Cork, Oct. ) 1owed a disposition to adopt waiting attitude, with increasing weakness during the day, pending the ork out of developments in the money market abroad and the con firmation of reports on which the re- cent advance in stocks was based. The most influential of those reports have about steel trade matters ng since they first nd have lost something of credibility and of influence as a rest For in- | stance, the statement took explicit | form today that steel trade authorities ve received advices that an under- standing has been reached with regard to the matter of higher freight rates whereby the interstate commerce com- mission will permit the various roads to advance tariffs to the extent of one- half of the rates specified in the ap- plications, although the decisions of the commfssion in detall will not be announced until February. The fac that the hearings in the rate cases have I not been completed and the material on which final dcisions are to be made is incomplete, made this assertion of conclusion already arrived at seem un- timely. The effect was to arouse sus- picion n the speculation where confi- dence had been shown towards the vaguer surmises of the probabilities of favorable terms for the railroads in e decisions on rate advances, based on the knowledge that the advances named in the applications were greater than were expected to be granted. In the same way assertions tk railroads were actually spect tite steel companies the amounts of fu- t the ture purchases did not carry the same | weight as the surmise that such pur- chases cannot be much longer deiayed. ng to the urgent needs of the fon.
