feat was especially impressive. mas

King Georges expressions in this

route to the war zone. These details
have just reached National head
quarters Of the Red Cross in Wash

which read as follows:

Money and Credit
For the frst tim

For the frst time in the history Of
the New York Stock Exchange there
were two separate markets for call
money yesterday. In one group of
brokers on the floor money was loaned
on call against 50 per cent of indus
trial securities and 50 per cent of rail-
way securities as collateral. In an
other group call money was loaned on
industrial securities alone. The latter
constituted an innovation, as hereto
fore the Stock Exchange money market
has only handled loans based ON mixed
collateral. Loans on industrial col
lateral ruled at per cent Yesterday.
while the mixed collateral call loans
commanded q lower rate at 5M per
cent.
The Chase National Bank offered the
frst money on call against industrial
collateral and later the Corn Exchange
Bank came in. Subsequently the First
National Bank was lender in the new
market. The Association of Stock Ex
change Firms is responsible for the
official distinction that is now being
made between the two kinds of cali
loans. and the object Of the new ar
rangement is to maintain freer sun
ply of call funds. The prospect that
call money will always be available to

Prices Move
Violently in
Broad Market
Heaviest Trading of Year
as Stocks Swing Upward
and Then React

All records Of market activity for
the year were broken at the Stock Ex-
change yesterday, when prices of lead
ing issues advanced violently in a
frenzy of speculative excitement that
eclipsed anything that has been seen
in Wall Street since the great bull
markets Of early in the war. The
turnover at the exchange fell barely
short of the two million share market,
totalling 100000 shares. Prices rose
in fantastic fashion for time early
IN the day, gains Of four to seven
points being of common occurrence
throughout the trading list. Later on
the market was forced to take heavy
profit-taking sales, and prices receded
from the early high records.
The opening Of the market was one
of the most exciting that has been wit
messed in months. A huge volume of
buying orders was thrown into the
exchange for execution, and the
brokers had trouble in carrying them
out for a time. so great was the con-
gestion about the various trading posts
on the exchange floor. United States
Gtecl common stock opened with or
ders for 10000 shares punched at 1925
to 112M, and on the next transaction
of 1900 shares the price went to 113.
This was a new high for the year for
the markets leader, and subsequently,
1T went even higher, touching 113%.
From that price Steel drifted lower,
and finally closed at 111M, where it
showed a net gain Of 1s on the DAVIS
turnover of 100000 shares.
Other striking price movements in
cluded jump from 561a to 81 by Mid
vale Steel and Ordnance stock, fol-
lowed by reaction later in the day
to 81, where it showed a gain of 2A
points: Baldwin Locomotive, the feat
ure of Wednesdays market, displayed
fresh strength, and rose from 95la to
l01"a, closing at 957s for loss OF "a
on dealings of approximately 114,700
shares. AT the height Of the move
ment Bethlehem Steel B sold from
SO a to 90, Republic Steel from 91%
to SO, Lackawanna Steel from $685. to
81 IS, Crucible Steel from 71%I to 747s
and international Mercantile Marine
preferred from 95ls to 98as.
In some quarters pronounced
strength displayed by exchange rates
on Switzerland and Holland and the
Scandinavian countries was attributed
to purchases OF exchange bills by for
elgn interests, who sold securities on
the rise in the market and were trans
mltting the proceeds to the other side
1t was impossible to confirm this in
international banking circles.

Commission Report
Legislation Urged Against
Practice of Bribing
Buyers

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Enactment
Of "a sufficient law striking at the un-
justifiable and vicious practices of
commercial bribery" was urged on Con-
gress to-day by the Federal Trade Com
mission. These bribes, according to
the report of the investigating body,
take the form of commissions for ''al-
legged services, of money and gratuities
and entertainments of various sorts
and of loans-all intended to influence
such employees in the choice of ma
terials."
Each person participating in any
such transaction should be reached by
a criminal statute. in the opinion of
the commission, which recounted that
Investigation has revealed commercial
bribery to be general throughout many
industries. Scores of complaints have
been issued against firms guilty of the
practice, but the commission, having no
criminal jurisdiction, has been unable
to punish the individuals and has had
to deal with commercial bribery only
as an unfair method of competition.

mission. chat the practice appears to

Nevada Earnings
Show Sharp Decline

On production of 17,435,164 pounds
OF copper the Nevada Consolidated
Copper Company, in it's report for the
first quarter Of 1918, issued yesterday,
showed net earnings of s470,SO9,
compared with s3,238,474 for the cor
responding period year ago. The
last quarters surplus, after deprecia-
tlon charges, was $31O,G7O, which,
after deducting $1,999,457 for divi-,
dends, left a deficit of S1,6S9,3S7, con-
trasted with surplus in 1917 of
81, 1,022,459.
The report said that the cost of
producing copper IN the March quarter
amounted to 1904 cents pound, COM
pared with 1913 cents for the preced- l.
ing quarter. Excluding depreciation,
the cost was 14.72 cents, contrasted d
with 11.91 cents for the December
quarter.
"The Increased cost for the March
quarter" said the report, "is due to
smaller production, increased cost of
material and supplies, advance in
wage scale, and also an increase in the
amount estimated for excess profit tax.
Costs for the quarter included S27O,0O
set aside to cover accrued county.

Neutral Exchanges Higher

went to 3.9S francs to the dollar;
Dutch guilders were quoted at 5OA

5.18h, and for Dutch guilders, 4O.5

at a loss to explain the pronounced
strength of these exchanges in any
other way than that American exports
to both Holland and Switzerland have
fallen sharply, thereby greatly reducing
the available supply Of bills. In some
banking quarters it is asserted that

America are down to almost the van

Hemisphere are very liberal, and it is
believed II tonnage were available for
Its transportation the problem of feed
ing the world would be solved. In this
connection the increased activity in
the construction of steamers is an i'm
portant factor. Shipments from Ar
gentina this week are estimated at g.
035,0oo bushels, and the movement
from that country of late has been of
falr proportions. The Argentina crop
was good, but shipments have been
below normal. In Australia there are
large stocks, representing the accumu-
lation for the last two or three sea-
sons, and, aside from very moderate
shipments, mostly to America, the
movement has been light. India has a
promise OF crop Of about 4OO,0OO,0OO
bushels. which is nearly II per cent
larger than last year.
Corn.-The corn market was nervous
and feverish, advancing early on cover
ing and declining late under heavy
liquidation. At best the market is q
narrow one, because the big upward
market in stocks has detracted inter
est in that direction, and has conse
quently very much reduced outside
operations. Furthermore, the restric-
tlons imposed in regard to the amount
OF grain that any one house can con-
troll at one time cause numerous in
and-out operations. and the market
readily becomes both overbought and
oversold. Peace rumors from Europe
were said to have been responsible for
the late decline, although tho reports
from London on which the peace
rumors were founded contained little
that was of real Importance. The
weather was ideal for farming opera
tions, while there were a few com
plants of poor termination. So far
these have not been as prevalent as
might have been expected in view of
the recent reports of the poor condi-
tion of feed corn.
