A Dull 1,5o0,000-share Day

The mind works in comparison, and
transactions of 100000 shares, i'm
mediately succeeding nearly 100000
shares in the most active session in
two years, seem dull day. The move
ment of prices was highly irregular,
and, on the average, closed with
small net decline. But yesterdays was
not the kind of market that precedes
drastic reaction, nor was it in itself
anything like the violent setback so
often predicted of late in brokerage
warnings. The markets pace has been
swift; days of halting and irregularity
are inevitable. Yesterdays decline re-
suited from nothing in the news. 1t
was due purely to conditions within the
market itself. The growing fear in
some quarters that the present i'm
provement in prices had already "ds-
counted" the first phase of industrial
improvement, the continued warnings
of reaction. the weakening of "tech-
nical position" in certain stocks like
Baldwin Locomotive and Steel COM
mon, following driving in of short
sellers; a temporary excess of the I'M
pulse to take profits over the impulse
to buy more stock and the warning sig
nal hung out by the banks on Wednes-
day of IN per cent call money-all
made for irregularity.

Shareholders to Receive Stock
Worth $4,000. 600

An offering of s1,15o,ooo first lien
convertlble bonds of the Grown Oil and
Refining Company was announced yes-
teer,day by syndicate headed by Mer
rlll, n Lynch & Co. and Hemphill, Noyes
d %. 1t was also announced that
stockholders will receive as melon"
$2;ooo,ooo additional stock of a par
value of $25. The bonds will be con-
vertlble at par for eighteen months
into common stock at 2SA. The an
no'uldncement of the bankers said:
Since the incorporation of the busi-
ness ness in, September of 1917 the Crown
on and Refining Company has been
financed entirely by Texas capital.
Due to the steady increase in the com
pany's production from slightly more
than 1000 barrels per day in 1918 to
Its present production of 5000 barrels
per day, the directors have decided it
was best for the concern to come to
New York for its future capital re-
qulrements. The business of the com
Pany has grown beyond the capacity
OF OF Iexas banks and investors to finance
II on the big scale necessitated by its
valuable holdings"

Vanderlip and Franklin
Due Here Monday
And I. M. M. Developments Are
Expected to Follow Their
Arrival.

P. A. S. Franklin, president Of the
International Mercantile Marine Com
pany, and Frank A. Vanderli2, prcsi-
dent of the National City Bank, are
scheduled to arrive in this city next
Monday. Immediately following their
return it is expected that special
meeting of the I. M. NJ. directors will
be called to hear from Mr.. Franklin
whether the British have made another
offer to take over the companys ships
that fly the English flag.
Mr.. Franklin went abroad, it was un-
derstood, for the purpose of resuming
with the British syndicate the negotia-
tlons that were. broken off by the inter-
ference of the United States Shipping
Board in that deal. Mr.. Vanderlip,
who is a director and member of the
executive committee of the Interna-
tloral Mercantile Marine, is understood
to have taken an active part in those
negotiations.
According to Wall Street report the
head of the |. M. M. Company will in
form the directors that the British are
willing to take over the English feet
and assets at approximately the same
price that was involved in the first
deal. This was between $125, 900 900
and $130,OO0,OOO.

The fractions, ct al.

The one group Of stocks which did
show uniform advance, and a decided
one, was the fractions. Brooklyn
Rapid Transit advanced AS points; In
terborough Consolidated common closed
at 61s, net gain of M; the preferred
stock added 81 points. There was no
generally accessible news, and the be-
lief was expressed that the movement
represented merely a repetition of a
feature familiar in the present market
the taking up and bidding up of a
fresh group Of stocks, hitherto neg
lected, when the movement has tempo
rarily halted in the rest of the list.
The traction movement may have had
some connection with the advance in
two other public utilities
Union Gas and Consolidated Gas.

Copper Metal Advance

An Improvement in the buying of
copper has been noted in the market
recently. Yesterday some large pro-
ducers began asking 1914 cents a pound
for substantial amounts, compared
with a previous price of 15%. 1t was
reported that the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company's production, now 60
per cent, would be gradually increased
II the buying movement in copper con-
tinued. AS showing the interdepen-
dence of the two metals, it is signifi
cant that buying of copper, which fell
off when buying of steel fell off be-
cause of the Peek-Hines controversy.
has now begun with the resumption of
steel buying and the settlement of that
controversy.

Where Declines Came

In individual stocks reactions were
mainly in those shares which recently
had enjoyed the most extravagant ad-
vances. Declines in most cases were
either because the price advance had
been overplayed or because the tech
nical position in the stocks had become
temporarily unstable. Among such de-
clining shares were American Bosch
Magnetic, American Car and Foundry,
American Hide and Leather, Atlantic,
Gulf and West Indies, Chandler Motors
and few of the tire stocks. Steel

Hines Gets Aid
OF Warburg in
Rail Problem
Banker Working on Plan
for Return of Carriers to
Their Owners, at Di-
rector Generals Request

Paul M. Warburg, former vice-govern-
or of the Federal Reserve Board, has
been asked by Walker d. Hines, Direc-
Albert B. Cummins, chairman of the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce, to aid in the formulation of
plan for returning the railroads to
their owners. Mr.. Warburg, it was
learned yesterday, has been actively
engaged on this work for some time.
Views already expressed by Mr.. War
burg on the railroad problem show him
to be in favor of a plan combining
some of the features of the railroad ad-
mlnistration and the Federal Reserve
system. He has suggested the trans
formation of the Interstate Commerce
Commission into body of five or
seven members, with powers half ju-
dicial and half administrative, to deal
with the railroads through the medium
of regional boards. On these he would
have the state commissions represented
along with railroad men and business
experts.
Would Divide Surplus
Mr.. Warburg would also like to see
net railroad earnings above per cent
divided between stockholders, the gov
ernment and labor, with a fixed maxi
mum beyond which the earnings of the
stockholders should not go. He believes
IN the idea that capital and labor
should be partners.
Preliminary to the conference of
railway executives at the Grand Cen
trail Terminal to-day, at which will be
discussed the problem of future oper-
alton and ownership of the carriers
meetings were held in the financial dis
trict yesterday. 1t was limited that
some modification of the plan of the
Association of Railway Executives may
be recommended at to-day's session.
Among the changes expected is the
abandonment of the proposal that a
Cabinet member be appointed to repre-
sent the railroads. With the active en-
trance of Mr.. Warburg into the situa-
ton efforts will probably be made to
reach an agreement on a composite
plan that will meet with the approval
OF everybody concerned.
Committee Meeting
Today's conference was preceded
yesterday morning by a meeting of a
few railroad executives at the offices of
the Association of Railway Executives.
This was followed by the regular
monthly luncheon at the Bankers Club
OF the Eastern presidents. Later in
the afternoon there was meeting of
what is known S the steering commit
tee of the Railway Executives Asso-
citation.
This morning the standing committee
of the association will receive a renort
from the steering committee, while in
the afternoon all the members of the
association will hear the views of the
standing committee on what in its
opinion is the best method for return
ing the railroads to their owners.

The Markets
The Precedent of 1904

No bull market has gone on as long
as this one without reaction since 1904
Then stocks started to rise on May 18
and did not react until December s.
That was market lasting nearly seven
months, against the present market of
only three months. The average rise
of prices was from AZ to 73 in indus
trial shares, or 26 points. The present
rise has already reached % points in
industrials. But the present advance
has been from a price Of 79 to 101, and
fairer comparison would be on a per-
centage basis. The 1904 advance in
prices was equal to 55 per cent. A
similar advance this time would carry
the average industrial price to 122, or
approximately the same number of
points further up, as it has already
gone.
