WEEKS REVIEW AND IMMEDIATE OUTLOOK
Henry CleWs, New York Financial
 Expert, Gives His Opinions
Especial to The Herald.)

New York, July 23.-President Harding's leadership and his success
 in dealing with congress, as shown
 by the modification of the oil duties
 at his request and the apparent in
 tention to lay aside the tariff until
 the question of tax reform has been settled, are proving an extremely
 hopeful factor in the restoration of a better tone among business leaders.
 There is now full confidence that the
 excess profits tax will be repealed
 and some relief at least given in re-
 gard to surtaxes before the end of
 the session. The development of
 what appears to be definite plan
 for effecting a settlement between
 the government and the railways has
 helped railroad stocks during the
 past week and has encouraged out side buying. Improvement in orders
 for structural steel is partly due to
 better conditions in the ipterior of the country aud is partly a response
 to the cuts that have already been
 made in quotations. There is also an improved export demand for for eign credits indicates the Restoration
 of better conditions in connection
 with the financing of our export
 trade. Altogether the week has
 been a distinctly hopeful period,
 not so much as for what has taken
 place as for the brighter outlook on the future which is afforded.
 Trade Developments.
 There was an increase of about 31 per cent in structural steel buying during June. Revival of manufac- turing is noted in a number of the principal producing districts and employment conditions are decided ly better in many parts of the coun- try. There has been decided check to the downward movement of prices and an apparent approach to completion of the readjustment

BOARD IS
 SEEING STEAMERS
$25,000,O0O Worth Taken When
 No Rent Is Paid

New York, July 23-Agents of the
 U. S. Shipping Board waited today for
 the arrival of four big steamers
 chartered to the United States Steam
 ship Co.,, in order that they might add
 them to five seized in a series of har-
 Dor raids last night.
 The steamers seized last night were
 among the finest in the United States
 merchant marine and all were former
 German liners. They are the George
 Washington which President Wilson
 used on his trp to the Versailles peace conference; the America, Susquehen- naJ President Grant and Agamenon. Their aggreg gate value is said to be twenty five million dollars. The seizures resulted, according to
 Elmer Schlesinger, counsel for the Shipping Board from failure of the
 U. S. Main Steamship Co.,, to pay
 rentals aggregating about $400,00o' and because of certain other alleged laxity by the company in carrying out it's contract with the Board.
 Custodians were placed on board all the seized steamers and in the case of the George Washington, which is booked to sail for Europe with a large passenger list on July 30, the Shipping Board proposes to operate her itself, unless another company can be found in the meantime to operate her, MT. Schlesinger said.
 B. A. Quarles; assistant to the pres ident of the U. S. Mail Steamship Co. decided the seizures would be contest ed in the courts. He declared the Boards action came without warning and intimated a plot on the part of certain forces, foreign in nature" to } take the ships away from the com pany. The company, he said, had ignored reports concerning this threat because cit did not believe any gov ernment official could be influenced by statements being made against it.

process in a number of industries. Further reductions or suspenslons of dividends have of late been few, and while this is party due to the fact that meetings of directors at which financial action is to be taken are not so numerous as they had been during June, it is also evident that the changes which had given rise to dividend curtailment are approach ing their close. Prospects for the clearing up of the sugar situation and the financing connected with it are better than they had been, and it is probable that they will reach a definite conclusion within short time. The action of the Cuban gov ernment in making a direct appeal to Washington is believed likely to as- sist in the completion of arrange ments. There are some other phases of the business situation which may call for re-financing, but there is every reason to expect satisfactory adjustment within moderate period. ''
 Market Review and Outlook.
 The stock market has been ex- ceedingly quiet this week, which is not unusual at this period of the y pretty clearly that the thorough liquidation which has taken place has given it a very much better footing. To be sure, the demand from the outside public is still meagre, but on the other hand. of- ferings are equally light, and in order to bring out stock in any quantity would be buyers find it necessary to advance their bids. It will thus be seen that the trading element witk bearish proclivities which for a num- Der of weeks have had it largely their own way are no longer in a position to control the market This does not imply, however, that the search for weak spots will not be continued, as the outstanding bear account is still pretty we'll extended Notwithstanding that the general public are apparently still afraid to inquiries regarding securities are in- creasing, showing that more inter- est is being evinced This naturally suggests that when the present state of lethargy is ended buying orders will be more plentiful In the mean time, as pointed out heretofore the present market does not lack good trading opportunities with much of the ordinary risk eliminated Event ually we look for higher levels, as the trade outlook is undoubtedly i'm proving.
