Have Strong Spots.

The session in the outside market yes
terday was one of continuous activity
and strength. with increased outside
participation and pool operations prices
for most of the higher priced industrials
moved substantially higher. and several
new highs were established. Advances
ranged from one to ten points among the
moro active shares. and although there
was a tendency toward profit taking in
the early afternoon prices resumed the
upward trend before the close.
Most prominent in the group was
Cramp Shipbuildlng, which on unusually
active dealings advanced ten points on
buying mainly for Philadelphia interests
The rubbers and tires were featured by
an advance OF more than FIVE points in
Fisk Rubber Tire. That move was fol-
lowed by strength in Colonial Tire. Ex-
cello and the old Savold shares. United
h,S.@ stores established new high
record before the close, crossing 30, with
an advance of three points. ~
Road building stocks were made con-
spicuous with advances of three points

ferred and Warren Bros. Clinton-Wright
Wire acted better, closing fracttonally
higher. The buying of Havana Tobacco
shares, which has been prominent in the
last few days, sent their prices to new
highs for the present movement.
Although there were few strong
spots among the independent oils their
general tone was irregular. Midwest

of an extra dividend. and the Sinclair

Crude OIL Imports.

OIL companies properties of which lie
in Mexico are sitting on the anxious
seat as the result OF the Tampico meet
ing OF an oil commission charged with
the duty of recommending oil legislation
to the Mexican Congress, which meets
on May l. Some of them hint that all
of the activity is not across the Gulf,
and that domestic producers are anx-
ious to see some check on the imports
and are bestirring themselves accord
ingly. The following wire, from its
Southwestern correspondent published
In trade paper yesterday. attracted
considerable attention: There Is said
TO be movement on foot whereby the
Mexican Government may take some
steps to protect operators in the United
states against the food OF cheap Mexi-
can crude oil that Is being dumped into
this country every month This may
take the form Of an agreement for tho

understanding OF some nature between

Philippine Trade.

In connection with the plea OF the
Philippine Islands for independence the
National City Bank points out the tre-
mendous Increase of its foreign trade
since annexation, The commerce Of the

times as much as in the period imme-
diately preceding annexation The COM
p'lation of the National City Bank shows
that the Philippine trade with the world
averaged S35. 900. 900 year in the decade
preceding their annexation and was
S234,O00.000 In 1918. Exports averaged
$3.50 per capita prior TO the annexat on.
Now they are SIS per capita. ''Th,
growth In the exports OF the Philippines
has occurred almost exclusively in
natural products, Manila hemp. cocoa
nut oil, copra, sugar, tobacco and cigars
are the principal articles forming the
rapidly growing export trade, which has
grown from $4,000, 900 In 1899 to sl36,-
100000 in 1918. Manufactures OF all
sorts make up the'total of imports, which

Behind the smoke screen created by
the buoyant market Of Industrial spe-

down there has been a quiet unloading
OF rail stocks which has passed more or
less unnoticed, as II has been done with
out fireworks or red fire. 1t has been
going on quietly but with a steady per-
sistency since the first Quarterly reports
of the railroads this year began to pile
evidence on evidence OF their muddled
condition under Government control. The
small block sales do not excite the mar

against the rails that Nave precuded

The sharp rise in Marine common in
the last hour yesterday, which estab-
lished a gain OF more than points for
the day on this stock, was the cumina-
ton Of important buying by big houses
which had been in progress during the
entire session. There was nothing def
mite in the way of news to account for
the buying other than that Wall Street
expected tremendous freight and pa.t
senger business when peace is signed and
decided that Marine was preparing TO go
after a share OF tHat business II Is
pointed out also that every succeeding
payment on the deferred preferred div
idends brings the common nearer to a
dividend basis There is considerable re-
jo!cing in certain conservative financial
circles that at last the Marine company

The Steel Dividend.

nouncing a policy of per cent. regular
dividends and extras as the quarterly
earnings warrant. as foreshadowing the
cut to be made nlthe extra, as widely
predicted 1t is known, OF course, that
the steel industry is almost at a stand
still since the start Of the price contro-
versy and It would occasion little sur
prise II the earnings should show a wide
falling off. 1t will be remembered that
in the last quarter Steel barely earned
its extra. Should these earnings show
an even lower figure than in the last
quarter. as now forecast, a further cut
in the extra would become necessary.
The most frequently encountered predic-
ton is the regular IL per cent. with
possibly Il OF l per cent. depending on
the earning statement.
