FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS ACTIVE
Due 10 Extra Dividends and WhirI- wind WinduP of Liberty Loan Campaign.

New York, June 13.-The market acquired a new lease of life today primarily on the overnight decision ] of the directors of the United States i Steel Corporation to declare another
 extra" dividend of three per cent | on the common stock for the cur | rent quarter.
 | This action, it is believed, virtually insures full dividend returns of IT per cent on the common shares for calendar year. Moreover, it bespeaks the confidence of eminent trade au- | thorities in the future of the steel in dustry.
 Declaration of other increased or extra dividends. the whirlwind wind tip of the Liberty loan campaign with it's rush of small subscribers and the stability of money rates were addi- tiona1 factors of sentimental value.
 United States Steel was absorbed in countless lots of 1000 to 10000 shares. the price rising steadily to 134 3-s, an overnight advance of 33 3-4 points, and closing at 133 7-S. At it's top Steel equalled 13S 5-S, includ- ing recent dividend payments, and exceeded it's previous maximum by a quarter of a point.
 Bethlehem Steel new stock also es- tablished a new maximum at 155 and Industrial Alcohol recorded a similar achievement at I'll 1-2, both issues receding at the end. A majority of
 
 industrials rose to highest prices of the year.
 A general increase of demand was
 manifested in all parts of the railway division, the inquiry ranging from high grade investment issues to many of the low priced or reorganized roads Extreme gains of one to over three points marked the trading in these stocks, but these, too, were part ly forfeited on realizing sales.
 Shippings, oils, motors, utilities and unclassif1ed specialties par ticipated in the rise at gross advances one to four points. The only stock to display heaviness was Delaware and Hudson, which yielded alrnos7 three points on litigation involvins payment of the next dividend. Total sales amounted to 1,245,000 shares.
 Yet another low record for rubles and slight easing of fires were the features of the exchange market
 Bonds were irregular, few impor- tant issues tending downwards To- tai sales (par value) aggregated 3D. 225. .0oO

TRIAL OF $500, ,OOO BASEBALL SUIT
august Hermann, Chairman of the National Baseball Com mission, and Edward Hanon Former Baseball Player and Magnate, Were the Only Two Witnesses Called Yesterday-Counsel for Defense is Endeavoring Show the Suit Was Instituted Means of Obtaining Reimbursement for Bad Business Venture.

Philadelphia, June 13. - Only two witnesses were called today in the l s9o0,000 antitrust suit of the Balti- more Federal League club against or | the American and National Leagues and the National Baseball Commis sion, August Hermann, chairman of the National Commission, occupying the stand the greater part of the day. Edward Hanlon, owner of the site of the Baltimore clubs ball park, was the other witness.
 Pursuing line of examination de- signed to show that organized baseball was engaged in interstate commerce, in the sense of conducting an inter state business, Stuart s. Janney, chief counsel for the complainants, drew Interstate circuit of the eight clubs in each of the major leagues and the fact that visiting teams and their re- spective leagues receive a certain per centage of the gate receipts at the end of each series.
 Further attempts to show q monopo- listic tendency on the part of organ ized baseball were made by MT. Jan ney, through examination of Mir. Herr mann as to the effects of rulings of the National Baseball Commission, co-defendant in the present suit, on players, who once suspended or drop ped from the major leagues through financial or other grievances with their respective clubs, are prevented from playing with other major league clubs until reinstated by the com mission.
 Under c-oss-exa1nination. Edward Hanlon, former baseball player and magnate and owner of the site of the Baltimore clubs bal park, said that ball club usually operates at a. loss the first year of its existence and that profits of the future are specu- latfve to a certain extent. As the Baltimore club played but one year prior to the peace agreement between organized baseball and the Federal League, George Wharton Pepper chief counsel for the defense, seized upon Hanlon's testimony to strengthen the defence's cortention that the present suit was instituted as a means of ob- t4ining reimbursement for bad bus mess venture. The case will be re- stunned tomorrow.
