GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
A Boiling Morning.

The speed of the market was yester-
day morning SO rapid that 1t developed
into a runaway affair and not until al
most noon was the pace, which had been
started in the morning, slackened. In
these first two hours the turnover ex-
ceeded 100000 shares and the ticker was
from ten to fifteen minutes behind sales
at the markets speediest moments. As
a result there was much confusion in
commission houses. With speculative
favorites jumping wildly, 2 and points
at clip, the price, as It appeared on the
tape, gave but hint of the price that a
stock was selling for on the floor of the
exchange. Consequently complaints at
executions were more numerous than
usual. In the whirlwind dash during the
morning Mexican Petroleum, General
Motors and Texas Oil, three stocks
which have been speculative favortes,
established new highs. Mexican Petro-
leum established a new high at 25S7s
It's previous high was 256% General
Motors made new high Of $40, against
its previous high Of 30S ". set last week.
and Texas Oil set new record at 299,
against 293. its former high. American
Beet Sugar got through par for the first
time this year. and counting in it's rights
and dividends subtracted Royal Dutch
made new high at 111M.

On the Stock Exchange floor that the
Federal Reserve Board was planning to
raise the rediscount rate. No conf1rma-

be inaugurated by the board at this

Canvass of commission houses after
the close Of the market brings out the
fact that sentiment on the Immediate
outlook is most widely divided. About
half of the professionals are of the firm
opinion that stocks are a sale. The
other half is equally firm in the belief
that the crest OF the wave is to come
and that much higher prices will be
reached before this year shall pass The
gist Of the bull argument is that a
stock tax dividend which would permit
further recapitalizations is probable
soon; heavy holders cannot cash in
their profits because Of the tax and are
obliged to hold on; the public is again
in the market. money is again cheap, as
shown by Mondays per cent and
yesterdays per cent. rate. The bears
on the other hand. are wont to point
out that the market has had a reason.

about anything that could happen in
the steel strike, that steel-and by the
same token the whole markt-should
sell lower now that the strike has been

April met me on the road;
Damp It was, the skies were gray,
And wore some ancient clothes,
Treasured 'gainst rainy day.
April mock obeisance made
Laughed at me, the saucy jade!
Waved her fairy wand, and, 10,
Sulky skies were decked with blue!
Threatening clouds were chased
away
Soon the sun shone brightly thru.
l, In well worn garments clad,
Truth to tell, felt passing mad!
Still another day we met;
Since twas lovely springlike
weather,
In my smartest suit and hat
Wreathed round with fluffy
feather,
Sauntered I, to pay call.
April vowed my pride must fall!
In a trice she hid the sun,
With her magic brought the rain
Spoiled my cherished finery!
Evidence, you see, is plain
April's like woman ever,
Full of moods-and steadfast
never!
