Baldwin Locomotive.

Baldwin's spectacular rise in the last
half hour yesterday was as much of a
surprise TO the insiders as 1t was to the
general public and was the source Of
many rumors as to what might happen
at the meeting Of directors which has
been called for May 90. One of these
reports. coming from Boston. was to the
effect that the directors have decided to
declare an IS cash dividend in addition
to providing valuable rights for the
Junior shares. But investigation in well
informed quarters failed to reveal the
fact that any decision had been reached,
As a matter OF fact 1t was openly stated
that 1t was unlikely that a decision
would be reached among the controlling
interests on the board before the meet
ing. 1t is regarded as certain that
there will be some action taken toward
readjustment OF the subsidiaries under
one company. but up to the present time
II has been the general understanding
among interests close to the new man
agement that the dividend question
would go over until the readjustment of
capital should have been concluded.

Announcement OF the offering OF 400

tfcates OF the Tennessee Copper and
Chemical Company yesterday was in line
with what has been expected in the
financial district for some time back and
set at rest wild reports TO the effect
that some kind OF consolidation might
be effected with International Agricul-
tural. This report was brought out last
week to account for the strength of the
stock Of the latter company and had re-
ceived no denial until yesterday, when
the new stock Offering was announced.
The proceeds OF the new Offering will be
used to develop its sulphuric acid
products and also for construction OF a
fertilizer plant OF its own. II will be
offered to stockholders on the basis OF a
share OF new stock for every old share

Equipment stock. Up Too.

The equipment companies are so closely
related in a business way to the rail-
roads that good or evil days for the rails
are In the long run the same sort Of
days for the equipment shares. Tn
tangling OF the railroad situation will
have as bullish an influence on the
equipments as on the rails, and it was
without difficulty that they were swung
yesterday. In fact they moved much
faster than the rails. The technical po-
sition of the leaders in this group Is de-
clared to be excellent. because they have
had a long rest while the balance OF the
market was moving. Baldwin and Amer

Rand Gold,

The report in the financial district
that gold produced In the Rand might
be offered in this market has gained
strength in the news Ceceived by COM
mission house yesterday that the South
African Government is backing pro-
ducers of gold in their demand for a
free market for that metal Und =
present restrictions all OF the Rand gold
goes TO England. 1t is the belief of
many bankers that, II restrictions be re-
moved from gold as from exchange,

urally to this market. The April
production amounted 10 694 600 fine
ounces. valued at f2,95l.936. against "A

The attitude Of l.. r. Loree, presi-
dent OF the Delaware and Hudson. in
an address to his stockholders yester-
day may be taken as typical Of what
the railroad executives Of the country
think Of the situation. They are by
no means pessimistic about the outlook.
He said: THE investment in the rail-
roads Of this country represents one
tenth OF all the moneys all our people
have been able to save in the nearly 800
years that we have been in this coun-
try. II your property right in the Della
ware and Hudson cannot be success
fully defended, then the property rights
OF your neighbors. whether in manufac-
turing plants. farms or homesteads. can
not be successfully defended. If the
right of the individual in his private
property cannot be successfully de-
Tended. then the Industrial civilization
that has brought TO our race its present
security and comfort must perish.
Should the value OF your property be
in any way impaired by the Govern
ment, which I do not for a moment be-
lieve possible. no mistake will be made
in fixing the responsibility therefor and
an honest minded public may be de-
pended upon to promptly redress the
wrong"

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


With the extra session of Congress
but six days away. knowledge that It is
the desire Of the President that atten-
ton OF Congress be given directly to
the tangled railroad situation and be-
lief that rails have experienced about
ali the hard luck they are likely to
have. evidence of a steady accumulation
OF the rail stocks came to light yester-
day. The result was a forward move
ment In the old-fashioned investment
securities that brought them gains
ranging from fractions to points. The
movement was not a spectacular one,
by any means. but It was nevertheless
broad and solid and in most cases rep
resented a switch from highly specula-
tive issues that made the market such
a spectacular one. Norfolk and West
ern led the advance In the investment
rails and inquiry for such stocks as
New York Central. Union Pacific.
Atchison and Canadian Pacific was
good. The oil rails, which have
been neglected with the oil stocks. were
again in considerable demand. Evil
dences that while the market has been
burning red fire over the specislties the
rail stocks have been drifting into
strong hands may be seen on every
hand.

An inheritance tax is proposed in bill introduced in the Legislature by Representative Nordae It IS a move in the right direction. Economists every where have agreed that the inheritance tax Is Just. The right to devise property is a law made right and society has right to determine the terms under which the right may be exercised.
 Most States which have adopted the inheritance tax have either eliminated from taxation small es- tates or portions of where the heirs or eSa- tees are dependent children, dependent wife or dependent parents or the rate of taxation lower in such cases than otherwise. However, this is a detail and does not affect the principle involved MT Nordale has started good legislation.

Mexico Coming Back.
New York World.) )

The creation of an international committee or bankers to look after American, British and French Investments in Mexico is chiefly important reflect ing the changed attitude of the Carranza GoVerh- nent toward the Allied Powers in the war.
 Mexico's present problems are largely nnahclal It needs money and it needs credit to repalr the ravages of revolutionary and guerilla warfare and to strengthen Government against revival or de- struetive forces and neither money nor credit The Government under the direction of the distem- pered Carranza had evidently expected that Germany would win the and that it could then turn to Germany for the needed help. But Germany did not win the war and the money and credit are still none the less needed. .
 It is made clean enough by the creation or ths Al lied bankers that the Mexican Government is ready to abandon all policies of confscation or hos ty as affecting outside investments in Mexican ra1l- roads and mines and oil lands otherwise.
