WALL STREET NEWS
Stocks Are Bu0yant, Many Showing
Material Gains-Can Estab-
fishes New Record.
d. rHoMAs 9. sHoTwELL.

New York May I1.-Stocks were buoy
ant to-day IN Wan Street and closed at
about tie best prices Material net gains
were recorded in scores. OF stocks. A few
made new high records. Among the lat
ter were. Of course. American Can, and
on the curb British American Tobacco
ana Anglo-American OIL sold at the high
est prices on record when they touched
2 and I9, respectively. The tobacco stock
is up because Of an important deal made
with the Imperial Tobacco Company OF
England. which turns the United States
over to the Tobacco Trust, bound hand
and foot.
Lehigh Valley and Steel were the mar
let leaders most OF the day. Lehigh was
two points higher at the opening and
added two more to that price. The ac-
tion OF that issue and OF American Can
shows clearly that the First National
Bank outfit is committed to the long side
OF the market. Their enthusiasm for the
market is based largely upon belief
thai al conferences 10 be held. Tuesday
the anthracite troubles VIII be adjusted
and that this settlement viii facilitate
arbitration OF the railroad troubles.
In Steel the advance was due good
deal 10 the optimistic statement made by
Charles NJ. Schwab, who takes the posi-
tiou that the trade is in a healthy con-
dition. Some Wall Street operators have
been frightened at the big business done
by the steel companies and have been
selling Steel on the theory that 1t was
simply wearing out its mills and getting
no profit Better judgment apparently
has prevailed.
One Of the bear operators in Steel was
a director OF the trust and he saw the
light several days ago so clearly that
It was said to-day he had succeeded in
repurchasing his entire line OF Steel and
would object to the rise no longer.
The decision by the Supreme Court in
the Coal Trust cases is expected Monday.
The decision will have a favorable in
fuence on the market, no matter what
It is. The crop outlook Is magnificent
and business in general is showing con-
stant Improvement.
The Washington herald., 1912-05-12

panies' shares were largely dealt In.
Prices have been firm on the Paris anC
Berlin Exchanges. but there were no spe.
cial features in the trading. European
financiers are carefully watching Ger.
man financial conditions. Although the
principal German banks early In the
year cautioned the German people
against extravaganza and speculation,
little heed has been taken. The
money recently loaned to German insti-
tutions by American bankers is being
withdrawn and British and French
bankers are not showing any disposi-
ton to lend money to Germany. except
for urgent needs.
The General situation.
There is some complaint from dealers
In white goods because Of the backward
ness of the season which retards the sale
Of these goods, and in some Instances
wholesalers have made concessions with
a view to stimulating orders from deal
ers- The lateness OF the season and
consequent hesitation OF retailers Is also
affecting the advance sale of fall goods,
but both these phases Of the situation
are only temporary and will cause no
lasting bad effect upon the textile in
dustries. Copper metal sold above Is
cents again this week, and the undertone
OF the market Is strong. with sellers in
full control European stocks of cop
per on May l are reported at 4s.s3s tons
against 4s,sol tons on April Is. and TT.5Ss
tons year ago. The slight increase In
these stocks has had practically no eff
feet upon prices across the water
There is nothing in sight to Indicate
any departure from the general charac-
teristics Of previous good reports.
Money.
Money continues easy and plentiful
although the banks in addition to the
dividend and interest payments
have had to prepare for the iotation
of the new municipal bond issue. They
have been assisted In these operations
by the big credits abroad. Opinions as
to how freely We have drawn upon these
credits differ greatly. Some OF the es-
Inmates indicate that our foreign credits
are now down TO about S25,00o,0Oo. as
against estimates OF as high as SlOO,-
0o0.0oc. when the German demand for
accommodation was at its height. The
best any. one may do in this connection
is to make a very rough estimate. There
is very little upon which TO base any
thing like exact calculations. We rather
doubt that we have used any such
amount OF our foreign credits as is In
dicated by the difference between these
two sets Of figures.
