< WITH A FURTHER OUTBURsT OF sTRENG'
INDUSTRIAL ISSUES
SCORED SHARP GAINS
Cramp, Baldwin, Lake Superior
and the Asphalt Stocks in
Strong Demand.

The Philadelphia market ended the
week with an outburst OF buoyancy. The
volume of trading during the brief two
hours 1t remained open for business to-
day was greater than had been shown
at any time during the past few sessions,
The chief leaders in the upward jump
were Cramp shipbuilding shares, United
States Steel and Baldwin Locomotive, the
two local issues continuing to climb into
new high territory for the present swing.
Lake Superior. too, came to life and
moved up a substantial fraction, while
United States Steel followed It's upward
course in Wall street. The strength of
all these Industrial issues as usual found
its origin In the huge war orders COM
ing to hand The first hour gains were
not maintained to the close in some in
stances, Baldwins having risen from 40
to 81, closed unchanged
The General Asphalt group also became
buoyant, both the common and preferred
advancing more than a point each. The
greatly improved outlook in trade, es-
pecially in the steel business, has restored
to certain extent a feeling of optimism
financial circles despite the Lusltania
complication. Taking steel mill operations

machinery, etc, to be exported, and about
5 per cent. went to railroads, leaving
domestic business outside the railroads.
at about So per cent. of the total. Ex-
ports promise to take l5 per cent. or
more in future, and a little more railroad
buying would give Is per cent. for the
railroads. II the other domestic demand
engaged 60 per cent. instead of 55 per
cent, the steel industry would find en-
ployment for 30 per cent. of its capacity.
In fact, some men in the steel trade are
confidently predicting that by August
the mills will be operating at as heavy a
rate as labor conditions permit.
In contrast to this the anthracite trade
is slack and a drastic. program of curtail-
ment is being put into operation by the
leading hard coal companies. The Lehigh
| Valley Coal Company, taking the lead
has suspended operations for an indeh-
mite period and the small dealers are ap-
parently stocked UP to the full limit of
| their storage capacity.

Illinois Crop Damaged by
Snowfall--Lighter Arrivals

CHICAGO, May 22-The grain markets
moved erratically today. There has been
pronounced waiting attitude on the part
of England, in view OF expected large
American crop, but recent developments

A recent snowfall In Illinois has
caused considerable damage 70 the wheat
crop of that State. The report of wheat

has effected an apprecable buying OF
wheat.
The acreage to wheat in four counties
of Illinois is reported a total failure
Minneapolis stocks of wheat decreased
100000 bushels for one day. against $4,000
bushels of last year.
Buenos Aires reports lighter arrivals
for shipment as holders are firm. Most
Of the reserves have been shipped or ar

from America have caused pronounced
flrmness there.
