BULLS STILL AT WORK
NLOCAL SECURITIES
Sharp Advances in United Gas,
Baldwin, Cramp and Storage
Battery.

Upbiddns Of individual issues whlch'
has been so prevalent Of late on the
local exchange, today spread 10 United
Gas Improvement and Electric Storage
Battery shares. The response came
promptly IN the shape OF a jump from
S9h, last nights final figure to above
% In United Gas, while Storage was
rushed up points. The same house
which has been prominent In the lifting
of Cramp shipbuildng. Baldwin and Gem
ernl Asphalt took the initiative in this
instance. There was even an attempt
made to include the two companies in the
now familiar war order group. but the
street was sleptioal Of such rather far
fetched theories preferrlng TO base any
reason for rise on the companies pros
perity and the fact that the stocks have
so far failed TO follow the general up-
ward movement of securities. Neverthe-
less. it was learned that United Gas Inn
provement had closed a valuable con-
tract with the Du Points to supply one Of
its products. officials stated however,
that there was nothing novel in this con-
tract, as the company had often made
similar arrangements with the Du Points.
Cramp Shipbuilding once more made a
new top, rising nearly two points, while
Baldwins, Lake Superior and the Asphalts
all displayed firmness during the morning.
and II reacted a trihe. The principal
seller was a house usually credited with
being close to the MANAGEMENT of the
company. 1t was altogether broad and
active session on the Philadelphia Ex-
change United States Steel opened with
a burst of buoy0ncy, but subsequently
reacted, as did Pennsylvania. Cambria
Steel ruled firm throughout most Of the
session.
Lake Superior moved across 12 in tho
afternoon, gaining about point on the
purchase OF more than 6OO0 shares. Le-
high Navigation also became buoyant,
rising over two points.
One reason for the show OF strength in
the industrials was the belief expressed In
some usually well-informed quarters that
the Government will not appeal from the
decision of the District Court. which sus-
tained the United States Steel Corpora
tion on all points of the antitrust case.
The big subcontract for traction locomo-
tives for Russia, obtained by Baldwin's
was the stimulating factor In that par
ticular issue. In the afternoon the stock
was taken IN hand and the initial advance
was extended over points to new high
record
The traction stocks were not affected by
the meeting of the Councllmnnic Commit
tee this afternoon. at which ordinances
were drafted to regulate jitneys. A Ii

LONDON STOCK MARKET
Trading Not Brisk in American
Issues.

LONDON. June l7.-TradinE in Amerl-
cans was not brisk today, but the feel
ing with regards to the group was cheer
full. Prices worked higher following the
Improvement at New York. Canadian
Issues were firm. The war loan was ac-
tive and easier because OF increased dis
cussion OF the flotation of a new loan.
A call of R725.OOO OF the new South Wales
issue was made today
The settlement OF the coal labor dis
pute in South Wales was responsible for
the steadier tone in home rails. Mexican
railways were heavy on the half-yearly
report, which indicated continued chaos
In Mexico. Hudson Bays were weak on
the postponement OF the dividend. The
reason assigned for the action was that
the war has delayed the making up OF
accounts. Russians and Greek descrip-
tlons displayed hrmness, but Brazlians
were dull. Kaffirs were Influenced favor
ably by the half-yeaTly dividends, and
oil shares and rubbers were spotty.
other sections were quiet and steady.
