GOSSIP OF THE STREET
; THEORIES DIFFER
, ON POOR MARKET
, Money
Committee's Restrictions
Blamed by Some, but Argu
ment Not Well Sustained
A number of reasons wero ndvnnoed
yesterday In brokers' ofllces for the
sloppy condition of the stock market.
First and foremost was tho Btandlne
,, e .i, ,
118 of the
r feature '
complaint about the restrlctlo
money committee. A pceulla:
In this connection was a dispatch from I
'New York on Tuasdav (rlvlnc as a ro.- I

dissolution of this much-abused

committee, when, according to all opltv
Ions, bucii news should have quite tho
reverse effect.
The fact that the public is not In
this market Is given ns anothor reason
for present conditions, and a third rea
son Is tho Indefinite and confused con
dition surrounding the railroads.
In defiance of all this, optimism,
rather than pessimism, Is tho prevail
ing tone In tho Street, and, In fact, all
over tho financial district. Some brokers
expect a continuance of present market
conditions till after tho new year, while
others expect at least one good lally
befoie that time.
Next Railway .Meellnc
There was llttlo Interest dlspln ed in
tho financial district yesterday over the
meeting of the Association of Hallway
executives, formerly the railway ex
ecutives' advisory committee, to bo held
In tho Grand Central Terminal In Ne
York tomorrow to further consider the
problem of returning railroads back to
privata ownership.
One banker said that as tho general

not believe that his experience would he

canvass, as he believed tho West and
South would overwhelmingly lino up
In favor of a further trial of Govern-

normal conditions, which ara likely to
prevail as soon us a final peace is
signed. lie was not lu favor of bo long
a period as five years, as suggested by
Mr. MeAdoo, and believed a thice-ycar
trial would beufflclent. 4
When asked his opinion of the appar

wages of car Inspectors from $93 u
month before Government control to
$252 after, he said thero was undoubt

and, not being a railroad man, lie could
vpnture no opinion.
Another banker said he understood
there was a good deal of disagreement
among tiio members of the executive
committee, but on one point they wero
all agreed, und that was their objection
to Mr. McAdoo's live-year plan. Up to
the present nothing. It was said, has
been definitely decided upon ns tin al

banker that nothing will be done till

one of the great banking houses had

Nine cases out of ten, the man who investigates the
Louden Overhead Carrier finds it jiut suited to his needs.
That is what the Theodore Pressor Plant found. The'

plant. They use the Louden Overhead Carrier, as do
many firms, for hauling coal and ashes.
The Louden Carrier saves time, labor and floor space,

Keep Him Smiling
Santa Claus, St. Nick, Kris Kringle or 'the spirit'pf'
Christmas" it doesn't matter much what you calj him
the idea is good cheer and gladness.
But there is no joy in the heart of the child wKose
stocking is empty on Christmas morning. There is no
smile on the face of St. Nick when he is forced to pass
by even one of the little ones to whom theday belongs.
There are 20,000 or more poor children in Phila
delphia who will be overlooked unless you send them
something toys or candy or a check to buy, these with.
Won't you help to keep the smile on the face of Qt. Nick
and his little friends by sending a contribution to the'
