Steel and MARINES
Lead STOCK MARKET
Issues Strong and Some Buoyant.
Wheat Advances to New High.
CBy the Internatieaal News serv

lmleEmaNtDu4A
New York, April 12.-Stocks today
were under the influence of the forth
coming government bond issue and a
unification Of all the railroad systems.
The tremendous economies possible in
the railroads under this plan have not
begun to be reflected in the stock mar
|, ket. This may well mean much more
than the greatest increase Of freight
rates demanded. The market for all
stocks was strong, and for some 1t was
buoyant.
Steel was the leader of the advancing
column. closely followed by the marines.
Announcement that a food dictator had
been appointed caused wild covering OF
short contracts in the grain market
Wheat advanced to the new high record
Jf 2.19 L.. Corn was up to A.30 Cotton
was strong but not unusually active. Au
OF the commodities were higher. The
price Of steel moved up another notch
to the new record of ss.95 4 ton.
