MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. May 12.-Securities of all
classes displayed marked stability during
the greater part of today moderately
active session, but fell away in the final
hour to the accompaniment Of uncon-
firrned rumors Of a disquieting character.
Early gains of one to two points in
standard shares, and as much as three
to six in the specialties melted away, the
decline being accentuated by a renewal
Of bearish operations.
The international situation was the one
governing factor throughout, the list
giving its first manifestation of strength
on announcement that Washington had
formulated a definite policy respecting
the sinking of the Lusitania. The trad
ing element evidently chose to interpret
this favorably and proceeded to buy,
concentrating its efforts mainly about
United States Steel. The movement in
this stock derived additional impetus
from reports that the steel corporation
had received large orders for unfinished
material from companies now filing war
contracts.
War specialties were prominent at in
termittent periods, Bethlehem Steel
Westinghouse Electric and allied shares
being freely absorbed at more or less
steady advances. Railroad issues of the
investment class were bought, the rise
in grangers and Pacifics being based
upon excellent crop prospects. Coppers
also were conspicuous, the entire group
moving upward on a revival of domestic
demand for the refined metal. Total sale
of stocks amounted to $4,000 shares.
Routine news embraced the receipts of
$4,000 gold from France, engaged a
week ago, by an international banking
house having close relations with the
Bank of France. Trade authorities issued
conflicting reports as to the state of the
steel and iron industry and exchange on
and Tires were lower.
Investment conditions abroad as re-
ported by the London market denoted
hesitation by British investors. That
part of the new Argentine loan offered
by London bankers was closed with ev-
ident success, while an East Indian loan
for a nominal amount seemed to find
little inquiry.
Many future sales indicating recur-
renee of foreign selling were recorded in
the local bond market. which was-frm
in the main. A feature was the weak
ness of Argentine SIS, which declined 10
points. Total sales, par value. aggre-
gated $4,000. United States bonds were

WILSON CAMPAIGN STARTED
SUPPORTERS TO INSIST ON re.
NOMINATION..
Democratic National Committee Meets
In Washington to Issue Call fes
the Convention.

Washington, Dec. THE campaign
for the reelection Of Woodrow Wilson
opened here today. The occasion was
the meeting Of the Democratic ma
tional committee. Gathered osten-
sibly to Issue the call for the national
convention and to select the conven-
ton city and the date, the original
Wilson members OF the committee
took occasion to make 1t emphatically
plain that, in their opinion, there must
be no opposition to the denomination
of the present occupant OF the White
House.
But It was not alone the Wilson
men who took this view The men
who four years ago were moving
heaven and earth In the effort to
ciinch the nomination of Speaker
Clark, today were squareIy lined up
behind the president. And even the
committee members who look to VIII
liam Jennings Bryan for their inspi.
ration admitted that only some unex.
pected catastrophe could prevent the
naming OF the president as the stand
aia b1ua I'd vi Dth0Sidis UHEe again.
Az the party In power, the Democ.
racy viii lead the way In next years
campaign. An early convention Is
necessary, according to Chairman
William r. McCombs, "in order that
the party shall remain ON the Of
fensiye and not be forced to take the
defensive" McCombs will retain his
present position as chairman until
after the next convention and will
have the honor of calling the conven-
ton to order. The proposed fight
to sidetrack him has been shelved by
the direct command OF the president
himself.
The struggle for the honor Of en-
PERTAINING the convention was kept
up right to the very minute that the
doors closed on the meeting. st
Louis. first city to be In the field. was
represented by strong committee
armed with certified check and a
promise to pay all expenses. Similar
committees and promises we're on
hand from Chicago. San Francisco
and Dallas, and the usual minority
members who favored a convention In
New York were sounding the praises
OF the metropolis.
