BUYING REPORTED FOR OLD

BOSTON. March 5.-The Commercial
Bulletin today says:
Business has been limited in the
wool market during the past week,
buyers apparently waiting for fnal
disposition of the tariff. Importers
who had considerable quantities of
wool en- route from the foreign mar
kets were greatly relieved at the
ending of the suspense. Prices are
somewhat erratc, but generally steady.
"Some buying Is reported in the
country OF old woods at about II cents
for the fine and fine medium Utahs,
and in the bright wool sections for
medium woods around % to % cents
and fine clips around 80 to 35 cents,
depending upon staple.
"The opening of mems wear staple

finding a fair response. Women's
wear has sold very well by the Amer

WANTS CUT IN STEEL

The ranks OF those in the financial
district who are of the opinion that
the Steel Corporation should reduce
its prices are being augmented daily.
One broker who has to date been
reticent on the subject, stated yester-
day that the "wisest course for steel
producers to follow Is to acknowledge
conditions and meet them by substan-
tial cuts in prices now, rather than to
be forced into this action later"
Another prominent dealer who has
thought for some weeks that such
action should be taken, now states:
Those whom Judge Gary says have
written him supporting high steel
prices ought to be trotted into the
light of publicity as curiositiea"

LINsEED STARTS AGAIN.

American Linseedi has again started
to climb. This is partly due to the
recurrence of the merger reports and
also to a new rumor that "melon"
is to be distributed.
No one can ever be found willing
to admit responsibility for the numer-
ous linseed rumors. but as the presi-
dent OF the company has finally ad-
mitted that there has been negotia-
tions with Lord Leverhulme-al-
though of an unofficial character

AGwI COMMON DIVIDEND.

The deferring of the Atlantic, Gulf
and West Indies preferred dividend
did not cause the sharp break in the
common stock that was expected In
some quarters. However, this is
probably due to the large short in
terest that had been built up.
Many brokers have now given up
hope OF this payment ever being made
on the preferred; the stock is non
cumulative. The payment would call
for only s16s,OOo. and IL the company
Ia compelled to defer such disbursc-
ment. the outlook for the common is
not promising.
1t would not be surprising to many
~ the common should some day glide
slowly past the pr.ierred. but as one
tape-reader said: "A list of stockhold-
ers would be interesting at this time"

AFFECT OF TAX PAYMENTS.

The approach of the day on which
income tax payments are due Is
fostering the belief that tighter
money market will be seen next week.
Not only are the payments alone
likely to cause a slight stringency,
but several companies, 1t is under
stood, will be obliged to issue new
securities to aid in meeting their In
stallments.
The drop Of 7k points in Standard
Oil of New Jersey recently on the
sale OF only 500 shares is interpreted
as rejecting such a necessity.
