GOSSIP OF THE STREET
STOCKS, IN FACE
SHOW GREAT
Bond Business Continues Quiet Prospects
for Success of New Liberty Loan Are Very
Bright Gossip of the Street
THE present stock market Is sai i
. market In tills country. Such bci.
to bo proud It.
Wall street showed tho way yesterday morning by opening tho
trading with n "cheer" of tho most pronounced optimism that has been
heard since tho war began. Its effect was electric. It swept tho coun
try from ono end to tho other. lirokors scouted tho Idea of tho need
of banking support. Tho market rcllectcd their sentiments. Trices that
In tho first two or' threo minutes had Indicated weakness rallied almost
Instantly and In n fow minutes had reached tho records of Saturday.
With this sudden rally camo almost simultaneously tho news of a rally
by tho British forces, driving tho Germans back. Tho excltemont In tho
brokers offices was catchtn'g. No ono could rco anything but good iiowh
Ahead, with still better coming. Whllo it was not believed that Germany
had as yet completely "shot her bolt-' It was believed that any further
assaults on her part would bo met with even greater resistance.
Ono well-known broker tald ho had been looking for news of the em
ployment of tho big mobllo reservo which can bo moved to any point
along tho Allies front at tho discretion of tho supremo war council
at Versailles, but ho had not seen nny mention of It. Evidently, ho
remarked, tho British lino was conlldcnt it could hold, othcrwlso It
would havo called for this most valuablo assistance. Another raid
that tho French-American reserve, which wus reported In nctlon. may
havo been n part of tho mobllo reserve, but whether it was called for or
not, ho remarked that It was posslblo tho fact would not bo advertised.
"I can't got any ono Interested In anything but tho war," said a well
known Investment banker yesterday. "Xo one." ho complained, "will talk
on nny other subject."
Another said ho did not antlclpato any radical change In stock prices
even if some ndverso news should arrive. Tho market, ho said, had stood
firm against tho Itusslan conditions and no news seems to have moro than
a temporary effect at best. A depression is nuro to bo followed by iv
quick rally.
"A market," &aid a prominent banker, "which has kept strong In tho
faco of such a succession of events of prlmo linportanco as have occurred
during tho lust few months will bo dlfllcult to break." lie then referred,
among other ndverso conditions, to tho tightness of money, tho draining
of tho usual financial channels by tho Liberty Loan and tho sales of
certificates of Indebtedness, tho defection ot'Itussia, tho enactment of such
bills as tho railroad control bill and tho succession of Investigations by
congressional committees, whoso revelations wero sufllclcnt to unbalanco
ordinary market conditions.
Bond Business Very Quiet
Nothing of special lmportanco is going on In the bond maikot. in
vestment houses which devoto their tlmo to bonds exclusively say thcro
Is littlo business being done and they don't- expect much activity until
tho tldrd Liberty Loan is out of tho way.
Tho principal partner of ono of theso concerns ruld yesterday that,
llko most similar houses, his was doing u nlco business, but not a very
ttcttvo one. Ho said ho had lecelved several orders recently for
certain bonds at last quoted prices, which ho could not fill. Tho holders
of theso securities prefer to hold on and nono nro coming out except what
come occasionally from tho settlement of an estate, ir from somo ono
Urgently in need of money. The bond market, ho said, has not acted
In rcsponso to war news ns the stock market has.
"Another thing," ho remarked, "thcro is nono of that selling of
bonds which had been held abroad such as wo experienced during tho
progress of tho first and second Liberty Loan campaigns.
"In fact, I was In J. I'. Morgan's olllco last week," ho remarked, "and
was told that thero will be no more offerings of.that nature. They havo
all been disposed of long ago."
Several of tho very largo houses say they uro doing nn unusual
business In high-class long-term bonds and high-yield notes, but this is
not generally tho caso with the Miialler houes..
Trading in bonds last week on n New York Stock Hxchange amounted
to $26,811,500, an average rato of $l,46S,r,00 a day for tho sK days. This
Is a great improvement over tliu last few weeks and marks the most
actlvo week slnco tho end of last December.
Liberty Loan Will Be Big Success
No matter what tho terms of tho third Liberty Loan it is going to
bo a success. But If tho launching of tho campaign for tho salo of theso
bonds had been set for yesterday morning Instead of for April 0 It would (
havo gono off with a "whoop." Never blnco Ameilca entered tho war
has It been brought so closely homo to tho American pcoplo ns within
tho last few days, and with tho climax of yesterday morning when after
almost three whole days of hopeful doubt tho news was flashed from
wire to bulletin board that tlio British wero driving tho Germans back,
enthusiasm waa rampant. Any ono can Im.iglno what would havo been
tho electric effect If tho thousands of Liberty Loan campaign orators all
over this country while pleading for heroic support of tho third Liberty
Loan had suddenly nnnounced that news to tho throngs who for almost
threo days had waited for It. It would havo been worth several billions
of dollars for tho loan.
But there will bo other days. and other equally auspicious occasions,
and yet it Is doubtful if for tomo tlmo thero will bo ono better.
Tho general Impression on tho .Street and In financial circles every
where is that it matters littlo In tho present temper of tho American
people what tho Interest rato is, or, In fact, what any of tho terms of
tho third Liberty Loan may bo. Only ono thing Is likely to affect it, and
that would bo a depressed condition of tho stock market, and even that
would affect it only temporarily.
Somo' financiers advocato action by tho Government to compel easy
money rates, In other words, to fix tho prico of money Just as it fixes
tho prices for wheat and other commodities, but such an nrrangement
would not find many supporters among financial men in Philadelphia
at present.
Railroad Order Explained by McAdoo
In explanation of Saturday's orders to lalli'ouds, Director General
McAdoo statC3 that in absenco of rcasonablo showing to tho contrary
he will proceed upon tho theory that cash assets In tho hands of railroads
December 21, 1017, wero held for railroad purposes. If any such iissets nro
transferred from control of ofllccrs of tho company full accounting pio
tectlon of companies lights will bo provided.
Tho director general will entertain applications to- show that any
portion of cash on hand December 31 was not for railroad purposes and
hould not bo under tho director gcr'.ral's control.
Carriers must not mako disbursements out of cash except for pay
ment of Interest maturing up to July 1. 1018; dividends at regular
rata observed In the threo years ended Juno SO, 1917, accruing up to and
Including July 1, 101S; payments for materials and supp.lcs, taxes and
permanent Improvements. Tho applications will bo entertained for
authority to pay money for other purposes.
Tho fact that both King Gcorgo and President Wilson had -sent con
gratulatory telegrams to Field Marshal Halg was very favorably com
mented upon In brokers offlccs and on tho Street yesterday, tho gen
erally expressed opinion being that they would not do ho If tho "Job
was only hait or three-quarters finished, ns so many things could happen
' to mako Buch congratulations look ridiculous unless they wero certain
I that Field Marshal Halg was suro of his position. Thcro was also a.
I rumor In circulation that tho British had captured 100,000 German prls
' oners. This report came through Buffalo and was said to havo had Its
' origin In Canada. Tho reception given to this report was moro favor
able than otherwise.

Tho new Winter Onrdcn show Is a
peach and a pippin nnd Is full of tho
camo or both. Or, to vary tho figure
of speech, It Is a garden of girls blos
soming In tho sunlight of humor and
pong. Tho chorus is ono of the Ingest
n en hero In teasons, but it lias more
than mere tiumcrouMicss to command It.
It Is good looking and always In good
form. It Is well drilled In Its stoppings
and evolutions and can vocallzo more
than passably. And Its costumes car
nival tlmo on the Huo de In. l'alx shrinks
lu fjilendors of contrast.
"Doing Our Hll" happent not to be
a "revue." Nothing Is revicweil anil
I so nothing Is unintelligible to those who
have not t-ecti the majotlty of current
theatrical suecissis. It's a show that
' any one cm understand and enjoy. A
I big typical Opera lloiiso audience np
I plninl'oil It throughout the llftecii scenes

for every laste fancy, eccentric anil
national dancing ;
... .,.,..
vocal solos anil choral
tiKoinhles : elaborate and attractive
specialties ; monologues ; comedy, Hee
tacle and what-not.

comedian, but not of the chestnut
species. Ills material Is original and
his methods Individual nml artistic,
.ludels and MIsh I.ewln have not enough
to do, considering their humorous e-a-parltles
and their reputations This Is
tho only adverse criticism that can be
urged.
Tho Canslnos received ovations for
each of their apiearanies Their mailtlo
dance was Instinct with Spanish grace.
Their i.irller ihiiue wes agile, grae-cful
and fascinating, the toe dancing of
I'Mouardo Cansino le-lni; almost uulepio
for a mal'i danger and exceptionally ex
pertly done. Splendid team work char
acterized the daialtig nt JriiK-s ijlem

"l'gypti.in Hag." which wus istnged
Illusively and elfcetlvely. The Duncan
