NEW YORK, May IA tP.-Curious
cross currents of prices swept through
today's stock market, but, in the main,
operators working for higher prices
retained the upper hand. Speculation
centered largely on the "rich mems
stocks" selling above $3.50 share, sew
eral of which were bid up to record
high prices. Trading was unusually
heavy for half holiday session, total
sales running well over a million
shares.
There was nothing in the days news
to influence the price movement, which
appeared to be based largely on easy
money and the continuation of a rela-
lively high volume of trade activity, as
revealed by heavy bank clearingS and
freight car loadings. Such irregularities
as were reported to the weekly mercan-
tile reviews were diSregarded. The
buIliSh enthusiasm which had been en-
genedered for the oil shares when ne
gotiatiorlS were begun to curtail pro-
duction dwindled somewhat when it
became apparent that the restriction
measures were meeting with serious
opposition from some of the large pro-
ducerS.
Baldwin was again the individual
feature, climbing 61a points to new
record high at 206, largely at the ex-
pense Of an overcrowded short in
terest, and then slipping back to 2o2H
on realizing Other railroad equipments
were strong, with buying influenced by
the placing of recent orders for cars
and locomotives. Pullman scored an
extreme gain of nearly 5 points and
approached to within fraction of the
years top, while American Car and
Foundry, American Locomotive, Pressed
Steel Car and Ti1nken Roller Bearing
advanced a point or two.
u. S. Cast Iron Pipe scared 91A points
to new 1927 maximum at 24172 and
then eaSed to 239. The sudden OUT
burst of strength in the packing issues
followed the announcement that the
Argentine "meat war" had been settled
in London. Motors were heavy, but in
most instances the losses were small.
Savage Arms broke 5 points to a new
low at 48, and heayiness cropped out
in Commercial Solvents B, Interna-
tional Silver and South Porto Rican
Sugar.
Rails were rather quiet although
s'Nickel Plate" common and Chesapeake
and Ohio attained new peak prices at
2241s and 1921, respectively, the for
mer losing its gain on realizing. Hook
ing Valley also was pushed up to a new
top at 3JG on odd lot buying Frisco
common closed 2 points higher at
114%.
Foreign exchanges were slightly
easier. Demand sterling dropped 1s of
a cent to around $5.85A on selling pre-
sumably inspired by fears that the
recent stock market collapse in Berlin
would result in the withdrawal of Ger
man balances from London. French
francs sold down to around 1914
cents. German reichnarks held around
1858 cents.

Eight new smallpox cases were
reported today. The victims, all
colored, are confined to the small

FUR WAR GOES
GA|LY ON

Peace continues to rage furiously
at the convention of the Interna-
tional Fur Workers meeting at the
American Federation of Labor
Building.
Yesterdays meeting, while lacking
the excitement of the session Mon
day was punctuated with shouts of
Red" "ConSmunist" and threats to
have reealcitrant delegates elected
from the hall. The presence of two
plain clothes men somewhat relieved
the situation.
The war is the result of the
suspension of three New York locals
by the international for failure to
work in harmony with the parent
body.
This has caused the creation of
a ''left wing" at the convention and
from this wing. it is claimed, at.
tempts are being made to disrupt
the sessions here.
Joseph Berack, of Boston attorney
for the International yesterday
made charges that forces outside
