G. & s. HELPED by Coal Strike

Will settlement Of the coal strike be
used as bear argument on those rail-
roads which haze profited by the cur
tailment of operations In the union
mines? - Only few in the market
community are concerning themselves
with this question, for only few
traders have been aware that the
strike should have been bull argu-
ment on some Of the coalers. "The
Railway Age" goes into this question,
taking the Colorado g. Southern as an
example "Thc Colorado & Southern"
it says. "has been assisted rather than
hurt by the coal strike, due to tho
manner in which the Colorado mines
are operating. This improvement, how
ever, was not in evidence until late in
May Coal loadings in March--before
the beginning of the strike--ran about
1,400 cars weekly. In April they aver
aged about $50 weekly. They increased
gradually in March, and figures for re-
cent weeks have approached 300. Coal
loadings at this time last year approx
mated 1000 weekly. The effect has
been reflected in total loadings. In
the week ended July / the total load
ings of all commodities were 2,088, as
compared with 1,602 for the same week
last year. Traffic received from con-
nections for the same week totaled
1,701 cars, as compared with 1885,"

Italian Loan Tn Again

Reports that the Italian government
was to float loan of large size in the
American market were revived in more
specific form yesterday when Rome
advised that arrangements were we'll
on toward completion for a $200,000,-
900 operation. Several American bank
ers have visited Italy during recent
months and upon their return have
indicated that they did not regard
such an operation as probable this
year, as Italys requirements for dol
lars are relatively slight since the
termination of the wheat and other
controls. 1t has been suggested in Of
fetal quarters that American financial
aid for Italy would more probably take
the form Of advances to. and the ac-
quisition of interest in, Italian indus
trial corporations with special refer
ence to electrifcation and port develop
ment.

Strikes and the Market

Expectations of continued forward
movement of prices based on the pros
poets OF settlement of the railroad and
coal strikes are expressed in the usual
crop of weekend comment on the stock
market position Stress is placed upon
the advantages accruing to the rail and
equipment stocks and only occasional
reference made to the possible retard-
ing influence Of these labor difficulties
on industrial recovery The point is
made by one house that the fur damen-
tai basis of current prosperity re-
mains intact, but it qualities this by
the statement that "interruption Of
progress was becoming important and
indications pointed to the closing down
of additional manufacturing plants re.
duced production and a check to the
great consumption of goods that has
been a powerful constructive factor
thus far this year."

The Break in Studebaker

Specifically, there seemed to be a
contradiction in the prevailing Wall
Street explanation of the selling of
Studebaker yesterday, but on analysis
the theory seemed logical, if true.
Studebaker closed at 1870, off as of a
point, on the eve of directors meet
ing tomorrow, at which it is rumored
that an extra dividend will be declared
in view of the extremely large earn
ings of the company. But the selling
was attributed to a belief that the
extra dividend will be smaller than an
ticipated, less than SIS share. In
the rise of Studebaker talk of an ex-
ira dividend was used as a pulmotor.
The test of its truth will come to-mor-
row. The stock recovered toward the
close from low for the day of 128ll4
In the automobile trade, the weakness
of Studebaker was ascribed to plans
of the Buick concern for heightened
and intensified competition.

Rail Shares
Again Strong
I'm Dull Trade
Buying Based on Anticipa-
! ton of Strike Settlements;
Industrials Checked by
Weakness in Specialties

Despite the apathy indicated by the
small volume OF transactions and the
slim attendance at the Stock Exchange
she momentum of the advance in Sc
curity prices was suffici ent to carry
many stocks from one to several points
higher in yesterdays short session
Railroad shares were uniformly strong
and the average price Of twenty stocks
OF this group climbed to new high
mark for the year. This rise was
effective in establishing the general
average for fifty stocks at the peak for
1922 to date, the industrial division be-
ing less buoyant as weakness continued
in several~of the specialties.
The basis of the upward movement
of prices was buying in anticipation of
the settlement OF the railroad and coal
strikes. Many financial leaders be-
lieve that these have already reached a
stage where possible further adverse
influence upon industry and trade may
looking forward to their final disposi-
tion next week. The benefit to the
railroad corporations accrues not
merely from the fact that they will be
enabled to resume operations on a
more normal scale, but from the effect
of settlement in what is counted as a
test case. Until now the carriers have
been confronted with the virtual
certainty that labor troubles lay ahead
and have had to take that into con-
sideration in making plans for the
future. With the sue -essful meeting
Of this issue, they will have freer
hand in dealing with the situation.
Trading in bonds was light in vol
ume. but the Strength of the market
position was seen in the irmness of
quotations and fair gains in some of
the corporation issues. Liberty bonds
were steady. go -.
The only important incident of the
day in the foreign exchange market
was a further decline in the mark to
the lowest level yet attained, at 1875
hundredths of a cent. The German
bank statement showed a rise during
the week in circulation of 1883, 100000
marks and, while this is less than in
some preceding weeks, it demonstrates
that the manufacture of paper money
gin Germany is still proceeding at a
dangerous rate. The principal Euro
pean currencies we're little Influenced
by the fall in marks excepting francs,
which sold off points at SIC cents.
Cotton experienced an extremely
dull session, as spectators hesitated to
increase commitments on the eve of
the governments crop report, due Tues
day. Closing prices ranged from 8
points lower to 5 points higher. Wheat
suffered from the absence pf. the heavy
export business that has become usual
of late and, lacking support from this
quarter, prices eased off q to 1 cent.

PITTSBURGH, July 29.--In addition
to the hiudrances put upon the steel
industry just when it was about to rise,
by the coal and the rail strikes, now
comes the dreaded priorities set up by
the Federal government to regulate
fuel supply. Steel men have ascer
tanned that the outline of the system
used during the war will be set up in
this situation, which means that the
steel industry comes fifth in order of
necessity. They feel rather despond
ent about it, az fifth place in this
emergency does not hold out much hope
to them. 1t is not only that the pri-
critics system affects the supply of coal
allocated to the steel industry, but that
it also very seriously affects the supply
of cars for delivery Of manufactured
steel products--thus the industry suf-
fers i'll two ways.
The prioritios ruling DEGREES that all
open-top railroad cars shall be sent
into the coal trade. Open top equip
ment is far more extensively used in
shipping steel products than box cars.
In fact most products, such as pipe,
rods, bars, structural, billets, blooms,
ingots, plates and rails, can be shipped
with convenience only in open Gals.
Thus the steel industry is yet more
finely ground between the millstones
and may be considered lucky if it is
not absolutely reduced to nothing be-
fore the struggles of the mining and
transportation industries are ended.
That is the feeling expressed by local
steel men.

Onerations Affected

Officials of the steel plants along the
Monogahela Valley are on their toes
to prevent the exodus of common
laborers to the mines and to other
cities where the men are offered more
wages.
During the past week employment
agencies had representatives visit
towns along the Monongahela River
and hired laborers by the hundreds to
go to coal mines and also to Michigan
and Ohio to work in automobile and
rubber factories. Hundreds of men re-
fuse to lIbor in the mills, as they can
get higher wages by working for other
concerns. AS a result of the scarcity
of labor a slow schedule is in operation
in the Home stead and Duquesne steel
works of the Carnegie Steel Company.
