WILL STHEET
(By THOMAS SHOTWELL)
New York, March 4.—Aside from
sharp breaks in a few specialties the
stock market did nothing today but
awit for news from Washington. It
had closed before congress adjourned
and a hope than an extra session
might be averted caused a feeble rally
in the last few minutes of trading.
The great body of traders quit the
street in a despondent mood because
of the expectation of an extra session
and of decisions from the supreme
court on Monday in the tabacco, oil
and corpora lion tax cases.
'Phis feeling of uneasiness was in
creased by the announcement that the
National (’ity Rank had increased its
surplus reserves to 40;r» per cent. The
bank now has more than 74 million
spot cash in its vaults against depos
its of a little over l.S’fi million. There
is such a wide gap between the cash
strength of the National City Bank and
the L*i5 per cent reserve of ts nearest
competitor that in the financial world
it is felt Standard Oil interests are
prt'paring for something of tremendous
importance. National (*ity bank offi
cials deny that anything unusual is in
view.
r. S. Rubber stocks broke frcin 12
to Central Leather from 3it to
2'^ 1-2. I-'ederal Mining decline 7 1-4
points and Cential of .N'ew .lersey UK
New York Central sold down to 10.">
1-s which is the low price tmiched in
the collapse of last .Inly. Steel sold
at 7! ."S-S which is lower than it went
after the freight rate decision. I'n-
ion [^acihs also went lower than it did
on that decision, selling at 17t) 3-4.
While the little people seem great
ly distiiined over the prospect, of a
s])ecial session of congress the import
ant financiers remain calmly optimistic
and look upon stock market declines
simpl\ as op))ortunities to [ick np
l)ar,siains. 't hey advance several theo
ries 10 support their market position.
One of tlie most interesting of these is
that given by Mr. S. U. Gttggenheim.
who is an executive and directoi of
many companies producing preciotts
metals.
The output of gold." says Mr. Gug
genheim. "has b^en phenomenally
large for the last geneiation and is
now as great as ever with pro.si)ects
4)[ continuing at the present rate or
even higher for an indefinite number
of years. This outtnit of gold has
not made its ftill imiuession on mbney
rates and on general business because
a very large per cent.age of it has
been diverted in the last ten years into
national treasttries. It, is impossible lo
give e.xact figurt's measuring these ac-
cn.mulations but the total of gold sub
tracted from the output and put into
government reserves amounts to many
million dollars.
"In the last year it has become ap
parent that these reserves are ftM'and
that the production of gold is going
more larsely into active n.‘:e in the
arts or as money, it is a.s though a
river had been Hooding over a course
in which many depres.sions had sud
denly ai)))eared and these depi'essions
had to be filled up before the water
could rise again to its usual level and
present its normal power. The flood
of gold reinforced by the vast re
serves will now sweei) onwatd into all
lines of business and quicken trade
and commerce everywhere.
"The effect Avill be in my judgment
that the railroads will sell securities
in a shoit time (m a 1-2 per cent
basis instead of j)aying 5 1-2 jjer cent
and per cent for money as at ptes-
ent. This will give the railroads a
chance to make vast improvements
even if the freight rates are not in
creased because the saving in inter
est caused by cheaper money will so
reduce the fixed interest charges as to
make the question of improvements
very attractive.”
Stocks have been highly irregular
during the past week, partly on ac
count of the unsettlement caused by
the freight rate decision and very
largely on account of the poor rali-
road earnings and uncertainty as 10 a
special session of congress. Profes
sionals attacked the market several
times during tTie Aveek, notably on
Monday w'hen supreme court decisions
w'ete looked for in vain and on Thurs
day. London sold freely on every ral
ly and it was the general belief that
foreigners were taking profits on the
stocks purchased in the break the pre
vious week wiien the freight rate de
cision w^as announced.
E. K. Gary, head of the steel trust,
returned from a vacation and gave out
some very optimistic statements re
garding the condition of business. He
said that orders had come in during
February in larger volume than in
.January. Other steel men say that
while the orders have come in lar.ger
v()lume the increase of unfilled orders
will not be so large as iff' .January
because the mill.i are being operated
at a greater capacity than they w^ere
in .January.
