The Russian troops welcome the opportun. ity. and count upon aid from slavs in the Balkan countries. even in Bull garia itself.

BALDWIN AT NEW TOP;
LAKE SUPERIOR FIRM
Feverish Activity in Local In
dustrial Issues Laid to War
order Craze.

Industrial stocks continued TO dominate
the local market in this city during the
two hours II remained open for business
today Baldwin Locomotive and Lake
Superior were the active features Of the
earlier dealings, the former going to a
new high record at 61h. Later offerings
appeared in sufficient quantities to cause
It to return to last nights close. SO, but
there seemed to be still considerable de-
mand for the stock, some 1900 shares
being taken. Lake Superior crossed 8.
about 200 shares changing hands.
Electric Storage Battery was also an
active spot, but registered compare
lively narrow changes in quotation, while
Pennsylvania Salt extended yesterdays

scored a similar gain.
In contrast TO the buoyancy of the
mentioned Issues, Cambria Steel developed
a reactionary tendency. slipping back
dollar on light offerings. Some of this
was recovered later but the irregular1ty
OF United States Steel kept the stock
feverish. OF course, the basis OF all this
activity in the industrial group Ia the
war order craze. II is only sulncleht Ior

the traders start the rumor factory work

ports prove to be correct. but not always

fact when the pools are active.
The local bond list also developed brisk
trading today, especially in Pennsyl-

report failed to affect the company's
to any extent, despite the
contrast with recent reports OF other
roads. such as the New York Central,

HEAVY REALIZING
CAUSED REACTION
Liquidation Was Principally in
war Stocks" Which Made
Sharp Gains in Early Session.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The stock market
today was an Irregular affair. Princi-
pal interest was shown in the Industrial
group. or the so-called war stocks and
trading was very active throughout the
short session. Very little attention was
paid TO the standard issues. During the
early morning wide price changes were
made by the war stocks" n number
making gains ranging from one to three
points. and some even going higher!
AT the top point reached by the spe-
cialties, traders and outsiders took profits
freely and a reaction followed, virtually
the whole group falling below the final Of
yesterday, losses in many cases being
quite large. Railway Steel Spring was
one OF the most important in this division,
swinging upward more than points be-

principal cause for the decline, as 1t

from abroad.
