N0N-SINKABLE

the utility of his non-sinkable safe

risk of his life was locked in his five

Three minutes after the gigantic
cylindrical tank touched the bottom,
while $4,000 spectators waited in
breathless expectancy, the inner COM

he issued forth smiling and waving
American and italian flags.
Early Saturday afternoon the tank

yearly strain due to dividend and in

confirms the reports as to the state
of things in the country as a whole.
Call money rates during the past
week have at times gone as high as
IL per cent, but there has been
nothing to indicate any extensive
conditions.
Railroad Rates and Loans.
The prospect is favorable for
reasonable Increases in freight
charges. It is believed that the in
crease to be allowed will amount to
at least rs per cent. and possibly
more. Shippers concede the neces-
sity of at LEASE this amount of adj
vance, but they have argued against
accepting the book value of the
roads as the basis of valuation upon
which the investment yield which is
to be protected or sustained by the
new rates, is TO be computed The
situation is less favorable, owing to
the disposition of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to be very
conservative in the allotment Of
loans under the new Transp ortation
Act. It will be some time before
the situation is fully shaken down"
to a permanent basis, and in the
meanwhile the equipment and rail-
way stocks will naturally have their
ups and downs according to devel-
opments. There is, however, no rea-
son to doubt that, as has been stated
in past issues of this circular, rail-
road shares are now at low figures
and apparently due for an advance
as soon as their problems have been
disposed of by the governmental
bodies which are now at work upon
them. During the past week rails
and equipments have in most cases
been relatively quiet, but have shown
reasonable strength.
Market Review and Outlook.
Pending the conclusion of the pol1t-
ical convention period the market
/ has naturally continued to show a
spirit of inactivity which has for a
large part Of the time made deal
+! ings in the market largely profess
sional. The opening of the past
week has, however, seen some re-
j vival of activity, due in part to the
relief from uncertainty regarding the
| political outcome and in part TO the
release of funds after the half-year's
| interest and. dividend dosbursem ents
| That the public are beginning tic
! take little more interest in the
market is shown by the increase in
! commission house orders The
market strength, however, is not due
/ so much to this as to the paucity OF
| offerings and the desire of shorts te
! cover. AS is well known, stocks
| thrown overheard on the seVera
| breaks Of this year were taken over
by strong interests, who still hold
| them on the belief that the trade
| outlook and the prospect for this
years crops warrant higher prices
| eventually for the shares of a mum
! Der of companies. That there is
some ground for this belief canno1
be denied; still, 1t is very doubtful
if the Upward movement p the pres
emit En4e will take on the dimensions
of a bull campaign for the reason
that vacation time is now ar hano
for a. great many big people and the
market cannot, of course, act. inde
pendently of them. This does no
preclude moderate pickup al
along the line, especially in stocks
which are pool controlled.
