7ANCE-CRAMP ACTIVE in PHILADELPHIA
CRAMP SHIPBUTLDING
SHARES SHOW ACTIVITY
Early Rise in Industrial Stocks
Produces Profit 7 ak n g Z.
Bond Dealers Complain.

Industrial stocks continued to dominate
| the trading on the Philadelphia stock
| Exchange at the resumption of business
today. Cramp Shipbuildlng shares scored
another sharp gain, advancing from &c.,
last weeks final figure, to 80 on the
opening transaction Profit taking then
cancelled most of the initial gain. Bald
win Locomotive, Cambria Steel, Lake
Superior and United States Steel all
moved higher for timo, but reacted
around midday when the New York list
turned heavy.
For time there was quite little ac-
tivity, but this was at the expense of
values. Later, after the early fuctua-
tions, the market fell back into a semi
Inert state, refusing to be aroused from
its lethargy. The street" regarded the
relapse into dulness on the decline as
favorable sign.
with regard to the recent strength of
Cramps shares, the suggestion was made
that the companys big plant could read
lily be used for the manufacture of war
material other than ships just as has
been done with number OF large manu-
featuring establishments.
Bond dealers were complaining today
that the resumption of bullish activity in
stocks had put check on their business.
MY customers come to me with money
to invest" remarked a leading broker,
"and when suggest to them various high
grade investment bonds theN become ltn-
patient and say they wish to get aboard
some good stock that has n chance to
rise" This he went on to state was not
only cutting into the bond business but
might also prove n source of danger to
the stock Market later on in the case of
adverse developments which might tend
to cause this somewhat easily frightened
class of investors to wish to liqudate.
Meantime. money remains readily obtain
able although conservative bankers are
not encouraging its speculative Use in tho
stock markets at this time.
AS had boen known previously the Fan
Handle pamphlet report for the year
ended December 81 made an exceedingly
poor showing. After paying 4 per cent.
on the preferred stock the company only
showed .076i per cent earned on the COM
mon. .O75 per cent Of which was paid out.
President lIea Incidentally took occasion
TO remark that the depression which pre-
vailed throughout the fiscal period had
Eot changed and that conditions which
make for poor earnings still exist, there
icing heavily increased taxes and tre
burdens fixed by the State and Federal
governmental requirements.

BUSINESS DEPRESSION HIT
PANHANDLE EARNINGS
President Rea Says 1t Was More Re-
sponsible Than War.

President Samuel Rea, of the Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis
Railway (the Panhandle), in his annual
report to the stockholders, made public
today i'm pamphlet form, declares that
poor business rather than the European
war was the chief cause for the poor
earnings of the company In the last fiscal
year ending December 81 1914. He goes
on 10 say that the underlying causes or
the unsatisfactory railroad situation un-
fortunately continue TO operate as they
did before the war"
Among the reasons advanced by Mr.,
Rea for the unsatisfactory showing were
the suspension OF operations FOR a long
period by several soft coal helds In
Ohio, brought about by mining leslsia-
tton In that State, which caused diff
ferences regarding new wage scales.
THESE remain unsettled In one district,
known as No s. THE iron and steel
Industries were very much depressed and
consequently the traffic offerings from
these sources, which furnish three-fourths
Of the freight tonnage, were mueh pc

expenses were burdened with the eneets
of arbitration awards and wasteful legis-
Iation."

WHEAT WEAKENED,
DESPITE DAMAGE
Heavy Rains in Kansas Are
Said to Have Destroyed
Quantities of Insects.

CHICAGO. May A-The wheat market

early trading. July wheat Jared even
worse. opening at 126ss, y cent below
Saturdays closing market, and sold at
still further decline of 126Ss The trad
ing In oats was moderate, while corn
showed a light demand.
In the late dealings wheat prices hard
ened somewhat and the close was dull
and steady.
The havoc created in the wheat belt BY
the fostering fly ia beginning to manifest
itself In the eastern counties of Missouri.
In six counties Of the State, involving
100000 acres, IL appears fully one-third
of the acreage is entirely destroyed, with
less than half the crop on balance. Mis-
souri ordinarily has n yield of 30.0Oo,000
bushels wheat
Minneapolis stocks of wheat decreased
175,O0O bushels for two days against 225,-
0O0 bushels Of last year.
England lie nearing the wheat harvest
ing season and high level of values is
bringing out increased offerings on the
bulges .
The weekly shipment of wheat from
North America amounted to 7,450000
bushels. of which 2,99i,OOO bushels went
out as -four.
Nothing was reported shipped via the
Pacific Coast; Canada exporting 2,032,000
bushels, 1O6O.OOO bushels of corn and
2,S9O.0O0 bushels oats.
Heavy rains In Kansas destroyed mill
lions OF chinch bugs, thus enabling the
wheat to outgrow the weakening effects
of the Hessan fly pupae. Making due
allowance for insect damage, the pres
ent prospect seems to be for a winter
wheat crop around 64o,OO0OO0 bushels.
about 53,000,000 bushels less than last
year and 900 bushels more than the
