GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.

Hip local stock market was airnin Im-

pervious to the London striko news, exceptIbiH It wn rntlior heavy In tlio first hour.

rereslolis anywhere In the llt, andthen the local market advanced, as If theforeign labor troubles wore of no particularrnnfMiience Private cables expressingcplnlons on the duration of the strike wereeeneriilly more encouraging than the pub- -'

.h-- d despatches. If for no other reasonthan that In the ery nature of things a striketliicittciilnir paralysis of (treat llrlluln'sI imlnr cannot long endure, bankers ly

Germany continues to negotiate loansin this market. To transactions with thatcountry was attributed the strength ofthe foreign exchange market yesterday.Many of the current transactions are re-

newals of loans of thirty and sixty daysmade in the latter part of last year andrenewed once or twice already, fn addi-tion there is some fresh borrowing forHerman account, anil it Is probable thatthe credit balances of the New Vork hank-er and the New Vork houses of interna-tional' bankers ore increasing, notwith-standing the factthat tnnny of their (lerinanloans are maturing, llerlin IncidentallyI feeling the effect of the British coal striketo a greater extent than is any other coun-try except (Ireat Itritain Itself, Yesterdaythe Berlin security majket was even weakerthan' 1ondon's.

"Dissolution bath" U a phrase coined byPoraker in a speech liefor

business men of Cincinnati. The formerSenator's assigned topic was, "What Is theMatter With Business?" and he cave asune of the reasons that many corporations,unlike Standard Oil and Tobacco, had notset had dissolution baths.

St. Paul advanced yesterday, obviouslyrather looking toward the future than re-

viewing the past. Its January statementcame out and showed that though the dom-inant compuny fared better than most otherWestern roads In that month the systemas a whole failed to earn its fixed chargesby $547,000. The dominant company lost$4W),000 in gross earnings, but Its axpenseswere kept down, with the net earnings de-creased only $M,0(). The comparison ofnet earnings with January of other yearsis, however, less favorable. In loov, forinstance, January net was $1,088,000. asagainst 1250,000 last January. The l'ugetHound in January sustained an operatingdeficit of $159,000. It was authoritativelyreported that February earnings of thewhole system were much better, and spec-ulators alto kept In mind the optimisticinterview given out by President Karllnlast week.

The flrst Government crop-epor- t of theyear will be given out on March 8. It wlttgive the reserves of wheat, corn and oatsleft In farmers' hands. The propinquityof the report Is a reminder that there ap-proaches the time when the crop expertceases hibernating and with faculties brightened by a lonfr. vacation goes out to appraise the damage to winter wheat.

The Interstate Commerce Commissiondecided several rate cases, most of thedecisions, as usual, being against the railroads. None of them was of Importanceexcept by way of cumulative effect. Therewas some expectation, as is customary onMondays, that the Hupreme Court wouldrender a decision In the Heading case, butno decision of any market Importance washanded down. The Heading case wasargued so long ago that a decision was expected as late as last December. At thattime the men who had given the closeststudy to the case were confident of a victory for the company. The court's delayin deciding it suggests a disagreementamong the Judges and tends to modify thecommence in inner circles oi ine company.

Central and Atchison figures of Februaryar loading strengthen the opinion that

though storms Interrupted traffic In Feb-ruary ns well as in January the former wason the whole the better month. Marchshould show a decided improvement, forcars are everywhere in demand to movetraffic held up by the Inclement weatherof the previous two months. With normalneather conditions this month all of therailroads should be actively and profitablyemployed. It has been the experience Inthe railroad business that losses on accountof bad weather in one or two months aremade up by profits In other months, andlew experienced speculators regard lossesI rum storms as, anything more than a super-ficial bear argument. This year, moreover.the same weather which has hamperedthe railroads has greatly Improved theprospects lor winter wneai. ,

The Vacuum Oil Company has filed atMhany a certificate Increasing Its capitalfrom $2,500,000 to $l 6.000,000. and the manNgeinent has cleared up a little confusionresulting from the fact that books closedfor the annual meeting 6" February ID,while at the annual meeting on February :ttock holders of record on that date obtained

the right to subscribe to the new stock atpar. The result of a strict Interpretationof this rule would have been to deprive ofhiibscriptlon rights those who purchasedHis stock between February ID and Febru-ary 20, The stock with rights Ib worthabout JVK) a share and. without rights abouII 80.
