H I ) 4N p GOSSIP OF THE STREEWEh " POSSIBILITY OF FURTHER . REVENUE LAWS IS BLAMED FOR SLUMP IN STOCK PRICES Sharp Break in Important Quotations as Yesterday's Market Closed Caused Surprise in Local Financial District Gossip of the Street ytTITH virtually nothlnc in the atmosphere hut news of a decidedly bullish character and with a wave of optimism pervadinp the financial district It wa a real surprise to see the stock market quotations show violent dei lines In many of the lcadlns Issues shortly before the clnsn yesterday. The declines were not confined to anv particular class, as almost the whole list was alTected. The industrial', led by Pteel; the railroads and the equipment all suffeied, hut perhaps American Sumatra Tobacco showed the most violent fluctuations, elnslnc at I3."v4 from a hich of 14S. As usual the reasons given were many and varied, but the only one which termed to carry weight w.Vs the possibility of early tax leclslation by ConprresH. With the Cioemment cnntrolltnp: all the steel, includlnc what may not be needed for war purposes, II was loncluded that the future divi dends on Steel 'would be materially cut bv any further taxation. The Government In taklnp all the steel virtually guaranteed uniform earn ings bleed on Coxernninnt prices, but additional taxation would mean a considerable lowering of these earnings, according to the opinions ex pressed bj bankers anil brokers. There was a hope that. President Wilson havlnc left the decision of whether or not, there should be tax legislation at this session of Con gress to Secretary McAdoo. he would decide against It. On this particular issue there was a strange diversity of opinion In the Street, somo con tending that Mr. McAdoo was not In favoi of such leclslation at the present session and Jut as many holding an opposite view. The whole matter was settled by a dispatch from Washington, which came Just at ihc rinsing of the market, stating that I,eader Kitchin. of the House, had announced that Secretaly McAdno had decided that it la imperative that Congress enact n new revenue bill at the present ses Einn. It this decision W not altered and It stands as It now Is. the gen eral opinion In financial circles is that there will be a wave of selling on the stoik exchange this morning and that prices will go much loner than at cs,teida's closing. Outside of this decision of Secietary McAdoo the news during the day hurl been exceedingly favorable to the slock market. The speech of Uoyd Ceorpe at Edinburgh. Scotland, where he said the British were building ships fnsier than the German submarines could sink them and that the Allied nawes were sinking the Geiman sub marines faster than tleimany could hm'". them, created a very favorable impression in the financial district. Although its influence on stock quota tions was negligible, the psychological effect was good. Mason's Speech Arouses Lively Discussion The speech delivered on Thursday by John H. Mason, president of the Commercial Trust Companv of this city, at the Trust Companies' Section of the Pennsylvania Hankers" Association, now in conference at Atlantic Cit. . was peihaps the most talked-of incident in the financial district esterda morning While many of those whose opinions ate usually looked upon as carrying the greatest weight were still down at Atlantic City. It was. noerthelcs. er;. evident that Mr. Mason had struck a svmputhetic chord as far a banking lntciests aie contented, and some expressed an opinion which was mine in the nature of a hope that his stiiring appeal to the trurt companies to follow him and his company "over the tup" into the Federal reserve front would show immediate lesults. In the brokers' ofllces and even among the floor customers there was warm approval of Mr. Mason's patriotic appeal to the trust com panies, and no one could be found to dispute his piophccy or the federal ization of the banking resouicev of the country. One banker suggested that Mr. M-Adoo should neate a special position for Mr. Mason, which would take him over the whole iniintry to Induce ti list companies to avoid conscription and enlist voluntarily in the Federal leserso system, if onlv fo. the peimd of the war, so that the nation's financial icsouices could be completely mobills-ed. Volume of Bond Business Below Normal So mm h of the time of the men connected with the bond and Invest ment houses is being given to the War Chest campaign that the volume of business beins transacted in bonds is below the average in some in stances. An element in the bond market situation which has created consid erable comment in financial circle is the pronounced strength In bond quotations About a ear ago financiers predicted that, as we were now In a period of inflation and as large amounts df money are being expended EeneraMv bv the Government and in other ways throughout the country, the outlook in the business was decidedly more favorable than at any time since the beginning of the Kuropean war. Bankets report that many wealthy persons have been disposing of a ceitain class of bonds for more than a sear past and reinvesting their funds in t.i-free issues, with the result that the man of more modest means has been able to pick up actual bargains. Those best posled on the bond situation say the distribution of hlgh firade bonds is better today than at any previous ptjrloii. Formerly Indi viduals held large blocks, now these have been split up into small amounts rtnd scatteied all over the country. ; Favorable lomment was heardin short-term note circles over the ruick sale of IL'.OOii.OWJ Timken Detroit Axle Company 7 per cent notes by the National City Company, at prices yielding from 7 to " per cent. This issue was placed by the bankers In comparatively small individual amounts within ten' minutes from the time the subscription books were opened, and, according to an otticial of the hanking firm mentioned, it would have been possible to have sold twice that total in the same length of time. Students of the financial situation are convinced there Is plenty of money available for investment, hut those with funds In hand are de rarous of obtaining a bargain, and bankers have been quick to icallze the importance of making all fresh offerings as attractive as Is consistent. There has been a particularly good demand for short-term notes from the West .mil Southwest. 1'rlces continued firm with un upward ten dency throughout the day's session.
