Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, May 15.-The stock
market swung up and down like a
roller coaster today in the most ac-
tive dealings since the first flush of
the war-boom last September.
Transfers Appropriated 1000 900
shares, almost half q million more
than yesterdays boiling decline.
The close was mixed, with steel,
motor and aircraft shares holding
gains, while leaders in many other
departments ended unchanged or
lower.
A last-hour selling wave put the
tape behind for the second time dur
ing the session, an abrupt opening
decline had been checked by a
quick selling drive that left many
floor traders gasping at the sudden
ness of the turn.
The fall in stocks conceded with a
late generalization in wheat prices
at Chicago, with quotations down
the 10-cent price limit in some de-
liveries. Corn ended 2ss to 31s cents
a bushel lower.
Up fractions to 3 points or so were
Bethlehem Steel, General Motors,
Douglas, Glenn Martin, Lockheed,
General Electric and American Air
lines. Du Pont gained about S.
Lower by few cents to as much
as S points were other leaders, in
cluding ]. I. Case, Eastman, South.
ern Railway, Kennecott, Anaconda,
Montgomery Ward, Western Union
and American Smelling.
Sherwin Williams and Montgom-
cry Ward "A" were wide losers in the
Curb but Aluminium of America held
the better part of gain that ran
to nearly 13 points at one time.
The pound sterling in midafter.
noon was up Z cents, holding to the
higher course it set from the start.
The bond market was generally cas-
ier than stocks. but had its strong
points. German bonds we're higher,
but most foreign loans were heavy.
The morning about-face was one
of the most rapid shifts in market
currents Wall Street has seen in
many months.
Du Pont, down nearly 2 points
at the opening, swung to q gain OF
6 in a few minutes. The buying
orders were so numerous and offers
so few in Bethlehem Steel that
trading in those shares was sus-
pended for several minutes and
the services Of a governor of the
exchange were necessary to get
matters Strengthened out.
Wheat dealings in the Chicago pit
showed nearly as abrupt a reversal.
Oh as much as 8 cents bushel at
the start, within matter of minutes
1t had cut the drop more than half.
The first hour dealings in stocks,
more than 100000 shares, was the
largest since September S, and the
ticker tape Jagged as much as 8
minutes behind transactions on the
floor.

said A. w. Robertson, chairman,
and G, H. Bucher. president, in the
annual report. Undoubtedly busi-
ness was stimulated by that cause"
But Robertson and Bucher added:
I'VE believe that good business
will be maintained in the coming
months whether the war abroad
continues or not. This viewpoint is
shared by many business leaders
and economists.
"A healthy sign is the widespread
basis of the recovery. as indicated
by sales. Our business in every line
is better"
Westinghouse for 1899 reported
net income of sl3,854,365, equal
after allowing for participating
provisions of the preferred stock to
$51S a share on the common. This
compared with $9,052,773, or 1888
a common share, in 1898.
Incoming orders in 1899 topped
the preceding year by 43 per cent.
