Marine Common.

The very active and extremely strong
market in the common shares of the In
Mercantile Marine Company
yesterday was taken in some quarters
to mean that the real fight for voting
control had begun. 1t was intimated
day or two ago when those opposed to
the sale of British assets and the subse-
quent liquidation OF the Marine company
came out into the open with their oppo-
sition that there might be staged stock
market battle for control of sufficient
shares to kill the deal at the meeting
on June IS. In quarters we'll fortified
with knowledge OF the happenings IN the
Marine circles this theory is discredited
It Is pointed out that the chance of
the completion OF the deal is growing
less and less, and that the common Is
being bought by those who believe that
the company will not be liquidated. The
earnings for April. which were admitted
by Mr.. Franklin to have been much in
excess OF those OF the same month a
year ago. are declared to be considerably
higher than even he had indicated, and
with a removal OF 40 per cent of the
British excess profits taxes and the re-
adjus tment OF other unfavorable fea-
lures in the shipping situation earnings
OF the Marine ships will be at such a
rate as to make Marine common a desir-
able security.

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

The marines attracted most attention
and exhibited the greatest group
strength in the trading on the Consoli-
dated Stock Exchange yesterday. On
early reports that accumulation for con-
troll of the International Mercantile Ma
rine Corporation was under way. the
common stock was bid up ~ to 60h
and the preferred ! per cent to 22h.
Later buying OF marines shifted to At
lantic Gulf and West Indies and Ameri-
can International Corporation. The for
mer moved up 14S to 1875, and the
latter SIS to HAS. both finishing close
TO the top figures. Pacific Mail was
favored by a gain OF about 5 points to
431a. Sustained demand for Brooklyn
Rapid Transit during the last half hour
brought about an active movement in
that stock on which a gain Of ga to 80

Southern PACIFIC Shit.

According to interests in close touch
with the company a decision is expected
on the Southern Pacihcs oil land suit
very shortly. probably before the close of
business tomorrow. Word to this effect
was flashed through the Street yesterday
via the grapevine route. but II had little
effect on the stock. probably because
such tactics have been employed often
before by those who are running the
market in the stocks. But this time 1t
Is understood to be correct. The suit Is
pending in the Supreme Court OF Cali
fornia, to which an appeal was taken by
the Government when the lower courts
ruled that the Government could not at
tack the title to the property by alleging
fraud. When the suit was taken up to
the California high court the Govern
ment attacked the title OF the lands, and
while OF course. no word has reached
the financial community in respect to the
outcome OF the decision those who have
followed the case all along are extremely
optimistic

The spectacular rise OF twenty -four
points during the week in Atlantic. Gulf
and West Indies Is not credited to any
special virtues the company possesses as
a steamship line. although its businecs
in this line is n profitable one. but rather
to the success of Its recently acquired
oil properties in MexicA Some very
glowing reports about these new proper
ties have reached Wall Street recently
and the rumor persists that the oil and
steamship companies are to be separated
and that holders of AGWI will receive
profitable rights of subscription In the
oil properties. According to gossip
which has accompanied the accumulation
of the stock the earnings of the oil
properties are estimated at approximate
ly $40 a share on AGWI The stock had
another sudden and rapid climb in yes
terday's brief session, gaining nine
points and closing at 1877. 1t touched
1884, at the days highest. 1t opened
the week at 163 and. except on one day,
its trend has been steadily upward.

There were indications yesterday Of ar

these indications were all sorts Of new

was exceptionally good" and last but
not least that the pool in the leather
stocks was to become active again. par
