New York, April 21.-The strength of shell transport shares in to- days weak market was doubtless due to the preparations the com pany is making to issue new stock with attractive subscription rights. After the close, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. announced they were in receipt of acabies to. the effect new ordinary shares will be issued at par to shareholders in July in the spropor- tien of one new share for every two held. The Royal Dutch Company is also understood to be contemplar- nig new financing through the issu- ance of stock. As in the case of it's affiliated company, it is also un- derstood that the new stock will be offered to Royal Dutch sharehold- CTS at par, plebably in the same ratio as that in the Shell Transport plan.
 Despite the drastic break in the industrial list today important com mission houses were still advising caution toward these issues. ''We would not be too anxious to buy industrials on this decline, said Sol Wexler of J. $. Bache & Go.
 Their advance has not been based on fundamental, but artifi- ciaI conditions. On the other hand, practically all railroad news this year has been constructive, but stocks have not reflected their sig nificance or importance"
 Benj. Block of Block. Maloney. & Go. sent this oyer the firrn's wires: You do not have to look far to see important checks to any stock ex- pansion at this time. It is, consid- cred absolutely indispensable for many corporations to borrow money and the prospective loans run up into huge figures. It caused no lit- tie 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 on financial panic. Here, then, is a growing danger, for what the Steel Corporation is not doing, many others will do."

THEDAY IN WALL STREET
Shell Transport Offer New Block of Stocll-Commis- sion Houses Still Advising Caution-What Baruch
 Did in 1916-Japan Reported in Better Shape

stocks was the knowledge that the Tokio stock exchange had decided ato close This was recalled in Wall Htreet today when the financial dis EuWnceS in Japan were presented es one of the reasons for the break in prices. ft was argued that what IS happening in that country has evidentlya frightened some people into selling their security holdings in the fear that som ething of kindred nature may take place in America, where It is admitted that speculation has been carried on, on an excessive scale.
 The so-called pool stocks had hard time of it again today. Bald win, which is usually placed in this category, was a particular target of the bears, and under an ava lanche of selling orders the stock broke 14& points. The low price for the day of l14 E compared with 141M M, the closing quotation a week. ago. In some quarters it was stated that Baldwin had been particularly affected by the report that the recent nanipulative movements in the stock had been the subject of investigation by the stock exchange business conduct committee. This rumor was authoritatively denied.
 Baron Takahaslti, minister of finance of Japan, in a message to the American people, which the Tribune is able to present exclu- sively. declares that there is neither reason nor necessity for importing gold from the United States"
 The baron's cablegram was re- ceived late today by Akira Den, Japanese financial commissioner in New York. In response to an in- quiry from the Tribune, MT. Den said on Monday that it was unlikely Ja- pan would withdraw her credit bal ances from the United States. and queried the head of the ministry on the subject. Japan is known to have balances to her credit in Lon don in excess of $550, 100000, and the don in excess of $550,000, GOO, and the tween the two financial centers. The fear that Japan. which is now in the midst of financial difficult ties, might call on New York for gold was one of the chief causes of the drastic decline today in the security and commodity markets here.
