Rails Make Gains
Despite U nsettled
Tone of Market
Trading Element Appears
Content to Await Out
side Developments; Prog
ress Of Strike Watched

Stocks again yesterday had to con-
tend with numerous adverse influences,
and the highly irregular and uncertain
movement of prices reflected rather .ac-
curately the state of mind of the aver
age trader IN speculative securities.
AS on Monday, the trading element ap-
peared to be content TO await develop
ments outside of the market, and this
resulted in a somewhat quieter session
In which there were few outstanding
features. The rail shares formed per-
haps the most prominent group, and
here the trend was upward. with num-
Der of the more representative issues
like New York Central, Norfolk &
Western, Union Pacific, Reading and
Canadian Pacific showing substantial
net gains at the close
ihe progress of the strike Of Eng
llsh miners was closely watched by
wall Street, and reports of a possible
compromise between the government
and the strikers probably accounted in
measure for the firmer tone displayed
by the majority of shares at the close.
Sterling exchange, which was depressed
early in the day to $3.4O14, setting a
nv" iON 1eCOIu lOT tIc current UeCllN-
ing movement, rallied nearly cents
IN the pound on the more hopeful strike

pose of creating dollar balances in New
York to be used to buy American coal
and fuel oil in the event the English

side
Although the government withdrew
S3l 100000 from the local banks yester-
day the call money market was not
disturbed. Stock market borrowers
found a renewal rate of 7 per cent at
the opening, after which the rate eased
off to 6 per cent in the afternoon. To-
morrow Withdrawals on gOvernme
account will amount to 500 ,000 900. The
effect of these Withdrawals upon the
local money market is minimzed by
the rapidity with which the funds flow
back into the banks, which explains
largely why money rates have been
fairly stable of late despite the heavy
Withdrawals during the last fortnight:
The cotton and grain markets moved
in opposite directions. Cotton enjoyed
a vigorous recovery, the first important
reaction from the steady decline in
some time. The better tone in the
cotton market was plainly due to the
fact that the selling movement had
been overdone, at least temporarily.
Grain prices were adversely affected by
increased offerings, particularly for
Canadian account. Corn touched a
new low record for the season.

Convertible Railroad Bonds

1t is the opinion of some observers
That the security market Of the next
few months will be primarily a rail
road market, and recent performances
serve to confirm this belief. Among
brokers there is tendency to stress
the double attractiveness of the rail
road convertible bond. AS bond it
IS pointed out, that this security carries
all the assurance and safety which Gus
tomaTily attends an issue of this char
acter. offering as we'll the speculative
advantages of a common stock. at is,
perhaps, Tot going too far" said a
Broadway wire house yesterday, "to
say that the holder of a convertible
bond is assured OF somewhat better
market for his security than is the
holder of a non-convertible bond. This
IS especially |rue if the stock into
which the bond is convertible enjoys a
broad and active market. In that case
the price of the convertible bond close
ly follows that of the stock, sometime 5
selling at a premium, provided the
stock rises above the conversion price.
Past experience has proven that while
convertible bonds readily follow the
rrice Of the common stocks into which
they are convertible in rising market.

In Wall Street
London News Helps Market

The course Of stock market prices
at the moment seems to be under the
direct influence of the news regarding
the great strike Of British coal miners.
Dispatches on Monday saying that
there had been serious outbreak BY
the unemployed in front of the resi-
dence of Lloyd George caused traders
to sell stocks, and declines were the
rule at the close. Yesterday the con-
verse was true, Prices moved sharply
up&ard on the cables that the way to
negotiations for settlement of the
strike had been opened by labor
member Of Parliament It WAS evident
that shorts had become nervous over
the possibility of an adjudication of
the differences between the coal miners
and the government and decided TO
cover stocks that had been sold for a
fall. There was little indication, how
ever, that the public had entered the
market TO reap the benefits Of the
much heralded prediction rally.

Sears, ROebuck

The placing of premium on loans
Of Sears, Roebuck stock and the report
that odd lot houses had refused to ac-
cept short sales for the time being
caused considerable amount of COW

the close it had scored a rise of
points from Mondays last sale OF

is no Justification for any prediction

The Aetna-Hercules Deal

Despite the statement Of officials of
the Aetna Explosives Company that
they know nothing of the reported ne
gotlations involving sale Of the plants
TO the Hercules Powder Company, GER
tam directors express themselves as
confident that the deal will go through.
Although the conversations between
the interests in the two companies
have been shrouded in secrecy, it was
said yesterday by representative Of
certain Aetna stockholding interests
that the company's shareholders have
been offered $1025 a share for their
cules Powder preferred.

Shrinkage in Cotton Values

The statement Of Secretary Mere
dith before the American Bankers AS
sociation convention yesterday, as re-
ported here, that at existing prices the
present cotton crop Of about 100000
bales would lack more than 1888, ,O0O,-
600 of bringing as much as it would
have brought a year ago attracted
much attention in the cotton trade.
Many were surprised at the Secretary's
figures, for they had figured the defla-
ton at about IA cents pound, or
about $40, ,ooo, 900. The slump from
the even higher level of last spring
and summer, it was estimated, would
entail loss to the Southern farmers
Of about $1,000, 100000. Secretary Mere
oith's estimate of the loss in corn at
81 1000, 100000, it was pointed out, was
far below prevailing estimates Of as
high as $1,s65,00O,00O in The slump
from mid-July, which carried values

United Fruit

Talk Of either an Sxtra cash or stock
dividend on United Fruit was revived
Yesterday when the stock spurted from
.on TO 1882 and closed s points up at
z13. This story served as an excuse
tor bull operations last spring, but il
was later denied that such action was
contemplated. 1t was pointed out then
that because OF the expansion in the
company's shipping operations, which
called for considerable cash outlay.
and since the Inauguration Of the sio
cash dividend last February, the man
agement was disposed to move slowly
SO far as stock dividends were con
cerned.

Coca Cola and Surar

Probably one Of the reasons for the
recent liquidation in Coca Cola shares
was revealed yesterday in the state
ment that no action was taken on the
dividend in September, when the dec
laratlon was due. This does not mean
that the quarterly dividend of 81 2
share was passed. Directors are schec-
uled to meet October 5, when the mat
ter OF dividends vii be taken up
Bankers connected with the company
SAID yeste rday that Coca Cola is earn
ing its dividend requirements. but thai
funds had been temporarily tied nm

1t is understood the company was com
PEELED to take larger consignment of

Cotton at 18-Cent Level

The advance of cent pound in
cotton contracts on the local exchange
yesterday was not entirely unexpected,
in view of the sharp decline Of the
previous day. The bulk of the buying
was by shorts, the demand from this
source being persistent even at the
higher level. The improved sentiment,
which caused shorts to seek cover, was
laid to the strong tone Of Liverpool
cables. An interesting feature was
the entrance of New England spinners
in the market for the first time when
futures were selling near the 18-cent
level Monday. Many in the trade took
this action to INDICATE that mills were
figuring on 18-cent raw cotton
