FINANCIAL NEWS .
AND COMMENT
Doubt as to Election. Results a
Restraining Influence in
Stock Selling.
LIST GENERALLY STRONG
Uniform Character to Trading
Money Sitnation Still
Cloudy. '
Trading- In yesterday' stock market
waa governed largely by the fluctuat
ing Indications of Tuesday's belated
election return. While lt was accept
ed as a foregone conclusion' that on
the baats of present figures at least
one branch of Congress had gone Re
publican by a safe majority, there waa
till on element of uncertainty In the
final results. 'This was more effective,
however, in holding the volume of busi
ness In check than lt was In restraining
enthusiasm over the latest war devel
opment In the matter of prices, for
although dealings continued In about
the samo aggregate as In recent ses
sions, the price movement was strong.
Th bulk of the gains were recorded
In the first and last hours when Indi
cation pointed more plainly to a Re
publican victory, but tho session as a
whole w a period of very general
strength, and constituted an expression
of confidence in the underlying financial
situation. '
The election, however, was not the
only thing that Wall street had to think
abouCby any means. There were fur
ther development In the peace situa
tion, including tho announcement that
a German commission had Rons u use
front to arrange an armistice with the
Allies, all of 'which" brought the ques
tion of peace mote prominently to the
foreground than ever before. Ilut while
the Street waa disposed to take a fa
vorable view of the outcome of these
negotiations, no end of uncertainty ex
isted as to -the money situation. In
a general way the appointment of a
Stock exchange committee to confer
with the money authorities on the matter
of the latest restrictions helped some
what to soothe matters In this connec
tion. The committee held a meeting
yesterday and it was reported that
another would be held to-day with the
money committee, but so far ns actual
developments are concerned Wall Street
Is Just as much In the dark as before.
The Street was hopeful that something
favorable might come out of the con
ferences, but Is without definite ad
vices. The assumption wan that If there
are any changes In the restrictions they
will probably bo for the" better rather
than for the worse.
In so far as prlco movements were
concerned the most gratifying thing
about tho day' movements was that
there was leas onesldedness to the trad
ing; that is to say, tho gains were
more uniformly distributed Instead of
being confined either to a few peace
specialties or railroad shares. The rails,
however, continued to lead the market
in strength, but there was no weakness
In the steels, and the average gains at
the closing In this department probably
contrasted favorably with those In the
railroad list. There were a few wide
fluctuations In Southern Pacific and
Marine preferred, but for the most part
gains were fairly uniform, and were
sustained fairly well to tho close, which
was about the best of the da J'" so far
as the standard shares were concerned.
Bond continued strong, especially the
foreign government Issues. Elsewhere
there was very little of Interest.
Money rates were slightly firmer, call
ing funds loaning at 6 to 6H Pr cent
for the best part of tho day as con
trasted with E to 514 per cent, through
out Monday's session. The explanation
for this was further withdrawals of
Government deposits from the New York
banks. While only a comparatively
small amount was withdrawn yesterday,
It is understood that a considerable
amount Is to be taken to-day, an
amount probably In tho neighborhood
of $100,000,000. Foreign exchange rates
continued to reflect the war news, par
ticularly sterling and francs, which were
firm. Sterling gained fractionally again,
a did francs. Neutrals wero weaker.
Custom Ilooie Receipts.
Receipt for d titles at the Custom
House yesterday were $303,156.93, of
which $99,042.52 was for merchandise
withdrawn from bonded warehouses and
$204,113.48 for recent Importations.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
1
' Market StronaT,
Wail Street yesterday had a. day of
consistent and uniform strength. There
was a disposition to ascrtbo the upward
movement to what appeared to be a
notable Republican victory at the polls,
although there was sufficient uncertainty
regarding the outcome of the Congres
sional election to deprive this construc
tive development of some of Its force.
The fact Is that there wero a number
of elements that taken together tended
to Improve sentiment regarding market
values. International developments were
highly satisfactory. Tho market had
completed Its adjustment to the now
margin requirements, and In the face of
Government withdrawals of United
States deposits, estimated unofilclally at
$100,000,000, Wall Street was glad 10
have at Its disposal the maximum credit
allotted to Stock Exchange purposes.
For the first time since the start of
recent liquidation the semi-Investment
buying was able to mako Itself felt, and
It counted heavily In the upward swing
of 1 to 4 points. Barring the artificial
restraint on speculation owing to loan
limitations and tho labor situation, which
Is expected to have more effect as time
gees on, the development In the general
financial situation are pleasing to finan
ciers and Investors, although conserva
tism and caution are "the dominating
factors.

Brokers who really seek to advlso tholr
customers and who do not have com
missions uppermost In their minds are
Informing their clients (hat the motors
cannot be strictly classed as peace
shares because, first, they are now using
from 70 to 80 per cent, of their capacity
Iti the manufacture of tractors, mine
anchors, truck motors and other war
niaterlals, and second, a lessening of the
output of these commodities following
the conclusion of peace would neces
sarily result In loss of time and curtail
ment of earnings during the period of
transition from a war to a peace basis.
They say that while the establishment
of peace would result In Increased sales
of passenger cars because of an "after
tho war demand" only the stocks of
those companies having the best organ
ization and can turn from' a war to a
profitable peace basis In the shortest
time should be considered.

Pnbllo Utilities.
There has been considerable switching
from war stocks Into high class public
utility issues that are listed on,tho New
York Stock Exehango and they have a
broad market. This switching process
has been expanding as armistices have
been announced. Public utilities havo
been bought on the theory that while
the cost of labor and materials' have
been growing steadily during the war
the establishment . of peace would be
followed by a readjustment of wages to
a lower level and a reduction In the
cost of materials. .
A Change for the Better.
The committee of five appointed on
Monday by the New York Stock Ex
change to help straighten the mbney sit
uation held an' organization meeting
yesterday to formulate complete plans
for what was termed "dlploniatlo" ne
gotiations with the money committee.
The money committee, presided over by
Benjamin Strong, Jr., chairman, who re
turned yesterday from n vacation, also
held a meeting, after which lt was an
nounced that only routine business had
been transacted. There was, no Joint
session of the committees yesterday, but
one, It Is anticipated, will be held to
day. The Street Is hopeful that tho new
committee will be able to obtain some
concessions from the money committee,
anticipating that any sort of modifica
tion will be for the better. In connection
with the recent curtailment of loans
there were some cases of Injustice and
unfairness nnd It Is hoped that confer
ences will straighten out the unadjusted
matters. There Isn't much likelihood,
however, of any modification of the re
quirement of 30 per cent, mnrgln by the
banks on loans for Stock Exchansn pur
poses, which has tho effect of restrain
ing speculative buying and which Is ad
mitted to be a sound policy when con
sidered In the light of credit conservation.
Blessing- In Dlsgnlse.
Wall Street soon will come to a gen
eral appreciation of the fact that n
maximum credit allotment Is a good
thing even from the selfish point of
view of the speculator, Kald a promi
nent banker yesterday, who pointed out
that available -credit 1b nbout to be
curtailed by subscriptions to certificates
Issued In anticipation of taxes. He said
that the mlraire of easy money dis
appeared yesterday when the Govern
ment made heavy deposit withdrawals
and the rates advanced to 6 per cent,
on mixed collateral and 6 per cent,
on nil Industrial. If lt were not for the
maximum credit allotment to stock ex
change houses the withdrawals would
have affected market values, he said,
but as lt was the upward movement waa
not hampered to any Urge extent and
there waa no reaction worthy of the
name. "There is going to be a vigorous
campaign," said tills banker, "to iret
banks to subscribe to the new certifi
cates Issued In advanco of taxes, and I
see no possibility for any ease In money
until some months nave elapsed after
the close of the war. Tho Government
needs all the credit that can be spared
and the Stock Exchange houses should
be thankful that they have as much as
12 per cent, of the total borrowings
from New York "banks."
STOCK INCREASE PROPOSED.
Wcyman-Drnton Shareholders to

Directors of the Weyman-Bruton Com
pany, It was announced yesterday, have

000 of preferred stock and a similar
amount of common. This will bring the

A director of the company said yes
terday that not more than 20 per cent.
of tho Increase In common stock Is au
thorized by the board, and will be Issued
during the next few months. There I
no present Intention of Issuing any of

SALT SALES DECREASE.
Pennsylvania , Company Earns
H.0.1 a Share In 1018.
The report of the Pennsylvania Salt
Company for the year ended June 30
last shows a large decrease In sales over
the previous year:' The surplus and
earnings also ware much lower than
last year.
The net sales for the year amounted
to $10,924,691, compared with $11,406,
223 In 1917, and $10,865,416 In 1916.
Earnings on, the $7,600,000 capital stock
were $8.61 a share, against $12.GS' In
the previous year.
In connection ,wlth"the report Presi

consignment of sliver ever sent out from

hours many workers labored In bringing

five trucks of the -American Railway
Express company 2.602 1,000 ounce sll
vcr bars, weighing In tho aggregato
more than ninety tons and valued nt
close to $3,000,000. There have been
previous shipments aggregating with
this one $17,000,000, but divided Into
smaller lot. In addition there have
been shipments from Philadelphia and
Ban Francisco. All have been made
tinder an arrangement entered Into with
Great Britain and consigned via the
Pacific coast to the Secretary of Stato
for India at Calcutta. Yesterday un
usually large shipment failed to at

IMPORTERS OF TIN
FEAR A MONOPOLY
Association Protests Control
Given II. S. Steel Products
Company.
BLAMES WAR BOARD
Declares Independents Aro
Compelled to Buy Supplies
From Competitor. .
Immediate steps are to be token by
the Tin Importers Association, Inc., to
bring about a reconsideration of the
project whereby the War Industries
Board, according to the association, has
vested virtual control of tin Imports In
the United States Steel Products Com
pany, a subsidiary of the United States
Steel Corporation. Resolutions adopted
by the msoclatlon declare that through
the action of the War Industries Board
a virtual monopoly In the handling of tin
In the United States has been created,
nnd the association, consisting of most
of ths tin Importer of America, protests
ngalnat a condition which. It alleges,
would enable the United States Steel
Products Company to build up a vast or
ganization which co.uld be used to con
trol the Importation nnd distribution of
tin In the United States even after the
war. At the same time, the resolution ,
says, present conditions compel Indc-tf
pendent tin Importers to purchase tfielv
supplies of tin from their chief com
petitor. The plans for the world control of pie
tin were made In London by the Govern'
ments of England, France, Italy and tin
United States. These plans Included pro
visions for the centralllxed purchase and
distribution of pig tin by the Government
of each country represented.
The War Industries Board thereupon
established prices on pig Jjn for Amerl
can"consumers at actual cost delivered
In. this country. Tho financing and dis
tribution of the product was placed In
the hands of the United States Steel
Products Company, and the War Indus
tries Board decided that no licenses for
Importation were to bo granted any
other concerns. The buying price In the
producing markets Is controlled by the
Interallied tin executive In London, and,
according to the authorization Issued at
the time, United States consumers were
directed to procure their requirements
through tho United States Steel Prod
ucts Company.
The Tin Importers Association fears
that, through Its war time control over
tin Imports and distribution, the United
States Steel Product Company may be
enabled to exercise a monopoly In the
handling of the product In the United '
States which might be lasting.
The association In Its resolutions de
clares that lt does not oppose, but wel
comes such Government control as may
be necessary during the war. It says
the association Itself would have been
the logical agency through which to
carry out the Government's policy In
regard to the Importation nnd distribu
tion of tin. The resolutions finally ask
that the association be given an oppor
tunity to lay Its grlveince before tho
proper authorities and makes the request
that It be permitted to submit plans "for
the exercising of sicli control over tin as
may be reasonably necessary under the
circumstances, either tlfrough firlco fix
ing, profit limitation or control of dis
tribution through a jeneral Impartial
body as ts done In rubber, tanning ant.
other Industries."
