Gossip of the Street : rpi!I2ilH were no ndvanco copies of President Wilson's address lo Con r gross lo bo found In financial circlet In Philadelphia yesterday, and bankers and brokers hud only rend scraps of It vvlien the market closed, i The effect on limitations produced by the pcech was a blindlnc off In prices of tho principal Issues, moro especially In -81061 and mils, but the jjoneral opinion, wuh In fnvor of greater strength when the market opens today. Dankers and brokers Avcro Inclined tn withhold comment at any length on tho address until they had read it In full and graspad Its full Import. Ono banker said It means a long war, another summed It up tn tho two words, 'Tight on I" Tho principal of a well-known Investment houso said tho bid for Bui- 'Rnrla, Turkey anil' even Austria-Hungary to throw olT tho Herman njlll- tary ypka-nnd demand n separate pcaco with tho full assurance that they, wouln recelo both Just and liberal treatment from tho Allies was n, magnificent plcco of modern "open air" diplomacy. The only trouhlo , about It Is, ho said, that tho people In these countries who should read tho President's splendid appeal will never read It as ho has put It. If over they Rhould read Hi ho remarked, It will llrst havo passed through, tho mill of tho German censor. , Another banker considered tho threat of commercial ostrnclsm for ' Cermaijy after tho war. by tho league of nations which will be formed to prcseno tho world's pcaco and which, be remarked, has utilities- tlonably been 'discussed by tho Allied Governments as the ono argument which will strike tho German pcoplo In their most bcnsltlve part. If they ever read "that under u Hohcnzollcrn dynasty they will bo shut nut from tho commerco of the nations, bo said, they will find tho remedy before wo can apply It. Taking It ull tn all tho messago was received favorably by financiers. . ,- Railroad Settlement Must Await Peace Tho war Is accountable for ho many new angles In tho railroad fclttia tton that It Is tho almost universal opinion among bankers rhat no real .settlement which would glvo any assurance to- Investors need be ex pected until Rfter tho war. One banker, who was feeling very boorish on tho general Mtiiatlon tstcrday, sulil bo did not look for any relief from tho Interstate Commote o Commltfeion and tWt ho expected the" rate caso would iltag on for a long time. Another banker said tho question of Government ownership, llrst of tho big standaid trunk lines, and subsequently of the smaller sy&tcm. "is 'only n matter of time. Pooplo will find when this war Is over, bo contended, that wo will bo living in a very different world, und that tho Government ownership of railroads will bo Insisted upon. When nsked how such an enormous llnanclal adjustment could be accomplished, especially after tho country had loaned such stupendous sums to tho Government as has been done already and which represent only, per haps, tho beginning of what may bo called for, ho said that the proper plan would bo to allow tho present bonds tn mature, and be paid off by the Government at their maturities, and to havo an adjustment of tho ' equities represented In tho btocks either to bo purchased outright or to bo exchanged for Government bccurltles of home inscription to' be determined upon, TUwo does not beem to bo any existing parallel of tho Government of any other nation taking over the ownership and operation of railroad! under tho conditions which prevail In tho I'nltcd States. In Australia most" of the roads u,ro Government-built roads, in Kuropean countries, especially' In Prance, Germany and Russia, railroads were plannM, (list, -to bo successful for military strategy, and, becondly, successful com mercially. If the latter In any way interfered with the former it was neglec'.ed. Of courhc, thero were privately built roads In these countries before tho Governments took them over, but they were altered to meet tho strategic requirements. There Is, therefore, no precedent on which to base a calculation as to the best mothod by which a change from the piescnt ownership to Government ownership of our railroads could best be accomplished with . tho least friction. Some suggest that tho Government could obtain control as spine of the best remembered railroad magnates of a few years ago did, and whoso names arc still associated with the systems which they conti oiled, but ,.when tho tlmo comes no doubt a way will be found to bring It to a con cjuslon." ' ' .' Sees ar Tax as Effect on Bond Sales '' "We are doing a satisfactory business," remarked the manager of ono of tho largest bond and investment houses yesterday. "Customers aro hot coming in and asking us what we havo got for sale, nor are they telephoning that they havo $1000 or $10,000 to Invest, but our men are phasing up the business and getting It." Tho manager of, another well-known brokerago houso pointed to the boaid in his olllce, mound which was gathered a small crowd of "regulars," and remarked, "Not in bonds, but right on that board aro 'tho big bargains today." When abked why they don't buy them, he said, "It's this way. Our customers aro largely big manufacturers who aro making moro money 'than they ever did befoie. Several of them aro making $150,000 a year and upward. They live well, their establishments cost a good deal to keep up, and aro costing moro now on account of tho general high cost of everything, but btlll their profits aro great In many Instances, from $60,000 to $100,000 above their living expenses but along comes tho war tax and takes $40,000 from one and $00,000 from another, and tho remainder Is carefully put away for tho time when plants are to bo enlarged or bigger stocks of law material must be laid In, and ns every ono will be trying to do tluo same thing at tho same time, with a big demand for money, these men want to bo in u position to take care of their own financing with as llttlo assistance from their bankers as possible. Formerly that $40,000 or $00,000 which goes for taxation Is what .they would havo invested in bargains In the stock market, but they aro minimis todav and." he added, "I don't blame them." Why Many Wealthy Men Buy Insurance Within the' labt fow years a new industry, if it might be so i ailed, has sprung up In life Insurance, namely, the writing of Insurance policies on tho Jtvcs of very wealthy men. to cover tho very heavy taxos, both State aKd Federal, which aro collectable from estates in the form of inheritance ind other taxes. , Many multlmilllqnalrcs, wjio In tho pabt scouted tho idea of life Insurance as a benefit for their estates or families, havo recently adopted tho idea as tho best means of providing a sinking fund to liquidate tho tax burdens which will bo imposed on their estates In tho event of their T.CxatU itn- tho coining years of heavy taxation. It-,has been argued It tho plan is ugood one for tho multimillionaire ' Jt should bo as good In a smaller way for the man of moderate means. In any event it provides a, good plan to liquidate taxation in tho settle ment of estates, both largo nnd small? ' ( Foreign Trade Shows Big Increase Tho war preparations and financing havo made most of ns oblivious to regular commercial transactions. It will bo a matter of surprise to many to realize tho magnitude of our foreign commerce. A statement - Just published by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Wash' lngton, says: American exports made n great gain In October, reaching a total value of $542,000,000. This Is an Increase of $80,000,000 moro than Sep tember. The exports for tho ten months ended with October of- this year amounted to $5,149,000,000. as agdlnst $4,443,000,000 for tho cor responding period last year. ..., October Imports are placed dt $,21,000,000, a falling off of $15,000,000 compared with September, Fpr the ten-month period ended with October tho imports Into the United States, were 'valued, at $2,504,000,000, as com pared with $2,010,000,000 for the first ten montliB of 191G. Seventy-six por ', cent of tho October imports entered freest duty. Points,Out1l(jle Effect of War Taxes - ' A broker In tho downtownaistrict when-apeaklng of. tho stamp tax yesterduy said that In a dull market when" profits were small on largo raijBactlonslthe difference .between.,. a... tax rato of $4, Instead of $2, ag ""formerly, was qulto a consideration. Take for-rnstance,. ho said, a trader dealing Jn 1G000 sharos of stock info day for'njs d Wn fuccpu'nt; puppqslng the 10,001 shares wfcrpntted States Steel, and that ho had made only a profit of one-half of 1 per cent, which would be $500. Op'that heVould-havo to paV$400 In taxos, leaving him a net profit of only $100. Thut Is, in' a transaction Involving moi'o .than $500,000 tho rottt would bo a little more than one one-hundredth of 1 per cent hot' enough o rjsfyfyi'.dull. market. t r Tho Important'thlhg tojfcme'mbor In the above transaction, however, Is that the broker was buyrn'g on'lils o'wrt account. A promfpent member of a New York banking house' Is quoted as Baylriff'iha't tf fliere had bten nS"flxln ofcor!per r,rlceBthe'naturalilaw of supply andlde'mariu would have canUrJ'the price to forty Vents today, Instead of. tho twenty-Seven cents a( which Uho prlco was fixed.
