BALDWIN LOGON otixe.

Further details of what happened in
Philadelphia on Friday In connection
with the retirement OF Alba A. johnson
from the presidency OF the corporation
came to light in Wall Street yesterday.
II Is reported from New York stock
holders, who attended the meeting. that
the directors have called a meeting for
May % to decide on a policy with re-
spect to declaring a dividend on the
Junior shares OF a disqualification OF the
whole concern. According to stockholders
who attended Fridays meeting there
has been q revulsion of sentiment to-
ward declaring a dividend before re-
capitalization. 1t is understood that the
path Is comparatively clear for the con-
solidation OF Baldwin. Eddystone and
the Standard Steel Company into one
concern. Another thing decided upon is
that the Philadelphia works OF the Bald
win corporation will be disposed OF and
the plant moved to Eddystone. 1t is
understood that Baldwin received an
offer of SIS 200, 900 for the Philadelphia
plant and action towards its disposal
is expected to be taken shortly

A Questionable Coup.

There was widespread criticism in the
Street at the manner in which the coup
in Sinclair Gulf was handled yesterday.
That It was a coup and that the break
was artiicia1ly brought about. was evil

was to wipe out the paper profits Of
large numbers of small spectators in

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Breaking the Market.

The signal for the break in the mar
ket yesterday was the drop In Sinclair
Gulf on the Curb. which smashed 20
points in the first few minutes of trad
ing. II had closed on the previous night
at SO ", but broke to AZ after yesterday g
opening. The strength of the interests
which were back of the movement in
this stock left the impression that some
thing more than normal selling was
taking place and It resulted immedi-
ately in n general slashing of prices on
the big board. The immediate effect of
the decline was to remove much of the
interest in oils and other specialties,
which have made rapid advances, and
shif; this interest to the standard steels
and rails. which have dragged during
tho movement. At the close II was said
that the market was in a much healthier
position. but that most of the recently
speculative favorites-of which Sinclair
Gulf Ia typical example--have lost
whatever favor they had with the gen
eral public and Wall Street

Saving the Bucket shops.

Wall Street is literally honeycombed
with bucket shops. Most of them deal
largely in the cheap oil stocks which
the boom has brought boiling to the
surface. Nobody appears to have the
nerve or the authority or the knowl-
edge Of how to go about putting them
out Of business. At any rate they con-
tinue merrily and yesterdays session
saved many of their financial lives 1t
brought the greatest slaughter OF the
innooents that the Street has witnessed
In many a day. Customers, most of
them known as delicatessens-as all
small traders are called-had built up
substantial profits and were pressing
these houses for payment. In most
cases Of course 1t was an open secret
that the orders they had put in at
lower levels were never executed
merely bucketed. The bucket shops, II
payment was made, stood to lose good
round sums. What happened with the
crash was to wipe the slate clean OF
these profits as hundreds Of stop loss
orders were reached. 1t has saved
many OF them from an embarrassing
situation. because the District Attorney
Is reported to be inquiring into the
methods in which some of these houses
are handling orders.

Market Opinions.

Optimism as to the opportunities for
the long pull but tinged with warning
signals concerning the immediate
future. characterizes the majority OF
week end market letters sent out by
commission houses TO their customers.
Most OF them say that the advance.
particularly in oils. has been, too rapid.
Clark. Childs & Co. say that the market
shows signs OF a little let up for a
time in both activity and Aggressive
ness. Hambleton 4 Co. say: "The ad-
vance In speculative issues had a
hardening tendency upon rail and
other securities and though they have
failed to advance materially they con-
tinue to show the strong underlying
tone. born OF optimism. that the day OF
REIMBURSEMENT is not far on" Hayden,
Stone q Co. say that the most welcome
sign exhibited in the weeks market has
been the gradual firming up In the rail-
road shares. Paine, Weber a Co. say !:
"There Is a little too much OF specula-
tive overeXtension and the pace has
been too rapid without healthy recess
sions such as normally occur in a bull
market" c. !. Hudson & Co. declare
that the end OF the bull market Is not
in sight and that higher prices will be
reached after reactions. J. s. Bache &
Co. say: THE market Is rejecting the
prosperity OF the present and is bound
to, sooner, or later. reflect the hopes of
the future"

specialtiea Break.

Most OF tho spectacular break on the
Stock Exchange yesterday was in pre-
cisely those issues which the lure OF
advancing prices and of enormous ac-
tivity has brought big following. In
these issues the public has been rolling
up tremendous profits and in most
ca ses they were not cashed in because
of the overhanging profits tax. The
rapid advances in the past few days
particularly in the oil stocks-brought
the market into rather a dangerous po-
sitton. Increased commissions and a
reduction in the percentage of cash
which banks would loan on these stocks
did not stop II. But II was inevitable
that a reaction should come. The two
Royal Dutch issues were the heaviest
losers on the decline. Royal Dutch sold
of 3K points and the New York shares
Az. Sinclair was down 2k and Pan
American Petroleum 3&. 1t is worthy
OF note that the shakeout did not rock

Reno is to be made a main sales

Previously Reno has been served
from Sacramento.
This means that all the terri

than was possible before 1t is a
distinct advantage and will be very
greatly appreciated by every user

Heald street Is in such condition that
