PHENOMENAL RISE IN I.
NORTH & JUDD STOCK
Investors Planning for Big Killings
in Local Market.

An unprecedented activity in the
local stock market which has beaten
all records for high prices and sud-
den rises, has taken place during the
last week. Rumors of large orders
placed with local concerns for different
articles to be used by warning pow
ers of Europe. either as weapons or
for the making of weapons. in which
there is a large percentage of profit
have given the impetus to the stocks
Business conditions also arc rapidly
picking up and Improvement in the
American market is marked.
North and Judd.
Perhaps the most spectacular of
any has been the rise in stock of the
North & Judd Manufacturing Co. A
few days ago, the stock was quoted
around 500 share. Yesterday
morning shares sold at 105 and last
night the stock closed at 40 bid. liz
asked. This morning as will be seen
by glimpse at the Hartford stock
exchange report the stock is stu con-
tinuing it's upward march with no
signs of abatement. Financial wise
acres about tho city. who arc not con-
ncctcd with the factory, however.
maintain that tho stock will easily
reach 1875 and some claim 80 as tho
ultimate high.
The reason for this strength in the
shares is, of course, n big demand for
the stock among local Investors They
give as their opinion that shares at
40 arc nsorC than safe hCCau~C OF trc-
mcndOuSly heavy business tho COM
pany is doing. They maintain that
there l., a very heavy profit in hclli-
cosc goods and the rumor sprnging
up yesterday that the company had
landed an order for S75O.00O worth
of material is responsible for yestcr-
days advance. There is no doubt
but that the company is making big
money. Plans for big addition and
rumors of a promised cash or stock
dividend all make the stock look
good. 1t is claimed that tho company
will earn over 100000 profit this
year and that the interest on thiS'
alone should increase the cash divi-
bends to 16 per cent on the par.
