In fact, one broker of lonp experience said he saw nothing in the market conditions to indicate a decline, but but overy thlns for the reverse.

It was believed that the public had not como Into the market yet to any great extent, and that they will not como till the element of uncertainty is removed from the apparent victory of the Allies over tho Crown Prince's nrmy. A well-known banker said yesterday that tho number of tilings which can hpppon before tho victory by the Allied nrmlcs may bo said to be decisive arc s6 many and so uncertain that whatever one may think, to venture a prediction would be misleading, as the wish would color tho thought. , "Expects Boom in Oil With Return of Peace In speaking of tho possibilities of the oil business when peace is l,( declared, a well-known broker said yesterday that he expects virtu ally all oil stocks to take a boom when that tlmo arrives. In fact, ho went so far as to intimate that they would bo among the most active securities after the war. One or the reasons he advanced for his con clusions was tho great change which wilt then bo mado in methods of j,t transportation, no claimed mat already many or tno Dig transporta tion lines were making contracts with the largo oil companies with a view to substituting oil-burning for coal on many at tho ships now lls in commission and on which it would bo next to Impossible to make tho cliango under present conditions. Ho nlsty said that many of tho huge fleets now being built in American shipyards are being constructed with a view to burning oil as a fuel, and many others will bo "snvertcd from coal burners as soon after the war ends as practicable i Ho called attention to tho increased employment of tractors on - the farms, not only In this country, but in nearly every civilized country tho world over. Next ,to Iron and steel, ho claimed tho demand for oil will bo greater than any other commodity. He said he was ad-' vising ills clients to hold on to any good oil securities which they had. Allays Fears of Excessive Taxation Tho splendid report of earnings of tho Republic Iron and Steel Company at it late of $37.76 a share annually on its common stock, after ., making a most liberal deduction for taxes, on tho assumption that the tax on profits would bo largely increased by pending legislation, will do much to allay the fears of thobo who feared that industry was going to suffer through heavy taxation. This report is all the moie remarkable when it is remembered that" in two of the five ears from 1911 to 1915 tho company earned nothing on its common stock and in 191.1 the best of the five-year period it earned only $0.49 on its common stock. Profess to Sec "Politics" Behind Wire Seizure Under oidlnary circumstances the taking over of Vho telephone and telcTaph llnoj by tho Government would bo a one-day topic in the L Street, but with the midsummer dullness almost at its height, anything serves as an CMU!-e for a, discussion. At llrst there seemed a general approval of tho Adnilulstiation's action as a thing which was inevitable, but as time wears on one hoars whispers of "politics" in the. matter One banker remarked yesterday that the llrst indication by which the ordinary lioiiM'holder with n party line phone would find that telephone service was under (iovcrnment control would be an Increase in rates. "Al ready," ho said, "the brokers are being charged too much for private wires and I don't anticipate that tho burden will be made heavier, but I am fearful of the quality of tho service we will get." On tho other hand, some bankers and brokers were inclined not 'to pass judgment till the plan had a fair trial. Some of these said the fact that there would bo an incrcaso in wugs to tho employes by tho Government would likely result in better service. Tho proposed cliango in tho manner of accounting by making the postmasters in every city In tho country tho fiscal agents was also tho subject of Mima adverse criticism, many thinking that while It might woik all light in Kuiopean countries it would not do so here, or, as ono banker put it, "Many a tiling that is considored a success In Kuropo would be Hit own asldo as a failuro in this country." Pcnn Seaboard Declares Larger Dividend A dividend of 1 per cent has just been declared by the Penn Seaboard Steel Ci rporation, instead of tho usual quarterly dividend of 1 per cent. Tills action was forecast in this coluoin about ono month ago. It is said that the outlook for this company is exceptionally good, notwithstanding the anticipated heavy taxation for industrials. Tho company owns and operates three principal plants located at Chester, Pa., New Castle, Del., and New Haven, Conn. w Lieutenant Thomas New-hull, of E. B. Smith & Co., who went to Europo somo time ago, was seen on Chestnut street today. California Commission Renders Noteworthy Decision In their latest weekly letter Henry I.. Doherty & Co. say: "Probably tho most noteworthy decision on an application of a public utility company for an inciease in rates was that rendered by the Cali fornia Railroad Commission In approving advances In gas and electric light and power rate schedules for the Paclllc Gas and Electric Company. "On electric rates tho California confmission approved an advance of one cent a kilowatt- hour on all energy sold for lighting service, in cluding domestic, commercial and municipal metered bervice; two mills ' a kilowatt hour on all energy sold for power service, including heating It nnd cnokinsr: 10 tier cent advance in monthly bills on all energy sold for municipal lighting; ono mill a kilowatt hour increase, on all energy sold to electric railways; ono mill a kilowatt hour on energy sold to all other r electric corpoiations. "In the city und county of San Francisco an increase of ten cents a thousand cubic feet of gas was approved. In other territories served by tho companies various advances were approved in gas rates, including somo meter charges of fifty cents a month, and nlso surcharges of ten : .,- cents a thousand cubic feet on all gus consumed in addition to tho rates placed in effect."
