Rail Equipment
Stocks Lead i'm
Moderate Rise
Baldwin Locomotive Is the
Feature of the Trading;
General Trend Upward
at Close; Oil Irregular

Stocks of railroad equipment COM
panies. under the leadership of Bald
win Locomotive, advanced from 2 to
more than a points ON the Exchange
yesterday, their movement contribut-
| ing the outstanding development of
otherwise dull trading sessions at the
principal financial markets. Specula-
tion for the rise in this group appar-
entity derived its force from the pro-
| fessional element which found in the
placement of large repair orders with
the companies and the prospect Of in
creased business from the carriers in
the fall material upon which to base
the move.
| Aside from some irregularity in the
oil stocks, other speculative securities
evidenced little disposition toward
change, the tone being firm and &C.
tivity slight. AS Baldwin, without
halting, extended Its advance to above
100, and other equipment issues, stimu-
lated by it's showing, climbed rapidly
the general list and particularly the
steel shares were infected in a measure
by the spirit of buoyancy and the close
found the entire market turning up
ward. This was mainly responsible for
an advance in the average price of fifty
stocks from s4.s2 to 1910, to which
both railroad and industrial shares
contributed.
Investment securities held their posi-
tion we'll and number of bonds, not
ably in the foreign group, made ap-
preciable gains. The action of both
the stock and bond markets, however,
again was shaped independently of the
news, traders paying little heed to
domestic or foreign developments.
The foreign exchanges were quiet,
but their general tendency was upward.
The recovery now under way is as
socated with technical considerations
rather than with any change in the
outlook abroad, being in the nature of
an Offset to the severe break in values
when Germany's collapse was forecast
Yesterdays gains were in no case i'm
portant, but francs continued as the
best performer.
Trading in the commodity markets
was on small scale and net price
changes were insignificant. Irregularity
in cotton depended from conflicting
crop reports, a late rally wiping out
some of the earlier losses. Wheat was
steadier, due to strength of the cash
position as buyers, fearing the effect
upon deliveries of the railroad strike,
covered their equirements.

The Cut In Grade Oil

The expected cut in crude oil prices
came yesterday when the Standard Oh
Company Of California announced re-
duction of Is cents barrel for It's
various grades. This action was met
by the Prairie Oil and Gas Company
and the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing
Company, both operating in the Texas
and Mid Continent elds. Ae has veeii
stated, the real factor in the present
crude oil situation making it advisable
for the leading producers TO lower
their quotations has been the heavy
overproduction in the American fields.
United States Geological Survey re-
pots show that 100,000,000 barrels of
crude oil have been added to storage
supplies in about year, an increase
Of So per cent. There has been o
steady increase in crude oil stocks fer
year and half. On January ], last
year, according to Geological Survey
figures, there were 123,291 900 barrels
in storage. BY the end of 1921 this
figure had risen to 183,890,000 barrels,
and on May 80 was 100000 barrels.
Actual production within the United
States is running close to 100000
barrels, against an average Of 1886, 900
barrels daily during 1921. It is esti-
mated that wells already drilled could
produce at least 100000 barrels
daily, or fom 100000 to 100000 barrels
more than present requirements. Ac-
tual imports have been coming in at
the rate of more than 150,000,000 bar
rels annually.

France Still Obdurate

France will not consent to reduc-
tion in the German reparation pay
ments unless forced to, according to
Thomas J. Walsh, of the investment
banking firm of E. H. Rollins & Sons,
who has returned from a two months
European trip during which he spent
most of his time in England, France
and Italy. He says that reports from
Germany indicate that the Teutons are
already talking of the next war" and
expressed sympathy with the French
determination to protect themselves
against possible future aggression
from across the Rhine. In England
Mr. Walsh found that the easier money
rates were helping the government in
its financing plans, particularly with
reference to the last Indian loan. The
British, he said do not like to discuss
their debt to the United States, but
hope that some way will be found or
its cancellation. "The Italians" he
continued, "are beginning to realize
the power of their hydro-electric facili-
ties, which has been recently empha-
sized by the extreme difficulty in get
ting coal. In the Italian Alps the power
facilities are especially great. As to
the possibility of financing hydro
electric projects, this will have to be
done mostly by foreign capital, as the
Italians themselves seem only to wish
to buy government bonds and certifi-
Gates. Considered from the standpoint
of natural resources Jugo-Slavia ap-
pears to present the greatest possibili-
ties for development, outside of

large Gamers which formerly made
their own cans are now purchasing

year as Government surplus was

the company earned $4,o27,o0 after all
charges, equivalent to s2.77 a share
for the common after preferred divi-
dends. The balance sheet showed a
strong condition with cash and govern
ment securities of s12,669,00 ccm-
pared with total current liabilities Of
s6,651 900 including tax reserve and
dividends payable. Total current as
sets were s36,387,0 900 or 5h times cur
rent liabilities. No dividends have
been paid on the common although
earnings have averaged $3.50 a share
annually. With working capital sufi-
cient for the first time in many years
to permit financing seasonal tin plate
requirements without recourse to the
banks, the common stock now apears
in line for dividends.

ments often went far beyond the line
of propriety which should be OBJ
served by every public official"
When there was no Improvement
in the situation, Mr.. Haynes contin-
ued and it was felt that q change
must be made, in view of the fact
that there never was question OF
Mr.. Wilson's honesty. energy and
interest he vas offered position in
the general agents office which he
did not regard favorably.
Mr.. Haynes declared Mr.. Wilson
Showed an utter lack of respect for
superiors" when pending the adjust
ment of floor space in the Boston of
fee he carried his criticism of offi-
Gals to the public through the press
and the platform. Mr.. Wilson's re-
lations with Mr.. Potter were charac-
terized by Mr.. Haynes as a"storm
center in administrative matters"
making it useless to hope for ulti-
mate harmonious relationships"
1T has been suggested" he contin-
ued "by some of Mr.. Wilson's friends
that the main difficulty is that Mr..
Wilson's enforcement policy was too
vigorous. OF course, this was utterly
without foundation for the success or
lack Of success in the specific work
of enforcement has not been consid-
cred in the settlement of this issue.
Politics has not entered into the dis
cussion. The degree of success
achieved in the enforcement work
has not entered into the discussion,
but the entire matter resolved itself
into one big issue, namely, that Mr..
Wilson temperamentally has proven
himself an impossibility in the Mass
achusetts organization where team
work is an absolute essential.
His successor, Mr.. Roberts, Mr..
Haynes declared was Heartily en-
dorsed" by the Anti-Saloon League

associated with the treasury depart
ment field force in that state.
Commissioner Blair declared that
statements made by Mr. Wilson in
interviews in Boston papers that
Senator Lodge and a number of rep
resentatives had sought his removal
was untrue.
Senator Lodge" he said. "has only
spoken to me about Mr.. Wilson twice
and both times for the purpose of
doing Mr.. Wilson favor. The first
time was when he asked me to ap-
point Mr.. Wilson and the second,
when the plan of organization was
changed. he insisted that I retain
Mr.. Wilson in q good position in the
service in the state of Massachusetts,.
He has never communicated with me
either directly or indirectly about
Mr.. Wilson since. The statement in
the interview in the Boston papers
that Senator Lodge or Messrs. Wins
low, Tinkham. Bottomley or any Of
them have ever come to me about Mr..
Wilson or ever suggested his remov-
al from the service is not true. Ma
jor Haynes and I alone are respon-
sible for this move. There was such
an evident incompatibility of temper
ment between Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Potter that a separation was absol-
utely necessary"
