CRAMP AND PHILA.
CO. FEATURES HERE
Many Rumors Current to Ac-
count for Strength in
Former Issue

The stock market in this city today
was the strongest and most active In
many days. following the upward course
taken in New York. due to the better
outlook on the present international sltu-
alton created as the result Of the sink
ing OF the Arabic. Price movements were
all on the side OF advances, and ranged
from small fractions to as much as 6
points. United States steel was the
most active issue. but did not score the
largest gain, this honor being held by
Cramp Shipbuildng shares.
As far as strength was concerned,
Cramp shares overshadowed everything
overnight gain OF ga, the stock quickly
rose in the first hour TO 50, up 6 points
from the final Of yesterday and estab-
fishing a new high record. Profit taking
cut down some OF the advance, but not
to any great extent
At todays top the stock was up 10
pointr In two-days' trading Buying was
ana Standard Oil interests were mem
toned as the principal takers, The
turnover Of the stocks i'm the first two
hours was more than 2300 shares.
The reason given for the advance in the
Cramp shares was the outlook for the
company. IL was estimated that the earn
ings for the present fiscal year will be
HIOuNu " per cent. ana reports nAd II
that the forcc of workmen at the wards
will shortly be increased to 1900, against
2500 that were employed before the Euro
pean conflict began. IL was pointed out
that the company figures largely i'm any
expansion of our navy, and one report
had IL that officials of the company have
already conferred with Government off,
ciais and that an agreement has been
reached. The company is understood tc
have gone so far as to buy steel and other
materials for the work.
There were many rumors afloat later in
the day to account for the advance in
Cramps one was to the effect that
Baldwin Locomotive interests were
buyers Another was that buying was
for control. This later rumor can bI
easily thrust aside inasmuch as the ma.
jority OF the stock is deposited under q
2O-year voting trust, and this does not
expire until 1923. Control, therefore, CoulC
not pass without the consent of the trus
tcos.
There was very little slackening off
in trading i'm the afternoon session. While
Cramp shares fell off two points from the
| high, Philadelphia Company gathered
|, another whole point. OF the distinctly
| local issues, Cramp was the most active
| over 3l0O shares changing hands by
| o'clock United Gas Improvement moved
! up one point, while Baldwin gained nearly
| two points. The rise i'm Philadelphia Com
| pany was due, of course, to the goot
/ July earnings statement issued yesterday
| While realizing carried some prices of
| at the close, especially United State!
| Steel, Cramp and Baldwin, the majority
| OF the list held strong.

ENGLISH FnNANCIERS
SEE GERMANY'S RUIN
London Believes Report That
Peace Is Necessary to Avoid
Bankruptcy
BY FRANCIS w. HIRST
Editor OF The Economist



LONDON, Aug. 25-The telegram from
Amsterdam describing the German Chan
cellor's private conference and Atatement
concerning the necessity Of making peace
proposals 10 avoid financial ruin attracts
much attention here, as the report from
the Dutch TELEGRAPH Is rather friendly to
Germany and may have been inspired
with tho purpose Of sounding here and
elsewhere. OF course, city and CONNER
cial interests here do not desire Ger
many's financial bankruptcy. unless that
is the only means Of safeguarding Bel
gium and France.
The steadiness of German exchanges
during recent months may be explained
by the British blockade restricting her
imports to minimum, but there Is no
getting over the fact that II the war
stopped now the German imperial ex-
chequer would have to find about $780,
900 for interest on the new war loan,
besides much larger annual sum for
permanently disabled soldiers, widows
and orphans. How this can be provided
out of necessarily shrunken trade and
revenue and how the army after demobi-
lization can be employed are problems
not confined to Germany. which every
extra months warfare aggravotes.
The Amsterdam statement is perhaps
an invention, but every competent au-
thority knows that the views attributed
W A1OnNeb hTt cOTIeCl anu NlidA OHi9
early peace can save Germany's credit
Undoubtedly an important internal bat
tie is raging in high German quarters
between those who would continue the
war. in the hope of territorial spoils or
indemnties. and those who would nego-
| tiate for peace without delay.
Many here believe that Balkan develop
| ments promise the Allies a favorable out
come before long in that quarter, and
that Turkey will sue for peace.
| American exchange negotiations con-
tinue. The economic situation here re-
quires careful handling, as the working
/ classes evidently have been made sus-
! picious by the Northcliffe press campaign
| for consCription. The Cabinet viii prob
ably await events, as the Trade Union
Congress will certainly discuss the SUBJ
| iect. The problem connected with ex-
| change has difficulties, the army in
| crease must reduce Great Britain's ex-
| portable surplus. Personally. l think the
volunteer system will survive. for II fits
the genius OF a people whose military
ardor and patriotic devotion could only
be dampened by compulsion.
