slBpbl"1 Hesitates to Invest in Securities While Uncer
tainty Over New Income Tax Continues.
Gossip of the Street
- i.. . . , .
XTOTWITHSTANDIXG that tho war stocks especially United States
i Steel, -were under pressures jestcrrlij-, there were few If anv broltprs
rsf-in this city who believed that nnv chinno would bo made by the United
f'r" States Steel directors In the dividend on Tuesday next. And as for peace
talk, it was "taboo." It would he difficult to find any bankers or brokers
'In this city who believe tint the present operations on the nuropcin
J'S;front are anywhere near such a lmcnlttide as to create serious thoughts
.Siof peace on either side. As a well-known banker o this city, who has
been to the front, said a few divs am. "'r hive to 'lick' ricrmnnv twice"
f'i He referred to first "licking" her
t"nd then ticking her on her own
,:naps of the territory still occupied
Cic;3Can be seen, peace is a Ions wav off.
l Many hrokeis attribute tho present condition of the stock market to
the pending letrlslitlon on taxation, which they claim Is keeping the'
icn public out of the maiket until It kuwa to what extent incomes derived
St'from securities will be taxed. There Is still, however, each dnv a belief
fthat wp are passing through one of thoe periods of calm when no ex
"' Cuses or reasons can satisfactorily account for tho reticular turn the
." market will take. Rome brokers were Inclined to think the present de
cline in prices had inn Its course and that, with continued good war news,
.itsbthe market would soon turn upward
Conditions Not Due to Money Shortage
to! The discussion In tho flnanctil dlstilct still goes on as to whether It
Vlvls really the money conditions w hlch nro responsible for the present pecullnr
conditions In tho stock market or whether some other reason can bo
uncovered.
"ot According to those best Informed concerning the situation, pre all
ot jlng conditions are not attributable to any acute shortage of money, hut
n"more to a disposition on the nart of the leaders to keen the market In a
I. oo" position where It can meet any demands made upon It. In other wnrds,
an organized effort Is being made to keep the money situation in con
a." trol. Tho enormous transactions made ncees'-nry bv Government financing
s-wtoelngccomplished without anv disturbances Is icgardod as proof positive
-liVTof the sound position of the money mirket.
91" Financiers claim that money Is available for legitimate purposes,
but none Is available for spcculition This the money poweis icsaid as
r decidedly undesirable at such a time as tho present. Call funds arc being
J .supplied as needed and there are sufficient amounts offered each day to
i i tneet the current demand and prevent an advance in. rates,
The present policy is one. of conservatism. How long these conditions
Titl prevail It is Impossible to stnte at this time. It is believed, hovevei,
e. that money will continue at 1th present level for some time. If any
sw change should occur it is believed it

:RumoredyP. & R. Will Issue Equipment V
' There Is a vvell-dcflnerl rumor in the Street thai
, , Company has made -application to the capital Issues committee for per-'-mlsslon
to Issue quite a largo amount of equipment notes, nnd It Is paid
t'""1hey will likely be Issued ver soon through the usual channels.
In connection with tho aboe a well-known banker lornarkeil jes
terday that quite a number of railroads arc up against a problem of no
" ordinal y proportions. "It will be lemembered," ho said, 'that the mil
V.i,Voad administration some time ago oidered ,i large nmount of rnllroul
Vequlpment In the form of freight eirs and locomotives and these are
'.Jjeing assigned to certain loads At the same time thec loads are being
ar 'Instructed to make the necessary arrangements with their lunkeis to
I -meet the bills.
- -Last May," ho continued, "this equipment piogram was di.iwn up
.' "by Director General McAdoo and called for the expenditure of almost
.ni-'T$SOO,000,000, and it was then stated, as I lecollect, that palt of he
i-1-capital necessary to pav foi the equipment was to come out of the rovolv-
'lng fund of $500,000,000, with the idea in view that it would eventually
'be repaid by the roads receiving the equipment.
"It is evident thej are now being asked to fulfill their part of the
program 'But giving directions is one thing and getting laigo sums nt
lVift! money these dajs Is quite another,"
t"oads as the Reading will have no clllllculty in tne matter, u win do very
difficult for some of tne roads, especlallj as the amounts to be raised
lfi&re quite large."
' vBabson's Letter Causes Price Slump
There was consldcinhle amusement In financial circles In this city
!
11
yesterday over a reason for the sagging in prices on the stock maiket
which originated in Now York, but which had been overlooked b the
"brokers here. It was claimed that a special lottei fiom Roger V. liabton,
-J, Bnancial expert, economist nnd publisher, had caused all the tiouble.
vi' xne following is a copy 01 me uausun n-iici .
fc-i.W "When we advised the purchase of stocks last winter we distinctly
S'Jpointed out that, wo anticipated an intermediate swing, such as occuned
:sln 1911 and 1912 and not a broad bull movement. The rise which we
' Jooked fpr has already taken place. Stocks are now around the hUli
i c levels of the jear. Fundamental conditions are not satlfactorj Devel
opments on the western front are very encouraging and have caus-ed
' bullish enthusiasm in the stock maiket. ffc advise clients to take advan
itrvtage of the opportunity furnished by this optimistic sentiment to take
.'(-profits on all industrial and copper stocks. This applies to the following
',iillst of stocks which we suggested ns a purchase in Nov ember and Decern
rV ber, 1917. Continue to hold jour ralhoad and public utility issues."
"'"'' ' "BABSOX'S."
WriV"" In commenting on Bahson's letter theie were quite a number of
"""brokers who doubted the patriotism' hehind such a public statement.
They pointed out that many er wealthy men nro engaged In tho war
Tjjptvho had large fortunes Invested In the ery securities of which the Babson
rfi letter advised the sale, and that this
continuous succession of splendid victories. If this Is tho pioper kind
g of advice, they said, while the Allies are winning, naturally the reverse
if would be correct when they are not making headway.
4 Stamp Sales Indicate Huge Savings
The manager'of an old-established banking and investment house In
terested in the war-savings stamp
"the new records which are being
" savings and thrift stamps furnish further evidence that the people of
this -country are saving their money nnd that the total of the savings Is
surprisingly large.
"It is realized, of course." he remarked, "that a considerable number
of the persons who buy thilft and war-savings stamps are not in the
j bond-buying class, except in a small way. Still it is believed that the
practice of saving in small ways to buy the stamps will lesult in laiger
savings on the part of a large number of persons and these will eventually
become bujers of railroad, industrial and other bonds as well as Govern
ment bonds."
It has been rather disappointing that the stockholders of tho Ameri
can Telephone 'and Telegraph Company took only a small amount of the
recent Issue of $4-1,500.000 bonds.
These bonds are now being offered at 94, to jield about 7,10 per cent
to investors, and it is expected they will soon be absorbed. Xo ofllclal
announcement of the failure of tho stockholders to subscribe wa3 given
out, but a report from Boston said that only one-third of the bond3
were taken by the stockholders.
A -well-known banker and broker said jesterday that those who had
taken Roger Babson's advice to sell leading stocks had no doubt for
gotten his advice to buy Russian bonds when they were at their highest
top-notch price.
,
A special meeting of stockholders of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation
has been called for August 8 in Newark, N. J , to authorize $500,000,000
bonds under a consolidation mortgage covering all the property and
assets of both the Bethlehem Steel Company and the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation and to consent to the Issuance of $70,000,000 bonds under
the aforesaid mortgage to secure the issue of $50,000,000 7 per cent notes
and to ratify the sale of these notes to tho banking syndicate formed
by the Guaranty Trus) Company, Bankers' Trust Company, J. & w.
Seligman & Co. and Chase Securities Corporation.

The Wolff Bureau's correrpondent at

the Americans These losses, he says
were due to the Americans being mixed
for the first time with 'savages and

Wait Until the
"Number" Answers or
the Operator Report
ON E of the things that causes tele
phone congestion is the practice of
abandoning calls.
Very often a subscriber will call a num
ber and if he doesn't get an almost
instantaneous connection will hang up
and try again later. He believes that
minutes have elapsed, while in reality
it has been but a matter of seconds.
This hanging up of your telephone re
ceiver wastes your time and the time and
labor of the operator, and means that the
whole operation must be repeated later;
then again, if the called party comes on
the line the operator must answer: "Ex
cuse it, please," or "Party's gone."
Please remain at your telephone until the
called subscriber answers or the operator
reports. This will mean a saving in the
time and effort of 'the three parties to the
call, and involve less use of the lines and
equipment at a time when the Telephone
Company is striving to avoid unneces
sary service congestion and when all its
facilities are directed to the task of meet
ing the increasing general needs of the
country.
The Bell Telephone
Company of Penna.
