Opposition to Rail Contract Roils Wall Street Ideal amid War News

The piece notes firmer stock sentiment aided by Allied army progress, with Republic Steel’s strong second quarter hinting at a favorable Steel Corp report. It highlights opposition led by Samuel Untermyer to the railroad contract, warning it could damage railroad and national credit, and details upcoming maturities totaling about $174.996 million in 1919. It also reviews copper industry strain from zero weather, labor draw, and roving bandits, with scattered gains by Braden and Calumet and Hecla, and projects limited beet sugar output growth for 1918–19 amid unfavorable beet pricing.
