$4,000 FOR SEAT AS
SECURITIES SOAR
New High Records Made and
More Than One Million
Issues Are Traded.

NEW YORK, April 16.-liighcr bids
yesterday for stock exchange seats ac-
companied tremendous activity through
oui long list of prominent issues.
There was. however, nothing wild In
the speculation and nothing spec
tacular In the course of prices,
which, In the greater number of stocks,
moved in an orderly fashion toward bet
ter levels in the best part of the day on
buying that represented an enormous
outside interest in the market.
Dealings In all stocks were in excess
of 100000 shares. the second heaviest
full days business this year. United
States Steel led In point of activity,
with InterboroughM metropolitan com
mon following. Strength in the latter
was accompanied by reports the pre-
ferred stock would be placed on a q per
cent dividend basis, and that the COM
mon would be advanced to the dividend
column.
Demand Country Wide.
Commission houses reported de-
mand from all parts of the country. es-
pecially from the Middle West, where
fortunes have been made In wheat. Big
Chicago. st. Louis, and Kansas city
operators. who made heavy profits in
declaration of war abroad, were active
buyers of industrial and railroad shares,
their purchases Of United States Steel
beirg particularly pronounced.
New high records for the year were
made by many issues. but at the quo
tations reported in the early afternoon.
heavy realizing sales developed. with
out bringing about declines in proper
ton to the volume of offerings
The markets power OF absorption was
extra rdinary. Brokers with the longest
experience in the Street were unable to
find in their records anything approach
ing the persistency of the demand in
the lace OF the scramble on the part
Of traders to convert paper profits into
cash.
Bethlehem Inactive.
Bethlehem Steel passed into the list
of inactivities. There was nothing in
the trading In 1t that attracted atten-
ton. apart from the sudden lack OF in
tcrest In a stock which for many days
had been a star performer in one OF
the most remarkable spcculations of
modern times. If not in the history Of
the Stock Exchange.
Definite evidence that Wall Street be-
lieves the expansion in speculative and
Investment business in the stock ma arket
mas come to stay for an extended period
was reflected In renewed active bidding
memberships at the best price of the
year a. $4,000 the highest since 1912. and
an advance OF $4,000 from the last pre-
ceding sale on Monday.
Early in the current year a seat was
sold for s3S. 900. against the low record
OF $4,000. made soon after the beginning
of the European war. when holders OF
Stock Exchange memberships In many
instances, were anxious to let their seats
go at almost any price in fear they
would become burden on their hands
The highest price ever paid for seat
| was $4,000 in 1905 and 1906 and the low.
est $3.50, the latter being reported in
1S6S.
