GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
The Thumb Screws.

Along back in the dark days when
everything looked gloomy as gloom and
the minus sign was working overtime In
stock tables a Wall Street man who
makes close study of the tape re-
marked casually, when this market
does turn this line Of shorts In Crucible
and Baldwin is going to get a man
handling which will make short selling
n lost art" He bats 1000 In the
Prophecy League, because such squeeze
as has been made In these stocks seldom
has been witnessed In Wall Street Post
II, on the New York Stock Exchange,
at which Crucible IL dealt in, and Post
IL, at which Baldwin is the centre Of
attraction, were yesterday the markets
pivotal points. Brokers fairly fought
with each other to execute at the market
orders for shorts, who had had enough
and were paying through the nose. or for
new buyers. whose name was legion,
who are OF the opinion that the long
clique have the shorts exactly where
they want them and that they are not
In mood to temper justice with mercy
In allowing them to cover. The move
in both stocks is entirely a market
move as no immediate news which would
so affect the stock of either corporation
has come to the surface recently. AS
one old trader expressed II yesterday.
1.-THE stock is simply not in Wall Street"
Active buying has removed 1t to safety
deposit vaults. The floating supply
daily gets smaller and smaller, and
when shorts try to cover they ascertain
IL in terms of dollars and cents, whi&l
would snag a hole In anybodys bank
roll

The Floating supply.

Just what the floating supply of
Baldwin and Crucible amounts to It is
impossible TO say exactly because 1t
is a fluid supply and increases and
decreases with the market operations.
In the case of Baldwin. however, 1t is
reported that the clique lined up with the
management controls 10000 shares and
that speculative line OF $4,000 shares
Is sewed up hard and fast, leaving a
bare 10000 as the floating supply. WheH
the trades In a day run up to 100, 900
shares, as they did yesterday. it is
evident that somthing has to crack.
In the case of Crucible Steel 1t Is i.-
ported that the clique which has en-
gineered such a successful move that 1t
amounts to practically a corner, that Ia
line OF 10000 speculative shares are
locked up In a Wall Street vault and
that the floating supply is even shorter
case on violent move of this kind,
rumors OF all sorts are going the rounds
as to who is behind the move One of
them was yesterday to the effect that
large operator in Chicago with a
big following has been short of Crucible
from par and that he is still full Of
fight Other rumors, CLEANED here and
there, wero to the effect that a promi-
nent politician and market operator
working with Boston operator ad-
dicted to full page newspaper advertise
ments. is holding the warm end of the
Baldwin plunge.

BIT. OF Favorable News.

Several reports which loaned tone and
strength to The market were current yes
terday In Wall Street. One of them,
which accounted in part for the strength
in that stock, was that the American
Car and Foundry directors plan to put

meeting this afternoon. The stock
touched 1881 during the day, a new
high record. Another report was that
the Corn Products Refining Company
had acquired practically all of its bonds
In the open market and that some early
announcement on the dividend problem
might be anticipated. Control OF the
American Marconi Wireless Company is
reported to be passing to a group of
financial interests associated with the
General Electric Corporation. The lat
terhas an interest In American Marconi

was that the Saxon Motor Car Corpora

The Money Market,

One Of the questions which Wall Street
Is asking itself. in view OF the improved
market and the return OF 1,E00,0 900 share
days. Is whether the money brake will
be applied again and when. Professional
Wall Street at least does not forget that
this Is potent weapon in the hands of
the powers that be and knows that the
powers that be do not hesitate to WELD
II II. In their judgment the wheels turn
too rapidly. At the moment the market
Is entirely normal. but the period around
September Is will be watched by rather
anxious eyes as there will be a drain on
the financial centres resources to handle
the Government maturities around that
date They amount to some $1.49S,631,-
600. OF which $616,s46,000 in securities
Is held in New York. One of them IL
series ia OF Treasury certificates OF In
debtedness. of which $526, 13S, 900 was is
sued and S212.337, 900 sold in New York,
The other series Is T-6, of which $685.
46S,000 was sold and s129,254,o00 taken
in New York. There is another issue OF
loan certificates. amounting to s646,02b,-
600, of which $275.355,0 900 was sold in
New York and which mature on Sep
TENDER .. but it is reported that some OF
this paper, at least, has been redeemed.
These maturities, with the natural drain
for crop moving purposes. happily al
most over, may cause stinening OF the
rate. Bankers do not believe that Il
will be a radical or violent increase I'M
less In the meanwhile the market de-
velops into runaway affair.

Protest Of Anti-Zionists

ed by Congressman Kahn.
The time for arguing whether or
not there shall be established Jew

past" said Judge Mack, because. to
Iaraphrasc the historic remark Of
Grover Cleveland, the utterances OF
President Wilson and the action of the
Allied Powers make IL n condition and

like to call attention to the disin-

tinued. THE petition sets forth TINT
The Zionists are 10000 out of a total
American Jewish population of 1000
10000 are all adults. whereas the
three million total Jewish population
includes minors and even infants.
They also failed to state that in ad.
dition to these registered and dues

organizations which have made Zion
