DIVIDEND ALTERATIONS
DID NOT AFFECT STOCKS
Neither Baldwin Nor Buffalo
Preferred Reflected the
Change-Tractions Strong.

Two local stocks which were watched
with some interest today on account of
the action taken on their dividends after
the close of the market yesterday were
Baldwin Locomotive Common and Buff
falo & susquehanna preferred. In one
case the dividend was passed and in the
other an initial payment was declared,
yet oddly enough neither stock moved one
way or the other. each opening uh-
changed at their previous closing quota
tion. Buffalo & Susquehanna Common,
however, scored n dollar gain.
In New York Baldwin rose to 40 at the
close, but no sales were effected here
after the early dealings.
The traction issues were again in strong
demand this morning. Rapid Transit adj
vanoed to sla. while Union Traction also
hardened On the other hand, Philadel-
phia Traction made a new low. Cramp
Shipbullding recrossed 49, but did not
maintain its advance.
In the bond division the only feature
was the trading in Pennsylvania general
mortgage 41Rs when issued. 1t was ruled
by the Exchange that these temporary
certificates deliverable when issued shall
become due and he settled on Wednesday,.
June 2. 1915. Welsbach 5s moved up n
point. The usual sinking fund purchases
are now in progress.
Local bankers report almost complete
stagnatlon in the money market They
explain this by the conservative attitude
adopted by nearly all business men while
awaiting Germanys reply to President
Wilson's note. No one feels like making
new commitments until the shadow of
possible war is removed. hence money.
instead of tightening, as some people eN
pected, has merely remained inert.
Plenty OF call funds are obtainable at
3ia per cent, with commercial paper
ranging around 4 per cent
