RA|LSLEAD RISE :.
IN STOCK MARKET
Many Specially Shares Also
Show Strength After
Yesterdays Slump.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star. ..
NEW YORK, February 18th,
stock market today was irregular ant
less active than 1t had been on tn,
two preceding days of the week. A:
group the rails gave the best dem
onstration of rallying power, severa
of the high-grade issues gaining
moderately. Atchison, which had beer
the star performer late Tuesday. die
not follow up its advance as man.
had expected. There were points o.
weakness, as in the case Of American
Woolen, and numerous strong spots
especially among stocks of the spe-
cialty type.
Chief Strength In Rails.
The principal strength lay with the
rails, especially the lower priced non
dividend paying issues. Rock Island
above AZ was up over points. New
Haven continued to reflect the ia
vorable impression made by the sue
cess of the s23,000,000 refundine e
loan. St Louis-San Francisco and
Kansas City Southern both rose
easily and Texas ande Pacific crossed
54 again. There was some buyine e
for time In Southern Pacific, which
moves in Atchison.
ntOn Pacific strong.
Union Pacific above $50 was up
over points from the low of the
week. American Wooden had been
run UP Tuesday at the expense of the
shorts.
But the real position in the stock
was shown when today this tenn
porary element of support was re-
moved. There was persistent selling
which carried the price off more than
three points. The Street is not i'm
pressed with statements that the
~oolen industry is on the mend and
it is inclined to relegate American
Wooden common to the class of in
definite non dividend payers.
Gulf States Steel Scars.
Gulf States Steel sold above 80 be-
fore the announcement soon after
midday of an 1111 per cent stock
dividend. The stock had not dis
counted the news, for shortly after
ward 1t was selling at SO. Sloss
Sheffield was drawn along despite the
fact that so far there has been nc
encoura cement from Wall street
two properties.
The steel trade news was certainly
anything but bullish. United States
Steel rallied another point early In
the day, but then was freely supplied
Bethlehem Steel for the most par'
was heavy.
News Helps stocks.
Wall Street liked the prominence
given to the new Diesel Locomotive in
the news of the morning. 1t was not
particularly concerned with how this
would figure out for the railroads and
equipment companies. But for the mo-
ment it was good speculative material
and as such constituted the argument
back of the rise in Baldwin Locumo-
. tive
Further evidence was furnished today
of the part which the short interest has
been playing in the market for Ameri-
can Woolen common. While the general
body of stocks were giving a much bet
ter account of themselves than they had
on the previous day. American Woolen
sara to a new low. The belief was that
in tuesdays selling movement the shorts
in American Woolen were actively cover
ing but with the market in better shape
today for a resumption of their cam
paign they were subjecting the stock to
renewed pressure.

NEW YORK, February 1S.-Stock
prices made further recovery from
recent weakness in today's session,
with buying stimulated by favorable
dividend announcements and higher
carloadings. Covering operations of
bear traders, who had sold stocks
freely on the first two days of the
week, was an important factor in
the advance. Total sales approxi-
mated 100000 shares.

BALTIMORE, February 1S.-The

more district shows decided improve
ment compared with 60 days ago. This
is particularly true of repair work,
which is making steady strides.
New construction work continues
quiet, but the outlook in this direction
is more favorable owing to the de-
cision of several companies to build
new steamers. The indications are
that there will be lively bidding
among builders for the contract for
two vessels to be awarded next month

THE other day Clarence Gilbert, air
l mail pilot. took off from Chicago at
night in a binding snowstorm, his plane
loaded with mail, bound for Omaha
Gilbert'S only guides in his dark and
lonely flight were the beacons at occa-
sional emergency air mail fields and the
whirling snow soon separated him from
these. Lost. his motor frozen, he was
forced to Jump to avoid death in crash.
His parachute caught in his plane and he
was killed in the fall.
When Gilbert failed to make Omaha on
schedule, another pilot, r. G.. Page, took
off while the storm still ragged, and in
the early dawn located the wreckage of
Gilberts plane
Page fought his way to the nearest
farm house, sent message 20 his chief,
fought his way back to Gilbert's wrecked
plane. loaded the delayed mailbagS into
his own plane. leaving the farmers 10
scour the countryside for Gilbert's body
and rushed the mail TO Omaha
All of which illustrates dramatically the
heroiSm, the high sense of duty and effici-
ency. and the spirit of the United States
air mail service No army ever displayed
more courage than this peacetime force,
which daily fights the elements day and
night to get the air mail there on time.
