ommendation
An official request has been sent to
the striking harhor boatmen of New

Representatives of the war and navy
departments, the railroad administra-
tion and shipping board decided on this
policy and communicated their action

railroads, who was asked to advise the
strikers. In the meantime kilograms

toat owners were prepared. 1t is under
stood hearings will be held shortly re-
gardless of whether both sides agree to

officers of the Army Transport Service
began to consider emergency steps to

The country was again On the buying side Of
the market. During the last few months the
farmers led in securing profits. Commission

given this advice BY the average traders who
bought on reports Of country elevators nearly

RECORD PRICES
AGAIN BOOSTED
Bosch Magnetic and Motors
Show Maximum Gain
On Record Day.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York. June 21.-Another cele-
bration occurred in the stock mar
ket today owing to the probability
that the Germans would sign the
peace treaty. New high records
were made in many directions, not
withstanding that they were made
on top of high marks made yester-
day.
Gains ranged from a fraction to
Eve points, the maximum advance
being made in General Motors and
Bosch Magnetic. Shipping shares,
tobaccJs. motors and leather issues
wcre N good inquiry at sharp ad-
VanCes in quoted market prices.
The sJeadiness with which quota
tions rose was somewhat surprising
in view of the heavy profit-taking
that was reported throughout the
Street
Commission houses declared that
many of their customers who had
large paper profits converted them
during the short session into cash
because uf a fear that something
unfavoTable might happen over the
holiday although all indications
were that the news would be favor
able from Europe.
Gtnral Motors was urgenly pur-
chased. and closed with a net gain OF
five points.
Leather stocks were again favorites.
American Hide and Leather preferred
and Central Leather gaining about
two and one-half points each.
Texas & Pacific at one time showed
gain of nearly two points. but this
was lost. and a fraction on realizing
sales by persons who have reaped
large profits in the stock last week.
~ an indication of the confidence
entertained by some brokers, that the
peace treaty would be signed shortly.
