New York, March 15.-( -(Special.l It is hard to kill the belief that some day the Baldwin locomotive works will cut a juicy melon for its common stockholders. Every time Baldwin gets strong the street hears rumors of something favor able impending. Today was one of those days. Baldwin shot to 125 on active buying and closed A. points up at 1231h. There was some real news upon which to vase a move in Baldwin. but there were rumors of other developments. An nouncement was made that the company has closed a contract with the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad for 100 locomotives of the Mikado type, this being the largest single order booked by the company since the armistice was signed. The company has also taken orders for twenty engines from Cuba. It was rumored around the district that the strength of Lima Locomotive shares in the open market recently was due to a steady demand from a single quarter, believed to be Baldwin interests. The Lima company was reorganized in 1916 and on it's present basis has an annual capa- city of about 450 locomotives. It has been reported before that the Baldwin interests were buying con trol of the Lima Another report in circulation about Baldwin today was to the effect that the $50 dividend declared last year was in reality a quarterly disbursement and that the common stock has been put upon an annual basis of S14 8 share. If this is true. the directors are overdue in the mat ter of making another quarterly declaration.

New Orleans Cotton
 Bv Associated Press

New Orleans, March 15.-Although
 the cotton market ran into heavy sell
 ing on the opening day there was a
 strong recovery latter and in the after
 noon fairly wide net advances were
 made. The early selling was done
 mainly on the news from Germany, the
 dry weather and moderate tempera-
 lures in the cotton region being a sec
 ondary reason for the selling. To all appearances, bearish traders put out too many short contracts and when they tried to take their profits they found next to nothing for sale. A good demand sprang up from the long side, l after the census bureau report on | American mills for February had been digested, and. if anything, there was more pressure to buy in the late trad : 1 ing than there was pressure to sell l In the early trading. At the lowest of the day the active months were 8 to 54 points under Saturdays close: at the highest they were 24 to S3 points over. Closing prices were at net gains
 for the session of 10 to 19 points Bullish interets in the census bureau report was centered on the figures showing consumption during February | of 5l6,5s4 bales, not counting Iinters. against 433,29S during the same month last year.

CORN SCARS UPWARD

Oats Made Good Gains, While Pro- visions Were Unchanged to 12c Lower Than Saturdays
 Close
By AmoeIatsd Press

Chicago, March 15.-Soaring prices in the corn market today resulted chiefly from assertions that eastern railroads had been notified to furnish Chicago grain shippers with 5000 cars. There was buoyant close. with May at s1.522s to $1.5S. and July s145h to $1.4e.
 Oats gained 1Ac to FAC. In provisions the outcome was unchanged to 12c lower.
 Much of the buying that hoisted the corn market was credited to prominent speculator who had received message saying that the interstate commerce committee had promised an effort to supply to Chicago 300 cars day to take grain east during a period of ten days. On the ensuing advance July and Sep tember deliveries reached the topmost level yet this season. Bulls were strong ly of the opinion that enlarged ship ments to the east would cause de- cided reduction on the supply here and that the stock of feeding stuff east was very limited. Liverpool cables telling 1i a renewed option of trading in corn fu- lures were also construed as favoring an advance. German developments had depressing effect at the start but afterward were ignored
 Prospective big shipments east made oat.i ascend with corn.
 Lower quotations on hogs kept the provisions market weak.

 New York; March 15.-Liquidation in- spired by the unsettling German news was quickly absorbed in the cotton mar ket, and a. sharp opening break was followed by even sharper advances. Both March and May made new high records with March selling at 4o.O4c. or the high est price ever touched by futures con tract in the local market while May advanced from 363sc to S7.2Se and closed at 37.09c.

 The opening was easy at decline of % to 5T points with active minths sell ing 46 to 5S points net lower right after the call. There was Liverpool selling and a good deal of liquidation and pri' vate cables reported Manchester and local selling in the English market on the political news from Germany. They added however that the dislocation of German trade might benefit British busi- ness and the Liverpool market rallied sharply after the local opening | The relatively steady ruling of the stock market was considered reassurins | and after the first rush of selling, prices ! terned firmer on covering or a renewa Of last weeks buying movement.

THE DAY IN WALL STREET
Belief Persists That Baldwin Will Soon Cut Juicy Melon Crucble Performs-Readng Holds Up Well-Cal-
 iforna Packing Preferred Converted

rectors of the company are sched- uled to meet today in Pittsburg when it is expected they will de- clare a dividend in stock, perhaps as much as 25 per cent. Such ac- ton has already been foreshadowed by the authorization of an Increase of $50, ,000, 900 in the common stock of the company and the announce ment that this will be used for stock dividend purposes from time to time. Horace Swilkinson, chair man of the Crucible board. stated several days ago that the way to stock distribution had been opened by supreme court decision declar- ing such disbursements non-tax- able.
 Expectations that the supreme court would hand down it's long awaited decision in the trust case against the Reading did not ma terialize today. Reading held tip well. heavier in the market and got close to it's high of Saturday, sSts. It was argued that the de- cision would be favorable from the speculative viewpoint, whatever 1t might be. For. it was pointed out, if the decision held the company to be combination in violation of the Sherman law, segregation of the Readings non-railroad invest ments' would take place and the stockholders would benefit through distribution of these assets On the other hand, should the decision hold there to be no violation of the law. as was the case in the steel decision, the Reading could keep it's coal properties or segregate them, whichever it deemed best,
 Approximately 92 per cent of the preferred stock of the California Packing Corporation has been de- posted for conversion Into the common shares of the company. The privilege of conversion expired March 2. 1t gave the holder the right to receive twelve shares of the common stock for every share of the preferred. As a result of the conversion the company will have but a small amount of the preferred stock to redeem on April 1 next st s115, the fcalleble price.
