GOSSIP OF FINANCIERS DISCUSS 'NEW PLANS FOR RAIL OPERATION . . . " Z'fllW atlea Cl;iRC J07H trol Ends Gossip of the Street TUB activity in vnllroad stocks yesterday was made the excuse foi an cxtcsslon of opinion on the railway situation in the financial 'llstrict. The mcetitiK In New York last evening of the members of he. rnHwnj com mittco of the Investment Drinkers' Association of America, at n dinner Riven by the chairman, Allen 1$. Forbes, of Harris, Forbes & Co., "as looked forward to, as It was thought many valuable siigjcstloiis vouin likely be made as to the meau? by which the covcrnment can, with the least. Injury to railroad securities, return the roads to their original o.wncrs. certain banker, when remarking on the outcome of this meeting, saw, ns the postmaster general has recommended the return of telephones nun icic graph lines in a manner so sudden ns to mirprise every one, he wouiu not bo surprised to find Director General of Railroads Hines follow suit, al though the problems connected with the return of the railroads, he said, .tie more complex and linvr accumulated for n much longer period. This banker said he presumed this meeting in New York was principally for the purpose of formulating some definite plans to present to Congress when it meets. He said ho noticed that one member of the eommitteo nail prepared n plan which would merge nil the inilroads of the country into thirteen different systems. This plHn. he presumed, would divide the r0'jnlrr into regions rather than zones; in fact, that it will follow to an extent the system of the Federal Itcservc banks, and which lias been ndtocatctl by so many practical railroad men. Those interviewed on the subject were almost unanimous in advocating some radical change over the old plans of operating, but they had no definite plan to propose, saying they were not rnilrond men nnd therefore not com petent to express more than a general opinion. As one banker put tt : "Ask my opinion on anj thing finnticlul, but I don't know a thing thnt Is practical about running n railroad. My opinion would not H worth nny more on that subject than the opinion of the bootblack who is, now cleaning my shoes." Neiv Story on Mercantile Marine For some time yesterday the shares of the Iuternntionnl Mercantile Marine were lu the limelight and attracted a good deal of attention. There was a new story afloat to the effect thnt the visit of President FrnnUlin, of i that corporation, to llurnpc was concerned with the hale of both American nnd British tonnage of the company to ltiltii.li interests. A broker pointed out that the weak part of the story was jnl how nnxious these Ilritish in terests are to purchase. He said he had heard that the American directois arc by no means cnthusiaitic oer the possibilities of n sale and purchne, although it is said they are nimous for n sale. This broker said that the recent buying of the stock was cwdently by traders who hnd more faith in the outcome of the deal than lie bad. Another broker said he hnd always considered the 0 per cent bonds of the corporation a better index of ths "inside" than anything else, and as they still leniaiu around 09 he is of the opinion that "there's nothing doing." Broker Credits Market Strength to Optimism When asked yesterday to what lie attributed the strength of the stock mnrket, a prominent broker said it wns caused by pure optimism. It is im possible, lie said, to repress the optimistic sentiment of the Amreicnu people at present. There were times in the past, said this broker, when such nn important happening as the Italian defection at the Peace Congress would have stampeded the market, but not today. Ninety-nine men out of a hun dred who arc taking an intelligent interest in the outcome of the Pence Congress, if asked their opinions on the situation, will answer thnt it will blow over, or words to that effect. Rvcn when reports looked as though Japan would join hands with Italy, it made no difference, he said. A banker remarked that the action of United States Steel common stock showed that neither the Itnlian misunderstanding nor the possibility of n deciense in earnings nor n out in the dividend could affect its pi ice seriously. "Hvrry one beliees we are coming into the most prosperous times this country has ever had," he remarked. When speaking nbotit steel another banker said he hoped the industrial board nnd the steelmakers would get together agnin at the suggestion of Director General of Itailrouds Hines nnd go over the matter of prices again. , He said, us far as his knowledge of the situation went, lie expected that ... the result of such a conference would be tp finally decide on an open market for steel, but whether it would or not, it would clear the ntniosphere nnd would decide something. In that event, he added, it would bring into the steel maiket the buyers, especially those who arc' holding up big construc tion contracts until something definite is decided.
