XCW YOltK, Dec. 2t Tho stock market traJlnc today as Influenced as'tln to a trrcat extent by tho persistent buying ot Anglo-French Ss, which, utter seUluc at S4?i. advance J to abnvo S", a gain of about 5 points slnco jestcrday morntnB. Thh as considered slBnlllcant ot Homo Important develop ments In tho lr.tcrnatlonal situation, especially ns it was ncoompanled by similar strength in French city bond, which were all actlvo and strong. Tho Street was full ot rumors about pence negotiations and efforts to bring about a cessation of hostilities, and at tho n.uno timo llnanclul Inlcicsts generally seemed to ho engaged In a combined movement to stabilize tho tecurlty situation and to put prices on a higher lccl. Thcro wero a few recessions nt tho beginning of business, but It was not long before absorption on a largo scalo was In cvldrnco and, from a shoit period after tlio opening until lato In tho day, group nttcr group ot stocks were taken up and briskly advanced. Gains In many Issues ranged from 1 to more than 5 points, with tho demand Increasing from many quarters ns higher prlees wcro estab lished, and it long step was taken in the market situation to cause re newed confidence In tho securities outlook. Slight reactions were noted nt Intcrv.iN, but tho losses then nuido wcro quickly regained and new higher prices immediately lecorded. Tho course of tho market generally was Indicated by t'nltod States Steet common, which, after declining to SUi. roso to Sl'i. Developments connected with tho Mercantile Mailno Company, including tho rnlo of part of tho companys assets, wcro responded to with a vigorous upward mocment, tho preferred stock, after yielding to 7T'i. moving up to aboo SO, Tho highest importance in the bond market transactions today was attached to tho dealings In foreign Issues. Anglo-Stench Cs were traded In on n large scale, moving up from h'i, to nbovo S7. Ilallroad bonds showed a firmer tono generally, making fractional advances. Possible Price-Fixing of Leather and Wool It Is expected that the next legislation to come before Congifis after tho holidays will include price-fixing cm some commodities not now iegu lated by law. In tills group will undoubtedly bo leather and wool. Tho opinion at tho Capitol Is there has been prolltecrlng In the former. Tho l evolution In Russia hutt the leather companies, ns that country was n great soutco of tevenue. It is difficult to ascertain whether exporters have been paid In full for what they have already font. and. if o. whether in dollars or rubles. Dcbactein Values Shown in Chicago & Xorlhweslem Situation Tho Chicago and pCorthwcstcru situation presents a most striking picturo of tho dcbaclo in values and resultant disintegration of lalltoad credit. This stock has been most prolific In tho matter of subscription lights. In the last fourteen yeats theso have had a combined maximum valuo of $77, or an average per jcar of J3.30. I.ast Match stockholders subscribed a, par to $15,;;o,000 new stock, with tho rights quoted between lTa and l'J Xow the stock Is selling 1j points under the subscription price, or tho lowest, with one exception, In its history, and 1S5 points under tho high of 1902. It Is plain that this nvcnuu of llnancing is closed now that tho stock is on better than an S per cent basis. Weakness of International Mercantile Tho recent weakness ot International Mcicantllo prcfened enabled tho American International Corporation, according to well-founded re ports, to add considerably to Hs holdings of the stock, which at one tlmo last summer wero estimated between 140,000 and 130,000 shares. Tho $1,GOO,000 which accrued to tho .American International from tho recent $10 cash dividend on Its inarino stock, as part of the S2 per cent accu mulation. Is understood to havo been iclnvested In tho issue 'and tho original cost of tho stock written down' to a figure which shows better than a 10 p'er cent Incomo return on tho basis of the legular G per cent dividend. x About 12li per cent, or $2,300,000, ot tho $20,000,0u0 Sinclair OUind Refining three-ear 7 per cent notes' offered to stockholders last sum mer, with the option to purchase shatft of stock at any tlmo on or be fore February 1, 1020, on tho basis ot twenty-live shares of stool: for each $1000 of tho notes at $43 per share prior to August, 191S; at $17.50 per share In tho succeeding year, and at $30"flor share thereafter, Is still In tho hands of tho underwriting sjndicate, which expired today. Theso notes aro now quoted at a 14-point discount from tho subscription price. Tho margin of earnings over tho $3 a shaic dividend on tho stock is no assurance of its continuation. Old Dominion Copper Output Normal Operations at tho properties of tho Old Dominion Copper Company are close to normal and havo virtually recovered from tho effects of tho strike that necessitated tho shut-down six months ago and permitted only moderate operations until close to the end ot tho September quar ter. Xet this year is expected to bo $2,223,000 before taxes, but the best guess is that taxes will not exceed $300,000. Another point of un certainty Is how tho present cost of producing tho metal will mea3uro up to a year ago as well ns tho prospects for 191S, with new price-fixing in tho making. Officials, however, are confident that tho ?t a sharo dividend can be paid, with a. good balance for surplus. S(eel Companies Practice Economg Steel companies aro practicing cconAny as never befoie. Sevaral havo Indefinitely postponed new construction plans, as tho cost of mati rials, scarcity of labor and tho largo sums required to meet Federal tax ntlon make It a dangerous proposition to divert largely t educed cosh bal ances Into projects which may not show a return on tho Investment for some time.

See Higher Bar Silver Prices liar silver is firm around tho lcel prevailing before the advance to $1.0SVi started. It Is tho belief. In trade circles that the icactlon In the motai has been far-fetched, Inasmuch as recent discussion by tho Gov ernment of fixing tho prico leaves little doubt that the price will bo nearer $1 an ounce than eighty-five cents in Xew York and clghty-slx: cents in San Francisco, as originally Intended. Exports to London in recent weeks havo been on a much "reduced scale. While hearty support will be given to the Government, now that It Is probable various drugs will bo commandeered as a war measure, there Is somo apprehension In tho trado as to future supplies. Tho reason there has been llttlo activity In the open market la because of the continued uncertainty as to just what drugs will bo seized by Federal'ofllclals and what restrictions will bo placed on others by tho war trado board. That tho Government will need a vast amount of medical supplies Is generally appreciated, and although prices continuo to hold relatively high, thero la somo tan; oi pnceiixmg going tno rountis. Canadian Tax Plan Interests t7, 5. Manufacturers Manufacturers inthls country with plants in Canada wcro deeply Interested In Premier Borden's outline of proposed taxation. Today the taxation on war profits in Canada Is higher than in nny other coun try In the world, so his announcement that the levy on business profits, which now takes a portion of net earnings abovo 7 per cent until three quartern of dll above 20 per cent Is absorbed by tho publlo treasury, will be re-enacted at the first session after tho Union Government meets, was all Important. Heretofore", many corporations were under the impression that tho tax oh wartime profits might not bo carried beyond 1917. Tho Prlmo Minister therefore, makes It quite plain that it will. However, capital in Canada will not bo taxed at any higher rato than is imposed by tho United States OoveVnment as the war progresses. , This will jivold antagonizing tho means necessary to the development of natural resources. . do prcf Am Car & Fdy. do pref Am Int Corp...
