STOCKS CLOSE STRONG,
|NDUSTR|ALS LEADING
Standard Railways Do Not Figure
Much in the Short Days
Trading.
Obscure Specialties Share in the Rise,
the Steel Issues Making
Notable Progress.

NEW YORK. May 22.-The stock
market gave one of its recent exhibi.
tions of strength at the outset Of to.
days short session, shares of the vari-
Gus companies now engaged in filling
war contracts leading the rise with
to 3 point gains, which were suose-
quently increased, notably by Bethle-
hem Steel and Crucible Steel
United States Steel and tho metal
shares also were strong. but standard
railway issues made less upward prog
ress.
The advance embraced numerous OBJ
scure Industrial specialties.
First Half Hour Trading Best.
The greater part Of the trading oc-
CURED in the first half hour, after
which dealings fell away appreciably,
with some recessions from best prices
The closing was strong.
Bonds were steady.
Indications of a renewal of bullish
enthusiasm were manifested in today's
early stock market, the entire list. ex-
cept q few unimportant issues, making
substantial advances.
War shares were again prominent,
Bethlehem Steel scoring an initial gain
of points in response to overnight
reports that the company had been
awarded additional large contracts.
Gains Increased Soon.
crucible Steel, Lackawanna Steel,
IN to IN points. these gains in many
instances being soon increased.
Investment issues like Union Pacific
iY1c In
of a point or more. United States Steel
began with 5000 shares at maximum
gain of a point and coppers shared in
the move to a like extent.
Increased Caution In All Quarters.
The foreign situation continued to DOM
mate financial affairs this week, in
creased caution being manifested in all
quarters.
Trading in stocks fell to an average
daily output OF 100000 to 35o,oo0 shares
instead of the million-share sessions Of
previous weeks.
In the main prices held steady. but
war specialties absorbed the bulk OF
speculative attention.
There was occasional evidence OF
further foreign liquidation. and the very
delicate state OF Europe's finances was
reflected in new low rates for exchange
to all leading European centers
Bankers Concerned Over Phase.
Demand sterling on London declined to
the lowest rate since 1873. and francs
and lires also made low records. This
condition was not ameliorated In any
especial degree by additional gold i'm
ports from Canada. France and Japan.
Bankers were plainly concerned over this
latest phase of the situation.
Domestic developments were mostly IA
vorable, although reports of damage to
winter wheat affected prices of grains.
All trustworthy accounts agree that
many mercantile lines Of trade show
steady Improvement, but disappointment
is expressed at the continued lack Of de-
mand for railroad equipment.
Leading railroads are reporting marked
gains over recent months. but the finan-
cial difficulties of such properties as
Missouri Pacific, Rock Island, Chesa-
peake and Ohio and other roads in the
same class have given rise to renewed
apprehension.
