I nn GOSSIP OF THE STREET PESSIMISM PERVADES OFFICES OF INVESTMENT BROKERS Belief Seems General That Low Prices Will Drop to Still Lower Level on Falling Market. Gossip of the Street THERE rvos n feeling of Intense pessimism p-evallng In tho brokerage nnd Invest ment houses yesterday, nml tintxvlthstnndlni; the loxv prices reached, tlie prevail ing sentiment was that still lower levels would ho reached during the coming week. There, does not seem to be even a rny of hope In the railroad situation, and those who believe that tho result of tho conference with the Interstate Commerce Commis sion tomorrow will be adverse to a raise In rates say that the only plnn left Is for the Government to lermlt tho railroads to ls.je bo.ids with the Oover.im nt's "O. K." on them In orde.- to meet their 'mmedlate requirements. Of course, f prices of gilt-edge securities ro inuci 1. wer the pibllc Is certain to come into the market for the barRnlns, and that, as o"e banker pointed out today, may not be an unmixed evil. As an Illustration, ho said that a customer who never boimht stocks was so tempted by the price of St. Paul Unllroad shares yesterday that ho could not resist and houslit quite a block. ".Vow." lie observed, "the man who held these shares Is likely some wealthy Investor who will invest the money ho Rets for his shores In Liberty Honds. so the Government Is to that extent benefited by tho market conditions." Strong Support Back of Market That there is a strong support back of tho market In spite of the bear raids and consequent low prices is generally believed. It Is pointed out that- although prices are demoralized they are never permitted to reach panicky conditions, nnd tho moment there is anythlnR nppronchlnR such conditions tlie strong support shows Itself, though there Is an absence of buying power on tlie part of the public. Bank Borrowings Decrease In some quarters the belief that the closing out of speculative nccounts was not, a factor in last week's market conditions does not And favor, nnd In support of the contention It wns said that the head of u well-known New York house that catered largely to tho speculative element was authority for the statement no later than Thursday last (when tlie subject was under discussion) that a year ago their bank borrowings wcro around $00,000,000, whereas today they are around $lfi,000,000. "Trading-With-Encmy" Act It was not believed on "the Street" yesterday that the proclamation of the president, putting the "trndlng-wlth-thc-enemy" act Into force would have any direct effect on present market conditions, unless tho seizure of shipping by tlie Government might nfToct marine shares to some extent. Tho chief objects which the act aims to accomplish are to apply the principles of international law Inter dicting trade In time of war and to conserve and utilize upon n basis of practical Justice any enemy property which may bo found within the Jurisdiction of tho United States. Kaiser's Threatened Indemnity Liberty Loan Argument "The statement of Ambassador Morgenthau. which he made on the best Her man authorltj that of the (lerm.m Ambassador to Turke that Emperor William end his war party had it in their plans to levy an Indemnity of $50,000,000,000 on the United Slates, should in Itself lie tho one big. strong argument why there should not be a moment's hesitation on tho part of the people of the I'nlted States to subscribe for the Liberty Loan twice over," said a well-known downtown banker. "When to AIr.itorgenthau's statement Is added the one made by Ambassa dor Gerard in bis T'our Years In Ciermany' that tho Kaiser told him that when this war is over ho intended to 'stand no more nonsense from the Americans,' one ihudders to think what might have happened if the British and French fleets had not stood between us, or If .loffro had failed at the Marne. "My Impression Is," ho continued, "that the condition of the stock market would have been tho least of our worries today, and that n Liberty Loan of even $30,000, 000,000 would have been subscribed in record time to buy the Huns off. "Why cannot all the people .-ce it In that light?" he asked. Magnates Study Labor Aspects The feeling that nt tlie longest peace Is not more than n year distant is In the air, and tho consequent readjustment which must follow is having greater Influence on tho market than any other event. Is the opinion of many brokers who are making more than a cursory study of the unusual market conditions with a view to unraveling the knotty problem. It is the uncertainty of the Industrial and labor conditions that this reconstruc tion period -.111 hi lug which is preventing the big business man from going Into or making pieparatlons for new enterprises. It Is argued that he reasons in this way : "Where is the use of putting money and brains into a proposition which is based largely on speculation as to the future niid which, if successful, will not profit me anything., as the future taxation of the Government will take all my profits, and if unsuccessful I must stand the loss." There may be business men In the I'nlted States who at present reason In this way, but if so they arc. not doing their teasonlng out loud, and It Is not the spirit of the American business man to shy nt taking a risk if there Is a lighting chance to win. War taxes are not permanent; at most they are not likely to exist beyond five years. ScoutRumor Affecting Sweden and Holland The rumor on the floor yesterday that Sweden and Holland had both espoused the cause of the Central Towers found few who would credit It, nnd apparently had little effect whatever on the market. Its very absurdity was its own contra diction, especially In regard to Holland, who would have nothing to gain from such an alliance and whose position is almost universally deplored. Brisk Movement For Liberty 3ys Itellly. Brock & Co., 308 Chestnut street, report activity in the 3V4 per cent first Issue of Liberty Bonds. They 'say that it Is evident from the orders which they have received to sell small lots from purchasers, so that they Can convert the pro ceeds Into the present -1 per cent issue, that many are taking the Government's advice to follow this plan rather than exchange bond for bond. They also report a good demand for all the 3liss (hey can secure.' War Brought Home to Canadians The manager of 'Morris Brothers, bankers, in the Morris Building, Chestnut near Fifteenth street, has Just returned from a trip which took him to Cleve land, Erie, Buffalo and Toronto, Canada. In the first three cities he said ho saw nothing but activity In the Libert Bond campaign. "In Cleveland, especially," he said, "there seems to be more Interest in the Liberty Loan than in Philadelphia,' and one sees more windows covered with placards nbout It than here." But when one gets to Toronto, the atmosphere, he said, Is decidedly warlike. The war has come home to the Canadians In a way that it will soon come to us, he remarked. Preparations are going on everywhere, and one can almost always tee from six to eight airplanes flying over the city. Their wounded have returned to convalesce and the lists of their dead have been published, lie continued, and these things make .the war a terrible reality to them. Drastic Action Feared if Prices Continue to Fall The persistent demand for some radical nction by some authority to put an end to the downward sweep of prices on tho New York Stock Exchange If kept up may eventually crystallze Into dcflnlto nction. All sorts of wild proposals from the proclamation of a moratorlum.to the closing of the exchange are heard in the babel of suggestions. The widely published cam palgn of tho well-known New York lawyer Samuel Untermyer was expected to re sult in some drastic action from Washington, but it is said that to have had the proper effect Mr. Untermyer should have started his campaign several weeks ago. It is now generally acknowledged that short selling has little to do with the drop in the prices of stocks, since bonds have suffered as well, till now many of them are nt lower levels than have been .cached in the last twenty years, and the constant liquidation has been generally ascribed to wealthy men seeking to. escape the heavy taxation by reinvesting In Liberty Bonds and tax-free municipals. There is good reason for this belief In the fact that there is a big demand com ing by mall and In phone orders to the Investment houses for municipal, and be V4 Per cent Liberty Bonds. Most of these Investment houses say that If all their .alesmen were not engaged on the present Liberty Loan they " with orders for tax-free municipals, and they predict nn unusual demand for that class of securities as soon as the Liberty Loan campaign Is over. Five Hundred Ships Commandeered by U. S. Under the prpvlslons of the "trading with the enemy act" the Govenimenl .yes terday took over about 600 vessels, but the ships will continue In the same traffic Under the same arransements as formerly till orders to ''e contrary are , received. Mr. Colby, In active charge of the commandeering of the ships, said In this con- neCl'We are turning the ships back to tho owners to operate 7 n eee2 account, under the samo system as In England." he said.

Iwiradpwns. p lau ?et Laurel Mill Worn, Wide Variance in Coal Prices on New Basis Conllnned from Tne One companies and fcrty-four from Independ ents. In discussing the situation Mr. Kunkel said: On Independent conl we nro paying from seventy-five cents to ninety-five cents a ton moro than the railroad com iMinles ask. On most of our conl we pay nlnetv-llvo cents premium, as xvo use Mnrklo coal. This company gets the Foxcntx'-nvo cents chargo allowed as in dependent operators and txx'cnty cents additional as Jobbers. Our gross margin, betxvecn the cost of conl to ui nnd that charged tho con sumer, Is Jl.i'iO a ton on egg, stox-e nnd nut rl7.es and about $2.00 on pea. J testi fied recently before) tho eoal commission In Washington that my linndllng costs xvcio Jl.fiC a ton. On this basis I stand to lose nn nil hut pea coal nt the propor tion of largo Independent shipments. If tho sex-onty-flvo-ccnt premium al loivcd tho dealers Is cut off 1 could cut my prices forty-flvo cents a ton and still make a fair profit Thero Is no reanon for this seventy-tlvo cent chargo of tho independents, it Is exorbitant nnd xvlll keep the xxhole retail situation upset until It is remedied. Kunkel's prices are: Tgg coal. $8.50: stove. $8.75; nut, $8.75. and pen, $7.50, or no change from prices prevailing up to yesterday, Chnrles K. Scull, secretnry of the Phila delphia Conl Kxchange, announced every pound of coal In his yards xx-as Independent coal, 20 per cent of which xvas subject to the Jobber's fee of twenty cents In excess of the Hcvcnty-ilve-cent operator's nlloxx-nnce. Scull predicted a drop of fifty cents a ton on all sizes on the elimination nt tho Inde pendent price. Scull'H prices are: Kgg, $5.50; stove. $8.7.".; nut. $S.75, and pea, $7.83, or without change. S. I). Hall, president or the Ilruncr com pany, xvns another who claimed his prices xveie being held ut the high level through tho fiict that virtually his enthe supply xvns from Independent origin. Further than that.. Hall said ho xvas getting only SO pec cent of normal supplies, limner's prices aro: Kgg. $S 1 .1 ; stove, $S.i0; nut, $S.6S, and pea $7.f.O. The reduction of sixty cents a ton ordered by the Oovernuiotit last itHUith on pea coal, folloxvlng permission to rniso It ninety cents, has dtopped out of sight entirely In the computation of prices under tho nexv ar rangement issued to dealers later. Only ono local concern has maintained tho cut. That Is tho MoHon-Heinin Coal Company, in Ken sington, which dropped from $7.50 to $6.00. Doctor Garfield, In Washington, said: It Is our duty to administer the fuel situation to the bes,t Interests of tho xvholo country, and there Is no legal authority except tho President to fix coal prices. Agi cements between operators or dealers naturally xvlll not bo of X'alue. as It Is our duty to control distribution despite platiH of others to the contrary. Agreements made hy producers or dis tributors may bo entirely proper nnd legal, ptovldeil they nro approved Ilrst hy Iho local coinmillee on distribution, then by tho State fuel administrator nnd finally by myself. All other agreements nro xx-orthless. They xvlll not hold good. Doctor fi.ti field then entered a discus sion of the coal distribution situation throughout the country Jic nked that domestic consumers of coal xvhen unable to obtuln adequate quantities should com municate at once xvlth his olllce. giving the amount required and xvhero it Is xx'anted. The administrator continued: The trouble has been thai many con sumers anil communities have sent us only the most general information about their needs. This has necessitated addi tional correspondence to learn Just what they xx-ant. and where they need It most 1 xvould like the American people to look upon tho fuel Administration In the same light as a coal denier. If they tell us their wants xx-o xvlll meet them. Wo are In cntlto control of thft avallablo coal and nro determined to dlstrlbuto It In the most effectixe and equitable manner. Doctor rinrfleld said ho had heard noth ing of a threatened strike among coal min ers In Missouri, Kansas nnd Arkansas "If It's true, we'll havo to bond for them and talk It over," he said. ANTHRACITE MEN WILL AID COAL AUTHORITIES WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 Fuel Admin istrator Garfield moved this afternoon to further stimulate coal production In tho anthracite fields and to bring nbout more equitable distribution xvhen ho ccnferred xvlth the principal anthracite coal dealers and operators xvho control most of the na tion's supply of anthracite. They pledged loyal support of tho Administration in its scheme to bring about greater co-cpcratlon in efforts now being in ulo to remedy the seri ous coal crisis that exists In some sections of the country. At the suggestion of Doctor tiarCeld. the coal men xvlll designate a committee of three from among dealers xvho xvlll assumo the task of collecting data which xvlll be put. at the disposal of tho fuel administration. This committee, It is proposed shall maintain permanent rela tions xvlth tho fuel administration and assist tho Government In problems as they arise In the anthracite regions. ArrangementH xvero completed by Doctor Garfield to supply coal through State ad ministrators In States where they havo been nppolnted. and through public ofllcials In other States. "I'nder tho present arrangement, on re ceipt from proper ofllcials of a statement naming tho public Institution requiring coal or thu dealers supplying cwtl to domestic consumers in need, the amounts being speci fied, and also tho places at which deliveries are to be made, coal xvlll bo ordered shipped mmedlatoly," Doctor Garfield said. "These statements ato to be filed with State fuel administrators, or. xvhen they have not been appointed, xvith the Federal fuel ad ministrator at Washington In every case coal will tie furnished at Goxcrnment prices." if you gotyo MMfiniiM Mil VxvVv y lxT8 JL. fHvZ IS rat all News Stands BUY IT TODAY Read about the terrifying Flaming Wheel of Death to Get the Hun Jwvcriibcri issue contains 160 pages ofUrentend- vuiy jtriri-Kivowny J.UUSUXHXU. avcici.es on. wizai.
