New York. May 2.-Trading in Wall
Street today proceeded with the same
violence that characterized 1t last De-
cember. but with this important diner-
ence, that the public II really present
was not IN the street in person and pro-
fesslonals alone occupied the Offices and
they seemed only mildly interested. But
In spite Of that stocks advanced under
the impetus Of tremendous buying orders.
United States Steel made a high record
again this time at 13+ which represents
an advance of more than two points over
yesterdays close. Anaconda, Atlantic
Gulf and West Indies, Marine preferred.
Utah. Smelters, Mexican Petroleum and
Texas Oh were among other active and
strong issues.
That liquidation is not ended in the
issues that were formerly called gilt
edged was proved by extreme weakness
Of some Of them in the face OF the ad-
vancing steel and copper stocks.
Lloyd George was largely responsible
for the rise in general market because
Of his statement that the U-boats are
being mastered The marines were all
strong
Investigat on among companies manu-
featuring articles needed in war prepara-
tlOn discloses the fact that very large
orders have already been placed at such
prices as viii yield liberal profits. There
IL abundant reason for believing that a
genuine boom in business Is at hand.
The Lloyd George statement naturally
put cotton up because the demand for
cotton in Europe Is such that the com
modify might wen go to 30 cents a pound

When the statement of earnings of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for April
is issued II will reveal gross revenues in
excess of $4,000, O0O This Is the first
month of 1911 that the company's earn
ings have reached such a high figure the
last Sl0.OoO.OOO month being October, 1915,
Previous to that, revenues totaIled this
amount in several months, including July,
August and September of the same year.
The April showing of the Baltimore
and Ohio from a gross earning standpoint
is especially gratifying, in view of the
fact that II was short month.
While gross business was heavy, the
net earning record might be another
story. Operating expenses were high,
due to increased cost of labor and ma
terial-a problem which the Baltimore
and Ohio and other roads have faced for
months-and it is not unlikely that these
increased expenses will greatly affect the
net income OF the property.
The April statement will be submitted
to the directors at their meeting to be
held in New York Wednesday Of next
week, and will be released for publlca-
tion the following day.

penditure of around $4,000 to S12.-

Tuberculosis.
"The LEGISLATURE of 1915 increased
the appropriation to provide in a
larger degree for the care of the IN
digent tuberculosis persons. This in
crease in the appropriation was much
needed, for, during the biennial term
90 persons have been designated for
treatment-90 to the Vernon Sana-
! forum at Pittsfield, VT, to the
| Hampshire County Hospital at Hay
denville, Mass, and one to the Hunt
ress Sanatorum at Rutland, Mass, at
! the total expense Of $14,446.36. All
! Of the incipient cases have been desig-
mated to the Vermont Sanatorium.
The care of the chronic cases is a
very serious problem, and just how
far the state should go for the proper
care Of the INDECENT persons of this
class is a problem which should be
carefully considered and some definite
plan adopted.
