US Broadway New York Telephone Rector 7662 Ka i Is Make (i a ins Despite Unsettled Tone of Market Trading Element Appears Coulent to Await Out? side Developments: Prog? ress of Strike Watched Stocks again yesterday had 1o con? tend with numerous adverse influences, and the highly irregular and uncertain movclient of prices reflected rather.?c ! curately the state of mind of the aver? age trader in speculative securities. | As on Monday, the trading element ap , peared to be content to await develop 1 ments outside of the market, and this ; resulted in a somewhat quieter session 1 in which there were few outstanding i features. The rail shares formed per? haps the most prominent group, and i here the trend was upward, with a num? ber of the more, representative issues 1 like New York Central, Norfolk & Western, Union Pacific, Rending and Canadian Pacific showing substantial net gains at the close. The progress of the strike of Kng : lish miners was closely watched by Wall Street, and reports of a possible compromise between the government and the strikers probably accounted in a measure for the firmer tone displayed by the majority of shares at the close. Sterling exchange, which was depressed early in the day to $3.40Vi, setting a new low record for the current declin? ing movement, rallied nearly 3 cents ?n the pound on the more hopeful strike news. Much of the recent selling of sterling, it is learned, has been for ; London and Paris account for the pur? pose of creating dollar balances in New ; York to be used to buy American coal and fuel oil in the event the English i strike menaces industry on the other side. Although the government withdrew $31,000.000 from the local banks yester? day, the call money market was not disturbed. Stock market borrowers found a renewal rate of 7 per cent at the opening, after which Cue rate eased off to 6 per cent in the afternoon. To? morrow withdrawals on government account will amount to $20,000,000. The effect of these withdrawals upon the local money market is minimized by ! the rapidity with which the funds flow back into the banks, which explains largely why money rates have been fairly stable of late despite the heavy . withdrawals during the last fortnight. The cotton and grain markets moved in opposite directions. Cotton enjoyed ; a vigorous recovery, the first important ; reaction from the steady decline in some time. The better tone in the ] cotton market was plainly duo to the i fact that the selling movement had been overdone, at least temporarily. Grain prices were adversely affected by increased offerings, particularly for Canadian account. Corn touched a new low record for the season. -o Money and Credit ('all money again eased off yester : day to 6 per cent, after renewing at j 7 per cent. The lower rate was reached ' in"the face of further government with? drawals from the banks to-day, esti j mated at $20.000,000. This will make ! more than 540,000,000 for the week thus i far. Time money is said to be in slightly larger supply.

Market The course of .stock market prices , at the rr.omerit seems to be under the direct influence of the news regarding ; the great strike of British coal miners. Dispatches on Monday saying that there had been n serious outbreak by the unemployed in front of the resi? dence of Lloyd George caused traders to sell stocks, and declines were the rule at the close. Yesterday the con? verse was true. Prices moved sharply upward on the'cables that the way to negotiations for a settlement of the strike had been opened by a labor member of Parliament. It whs evident, that shorts had become nervous over the possibility of an adjudication of the differences between the coal miners und the government and decided to cover stocks that had been sold for a fall. There was little indication, how 1 ever, that the public had entered the market to reap the benefits o*' the ' much heralded preelection rally. Cotton at 18-Cent Level The advance of a cent a pound it cotton contracts on the local exchange yesterday was not entirely unexpected, in view of the sharp decline of the previous day. The bulk of the buying was by shorts, the demand from this source being persistent even at the higher level. The improved sentiment, which caused shorts to seek cover, was laid to the strong tone of Liverpool cables. An interesting feature was the entrance of N'ew England spinners in the market for the first time when futures were selling near the 18-cen: level Monday. Many in the trade took this action to indicate that milis were figuring on 18-cent raw cotton. Shrinkage in Cotton Values The statement of Secretary Mere? dith before the American Bankers' As- . sociation convention yesterday, as re- : ported here, that at existing prices the present cotton crop of about 12,000,000 bales would lack more than $333,000. 000 of bringing as much as it would ' have brought a year ago attracted much attention in the cotton trade. Many were surprised at the Secretary's figures, for they had figured the defla? tion at about 14 cents a pound, or nbout $840,000,000. The slump from ' the even higher level of last spring ; and summer, it was estimated, would ; tntaii a loss to the Southern farmers ; of nbout $1,000,000,000. Secretary Mere aith's estimate of the loss in corn at j $1,000,000,000, it was pointed out, was i far below prevailing estimates of as ' high as 31.865,000,000 in the slump from mid-July, which carried values ; down 58 cents a bushel. Sear?, Roebuck The placing of a premium on loans '. of Sears, Roebuck stock and the report i that odd lot houses had refused to ac-\ cept short" sales for the time being ' caused a considerable amount of cov- I ering in this issue yesterday, and by ] the close it had scored a rise of 3 joints from Monday's last sale of ?08^. Commenting on the company's showing for October, Albert H. Loeb, vice-president, was quoted in Chictgo . dispatches as stating that sales are off ? more than 30 per cent mainly because of the fact that last year they showed the abnormally high increase of 60 per cent. "We have had unseasonable weather," he added. "There was heavy buying of blankets, winter clothing, etc., a year ago. If summer is indeti nitely prolonged there is no telling ' how much worse comparisons we might make, but, assuming normal climatic tonditions soon, we will complete 19*20 with a fair increase. Our business is good, all things considered, and there is no justification for any prediction of a reduction in the common dividend rate." Expect Lower Interest Rates The case with which the $6,000,000 Swiss city of Zurich's twenty-five year 8 per cent bonds were taken by in? vestors again emphasized yesterday their lusty appetite for long'term se? curities carrying a high rate of in? terest. In view of the success of this and previous issues carrying a similar interest rate investment dealers now are of the opinion that the rate will have to work downward, particularly as regards new domestic offerings. It i.- known that bankers have been work? ing for some time on a new Illinois Central issue of equipment certificates, and it was reported yesterday that these may be offered on close to a 7 per cent basis. Coca Cola and Sugar Probably one of.the reasons for the recent liquidation in Coca Cola shares vas revealed yesterday in the ?-tate lr.ent that no action was taken on tiie dividend in September, when the dec? laration was due. This does not mean that the quarterly dividend of $1 a share was passed. Directors are sched? uled to meet October ;">, when the mat? ter of dividends wil be taken up Bankers connected with the company said yesterday that Coca Cola is earn? ing its dividend requirements, but that funds had been temporarily tied up because of the Cuban sugar* situation. It is understood the company was com? pelled to take a larger consignment of the crop at one time than it had antici? pated. United Fruit Talk of either an ^ctra cash or stock dividend on United Vruit was revived yesterday when the stock spurted from 206 to 21:C? and closed 8 points up at 213. Thin story served as an excuse for bull operations last spring, but it was later denied that such action was contemplated. It was pointed out then that because of the expansion in the company's shipping operations, which called for considerable cash outlay, and since the inauguration of the $12 cash dividend last February, the man? agement was disposed to move slowly so far as stock dividends were con? cerned. ' The Aetna-Hercules Deal Despite the statement of officials of the Aetna Explosives Company that they know nothing of the reported ne? gotiations involving a sale of the plants to the Hercules Powder Company, cer? tain directors express themselves as confident that the deal will go through. Although '.he conversations between 'he interest- in the two companies have been ??hrouded in secrecy, it ?.??? yaid yesterday by a representative of certain Aetna stockholding interests that the company's shareholders have been offered $10.25 a share for their stock and, in addition, a block of Her? cules Powder preferred. Convertible Railroad Bonds It is the opinion of some observers that the security market of the next few months will be primarily a rail? road market, and recent performances serve to coniirm this belief. Among brokers there is a tendency to stress the double attractiveness of the rail? road convertible bond. As a bond it is pointed out, that this security carries all the assurance and safety which cus? tomarily attends an issue of this char? acter, offering as well the speculative advantages of a common stock. "It is, perhaps, r.ot going too far," said a Broadway wire house yesterday, "to say that the holder of a convertible bond is assured of a somewhat better market, for his security than is the holder of a non-convertible bond. This is especially /rue if the stock into which the bond is convertible enjoys a I Lroad and active market, in that case the price of the convertible bond close ; ly follows that of the stook, sometimes selling at a premium, provided the stock rises above the conversion price. Past experience has proven that while convertible bonds readily follow the i {rice of the common stocks into which I they are convertible in a rising market, they seldom sell as low as the stocks in a declining one."
