The Luxury Stocks.

In such market as yesterday it is not
easy to pick out any particular issues
for special comment. but the rapid ad-
vances In the tobacco stocks could not
DE ignored. American Sumatra, whose
erratic fluctuations the previous day at
tracted so much attention, bounded up
ward almost ten points from the low.
indicating that the decline might have
been due to sharp bear attacks An
other of the tobacco group which stood
out was Tobacco Products. which sold
up to 66%. compared with a low Of
62h the previous day. Cigar Stores
naturally felt the effect of such wide
movements and touched 1918, against
a low figure of 97h Wednesday. This
concerted forward movement in the to-
baccos, known as luxury stocks, shows
that traders are being guided more by
the war news than by taxation prob
lens or other developments OF a local
or domestic nature.

Potential Buying Power.

As the bankers had underestimate
the investment buying power In the
Bethlehem Steel note issue incident
many brokers were unprepared for the
heavy demand for stocks which broke
out in yesterdays market. In the case
Of the Bethlehem Steel financing the
underwriting syndicate did not believe
1t possible TO market more than so per
cent. Of the total $50.o00,000 of notes
and fully expected to have to call upon
the War Finance Corporation for the
balance. AS 1t turned out the issue was
oversubscribed before the last of the
advertisements appeared in the news
papers and from the ease with which
they were taken double the amount
could have been sold. This latent buy
ing power made itself felt again in the
stock market, aroused of course by the
new successes of the American troops.
This phase of yesterdays trading was
most interesting and suggestive of what
would occur on any major victories by
American soldiers

Peace stocks.

In the excitement of the war news the
street appeared to lose sight of what
have been termed peace" stocks. though
this class shared In the general upturn.
Issues like American Hide and Leather.
Central Leather and other specialties
which would benefit by the wars end
were only side features compared to the
activity OF others. Even the shipping
shares. which certainly would welcome
the abandonpent of present war restric-
lions. were only in moderate demand,
while a score OF others in a SIMILAR posi-
ton were practically neglected. In in
stances like Corn Products. Distillers
and the automobile stocks, all Of which
possess peace possibilities. there was
show Of strength, but here pending
events affecting individual issue was
partly responsible. The answer would
appear to be that until more concrete
evidences of Germany's defeat come to
hand this class Of stocks will not begin
to discount post war prosperity.

An Unusual Incide mt.

Buying of Union Pacific for cash in
the early trading created some excite
ment in speculative circles until It was
learned that stock was being taken by
a firm for the account OF one of their
customers who was about to leave town
for a vacation. Inquiry at this house
revealed that the man who bought the
stock desired 1t at once and he took this
unusual method OF acquiring 1t. At first
appearances the activity and upbidding
which accompanied the buying for cash
looked as II something important had
suddenly developed in the stock but after
this mans orders were filled Union be-
came quiet and lifeless again, although
1t held It's gain. About 1000 shares was
bought for cash by this individual.

Naturally the first to reflect the OPP
timistic war reports were the steel
stocks and those equipment issues which
have benefited most from inflated war
profits, despite the enormous taxes. In

assumed leadership and carried forward
others In it's class to new high prices.
Steel common closed at its high Of the
day and showed a 3b points gain, while

and other minor steels kept pace with the
leaders rapid progress. In the equip
ments Steel Foundries scored the largest
advance, with Baldwin, Railway Steel
Spring, American Car and Foundry and
American Locomotive not far behind.
The reason given for the substantial i'm
provement In these issues was that
traders and investors sought the stocks
with still uncovered asset values to cell
citrate the gratifying war news of the
day. The buying which started In pro-
fessional speculative quarters broadened
as the day advanced and the wider par

4 Victory Bfarkets

The distinct response to the agsres-
sIve military action of the American
armies in yesterdays enthusiastic stock
market fulfilled predictions OF bankers
and leading brokers' that at the first
definite signs Of Germany's defeat Sc
curities would begin to discount victory.
This view was strongly reiterated again
yesterday, and though the advance of
stock prices was at all times orderly
each fresh war cable found quick refiec-
ton in the financial markets. That no
wild movements occurred was due to the
tempered buying by the important bank
ing interests, who. while elated at the in
spring success Of American soldiers on
the Western front, did not permit their
enthusiasm to outrun their judgment.
But their operations were unmistakable
az realizing sales at all stages of the
session were easily absorbed and the
shorts paid dearly for their folly in
gambling on temporary German gains

Liberty Bond Appeal

The four-minute address that Rev.
Don Frank Fem. rector OF Christ
Episcopal church. was to have deliv-
cred on the Fourth Liberty Bond cam
paign at the Jones Theater this eve
ming for the National Council of De
tense. follows:
There are two kinds of bonds: one
OF which Is inevitable IN this world
war. and we. the American people.
have our choice as to which We will
take. They both bear interest In kind
and dividepds. also come in an imma-
terial sense. as well as material. The
one are the bonds which the German
government would put upon the whole
world. and the other are the bonds
which the American government
would have it's people buy. We must
either take the one or the other. We
pay money Off the Fourth Liberty Loan
bonds and we pay blood and shame
and disgrace for the others.
belgium and Northern France and
Russia and Rumanis have paid their
toll for the bonds that bind. They
are shackied with the bonds mat the
imperial German government has
bound upon them and they are still
paying for them. They are receivins
their interest in mutilsted children. In
outraged womanhood. in men bound
out to slavery. making the instruments
OF war which will destroy their broth
ers. And the immaterial interest is
being paid each day and hour in shame
and disgrace and horrible suffering.
That is the German bond with which
they would bind the whole world. our
selves included. And they will do IL
unless we are willing voluntarily to
sacrifice much that is unnecessary To
our life and also much tina, is neces-
sary.
But the Fourth Liberty Loan bonds
are those for which we pay nothing
but money. little voluntary inconven-
icnce. little scheming how TO pay
our bills. how to do without this or
that thing. And IL pays in kind. for
we receive as regularly as the half
year comes around. Az per cent in
terest In cash. In the end. we receive
back our money. which will give to us
little luxuries such as we have given
up. will give us conveniences which
we had TO do without In order to buy
the bonds. But the greatest interest
that II pays is that we are free from
the ravarcs of war. that our women
and children are safe from the perse
cution of the Hun, that We viii obtain
peace permanent peace and freedom
from the fear OF such a government as
the one which is seeking TO bind us
in the bonds of slavery. and that we
are about to overthrow.
(which shall II be: The bonds OF
America or the bonds OF Germany,

scribe 70 this loan, jnsu as surely Will

the first one of our squadron to fly.
I'VE tested our engine and plane
and climbed in, and had to taxy for
an opening In the planes and to head
into the wind. We had speaking
tube so we could talk. Then we
started. gaining speed as we went.
AS the fields are rough and grown
over with weeds II was bumpy. We
gained speed. the bumps stopped, then
we hit one big one and were on. We
raised to about 500 feet and headed on
to our flying field. We dived, climbed,
turned. banked, etc. all the time ex-
planning the controls. Then he said,
You do it, He released all controls
and had me dive. climb. turn bank.

wing and head down. and say. Now

fun was to try to fly level. would
just get II level when we would hit
a pocket or a bump. maybe only with
one wing, and l would have 1t all 10
do over again. Then he took II and
pointed the nose at house below 1t
jumped up to meet us Suddenly he
turned the nose to the left and
dropped that wing till we tilted side
wise at As degrees This headed US
into the wind Then he leveled the
wings and just as we were about 10
or Is feet from the ground. fiattened
out As the power was on during
the glide we just settled First n

the ground. A very neat landing
Then we were of again. and the same
thing over. this time landing back

was certainly great, and I was not

took These planes are slow. only
SO miles an hour. but we can do almost
any stunt: dive. loop the loop upside
down. immelman roll. tail spin. etc.

without stopping the other day. We
do not get stunt flying for Eve or six
