Steel and other issues which are reap
ing Il harvest of war orders were near
their best.
Bethlehem Steel gained seven points
for the day, and twenty-one points for
the week. American Can sold at a new
high figure of 591a. The strength in
American Can was due to a semi
official report that a s40,000,000 con-
tract for supplies had been closed with
the British government.
Baldwin Locomotive rose to a new
high mark on reports that an addi-
tlonal war order in the neighborhood
of s30.00O,000 had been closed by the
company. The demand for all classes
of war issues overshadowed all other
trading. and the old-time standard

Speculation in War Stocks
Worries Market MANAGERS

NEW YORK. July 24.-Efforts were
made this week to curb the unbridled
speculation in stocks which have be-
come known as war brides but they
met with Indifferent success. An Off
cial warning and denial of speculative
rumors in one case was the most direct
method.
The effects feared are topheavy
market condition caused by insecure
credits. the damage from reaction and
the danger of a spread of speculative
imitation into other fields. plethoriC
money market serves as a Stimulant.
The Orduna episode and the threatened
labor troubles We're cited as examples
of the risk from untoward incidents
Settlement of the strike at some of the
important munition plants removed one
influence, and the prevailing mood of
Wall street was that both the German
government and our own are predis-
posed to peaceful solution of their
controversy.

Bethlehem Steel was again a feature

The current neglect of the railroad
issues is due to the uncertainty over
the crop outlook. and it was generally
conceded that little will be doing in
the railroad shares until after the pub

Shy of Railroad Issues.

Substantial evidence Of the benefits
of war orders was found in the ex-
banded production and advancing prices
in the steel market, with projected
plant extensions for productive require
ments in sight. Attempts to direct
speculation into railroads were ham
pered by the large dependence upon
cuts in expenses for gains in net earn
ings and the continued shrinkage in
weekly gross returns.
Canadian Pacific, ST. Paul, Southern
railway preferred and several other
issues in the same class sold at lowest
prices in years, the decline being pro-
NOTED by dubious dividend prospects.
Practically all the shares of the roads
traversing the southern and south
western parts of the country made low
record prices.
