GOSSIP OF
RESULT OF NEXT GERMAN DRIVE
APPARENTLY CAUSES NO WORRY
AMONG BROKERS OR INVESTORS
A
ssussination of Teuton Ambassador to Russia Create
No Stir Buying of Steel and Other Standard
Issues on Reaction Urged Gossip of Street
rpUKnii was little chaiiKe yeateitlny in conditions In the financial district
from those which prevailed lat week. There seemed to ltc more cub
tomors In the board rooms than for some time past, as though something
was expected to happen.
The stock market opened strong, but, shortly after the opening
became soft and prices remained so for the remainder of the session.
Talk, as a rule, turned to the expected-German drive, which every one
In the financial district believes will be doomed to failure. There was
very little dlxcnsslon over the assassination of the German ambassador
to HuEsIa, and few could be found who Would lay that It might prove n
serious event at the present stride of affairs. In fact. It would Beem that
the public are Betting blase, and nothing short of an earthquake will
surprise them. In peace times an event of such Importance would have
upset the stock market for days. Today It Is scarcoly. a fivc-mlnute
wonder. Certainly, in financial circles In this city there were no tears
fnr Ambassador Mlrbnch. One banker remarked that beyond Riving the
Kaiser nnothcr opportunity to rattle the sword and threaten terrible
things, ho did not believe that anything serious would result.
Many brokers are ttlll advising their clients to buy steel and other
standard Issues on every reaction, as they have no doubt about the Isssue
of the German drive. The majority opinion says that the Investment and
stock markets will drift op to the higher levels of last week.
'Opinions on the Railroad Contract
There .seems to ue but one opinion In the financial district on the con
tact which has been agreed upon between (he railroads and the Govern
ment. The universal comment among the brokers in this city Is that the
Government has treated the roads In a spirit of fairness and liberality.
"If we had any.critlclsm to make," said Wall & McMeekin, of South
Broad .street, "it would be that the clause referring to taxation is some
what obscure, and one Is left in doubt as to whether the Government is
In favor of the segregation of the alilllated companies, such as coal. Iron,
eivi."
New-burger. Henderson & l,oeb were of the opinion that the effect nn
railroad stocky would be an advance in prices, and that the effect of tne
contract would tventuully place all railroad stocks, on a 7 per cent liasu
during tht control of the Government.
Several other bankersand brokers expressed themselves as well atis
flsd with the terms of the contract.
Banks in Wider Scope of Business
A well-known banker called attention yesterday to the activities of
the banks all over the country In many matters which although allied
with banking are In a broader sente outside of what had for many years
keen considered as the particular functions of the banking business.
He referred to the activities of many Western banks, which did a big
business In real estate, and to the tendency of eastern banks to go Into
the investment business on a big scale.
He remarked that n new activity has sprung up which Is gradually
overshadowing all these former activities, ami which when the war Is
over he believes will have become paramount to all other activities of
Ihe banks and trust companies of this country the financing of foreign
trade. Some of our biggest banking concerns, he remarked, are already
In this business to an extent beyond what is generally supposed, and In
a smaller but gradually expanding manner the smaller banks are follow
ing In their wake. This, he considers, augurs well for the enormous trade
expansion In the United States, which is bound to follow the war.
American Gas Action Confusing
There seems to be some confusion oer the action taken 'by directors
of the American Gas Company at their last meeting. As a rule, at the
July meeting the directors declare the regular dividend and adjourn for
the summer. Iteports of the July meeting stated that no action was
taken as regards the dividends, and this was construed by many to mean
that the directors- had passed the dividend. As a matter of fact, the
directors have not followed their usual custom this year to adjourn for
the summer, and the regular dividend, it is said, will be declared at the
August meeting.
The name of Itobert P. Cregar, a member of the firm of K. IS. Smith
& Co., hus been added to the committee formed to protect the interests
of the holders of the first mortgage 5 per cent sinking fund gold bonds
of the Atlantic City Gas Company, which has defaulted on the Interest
due July 1, 1918.
Germany's Preparation Quiets
Several proirtlnent brokers in tills city are of the opinion that the
fact that Germany Is making strenuous preparation for what she hopes
will be an overwhelming blow at the Allies, hasa great deal to do with
the present quiet In the stock market. It Isn't that any one doubts the
ultimate result, but the fact that the troops of the United States will be
called upon for the first time to stand the brunt of the shock equally
perhaps, indeed, in a greater degree with the French and British, lends a
new element to possible eventualities and is the occasion In the Street
of a more or less waiting attitude on the part of both investor and specu
lator, but whatever may be the preliminary result, sentiment will play a
prominent part In any speculative operations which may follow.
Lot in Government Loans Discussed
A great deal has been said pro and con over the lot in Government
loans, and there Is again some talk in financial circles as to whether It
might not be a good plan to Introduce it iu the next Issue of Liberty
Loan bonds this fall.
.1. S. Bache & Co., of Now York, in their latest weekly review, take
up the subject In an Inttrestlng manner. They say that "It la a question
whether, In the matter of Government loans, it would not be justifiable
to adopt the benefits which would come through a distribution of
premiums by lot."
Continuing, they say: "England, took up the matter seriously for
consideration, and finally decided against It not on the objection of
morality, but because it was concluded that the method would prejudice
many people. Hut the object is to raise funds rapidly and spontaneously
for a great purposo that of carrying the war to a successful termination,
which means the preservation of civilization and the wiping of a
dangerous race of ravages from the face of the earth. It would seem that
there could be no more worthy object for which to appeal to Providence
to help facilitate the result. The actual effect of premiums offered in
this way would be 'widely stimulating.
"The fact that each 200th or uOOtli or 1000th bond Eold would, If held
bv tho original purchaser, be entitled to the chance of drawing a consider
able prize at certain times would undoubtedly engender a firm determina
tion on the part of every purchaser to hold his bond to the end In the
hope of realizing one of the rewards. The establishment of the system
of premiums to be paid out to original subscribers, numbers to be drawn
for at stated intervals, and including all Issues of Liberty Bonds up
to tho present time, would, It seems, quickly restrict sales' of these bonds,
und a limited supply in the market would tend steadily to enhance the
market price, as a limited supply nearly always does.
"As far as opening up an overwhelming flow of funds for future sub
scriptions, there is little doubt that this method would have a m"ost Btlmu
latins effect, and would, It would seem, create an eager oversubscription
for all offerings.
"As tills prospect of reward would be a benefit which only the original
purchaser could realize, the individual subscriber having once acquired
his bond would hold on for. the period of the war with unswerving
tenacity, and this certainly would Introduce a most desirable and stabiliz
ing element Into the situation.
Report New P. R. R. Financing
There was a renewal in the Street yesterday of the rumor that Borne
new financing will scon be done by tho Pennsylvania nallroad. Nothing
definite could be learned on the subject, but there Is persistent talk
of an attractive note lesue secured by' bonds to be. put out In the near
future,
Some are of the Impression that the Government will provide whatever
new financing is necessary, but this Is by no . means the general
impression, I
!
Bond market conditions yesterday were somewhat mixed, and the
opinion expressed in the trade was that conditions would remain nearly
stationary dining the next few weeks, with the exception of new issues
that may be put out from time to time.
. During tlTe last week there was an unusual Jump in quotations for
' the Japanese qovernment second 44s, which advanced 11 points to 89,
closing on Saturday at 88, or a gain of 10 points for the week. The
Japanese first 4Hn advanced 2 points; the Toklo Ss, 2 points; the
y '.Jftiana 4H' KnglUh stamp, 1 point, and the Japanese German stamp,
