ACTION OF NEW YORK MARKET r
DISAPPOINTING TO BANKERS
Early Weakness in Canadian Pacific and Marine
Issues Brings Declines Improvement Comes
for Some Stocks Before Midday
MV VOIWC, Nov, 13.
Tlie action of the stock market in the early trading; today was u distinct
disappointment to both tho Important ImnltlnR Interests and to tho professional
Kpccnlatlvo element on the floor of the ochanBe. It hud been expected that
uftcr yesterday's orderly trading and that with the satisfactory tono of the
morning's news storks would show moderate strength it least, but the devel
opment of weakness In Canadian Pacific and tho Marino Issues unsettled the
entire market for a time after the opening, when severe losses wero sustained
In many issues.
Stories were circulated that tho dividend plant for Mai tin prefened had
been abandoned and that stock sold down 3, to 93, with the common falling
2 points to 21. Later these reports wcro denied and both stocks made moderate
rallies. Canadian Pacific was supplied In largo blocks, falling 31, to 130i. with
u rally to 132;.
Tho steel stocks wcro heavy for a time, both United States Steel common
and Uethlehcm Steel "IT falling more than 1 point. St. Paul attracted atten
Hon because of Its lack of support, opening down 1 point to a, n new low rec
ord slneo It has been on tho dividend-paying list.
New Haven, on tho other hand, was strong, advancing 1U to 26. Acute, '
interest continued to bo shown In the trading in Liberty Konds. During tho
forenoon tbcro was a largo volume of business In the 4s, which wero traded In
at 39.94 to the new low record of 99.82. The 3h sold nt 99.30 to 93,2(i.
Heading was exceptionally strong all through the forenoon, advancing from
G7'4 to 69U. Tho incrcaso of tho dividend on American Linseed preferred to
7 per cent per annum was without direct Influence on the market for that
stock.
Good Buying of Mercantile Marine Common
It can be said authoritatively that tho character of the teuent lm.Wng of In
ternational Mercantile Marine common stock has been very' good. Insiders have
. been advising their friends to buy it in preference to tho preferred, on the
theory that tho speoiilatho profit will bo much greater on the consummation of
tho plan for liquidation of the dividend arreatago on the preferred stock.
Tho common, they feel, will reflect in greater degreo tho tremendouf
assets of tho company and Its earning potentialities after the wnr. The pre
ferred, on tho other hand, would seem to bo in n fair way of letting out those
vho bought It on tho rise a year ago and liavo Hinco been nursing a largo loss.
It is figured tho value uf back dividends, to be declared in cash, notes and
common stock, tho latter to tho extent of SO per cent of the accumulation,
will amount to about $6.. in cash. If the old stock, minus tho accumulation,
Is worth ?(!j a share and It ought to be as a C per cent stock then the back
puj incut would give It a maximum market value of about J130.
To say that the Federal Reserve- Hoard's ruling ng.ilnst th iPdlvcountiug
tj tho reservo banks of short-term renewable corporation paper shocked
certain portion of the banking element is to put it mildly. They had figured
hero was ;i new way of raising money that would catty companies oer a
pctlod of high cost of capital with the least cost to them.
To Aid War Material Producing Finns
T'ut tho Government apparently Is determined to finance the requirements
of those companies whose production is essential to tho war and let the, others
take caro of themselves; In other words, by this method eliminating the htipei'
Ilous consumption of matorlals and labor. While some immediate good might
liavo been accomplished by a favorable ruling it would in the end have meant
dislocation of tho resources of the Federal Iteservo banks and militated against
the soundness of the new banking system, which must be prevented at all
costs.
The rediscountlng function of the banks was Intended prltnailly to cover
paper issued for commercial purposes, and to apply It to renewable paper would
mean tho tying up of credit in permanent investment that should be free at
all times to bo used In normal business procedure.
Tho stock market outlook Is considered Improved by many good Judge" of
tho situation. Tho hysterical fright of tho Investors seemingly has subsided;
foreign liquidation lias been finished; tho railroads will receive higher freight
rates and tho relations between business and Government are cordial.
Railroad presidents who have been nt Washington on the rato case feel
their pleas will bo fruitful and some have been advising the purchase of tho
better grade of shares of tin- carriers, which in many Instances nre at the
lowest levels In their history.
Moneg Outlook Not Considered Unfavorable
The money outlook, while not conducive to a broad .speculation, cannot
at -least be termed unfavorable. Surface Indications aro that the maImu:n
preparations incident to tho 18 per cent installment due this week on the
account of Liberty Loan subscriptions liavo been made and that the moiir
market will be in no way affected by it.
Of Interest to holders of Pennsylvania Kallroad shaies, some of whom
perhaps have been concerned over tho discussion of Government ownership,
is the fact that tho $120,000,000 stock Issued between 1900 and 1904 was sub
scribed for by shareholders at 115 to 120 per cent of par value and that all
subsequent issues, aggregating more than $200,000,000, bae been offered at
par. Tho Government would have to take this value Into account In the
event of national ownership.
Holders of automobile shares ate lewlng the outlook with less concetti.
It Is estimated by htcel Interests that curtailment of 2o to 40 per cent of the
pleasure car production would release 1,000,000 tons of steel and that this
would moro than meet tho needs of tho Government. In other words, they
feel that complete stoppage of manufacture Is unnecessary.
Railroad olllclals the country over aro pushing their energies mote vig
orously toward relieving tho car shortage beforo the real winter sets In. Itepte
sentntlvcs of roads operating east of Chicago and St. Louis have a serious
matter to solve, although during tho last week a free movement has been
reported by reason of better weather condition.
Considerable apprehension is felt, nevertheless, regarding the handling of
a steadily increasing volume of freight traffic without delay. Business in some
sections is showing a volume 10 per cent greater than a year ugo, with Gov
ernment business more or less responsible. The labor situation is giving
considerable concern throughout the Hast both on account of a scat city of
help and tho demand for higher wages from time to time.
Foreign Commerce Shows No Interesting Figures
Some interesting facts are disclosed In the August detailed liguies of fot
elgn commerce. Tho very value of war munitions exports compared with
tho previous year is a rather unexpected featute. I'tequently during the
last two years or more shipments of this class mado up from 50 to 75 p-v
cent of tho total exports, 'in August tho value represented less than 40 per
cent and it was $33,000,000 below tho Jauuaiy high itcord.
The total value of firearms and explosives leuvlng domestic potts duilng
tho month was $38,009,803, as against $77,333,515 In August, 1915. Kor eight
months, however, these articles represented a, money expenditure of $3G0,28C,839,
an increase of $83,972,047 over tho corresponding months a year ago.
Exports of firearms alono amounted to, in tho eight months, $73,6i;8,930.
as compared with $19,107,374 in 191C. while in August this character of ship,
menta showed a falling off of about $300,000 compared with the previous year.
On tho other hand, the decreaso in the shipments of explosives, which Includes
cartridges, dynamite, gunpowder, fuses and shells. Is moro strlUng.
