Excitement Over Steel Suit
Hardly Evident Today.

SEW YORK. October "_'v?There was
little trace nf the excitement of yesterday j
in the stock market at the opening to- j
(lay. The rise in prices in Dondon and
Chairman Gary's statement in regard to
the government's dissolution suit against
the I'nited States Steel Corporation re
sulted in a buying movement in the steel
stocks. The common stock opened with
a block of l'i.M?) share* at 517? to 52*?. >
and on active buying advanced quickly j
to a gain of from yesterday's j
close. The preferred stock opened j
higher on a sale of l.irno shares. It1- gain
was soon increased to n point
The general market was irregular, with
an upward tendency among the more
active Issues. 1'nioii Pacitic, Reading,
Canadian l'acilic and Amalgamated Cop
per all made substantial fractional ad
vances. Atchison and Dehigh Valley
iboued some heaviness.
Selling Orders in Steel.
When advances reached a point in the
Harriman stocks large selling orders
were distributed in I'nited States Steel. ;
and tiie market reacted sharply, hater j
bidding up of Canadian Pacific, to 1SJ.M. a |
rise of two points, had a steadying effect j
on railroad stocks, but I'nited States
ttteet continued to weaken, and sold down !
to 51 ?*
The market closed strong. A brisk in- ;
qulry for the coal and transcontinental
? locks created a better demand for vari- i
ou> industrials, and prices improved con- :
siderabl y.
I'nited States Ste?-1 mounted to the best '
again, and there were substantial gains J
in a few of the copper and minor steel i
stocks.
Canadian Pacific Stronger.
Canadian Pacific was the conspicuous
feature of the raiiroad quarter, rising j
buoyantly to K. ie stock and bond (
issues were absorbed heavily at improve- i
ments of about a point. Roth the Harrl- !
man and Hill stocks responded substan- :
tlal!y to moderate purchases, and the ;
whole list seemed to feel the impulse of i
confident bu\lug.
With speculation proceeding in normal
fash>on and alarm over yesterday's dis
plav in I'nited States Steel vanishing,
shorts begun to show uneasiness and cov- .
e;ed freely before the cose, forcing up
prices of tnaiiy stocks between one anil
two points.

A Lumberman's Romance.
Ellen Mackubin contributes a would-be
priz?- winner to our Sunday Magazine to
morrow bearing the title "Oscar Carlyn's
Job.-' x()scar, a brawny lumberman, in
love with a charming city girl, was given
to overindulgence in strong drink, whic.i
! caused his sweetheart to put him on pro
! batlon.
j A formidable rival, whose pretensions
were given added impulse by a sndiien
I inheritance of considerable money, ma .e
j the lumberman's lot harder, and for a
1 time ids ca*e appeared exceedingly hopc
1 less. But the author, bearing in mind the
j fact that our Sunday Magazine stories
.must have the proverbial happy ending.
1 bas worked out an ingenious solution to
j it all. so that everybody was satisfied
I and nobody treated unjustly.
I .lames M. Marsnall died at his home at
I Kellers. W. Va., Thursday of the infirmi
ties of age.
LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS
The trading at today's meeting of the
Stock Exchange was icss'm volume than
yesterday. There was little demand
either for bonds or for stocks. The
offerings also were not large, so that with
but little to sell and a limited buying
demand, as might naturally be expected,
business was not brisk.
There was a good order for the bonds
4nf the Washington railway at 85% and
for a large block at 85 V Only one bond
was secured at the former tigure. At
the close the bid was SL'.fc and the ask
ing price an eighth of a point higher.
One hundred and seventy-five shares of j
the Washington railway preferred stock
was sold, and for the larger part, which
went in quotation lots, ?H4 was paid,
with some sales at 89*. The supply at
the former figure was evidently not ex
hausted. At the close the bid was 89* :
and the asking price 90.
The a.sking price of I.anston was ad
vanced somewhat, as compared with the
figures for yesterday, but there was no
trading and no change in the bid, which
was more than a point below the asking
price. 92*.

quiet, and prices one point higher to four
points lower. The south was again sell
ing moderately, while a little Improve
ment In the western weather situation
and a continued light spot business at
Liverpool encouraged more or less press
ure from room beurs. On the Idea that
the short Interest had been greatly re
duced as a result of recent upturns, and
with the tropical storm apparently side
tracked, there was less disposition this
morning to operate on the bull side, yet
the market seemed to have a good under
tone, and later In the forenoon continued
steady at two to three points net decline.
The market closed barely steady. with
prices net six to eight points lower. Spot

STAR TO GIVE REVIEW
BY FINANCIAL EXPERT
Beginning Tomorrow, H. A!lo
way Will Write Each Week
on Wall Street Situation.
H. ALLOWAY.
Beginning tomorrow. The Star will pre
sent each week an authoritative review
of the world of finance, written by H. AN
loway, who is conceded to be one of the
best Informed men of Wall street.
Not only is Mr. Alloway one of the dis- j
tinguished financial writers of the day,
but his experience, long in years, has
been of wide variety. With his ability as
an analyist and statistician there is linked
a rare power of narrative. His person
ality gives him popularity; his critical
judgment commands respect, and he has j
the entree into every presence of Wall
street importance.
The Alloway weekly review has the un
usual merit of being strictly unbiased and
impartial. Its author is an independent
critic.
In a recently written Wall street retro
spect John G. Wilson, long editor of the
Wall Street Daily News, has the follow
ing to say of Mr. Alloway:
His Meaning Never Mistaken.
"The position of a financial editor in
the metropolis is one of the mostdelicatc
and difficult to fill. He is at all times'
open to the suspicion of favoring special
interests?he is at all times subject to the
disfavor of men whose measures he may
And it necessary to condemn. At all (
times he must hold the scales impartially
if he is to command public hearing.
"It has been my privilege for many
years to be intimately associated with
Mr. Alloway. I know what he has ac
complished. For years he directed the
financial pages of two great New York
dallies, and the impress of his vigorous
personality Is still evident in their con
duct.
"The Alloway style is terse, epigram
matic, illuminative. No one ever mis
takes his meaning. He brings to the dis
cussion of financial affairs?so often dis- i
mally dreary?a fund of learning and a
play of sparkling wit that compel under
standing.
"We have many able, sound financial (
writers in Wall street, but we have no |
one who, in my opinion, so completely
combines the qualities of the analyst, the
commentator and the judge as does Allo
way."
