REPUBLIC STEEL PREFERRED ADVANCES Upon Rumor that Holders of ed States Steel Securities Are Becoming Interested in dependent Comeer: ™ NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—Prices in the stock market showed a tendency to harden Slowly agaln today. The most active stocks was United States Steel preferred and the late strength of that stock saved the mar- ket from any reaction caused by profit taking on the part of traders and made the closing strong at top prices and quite ac- tive. There was nothing In the news of the day to account for the strength in United * States Steel preferred, but the identity of the brokers most largely con. cerned in the buying caused the Inference that they were acting for the preferred conversion syndicate. Reports circulated during the day seemed to show that this buying was incident to the closing up of the syndicate’s operations preparatory to its dissolution. The second morigage bonds rose vigorousiy 2% points on this report, fhe assumption being that the bond hold- ings of the syndicate had been marketed. The strength of the bonds seemed to be unaffected by the report that a new syn- dicate would be formed to take over the bond holdings of the present one and under- write them at 6, princlpally with the pur- pose of disposing of them to the public at a profit. Nothing official was forthcom- ing regarding the syndicate operations b fore the market closed. United States pri ferred may have been affected by the d clsion of the trunk line officials to con- sider the question of steel manufacturers for a reduction on export steel freight rates. It was Intimated, however, that the railroads were holding out for a re- duction on_steel ralls. Very discouraging reports were in circulation regarding the rate of earnings on the present output of United States Steel and rumors were very ersistent of the entry of large interests n the old steel companies into some of the independent corporations. The advance of 1% in Republic Steel preferred was a re- flection of these rumors. Light buying for tained their conspicuous position of the last fewe days in the market. The retention of the present rate of dis- count of the Bank of England heiped the foreign markets and the advance in e change rates here indicated that our pres- sure for gold was relaxed. The outgo to the interior from the Sub-treasury was on A moderate scale again d although New York exchange at rose to a slight premium $100,000 of the tra or that point. Minor rallroad stocks main- tained their conspicuous position position of the last few days in the market. The consummation of the seabgard set- tlement was a favoring influence on this class of stock, pointing to the possibility of abeorption ' and consolidation growing out of the recent troubles and losses causes by the extensive shrinkage in stock market values. Minor raflroad companies which have a strategic value of position in the making of rates even where their earning nowsr 1s small, are considered to be des- tined for ultimate absorption by the larger rallroad systems. The bond market was notably firm and became decldedly more active. The total shles, par_ value, were $4,184,000. United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

Clty “I think & much larger premium will be oftered for the $184,000 issue of venewal bonds to be resold in December than they brought in the fall,” sald City Treasurer Hennings. “At that time a premium of 36,000 was offered and was accepted, as it was the highest b'd. Bince then the status of the money market has changed. People are afrald to put their money iuto stocks and corporation bonds and prefer the old, reliable securitics. They are growing con- servative, and I want to say that the m st conservative and safe thing In thé cowitry just now are the bonds of Omaha, Neb.” A special meeting of the council has bees led for 11 o'clock Friday mofning to pass the ordinances providing for the issue and to répeal authority for thé Previous isete, which has not been taken by the firm that contracted for it ¢ The treasurer has prepared cfrculars ad- vertfsing the sale for 3 o’clock ii the after- noen of December 17.
