I. j., Seventh street-Please let me
know II you consider New York Air
Brake 6's perfectly safe. The ma
turity comedies with my plans and
il they are All" 1 should like
to invest.
Answer-You ask IL we consider
New York Air Brake SIS a perfectly
safe" investment.
You state that the maturity date
comedies with your plans.
Perfectly safe" Is too strong an
Endorsement to place on these bonds,
in our opinion.
We do believe, however, that they
are an attractive investment, despite
the fact that on August II the COM
pany's directors declared a scrip divi-
dend instead Of cash and this was
unexpected.
The writer, personally, would have
no hesitsncy In investing in one of
these bonds, but he would watch the
market very. closely. as it is a bond
that needs watching more than some
other issues.

Constructive Factors.

Constructive factors in the general
situation are ignored in these dull.
declining days. The public, so far as
that absentee from speculation can
be judged, appears to have sustained
a mental shock from the unfavorable
reports.
Many Of the long-term Dull" fac.
tors have not yet been given any con.
sideration. The public mind, as Wall
Street reads It, can see only the
breaks forced into speciality issues and
an appearance of general weakness.
To some in the Street those breaks
indicate the tail-end of the long de.
cline. But the market is not dis
counting anything.
Reports are coming into the finAn-
cial district of better condition in
business. One of the prominent can.
ners of fruit Is authority for the slate.
ment that wholesale and retail grocers
have placed large ORDERS for goods
for delivery during the next few
weeks.
When 1t Is recalled that for the last
eight months this business has been
going on in a "hand-to.mouth" basis.
that the business was anticipating no
demand beyond few weeks, the
feeling in the trade now that current
enough to warrant carrying large
stocks Of goods, is considered note.
worthy.
This same condition has arisen in
other lines, and the Interpretation put
upon II is that the market cannot long
ignore 1t.

U. S. REFUSES TO CONFIRM
EARLY GERMAN TREATY

Optimism expressed in Berlin that a
treaty between the United States and
Germany will be signed within a few
days was not substantiated by the at
titude Of the State Department here
today.
Officials would only state that they
hoped treaty would be concluded as
soon as possible.
The State Department would not
say whether Ellis Dressed, American
commissioner in Berlin, has authority
to sign the projected treaty, but did
announce that no American delegation
would be necessary to conclude the
pact.

What Difference Does 1t Maker

Borrowings from the Federal re-
serve are now at their lowest ebb.
Most private institutions are taking
care Of their own loans and are not
rediscounting.
Opinion Is that for these reasons
the rediscount rates will shortly be
reduced. But the question arises,
What effect on the stock market
have money rates?
Rail Relief Chances.
The hope that the railroad relief
bill would be passed before Congress
went on holiday has given some com
a foundation upon which
to build theories of a recovery on
stocks within the next few DAYS.
Certain cheerful souls have even
set the date, which comedies some.
what with the date upon which Con-
gress is scheduled In speculative cir
cles to function with regard to the
rail legislation.
The dull days have not changed
however, the outlook for those who
feel certain that the low point in the
general list cannot be reached much
before September.

When Mae Murray flashed upon
the screen in that rd-smash-
ing box Office success, ION With
the Dance" brilliant and glorious
career was foreseen for her. This
prediction was realized when she
took the leading role in THE Right
to Love-" and now she appears
again in a tremendously interesting
and human story, THE Gilded
Lily" which opened at the Spencer
Square for weeks run yesterday.
The scenes are laid in the city,
as were those in "On With the
Dance" The gay night life 10 re-
flected from even a more intimate
angle than it was in that phenome-
nal triumph. In this production
Miss Murray enacts the role Of a
salamander, a beautiful woman
who gets all from her train Of ad-
mirers and gives nothing-surfeit-
ed and sickened by the hollow
mockery of the pursuit Of pleasure
instead of happiness; who keeps
herself clean and pure against
heavy odds, and whose heart is
hungry for love and for q quiet
home far from the garish night
lights.
How she Is wooed BY one Of the
denixens Of the Great White Way
and by Q country boy whose eyes
are dazzied by his first,view Of tho
night life Of a great ctty-how she
finds which OF these men has char
acter and q heart, and how she
finally finds the happiness she had
hungered for, but in q most a
toundingly surprising way, give to
Miss Murray the biggest opportun-
ity for dramatic acting that she has
ever had.
And she makes The most Of this
opportunity, rising to splendid
heights Of dramatic realism In
