have
always been selected for bathing
suits. And, what is more, 1t isn't a
startlingly new idea, either. One ex-
elusive maker of bathing suits has
been putting out velvet surf costumes
for several seasons. 1t is only re.
Gently that they came to the general
notice.

Duvetyn, first cousin to velvet. is
another fabric that has been taken up
