Hard to Hay. The turn for the better In the tock market suggested a superficially oversold speculative position. Apparently the trading element had gone abort of the market In the eiectntlon that liquida tion would be stimulated by the various uncertainties of the situation and by the failure of prices to respond to bullish developments In the recent past Being disappointed In their hopes the shorts took In their stock. In consequence the market waa a hard one to buy In from the start Bids found that itooka were offered generally of 1 per cent higher. When prices were followed up stocks wera discovered to be actually scarce. A certuln lack of responsiveness to the "malice on tne part or some recognlrcd market leaders waa criticised. Steel, It was remarked, held back rather conspic uously for a while. But It wsb admitted that the market had exhibited a greater Undenting strength than had been ex pected. Most observers, wrille admitting that exertatUm of weakness had been disappointed and that Ml sir market opin ions needed revision In this regard, were unwilling to believe that the market had changed Its character and was rr.ore than a, trading affair still. Nevertheless, the fact remained that another critical point had been passed without any alrna of real weakness. The Christmas Tree.

For some time the professional element has been extremely busy with Btudebaker, under the leadership of a well known floor trad.r. Some days ago there was a move ment In UMattock above 170, from which there waa a sharp reaction. The second movement this week has. pushed It up past the old mark. Knrly y.stenlny morning word went around that Xiude bakar was not only the pick of the talent Tor the day but also In for a big move ment. The prufeaslotittl element bulled 111 hard. Airt from the activity of the trading element, it waa reported that Mudebakcr tvas u, in,., bought In quantity by a OOmmlajUon house that has played a prominent part In tlie market U the war brides.'' Mexican I'eto. Kor a long time Mexican Petroleum rws sold In the present level without giving any particular eigne of leaving It. Outside peculation haa left It rather severely alone because of the Impression that the fluctuations in the stoi k are what the Insiders wish them to be rather than being In sympathy with the gen oral trend. But the present level Is also only a few points under the ex treme high mark nude laat aprtng In dicating that the stock haa been quietly and even surreptitiously strong. Quite a number of people have been Impressed with the eteadiness of the stock In this level and for that reason have been ull the more Inclined to lend their ears to me iaia mat nigtier price in the near future are looked for. ThU talk haa oeen accompanied by reports of the for mation of a big combine to compete with the Standard Oil.

FRANCE NOW INQUIRING FOR 5,000,000 SHELLS (irent November Salen of Struc tural Steel May Be Record Month. J. V. Morgan ft Co , representing the Hritlah and French Oovernmenla, have put out additional ateel (nqulrlea. It Is understood, for 60.000 metric tons, equivalent to about 60,000 gross ton, j largely for the manufacture of war muni ) tlona, but thn imiulrlea also Include a large tonnago of wlra and structural 1 shapea. an.

An Inquiry waa also put out for 0.000,000 jtu lis, 75 mllllmetera in diameter, for the French Uovernment. e . The orders placed for fabricated struc tural steel In November 181,000 tone, aa already noted were the largest reported elnoe .Vptll. 1909. The actual sales were very moch heavier and were probably the largest monthly sales Ui the history of the Industry, but for vnrlnun reasons It was not expedient to make olllclal re tti i n to the full extent of tho transac Uonti Bpeclrlcatloiis. of course, on some of thla work will not be re- Ived for ninny months. Another point of Interest la that while the sales last month were (iiulvalent to 105 per cent, of total shop capacity, the sales a yrnr ago that l.. In November, 1914 were only 20 per cent, of total capacity, equivalent to about 16,000 tona The month of De cember Is likely to show between 75 and 100 per cent, but toward the holidays business nearly alwaya falls off. The American Ttrtdgo Company le now operating Its Baal -rn plants at close lo full capacity. Qparations during the month will probably average about 7flJ per cent, of tOttJ capacity. It la eatl- mate.l that the Bggttffi jdatils have a capacity of 20.000 tons s?r month, but under favorable conditions as much as 10,004 ton a month could be produced. The Plnooyd Works, the largest In the lOsatern division, under ordinary condi tions can turn out about 7.1.00 tons per month, but under exceptional conditions hive a tually produced from lO.OoO to 12.000 ton per month. Tim American Hrldge t'ompary, as a whole. Is esti. mated to have a capacity of from 60.000 to 70,000 tons a month, depending upon plant conditions and tho character of Mieclflcntloia furnished. The Pennsylvania Kteol Company has been awarded a contract for M.000 tons of standard section rails by tho French OovernmonL American nulls are etill negotiating, and It seems probable that the balance of tho lno.oou tone upon a'.TIch tenders were submitted will come to this country.

Gold Loan Rondo, Capital Stock, and Serurltleg of the Other laaaeo dealt with In the Plan or Revetment In 43rfJer to preserve ttie MIsMurl Pacific System frnni the evils and losses Incident to a protonsed r wrvmhlp the Plan of Readjustment should be promptly consummated. The property does not require tho extensive physical rehabilitation or the elimination of burdensome entanglements and contracts which ara the usual causes of long railroad recelverehips. What is required is (a) the cash (approximately f41.000,000) for Immediate needs; (b) such reduction In fixed chafes as will bring them within a proper margin of the lotnonstrated earning capacity of the property! and (c) the creation of a new security to deal with the obliga Hons maturing during the next five years (approximately 1 7'),ooo,000) In so far as they do not fall within tho tih provisions of tl Plan, and to provide for future corporate requirements. Manifestly these results can be accomplished only by an early reorganization, and to this end the prompt ofoperation of the holdeto of the various classes of securities affected by the readjustment Is essential. They are accordingly urged for the protection of their own Interests and In order to insure the early restoration of the property to the management of a solvent company to dopoait their securities under the Plan of Read justment as promptly as possible, and In any event ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 1STH, WHEN THE TIME FOR DEPOSIT UNDER THE PLAN EXPIRES, AND AFTER WHICH IT IS INTENDED TO PROCEED ACTIVELY TO CARRY THE PLAN INTO EFFECT. There can be no doubt that radical changes In the financial structure of the Company as called for li the Plan of Readjustment are essential to secure the needed results. Althoigh the anticipated Improvement fn business should result In better earnings than those of the last fiscal year, which failed to meet the Interest charges by about Il.350.00O. the margin between earnings and fixed charges which Is absolutely essential for the restoration of the Company's credit cannot be assured without the reduction In interest payments sought to bo accomplished by the conversion of the Convertible Five Per Cent. Bonds and the l-'our Per Cent. Gold Loan Bonds Into preferred stock (or Income bonds). Under the Plan the stockholders provide the 41.000,ooti of cash for Immediate requirements without imposing any burden upon the holJers of these bonds; for whilo the stockholders receive a four per cent, bond equal in fn;e amount (but not in market value) to the cash which they furnish, the position of the holders of the Convertible Five Per Cent. Bonds and the Four Per Cent. Gold Loan Bonds in relation to earnings Is not disturbed in any material degree because upon the consummation of the Plan the charges ahead of them upon the System taken as a whole are not augmented while the net earning capacity of the property should be substantially increased. The attention of holders of the Missouri Pacific Four Per Cent. Gold Loan Bonda Is called to tho fact that default has been made In the payment of the Interest on the Iron Mountain Company's First and Refunding Mortgage Six Per Cent. Bonds and that proceedings have been instituted to foreclose the mortgage, by which those bonds are secured. Their attention Is also calleJ to the importance of preserving the trai'fl. relations between the Iron Mountain and Missouri Pacific Companies. Copies of the Plan of Readjustment and of an analytical statement relating thereto may be obtained from the Readjustment Managers, any of the Depositaries If bub-Depositaries or the Secretary of any of tho Committees. The Certificates of Deposit frr Convertible Five Per Cent. First snd Refunding Bonds, for Four Per Cent Gold Loan Bonds, for Trust Five Per Cent. Bonds due 1917, for First Collater.il Mirtj i? Five Per cent. Bonds due 1930, and for stock, have boon Hated upon the New York Stock Exchange. About 40 of the Convertible Five Per Cent. Bonds and 40', i of the Four Per Cent. Gold Loan Bon is have already been deposited under the Plan. DEPOSITS OF SECURITIES UNDER SAID PLAN WILL NOT BE RECEIVED AFTER DECEM BER 15, 1915, EXCEPT UPON TERMS APPROVED BY THE READJUSTMENT MANAGERS. Now York, November 24, 1915. ALEXANDER J.
