j. S. STEEL THE LEADER
Latter Ascends to High Level of So
With 200, 900 Shares in Two
Hour Session.
Other Securities, Notably Those in
Dividend Glass, Are Prominent
In the Rise.

NEW YORK, April 10-The course o1
today's feverishly active stock market
seems to indicate that the appetite OF
the speculative public had been salts
fed for a time. Gains Of l to 3 points
were registered at the outset, U. 8
Steel retaining its leadership by as
cending to the high level of SIS on
transactions which approached 100000
shares for the two-hour session.
Other stocks. especially those in the
dividend class. ware prominent in the
rise. which .l1e4:ned widest proportions
in the first nalf hour. Thereafter SELL
ing for profits. in which Europe was no
small factor. served as a brake on bull
ish enthusiasm and reaction was more
or less general.
Toward the close prices were again
advanced, but in no instance did they
recover to their best The closing was
strongs.
Bonds were strong.
Gains for All Important Issues.
The buoyancy which marked yester-
days trading on the stock exchange
continued with unabated vigor at the
opening of today's business. Substan-
tial gains were recorded in all impor-
tant issues
United States Steel was again the
prominent feature. opening with one
block Of $4,000 shares at 57a to 57N,
against yesterdays close of 81.
Advances Of 1 to 3 points were made
by transcontinentals. Atchison. Lehigh
Valley, Reading, Canadian Pacific New
York Central. Amalgamated Copper.
American Smelling and various spe-
cialties.
Bethlehem Steel was the only marked
exception to the general trend, declin-
ing points.
Much Of the further advance was at
tributed to urgent covering of short
contracts.
Greatest Activity in Over Year.
Bullish enthusiasm attained new
heights in the stock market this week,
activity in over a year. Prices showed
gains over last Saturday Of 5 to 10
points in some Of the leading issues
and vastly more In number of spe-
cia1ties.
Apart from the rise in Bethlehem
Steel Thursday to III. and its subse-
by further erratic movements, the fea-
ture of the week was yesterdays
movement in United States Steel. which
advanced Y points to 81 on the largest
volume of trading recorded in that par
ticular issue since the days of Its In
PRODUCTION to the stock market.
Many Shares Join in Movement.
Other leading shares. such as Union
Pacific, Reading and Amalgamated. to-
gether with two-score less prominent
issues. Joined in the movement, which
assumed giant proportions as the ses'
sion came to an end.
The financial district was at a loss
to account for this fresh accession OF
public interest, even though largely
speculative, on any ground other thar
that of actual betterment in all
branches of the country's trade. This
feeling was borne out by the state
ments issued by the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington. Rumors of ap-
preaching peace negotiations were
again current. although lacking confir-
nation in high quarters.

DIR. w. NJ. SOUBOTITCH,
Head of the Serbian Red Cross.

Maj. Gen. W. C. Gorgas. surgeon gem
eral of the army, who won worldwide
fame by cleaning up the pestilential
area of the Panama canal and institut-
ing sanitary methods there. may be
placed in charge of the American eff
forts to fight the typhus and cholera
plague in Serbia that threatens to
sweep over all Europe
Gen. Gorgas has received an informal
proposal from officials of the Rookie
feller Foundation, under whose patron
age the American Red Cross has sent a
sanitary commission to Serbia, that he
take charge of the plague situation.
In the event of acceptance of the
proposition which shortly will be made
in writing to him, Gen. Gorgas would
be obliged to resign his commission In
the army. He has not yet decided
what course he will pursue.
An Appeal for Help.
A pathetic cablegram reporting the
greatest menace of the Serbian plague
in ractically wiping out the pitifully
small force of Red Cross surgeons. who
heroically sacrifice their own lives in
desperate effort to check the spread of
the pest, was received today at the
American Red Cross headquarters.
DR.. Soubotitch, head of the Serbian
Red Cross, in cabling condolences on
the death of DR.. Ernest p. Magruder,
Thursday. from typhus fever, states
that the Serbian Red Cross has lost 105
doctors. His message follows:
More Than Hundred Physicians Die.
"our deepest condolences on the
death of DR.. Magruder at Belgrade. We
ourselves have lost 105 doctors.
"SOUBOTITCH."
The American Red Cross has shipped
all sorts OF cleanup material and sup
plies into Serbia for use by the Ameri-
can commission which Is now en- route
to take charge of the situation. DR..
Strong, the chairman of the commits
sion. with his disbursing officer. Charles
Eby of Washington. is already on the
ground and has at his disposal more
than $4,000 worth of disinfectants,
anti-cholera treatments, etc.
Reports to the American Red Cross
headquarters here show that the work
to be done is herculean. and that it will
take millions of dollars to prevent the
cholera epidemic from spreading all over
Europe
