EQUITABLE BUILDIN0, NEW YORK
Movement In the peneral stock mar
ket yesterday were not significant of any
cliaiiRO In Wall Street sentiment or In
Him nttllude of tlie public toward upecu
Ihitlio opcratlonx. Prices again fluctu
ated under the Influence of the transac
tions of professional traders, who were
unwilling to make extended commitments
ror either account pending a clearer view
of the probable outcome of the interna
tional situation as between the United
States and Germany, while the price
changes from the preceding day, as a
rule, were unimportant and not Illumi
nating tin a guide to the course of mar
ket values In the Immediate future.
It n as a stupid speculation, but not an
Illogical speculation. No one had looked
.for active movements. And no one will
look for expansion In dealings until cur
' rent uncertainties have been eliminated.
Wall Street Is not at all enthusiastic
I regarding the situation In Congress, but
.it believes that the various elements wilt
'get together before final adjournment,
and that the thing which may bo best
for the country will lie aqreed upon, de
spite tho efforts of lawmakers of tho
I llryan typo not only to Impede measures
upon which tho financial and Industrial
prosperity of the country may depend,
hut also to tie the hands of the l'rcsl
I dent In the conduct of our relations with
'fi reign I'owers. Tho Street never has
been particularly enthusiastic over the
work of the present Congress, but It Is
I not openly criticising the legislatures at
I this particular time, while It Is extend
, Ing In Its advices to Its correspondents
In Washington the promise of financial
assistance In any undertaking which may
'appeal to the Administration In the pres
ent crisis. The uncertainty, however, as
to the probable course of affairs in Con-
Kress Is intensifying the seml-stagnatlon
In the securities markets, and to a cer
tain extent Is Inducing selling pressure
from stock market operators who find In
the absence of public support an argu
meat for lower prices.
Pressure of this sort was rather
marked at times in yesterday's) deal
Ings, particularly in the Industrial
shares. The movement failed to attract
outside liquidation, while on the decline.
especially that In the last hour, some
buying wa.s reported for the account of
siittantial Interests who apparently
were willing to ndd to their holdings any
amount of stock that might be offered.
ActunJ offerings, however, were light,
the gi eater part of the business repre
senting little more than efforts on the
part of traders to make profits on
quick turns. In a few issues declines
ran In excess of one point, with an
escentlonal loss In Bethlehem Steel,
but In the. greater nuvber of Issues
final . quotations were riot materially off
from the closing of the preceding day.
Itenorts from trade centres presented
little upon which bearish arguments
could be bated, and the move
ments In the loan market represented
nothing suggesting an unfavorable
change In the position of money In this
country. Mates for call funds ruled on
an easy basis, while for fixed periods
accommodation could be had at attrac
tive figures. The time money market,
however, was practically lifeless. In
foreign exchange the volume of Business
was light, with quotations fluctuating
w ithin narrow limits, except In the case
of Italian lire, which declined to a new
law record.
More than usual Interest was shown
tn money market circles over the prop
osition In the Senate bill to provide
iihivv for emergencies, particularly as
the suggested bond Issue of 11 00,000,
oni) Involved the conversion privilege.
With buyers knowing that they will be
able tn convert their 3 per cent, bonds
into a Cinvernmpnt security bearing a
higher rate of Interest there will be no
lack of response to the offering, not
withstanding that the' bonds cannot be
used as security against bank note cir
culation. Sales were made In the course
of the day In the Stock Exchange of the
Panama 3s at 101.

Overt Ada and Investment.
Overt acts against the peace and pros

mitted by Germany, but apparently the
Investment community is not Alarmed
for the future of American corporations,
the earnings of which are back of actual
Investment values. There Is no Invest,
ment liquidation and there are nolndl
cations that war with Germany will
bring out Investment holdings. No good
reason can be advanced for a panicky
feeling among the holders of high grade
securities, but naturally with nil the
current uncertainty regarding Interna
tional developments new buying or

One I'.fTect of Market Dnlnras.
Tho perceptible slowing up of business
in the financial district, due to the Inter
national crisis, tecalls to tunny house
managers the dull days of midsummer.
There has been a decided weeding out of
employees In the last three weeks and
the Incompetents and misfits are leaving
the Street. The tremendous markets of

were of common occurrence, compelled
brokerage houses and firms handling
commodities to put on extra men, and
even with the extra help work until far
Into the night was of every day occur
rence. In the present restricted markets,

American Tobacco.
The retirement of $25,989,400 In pre
ferred stock of the American Tobacco
Company, with tho accompanying reduc
tion nf Its authorized preferred from $80,
000,000 to $54,010,600, Is another el
dence of the stable, manner In which the
enmpnny has dug Itself In financially.
The proposal, as recently announced In
this column, will be considered by stock
holders on March 14, and they undoubt
edly will follow the desire of the direc
tors. This preferred stock, now In the
treasury, was received In exchange for
preferred stock of the Liggett & Myers
Tobacco Company and the P. Lorlllard
Company. "The corporation has no ne
cessity to dispose of this stock," said a
director yesterday, "and considers its re
tirement a benefit In further stabilizing
the remaining stock outstanding.
In the Event of War.
There Is no reason to anticipate that a
declaration of war by this country would
have any Immediate effect upon the busi
ness hltuatlon, other than that resulting
from additional stimulus, says. the Na

The demand for bonds continued quiet
yesterday. While Investment bankers
report plenty of funds available for In.
vestment, It Is found that whenever a
block of securities Is offered to Individ
uals they express a desire to wait. In the
belief that further complications with
tlcrmany will lower prices.
A fair demand is reported for the new
Southern Unllway two year notes.
Lee, Hlggtnson & Co., as the head of a
syndicate of bankers, have practically
sold nil of an Issue of $5,000,000 of Pub
lic Service Company of Northern Illinois
6 per rent, debentures.
In the railroad department of the bond
market on the Stock Exchange St. Louis
and San Francisco issues were fairly ac
tive. The prior lien 4s were a shade
higher, but the Income 6a were slightly
lower.
Foreign government Issues were heavy,
Anglo-French 5s losing mora than half
a point. United Kingdom loans were
also slightly easier.
Industrials were Inclined to sag,
United States Steel Corporation sinking
funds 5s declining one-quarter of a point
and American Telephone and Telegraph
one-eighth. Lackawanna Steel Es were
under pressure.
Total sales amounted In par value to
$.1,165,000, compared with $3,491,000 on
Tuesday and $3,248,000 a week ago.
Quotations on governments and sales
of other bonds follow:
