i dons which may result from tho entrance of the nation Into the field of actual
C "hostilities. There was a general discussion of the effects of tho proposed draft

For the time theso problems and tho manner In which they were construed
fcad an unsettling effect on values and caused liquidation of some largo npeculatlve
lines, whose holdors feared that the threatened taxes might causo a general sell
ing movement and carry prices down to a level which would wipe out even sub
' .untlal market profits.
It was virtually the timorous feeling which prevailed last Saturday, mades
- nronounccd, and with tho weakness In tho marftet Intensified by tho record-
. trWiilng advance In May wheat on the Chicago Board of Trade to '$2.07 a bushel.
The greater part of tho buying on which wheat has been advanced to that placa
In the clouds was attributed to war speculation, although much was Bald on the
Street about the showing that will be made In tho Government crop report,
-blch will be published on Saturday.
United States Steel common was traded In in large blocks, dropping from
115 to below 113, and nearly all the minor steel industrials followed It on tho
downward movement, with many of these Issues falling from 2 to more than 3
S nolnts. The copper stocks suffered about tho same amount of loss, but Utah
J Copper was exceptionally strong, moving up i to 113. Tho Marino Issues
' -ere strong in tho middle of tho day, when they made substantial gains on
' reports that the British Government had released the company's cash holdings,
hut this report was later denied and tho gains referred to were quickly lost.
" There was continued heavy buying In the foreign Government Issues In the
... market, with the French Government two-year notes tho most nrnminont
