GOSSIP OF THE STREET NEWS FAVORING STEEL PLANTS AND BROOKLYN TRANSIT GRANT HELPS CONFIDENCE IN MARKET i BUSINESS CAREER OF PETER FLINT A Story of Salesmanship by Harold Whitehead (Corvrtohtl Large Buying of Reading and Stotesbury's Resignation Cause Much Discussion Bankers Studying Utilities' Obligations Problem Gossip of the Street rpHUUE was nn air or dullness in the financial district yesterday. The news from Ktirope continued to be favorable to the Allies and there was some discussion ns to whether we were not approaching a decisive crisis, especially on the Auitro-Itallan front. Some brokers were ad tlsInB their customers to tako advantage of the occasional recessions In prices of the leading Issues to buy. There were a number of things happening which had more or less Influence on security prices, but mostly favorable. The same strength which has characterized the market for some time past was still present. Some of the news which had a favorable effect was Judge Clary's statement that the finishing mills of the United States Steel Corporation are working at more than 93 per cent of capacity, the granting of more than $17,000,006 to the Brooklyn Rapid Tianslt Company by the Wat- Finance Board, and the report that steel men will meet In Washington tomorrow to ask for Increased prices, with a trong possibility of having them granted. There was a good deal of curiosity expressed In the brokers' oftlces In connection with Reading stocks during yesterday's session. It was noted that "some one" in Xew York was buying, evidently for account, very heavily. The resignation of E.' T. Stotesbury from the presidency of the Reading Company came over the wires after the closing hour, otherwise there nould hae been considerable comment on, this some what unexpected action. Bankers Work on Utilities Problem A committee of bankers was working In New York yesterday with a view to llndlng a solution for the difficulties which confront a large number of public utility concerns with large nmounts of oblluattous rapidly reaching maturities, and whose securities aie not readily saleable In the present condition of the money market. The problem which these bankers have set out to oveicome Is the provision of the new War Finance Corporation law which prevents the corporation from making loans direct to public utility coiporatlons In need of funds unless. In the opinion of the directors of the War Finance Corporation, the circumstances which compel the applicant company to make application are exceptional. The plan which is considered most In favor by the committee of bankers Is the formation of a $100,000,000 corporation to bo formed to Indorse the notes of tlio several companies applying for assistance, thereby tendering these notes available for discount by the War Finance Corporation. A well-known banker remarked ycsterda that he believed the com mittee of bankers would work out a satisfactory, workable plan, but he himself could not see that the Government had been altogether JiiRt In Its treatment of the public utilities, many of which are Important secondary adjuncts of the war industries. "The Government." he said, "has given relief to the railroads by first taking over their operation and then granting most liberal Increases In freight and passenger rates, and lastly by providing a large fund to meet the Immediate financial needs of the , carriers. It has assumed the business of the express companies and Is tailing care of industrial establishments engaged In the manufacture of V war material through the war credits board, but the only assistance pro vided up to the present for these necessary utility concerns is the War Finance Corporation, which virtually finds its hands tied." There Is an Important point overlooked In this argument. It Is acknowledged on all sides that In the end, no matter what temporary expedients may be brought into play now, the only relief for the public utility concerns Is the permission to raise rates and that over this the Government has, no control, as It had with the railroads. This is a matter for the several State public 'service commissions. The Adminis tration has already expressed its views on the matter, with strong recom mendations for early action, but little since then has been accomplished. As one broker commenting on the subject said yesterday, "It Is almost time for Mr. McAdoo to write another letter to President Wilson, so thattthb President can answer it, and then we could all lean back In our chairs until somebody does something." Stock Market Reflects Optimism ikeforrlng to the effect of the war news on the stock market. The Annalist says In Its latest Issue: "The greatest battle In history's greatest war has been going on. Tflth brief Interruptions in the hcale of operations then launched, slnco March 21. Experts say that it is the pivotal crisis of the war; that the destruction of human life now Is so great that the Intensity of this effort cannot be equaled again. What does the stocli market of the Allies say of the outcome? Plainly, that Germany Is facing defeat; not immediate Collapse, but ultimate failure. That her loot-hungry soldiers will never get their hands on the treasures in Paris, though they may ruin some of the- Old World's finest architecture with their long-range guns; that her wonderful submarines can never break the line of communication be tweeji Havre or Liverpool and Xew York. The stock m.irket Is not Jubilant; it takes account of the losses which must fall alike upon victor and vanquished,, hut it is firm. It believes In Foch. In the strength and courage of the soldiers of the Old World and the Xew, lighting with a common understanding for ideals that must survive. It measures the diminishing purchasing power of the dollar by the drawing apart of bonds, the securities with u fixed return, from stocks with the possibilities of dividends increased to maintain the actual yield, as figured in buying power of dividends. If the stock market ever meant anything, It Is pointing today to the gradual extinction of Germany's military power and to the tremendous readjustments which must be staited before the wai ls over. There Is a good deal of comfort to bo derived from a study of the trend of security prices." . . ' Conditions among the bond houses weie quiet yesterday, with only few developments of a striking character, mid In the trade the belief was expressed that there would be no Immediate resumption of business on a broad scale. An issue of, $343,032,500 4'i per cent Treasury certificates of indebtedness, issued In anticipation of the thhd Liberty Loan, fell due yesterday and was paid. Arrangements are being made by the Baltlmotc and Ohio Rullroad to lssuo $20,000,000 II per cent bonds. Tills authorization, it Is understood, is for the purpose of placing the bonds back of a loan which it Is hoped to obtain from the Government. The company has $7,500,000 D per cent gold notes maturing in July, to meet which obligation funds must be provided from some source. A? It Is dlfllcult to sell bonds at the present time, It Is hoped that a Government loan may be negotiated somewhat' along the lines of similar loans made thus far to other corporations. Sees Need of Readjusted Utility Rates Speaking' in Chicago on Tuesday last. Paul Warburg, while dis claiming any Intention to speak for the War Finance Corporation, com menting on the plight of public utility corporations and their relations with the Government organization, said: "1 am Inclined to think the problem will work out Its own soiutlon If a readjustment of rates to meet the present condition of high operating w-osts could be brought about, which would assure, the solvency of utility corporations and place them In a position to obtain capital which they need. Mucli has already been done toward tilts leadjiistment. Many in creases have been granted and there Is icason to expect further progress In this direction. "The thought may have occurred to many that the War Finance Corporation has been created to cope with this very problem, but the organization, In a majority of cates, expects to deal only with concerns that are solvent and able to provide a banker's guarantee. The amount which may bei advanced without a guarantee is sttlctly limited by law, and It is safe to assume that except where public Interests absolutely ;,u!ro t the corporation does not consider Itself warranted In making advances to companies gn the brink o( Insolvency. Where advances from the' corporation ai-sought It appears advisable that the communities in- fi t volved do their share In placing utilities on a basis on which they may at least ie seii-susiaiuing. 'J Interest in Transit Award " i The subject most freely discussed yesterday in the financial district was the award made under "certafn cpndltlons" to the Brooklyn Rapid. Transit Company by the War Finance Corporation of an Immediate ad vance of $17,320,000 toward the liquidation of' the $57,735,000 of notes maturing July 1. This Is about 30 per cent of , the total. The announce ment, was accompanied by tho promise of a formal statement of the "conditions" later, 1 Among bankers and Investment houses theie was no Inclination to discuss the aubject very freely until the "conditions" were fully known.
