Portable quarters for all of them.
They lived four in a room, in many
cases. or v or six in AZ two-room

signed it was predicted that there
would be an exodus from Washington
that would cause rental agents to
lower their prices. Il
But such was not the case. The
war workers refused to leave, and
20 months from. the signing Of the
armistice there is no visible increase
in the number Of available living
places Although the rolls of the
government departments might show
that thousands Of the workers were
separated from. the government pay
rohs during the period, It remains a
fact that there are nearly as many
war workers there now as during

Still Advise Caution

Despite the drastic break in the
industrial list yesterday important
commission houses were still advis-
ing caution toward these issues. 1--WE
would not be too anxious to buy in
dustrials on this Decline" said Sol
Wexler, of j. S. Bache & Co.
"Their advance has not been based
on fundamental but artificial condi-
tions. On the other hand, practically
all railroad news this year has been
constructive, but stocks have not re-
lected their significance or i'm
portance." Benjamin Block, of Block,
Maloney & Co., sent this over the
firms wires: "Yor do not have to
look far to see important checks to
any stock expansion at this time. 1t
is considered absolutely indispensable
for many corporations to borrow
money, and the prospective loans run
up into huge figures. 1t caused no
little surprise when Chairman Gary
sounded a note of warning about this.
He said that if United States Steel
had to go into the market and borrow
at or 8 per cent, as some others are
doing, it would soon bring an finan-
cial panic. Here, then, is growing
danger, for what the Steel Corporation
is not doing many others will do"

In Wall Street
Big Borrowing Demand for Stocks

Yesterdays decline marked the third
successive day in which tho course of
the stock market had been downward,
and, in view of the drastic character of
the break, there were some brokerage
firms which expressed the opinion that
a rally in the market was due, if for no
other than technical reasons. Reports
at the end of the day showed heavy
borrowing demand for stocks, indicat
ing that good part of the selling had
been for the short account. In this con-
nection it was pointed out, in answer
to arguments against short selling, that
if this sort of selling had not been per-
mittea in market like yesterdays the
brea% probably would have been in
finiteey worse.

Shell Transport Stock Offering

The strength of Shell Transport
shares in yesterdays weak market
doubtless was due to the preparations
the company is making to issue new
stock with attractive subscription
rights. After the close Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. announced they were in receipt of
cables to the effect that new ordinary
shares will be issued at par to share
holders in July, in the proportion of
one new share for every two held. The
Royal Dutch Company also is under
stood to be contemplating new financ-
ing through the issuance of stock. AS
in the case of it's affiliated company, it
is understood that the new stock will
be offered to Royal Dutch shareholders
at par, probably in the same ratio as
that in the She'll Transport plan.

Lackawanna Steel Holds

Lackawanna Steel was one of the few
stocks that withstood yesterdays SELL
ing wave and was able to show a net
gain over Tuesdays closing price. The
buying in this issue this week has been
mystery to Wall Street in view of the
recent official denial that the company
would be part of an independent
merger of steel companies and the fact
that earnings last year were equal to
only $1.02 a share on the capital stock.
After opening at 80 the stock moved up
to 859s and closed at the same price
as the initial transaction, after declin-
ing in the last half hour to 1871.
The Pool Stocks
The so-called pool stocks had hard
time of it again yesterday. Baldwin,
which is usually placed in this cate
CORY, was a particular target of the
bears, and under an avalanche of SELL
ing orders the stock broke lax points.
The low price for the day of 114k
compared with 141A, the closing quota
ton a week ago. In some quarters it
was stated that Baldwin had been par
ticulariy affected by the report that the
recent manipulative movements in the
stock has been the subject of investi-
CATION by the Stock Exchange business
conduct committee. This rumor was
authoritatively denied.

What Baruch Did in 1916

During the celebrated "peace leak"
investigation in 1916 Bernard M.
Baruch testified that one of the factors
which Influenced him to sell stocks was
the knowledge that the Toxic Stock Ex
change had decided to close. This was
recalled in Wall Street yesterday, when
the financial disturbances in japan
were presented as one of the reasons
for the break in prices. 1t was argued
that what is happening in that country
has evidently frightened some people
into selling their security holdings in
the fear that something of the kind
may take place in America.
New-York tribune., 1920-04-22
Brokers at Sea

Brokers whose particular function it
it to advise their customers regarding
the course of stock market prices pro-
fessed themselves to be all at sea after
yesterdays decline. They could see
no immediate reason for the way in
which securities were thrown over
board, regardless of what they would
bring, despite the oninion of many
that the recent rise in certain spe-
cialities had been carried to excess.
A governor Of the exchange stated that
perhaps the market here was begin
ming to experience what Japan has al
ready passed through-the result of a
wild speculation in commodities, which
has been one of the factors in the
high cost of living. But it was
pointed out that this argument was
advanced after the November break
and the decline in February, and liv-
ing costs have kept on climbing.
