hw 1'A ' V A, v; 4 Wis GOSSIP OF THE STREET RENEWED STRENGTH IN STOCKS FOLLOWING RAIL AGREEMENT EXPECTED IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES Hostile Attitude of Security Owners Hard to Under standMost Authorities Believe Steel Dividends Will Be Maintained Gossip of the Street gHOimvr after the opening of the stock mnrltct Saturday trading; came Jlmo,t ! a B,nnls'lll' Simultaneously the report of Oeneral von HlndenburR's death came nlonfr. when some one facetiously lemarked that possibly the stock exchange had closed In honor of 'the event. But the familiar "click, click" Interrupted the remark nnd buMnesi on a ery limited scale continued for the remainder of the half session. There Ta( no special feature to distinguish It from the average Saturday halt session. The news from the Kuropean front continued to be reassuring, and as far as war news was concerned It did not seem to hae any effect one way or another on the prices of stocks. Continued reports of splendid crops are coming In, especially from the West and Middle West. An Omaha banker who Is on a lslt to the city snld he never at this tlmo of the year saw the corn so far advanced or such heavy crops as he encountered In the States wrst of Chicago. Hast of Chicago, he said, the corn crop looked sick as compared with that In the West. Urokers generally look for the mniLet to start out from today with particular strength In rails, lndustilals nnd equipment, especially rails. The reason for their faith In the rails Is because most of them consider the railroad standard contract as virtually settled Opinions Conflict on Railroad Contract That the opinion expressed by the lepresentatlvcs of the National Association of Owners of Italhoad Securities at the conference on the standard railway contract Is entirely opposed to the spirit In which the Government has Indicated It will treat the owners of the railroads was the opinion generally held by bankers and brokers In the financial dis trict Saturday when they read the accounts of the proceedings of the conference of railroad executives and representatives of the National Association of Owncis of Itallroad Securities which was held In the Grand Central Station, New York, Triday to discuss the terms of tKe contract. Thomas DcWItt Cuv ler, as chnirman of the railway executives, an nounced that "the committee feels that the proposed contiact Is In the main acceptable," while the lcprcsentatlves of the National Asso ciation of Owners of Railroad Securities said that the pioposed contract "Is unacceptable In the partlculais set forth In the letter of the com mlttees of July 11." This letter was published In this column on Satur day last. One banker said he could not understand the executives of so many of the big life Insurance companies being represented on the security owners' committee, as the companies for years past have claimed they Invest only In the bonds of the railroads, and as far as he undei stood the status of the bonds was not affected In any wa by the rontract. The most geneial comment was that the owners' committee was trying to get as much out of the Government as was possible Speculation Over iS'ext Steel Dividend Theie is consldeiable (,uiet discussion going -on In the financial dls trlct over the next quarterly dividend of the United States Steel Cor poration on the common stock. That the extra dividend would be reduced was the opinion held by a few after the preliminary proposals were made In Washington In con nection with the new Federal Income tax and excess profits law, but a majority at that time held that the earnings will Justify the corpora Hon ictalnlng the present rate of 3 per cent extra, notwithstanding a decided Increase in the reservation foi taxes, and the minority opinion Is being won around to this view. It is hald tho lorpointlon will spend this year $145,000,000 in new construction and additions, and It Is said this circumstance may affect the decision of tile directors in considering the dividend. But.lt Is pointed out, on the other hand, that $TlO 000,000 of this sum has been appropriated in the past and was shown on the corporation's statement at the close of 1917. However, those most In terested In the dividend will not be kept long waiting on the anxious bench, as the announcement of the directors' action will be made on the last Tuesday of this month. Meantime, up to the present no hint of their contemplated action Is obtainable.

Again t heard a bang This time vvlth"nn accom panying Jingle liven through the thick walls of the" house T could hear angry voices, but could not distinguish the words. Once again came that bang, and I decided it was some one pounding the table In Francis Oranam's room, "dee," I thought, 'that's old rillsbury, and perhaps Qurston Is there as well. I guess the Consolidated Machine Com pany is laying down the law to Francis " And hands and face damp and hair all Rumpled, I hurried Into my coat nnd. going into the corridor, knocked at Fran cis's door. There was dead silence for a minute and then Francis opened the door. He was apparently as calm as ever, but I noticed a little throbbing In his neck, which I at once lead as a sign of repressed excitement "You are late this evening, Flint," he said In a cold tone I looked surprised for a minute and then It flashed upon me he wished me to act as his secretary again I walked into the room, but neither Plllsbury nor.Queston was there. In stead there was a rather short, solid, foreign-looking man He looked about forty -five or fifty, had a very red fjice and gray moustarhe, which turned up at the corners, and gray hair which stood up all over his head, giving him a look of surprised Indignation ' My Blnnen, my sectetarv, Mr. Flint."
