NEW YORK, May 18 lR.-Bullish
demonstrations in the high priced in
dustrials, particularly Baldwin and
General Motors, which led list of two
dozen new highs, contrasted with the
weakness of several specialtieS in to-
DAYS mixed stock market. On the
whole, spectators for the advance re-
tained the upper hand. Easy money
rates were again an important factor,
call money dropping to per cent after
renewing at Al.
The DAYS news was mixed in char
acter. The weekly steel trade reviews
reported that production and consump-
ton were being maintained in fairly
heavy volume for this season OF the
year, the Iron Age reporting current
output of about per cent above that
of year ago. A drop in crude oil pro-
duction last week was attributed to the
Seminole field. Passing of the Glidden
company dividend apparently was un-
expected and the stock dropped to
new low at 151a.
Although railroad equipment COM
panies have received some substantial
orders lately, the sharp rise in Baldwin,
which jumped 734 points today to a
new top at 214$4, was still somewhat of
a mystery. American Locomotive,
American Car and Foundry and West
inghouse Air Brake all reached new
high ground, but failed to maintain all
their gains.
Stock market sponsors for General
Motors tried hard to push that stock
up through the 200 goal set some time
ago, but the best they could do was to
touch l99, up AS net. 1t was reported
at one time that $4,000 shares were
offered between 1919 and, 200. Total
sales of Baldwin since Saturday have
run well over 100000 shares, the out
standing capital stock of the company.
Today's sales alone felix just below
10000. General Motors sales today ran
close to 125,000 shares.
Among the many new highs IN the
industrial list were Case Threshlng,
which was run up over IA points to
2O7: Laclede Gas, control of which has
passed to the Utilities Power and Light
company, and international Harvester.
u. S. Rubber sank below SO.
Pittsburgh and West Virginia was
the outstanding feature in the rail
group, soaring to new peak at lao
and then easing to 1862, up II points
on the day. Union Pacific, Reading

Colorado and Southern and Chicago
and Eastern Illinois preferred also
broke through their previous top prices.
At the close of the market today, the
average of both the 20 leading indus
trials and 20 leading rails was III new
high ground.
A sharp advance Of 2 cents or SO
bushel in wheat futures and another
squirt in cotton shared interest in the
commodity markets.
