GOSSIP OF THE STREET
VARYING REASONS ARE GIVEN
FOR SUDDEN RISE IN STEEL;
GOOD REPORT IS EXPECTED
Banker Questions Reports of Hunger in Austria Brok
ers Look for More Favorable News From Italian
Front Gossip of the Street
jlONTINUED good news from feurope Is the reason generally given
In tho financial district for the bullish condition of tlio stock market.
Speaking of the sudden rise In the quotations for United States Steel
common yesterday and the day before, a well-known banking and broker
age house said the next report of the corporation would show a largely
Increased amount of unfilled tonnage. The most commonly accepted
oplhlon on the matter was that the greater part of the rise was due to
short covering. Anyhow, during the selling the stock came out In large
blocks, although It was claimed that the grcnter part of the buying was
by Important people who were adding
Speak'lng of the conditions which
pecially the accounts of hunger and starvation, a banker yesterday said
he questioned the full truth of these reports, especially as the great Hun
garian plains were noted for the production of wheat. "Vny one who
has been In that country and has seen the -big wheat-laden barges coming
up and down the Danube and discharging their cargoes on the quays
of Budapest will take such stories with a grain of salt," he said. An
other banker said he believed conditions In Austria were as bad as re
ported, as the reports came direct from Austria and not In some round
about way through Amsterdam which, he said, seems to be a war-news
factory running overtime like a lot of other reports we are getting.
Notwithstanding all this talk, the prevailing feeling In the financial
district Is that wo are due for some favorable news from the Austro
Itallan front which will tend prices of stocks skyrocketing, especially
the steels and Industrials.
"Poisons who have an Idea that, either through happenings in 'Aus
tria or from some other source, the war is not going to last very much
longer," remarked a banker yesterday, "should look at the subject fiom
another angle and perhaps they would change their'oplnlons. It stands
to reason that the powers that be In Washington know Just a little more
bout the true situation than we 'men on the Street' do. Why, then, all
this activity and enormous preparations for a long war? Look at the.
plants of such gigantic proportions which aie In process of erection or
bout to be erected by the Mldvale Stsel Company and the United States
Bteel Corporation.
"I understand," he said, "that the Mldvale concern Is In the market
for hundreds of machines for Its ne.w plant In Xlcetown, which Is to turn
out sixtcen-Inch howitzers. At Neville Island, near Pittsburgh, where tho
United States Steel Corporation Is to- erect a new plant, the preliminary
work is already under way and the company. It Is said, is also In the
market for machinery. The Neville Island plant Is said to be principally
for tho manufacture of shells and will be capable of turning out twelve,
fourteen and sixteen Inch shells, n't the rate of 1300 each per day. That
doesn't look like an early end to the war. In my opinion,"
Why Brooklyn Transit Broke
The break in Brooklyn Rapid Transit stock on Thursday was the
direct result of the financial arrangement in connection with the financ
ing, of Its maturing notes, which has already rccclvid attention In this
column. This arrangement makes it imperative so long as the new
notes arc outstanding that the company omit dividends on Us capital
stock of $74,455,159 outstanding, In order to conserve cash and avoid the
necessity of llnancing by tho" sale of additional securities during tliQj life
of the notes. Since 1913 the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has been
f: paying dividends on Its capital -stock,
6J. per cent was paid and in 1911 and 1912 5 per cent was paid. This
.passing of the dividend will be the first break in the dividend of the
company since 1909, when 3 per cent was paid.
Contrary to the belief In some circles, there Is to be no underwriting
(Syndicate for the new issue of Brooklyn Itnpld Transit notes that ara
to bo offered In exchange for the present $57,735,000 notes outstanding.
The exchange of the present 5s for the new 7s is regarded so attractive
as to render It unnecessary for the creation of an underwriting syndicate,
the belief being that virtually all of the present noteholders will take ad
vantage of the opportunity to he presented. Tho--e wild follow- the situa
tion closely were nt a loss to understand why present holders should
feel disposed to sell their notes, particularly at the current level of quo
tations. The new notes show a return of nearly 9 per cent on the Invest
ment. This, coupled with the added collateral to be placed back of the
new notes, presents a .situation' not often available to the average Investor.-
Rumors Keep Interest in I. M. M.
When there is a possibility that tho affairs of the International
Mercantile Marine are on the point of lapsing Into the commonplace or
disappearing from the public view, there is always another rumor ready
at hand to maintain the Interest, The recent meetings of the board were
apparently unproductive of tangible results. The latest rumor, which
was said to follow the purchase of 10,000 shares of preferred, was
an unconfirmed report that tho British Government had increased tta
so-called Bluo Book schedule nf ocean freight rates, which applies to all
British vessels requisitioned for Gpernment purposes.
The regular monthly meeting of the directors of the International
Mercantile Marine, which was scheduled to take place on Thursday, was
postponed owing to the absence of President Franklin In Washington.
fter a long meeting of the directors of the company yesterday
President Franklin fcald the plan calling for the sale of the British ton
nage stands exactly the same as at the last meeting of the board, when
he repoited that progress was being made in the negotiations. I'rpsl
dent Franklin said: "With negotiations of such great magnitude as that
. calling, for the sale of the company's British tonnuge considerable time
must necessarily be taken in meeting the various details that have to
be determined. I cannot tell you when the directors will be in a posi
tion to-put tlje matter up to the stockholders for ratification. The situa
tion Is exactly the satrie as it wus after the last meeting of the board,
when I stated that progress was being made."
According to the letters which were sent out to- the syndicate par
ticipants by J, P. Morgan & Co., the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company paid approximately 7?i per cent for the (50,000,000 loan that It
is to negotiate us soon, as stockholders have ratified the acts o'f the direc
tors In creating the new 6 per cent seven-year convertible bonds. Tile
bankers are to receive a commission of 3 per tjent for assuming the obll
gatlon, they agreeing to tako the unsubscribed portion of the bonds.
The general opinion among bankers as to the commission to be paid
to the syndicate for financing this Issue U that it Is very reasonable under
present conditions In the investment market. Some figured that the
, American Telephone and Telegraph Comjianv Is paying between 7 and
' 8 per cent for the use of the money,
. .
Another Issue pf bonds which has also been In good demand and
extremely popular Is that of (he Federal farm loan bonds, which are now
quoted at 102U,'r a 4,50 per cent basis. The attractiveness of this Issue
is reflected'ln Its fully tax,-exemptlon, provision, It being the same as the
Liberty Loan ffi bonds in this respect. These bonds were originally
offered at 101 or a 4?i per cent basis, and within a comparatively short
time $60,00010000 were placed with Investors.
There was considerable comment yesterday over the activity In the
foreign Government Issues, which continued strong on the more favorable
war reports fiom tho other side. Liberty Loan bonds were .weak, all. ma
turities showing silent recessions from Thursday's Uotations.
Pronounced weakness of Spanish exchange In this market on Thurs
day gave rise to reports In local foreign exchange circles that either an
' Allied or an American credit would shortly be arranged in 8 pa In for the
purpose of stabilizing exchange rates. Spanish pesetas declined about a
" cent to 27.30 cents, the lowest rate touched in several weeks. In borne
quarters It was thought not improbable that Otto Kahn, a member of
the, Arm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who la now In Spain, had gone there for
t the purpose of undertaking negotiations on behalf of the United States
"g.tor a credit 'advance from Spaiu., There was some discussion In the
financial district yesterday over the question of Spanish exchange and

PI AVE BATTLE GAINS IN FURY
FROM CANDELU TO CAPO SILE
Cantlnned from t'aice One
termination, but fell In confusion when
they reachpd our lines. Two or their
fouf attanklnit lllslons. which bad
been brought up overnlnht. hart not the
least Idea, of the ground. They did
not even Know they nail English tirxvn
to face, and, strangest of all, the Aus
trian staff sremed to have believed that
the whol British front was held bv
a single brigade, through which thjy
wounld simply romp forward to the am
bitious objectives tncy had set fur them
selves.
The explanation nf thla costly error
of theirs s that some weeks ago when
one of our brigades n; in the line
on the right flank, they lost a prisoner
on patrol. The enemy thus Identified
that particular brigade on the right, but
sometime later, when the brigade had
tieeii out of line to rest. It was put In
again on the left, and again lost a man
who was killed, this time on patrol.
The result was that the Austrian Intel
ligence staff, having detected the pres
ence of the same brigade at both ends
of the line, concluded rashly that It
held the whole front.

necessary to maintain the population In
health, former Premier Tlsza declared In
a speech to the Hungarian Parliament
yesterday, according to a Budapest tele
gram forwarded by the Kxchange Tele
graph correspondent at Amsterdam to
day. Germany must be convinced, added
the former Premier, that Hungary's pop
ulation la Just as badly situated as re
gards food supplies as the citizens of
Vienna. It would tax Hungary's efforts
to the utmost, he asserted, to hold out
until the new harvest.
It Is reported from Lemberg that the
disturbances there are assuming an antl
Semitic character. There has been riot
ing In the laBt few days, the correspond
ent says, at Lemberg, Styrl. Vlellchka
and elsewhere In Galicla, and it has led
to great excesses. A Jewish organiza
tion for self-defense has taken action,
It is added, to end the disturbances.
GERMAN CROPS POOR;
COLD TO ALLY'S PLEA

Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger,
Cojirfllif. lilt, bv Xew lorfc Times Co.
Amsterdam. June .2. At all street
corners In Vienna yesteraay nonces
were posted up making known to the
public a reduction of the bread ration
to ninety grams dally. The whole press
regards the matter as one of the utmost
seriousness, and Insists on Oermany and
Hungary coming to Austria's help.
The latest news from Vienna Is that
Premlre Von Seydler has declared that
both countries are going to do what they
can to assist; however, there Is a Wolff
Bureau announcement that Germany
can do nothing, end a telegram to the
Austrian Government from the Mayor
of Budapest declaring that as Hungary
has also reduced her rations and Is
without reserves she can dispatch no
help. The Hungarian food dictator
sends his sympathy.
The situation In the Austrian capital
Is made more seiious by the fact that,
as the Major has announced that no
more potatoes can be distributed after
this week, there appears to be consider
able feeling in Austria against Germany.
The Vienna correspondent of the Ber
liner Tageblatt Elves the cause of this.
He says that Germans recently agreed
to provide Austria with sufficient cereals
for the military and civilians, either
from her own supply or from those of
the Ukraine or Rumania. For' the last
week, however, the German supply haa
been in arrears to the extent ot 2000
wagons.
The Vienna Arbelter Zeltung prints a
strong appeal to the working classes to
remain tranquil, though It declares that
the Socialist party can take no respon
sibility fr- what may occur.
TMWUMM IN rKHe nrMBalti:

of June 19-20, has continued Irre

Vienna, June 22. The current Aus
trian official communication sa.:
The enemy continued his attacks
with undiminished violence to wrest
from us the successes we won east
of the Piave. His efforti again
were vain. All his assaults were
broken down before the unflinching
resistance of our heroic troop-.
The struggle on the Carsn plateau
and on the Montello Inci eased to
especial violence. Field Marshal 7.t
glger's division In their hastily con
structed trenches destroed waves
of stoimlng troops. I3 erywhere
our soldiers stood their ground In
tho hand-to-hand fighting.
On a front of twelve kilometers
(seven and a half miles), the enemy
concentrated thrusting troops,
amounting to eight leglmentn. til
order to shake the wall formed by
our brave men. The tiemendous
consumption of their man-power
forced the Italians to throw reserves
after reserves Into the battle. Apart
from their sanguinary losses, the
number of piisoners also Increases
dally. Thirty-two hundred prisoners
weie captured on the laRt righting

single Hutigatiau Infantry regiment.

Po.many and such frank stories of

"I do not deny that conditions In

Lord Robert referred to the publica

had gone to Berlin to Insist that Ger

saying that this was the kind of news
which could be published only with the
assent of Germany. He expressed the
view that If the news was accurate, the
Germans must have had a motive In

Lord Robert also referred to the Im-

"It appears to me to be admirable
