Dulness on Fears of Conscription by
Government.
LONDON, -May 20. Fears that tho
Government would resort to conscription
caused dulness on tho Stock Exchange
today. Gllt-edgcd Issues were steady,
with a fair demand from Investors. A
fresh unsettlement among- tho workers
was responsible for an easier tone In
homo rolls, and the group was dull.
The feeling In Americans was reserved,
and trading was narrow, with price
changes fractional. Canadians were dull.
A tlrm tone prevailed In Argentine rails,
due to good earnings. Foreigners were
neglected. Russians dropped'On unfavor
able war news. There was realizing in
oil shares. Mines were Inactive. The

BUOYANCY IN BALDWIN
ON HOPE OF BIG ORDERS
United Railway Investment Is
sues Depressed Local Stock
List Generally Firm.
A sharp ndvanco of nearly four points
In Baldwin Locomotive common was tho
outstanding feature of tho early dealings
on tha Philadelphia Exchange today.
Otherwise tho trading lacked snap, nnd
about tho only active Issue was United
States Steel. The rise In Halthvln wus.
of course, accompanied by predictions of
very large war orilais, but tho lent lcason
doubtless lay more nearly In tho fact
that the Pcnnijlvniila Hatlroad's loco
motive order Is believed to bo tho fore
runner of a large expansion In domestic
demand.
Steel circles heard that the Baldwins
were In the market for 5000 tons Of shrap
nel steel which would mean ah order
amounting to about 8.300,00O. Officials
of tho company, however, lefused to
make any comment on the rumor.
The general local list displayed a firm
aspect with fractional gains In United
Gas Improvement, Union Traction, Rend
ing, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia Elec
tric. Cramps Shipbuilding shares failed
to respond to the news ot tho plating
of nn order for two good-sized, modern
passenger steamers for tho Mexican
Navigation Company. Tho amount of tho
contract Is said to bo JSOO.000. There was
a two-point drop In BufTolo and Susque
hanna. Cambria Steel fluctuated errati
cally, at ono time being down a point
below last night, it subsequently rallied,
however. Only odd lots changed hands.
'I he botui uopiirtmcnt whs relatively
more nctlve than stocks. United Hall
nay Investment 6s fell 2 points dcsplto
thc fact that they nro dependant 011 tho
Philadelphia Company for their Inter
est nnd not upon tho Frisco systom.
Incidentally Philadelphia Company slook
was offored down to 31. Pennsylvania
aencrnl 4',s, when iBsued, were briskly
bought and so were tho 4Ws of 1960. Cam
bria Steel scrip also continued to display
buoyancy.

The foreign wheat slirnllia available 4n
tho United Kingdom, up to July 31, wltuflj
nverase per weeK 8,580,000 bushels roundly,

bushels from tha United States and. Can
ada, and 1,200,000 bushels from India. Jlus.

If the full quantity available Is shipped,
English reserves will show n, material in

thnt Cannda nnd Argentine will ship out
