TEN-POINT JUMP IN
BETHLEHEM STEEL
83 Per Cent, of Missouri Pacific
Notes, luaiurniK j.uuuy, uu-
, posited for Extension.
NEW YOHIC, June L An was to be
expected, In 'view of the over-hotdlday
developments, the principal thing being the
German reply to the noto of rresldent
WlUon, which as regarded as distinctly
unsatisfactory and evasive, the stock
market opened tower today". There was
no preisure to cell and the liquidation
that appeared was very orderly, and
aU In the market acted very calmly. The
Initial losses were not largo and with
few exceptions were confined to fractions,
and they were small bb a rule.
Tho Street had not expected a, very
conciliatory reply from Germany, nnd
bo was not surprised by tho nature of It.
It had not been expected, however, that
the answer would bo nn evasive one, and
because of Its naturo some quarters re
carded the International situation aa very
acute Thero wns nn underground feci
trig however, that the differences be
tween the two Governments would fin
ally he adjusted without anything serious
occurring. That a vigorous reply should
be sent to the Kaiser's Government
seemed to be the general sentiment.
The market throughout tho early ses
sion was a waiting one. Virtually nil In
terest was centered on Washington for
the result of the Cabinet meeting, which
all members attended, nnd where two
things tho German noto and tho Mexican
situation wcro probably the two princi
pal topics of discussion. The noto to
Mexico has been prepared, It Is said, and
will probably be given out for publication
In th6 newspapers tomorrow.
After tho Cabinet meeting It was an
nounced that tho reply of President Wil
son to the German noto had been ap
proved, as had tho noto to Mexico, nnd
that the latter would bo given out at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning
Moro than J20.750.000. or 83 per cent of
the (25,000,000 6 per cent, notes of tho
Missouri-Pacific, have been deposited for
extension for one year. Tho company's
directors were In session for the greater
part of tho day, waiting, for tho re
mainder of the notes to come In, so that
they could declare the plan operative,
and pay the coupons or commission. Tho
company's stock was strong during tho
morning, but lost somo of the gain at
the end of tho day.
After tho early declines there wns a
good demand for stocks and tho market
became steady, but dull at the lower
levels. Most of tho buylnu orders had
been placed at prlco limits under Satur
day's close and sellers were compelled
o reach their bids. Nearly all of the
supply came from tho room traders At
one time Steel common was 1 down,
but It regained sonic of Its loss. Union
Pacific, selling ex-dlvldend, was off a
full point Bethlehem Steel lost 2 be
fore midday.
Throughout the afternoon thero was no
change In the dull conditions which ruled
during the latter pnrt of tho morning ses
sion, although tho market developed a
somewhat firmer tendency. News that
tho Interborough Metropolitan plan had
been declared effective caused strength in
both classes of the company's stock.
Thero wns a vigorous bidding up of
Bethlehem Steel In the last fow minutes
and that stock rose 10 points from the
,low. Crucible Steel also moved up over a
J point, while several other shares regained
their day's losses. -
In the line of routine news tho report
of the Government on the condition of
cotton wns the most Important. On May
3 It was 80 per cent of ,ormal, just 6.7
per cent above the same date last year.
It was also 0.5 above the 10-year average.
Crop reports were In tho main, favorable,
Snow's estimate, for Instance, placing tho
winter wheat crop at 669,000,000 bushols,
against 6S3.000.000 a year ago; spring
wheat. 2Sl,0O0,O00 bushels, an increase of
tl.400,000, oats Indicated crop; 1,277,000.000
bushels.

Little Pressure on Securities.
Pennsylvania Railroad Re
port Encouraging.
The chief effect of the German reply on
tho trading In securities lrt Philadelphia
nt the resumption of bualness this morn
ing was lo curtail activity. Except for
n certain amount of pressure against
United States Steel, which did not last
moro than an hour nr so, declines. If
any. In tho purely local group were con
fined for tho most part to minor frac
tions. Two reports of April earnings of In
terest to Phlladelphlana were the Penn
sylvania naltroad's statement and that
of tho Philadelphia Company. Thn form
or was distinct! encouraging, in so much
as It showed that the big system had
bacn able lo meet nil decreases in gross
with ease by curtailing expenses, so that
tho net returns of the lines cast and
west of Pittsburgh as a wholo showed
a gain of $479,532 over April of last year.
This wns nlso true of tho four monthB
period, which disclosed nn lncreaso of
$282,566
Incidentally It wns learned today from
usually well Informed sources that Mav
had shown even grentcr Improvement In
earnings owing lo the Increase In business
activity In the Knst Coke ovens are re
sumlng operations, steel plnnts havo ex
panded their output and contractors, who
do work for tho Pennsylvania, say that
the toad Is beginning to go ahead In mak
ing Improvements nil over Its lines, show
ing that the management Is hopeful for
tho future.
Tho PhllndelphW Company returns of
nmilatod corporations for April showed
for tho most part gross decreases trans
formed into net gnlns Tlili was par
ticularly true of the Pittsburgh nallwajs,
whero a loss in gross of 31,737 wns
changed to an Increase of no less than
$66,425 in net.
J6G.425 in not Philadelphia Company
stock moved up from 3lVi to 33 on light
purchases In tho afternoon
Und-of-thc-month tequlroments doubt
less wcro responsible for the drop of moro
than $7,000 000 In tho surplus reerves of
tho Philadelphia banks Tho Item still
stands high, however, being more than
$32.OCO,0CO Monetary conditions hero wcra
reported to he practically unchanged.

GRAIN SUFFERED
SHARP SETBACK
Largo Visible Supply of Wheat
and Frequent Raina Caused
Heavy Selling.
CHICAGO, June L The large visible
supply of wheat In Europe arid the fre
quent rains were the chief factors In a
heavy selling movement which developed
In tho early dealings today. June heal
opened at $1.32, a. two-cent drop from
Saturday's close. July wheat opened at
n. loss and sold as low as tliXM Sep
tember wheat showed the sama falling

As the day wore on these declines wera
extended somewhat further all around,
nnd oats also dropped sharply Septem
ber wheat closed at II 17U, niter selling
as low ns L16H, while July dropped to
UIOH and closed at (1.21.
A steady demand for all grains was.
however, noticeable during the morning,
one house buying 70,000 bushels of the
now June crop. Commission houses
proved rendy buyers of July wheat Corn
felt off In sympathy, largely with wheat
and oats
Temperatures over tho corn belt are
unseasonably low and too much rain has
been experienced recently to prove ad
vantagcous
rorclgn markets also showed declines
as a result of satisfactory weather condl
tlons Shipments to the United Kingdom
from India have been liberal and appro
ciabla arrivals are expected.
Europe's visible supply of wheat for
this week Is estimated at 87,704,000 bush
els against 92,952,000 bushels of last week
a decrease of 5,200,000. Last week's de
crcaso was 1,752,000 bushels.
Italy's crop condition is officially re
ported as medium to good. The forecast
Is for a yield over that of last year
Harvest expectations for Northern A"
rlca are excellent
Tho weekly grain shipments from North
America were 6,091,030 bushels of wheal,
of which 1,872,000 bushels went out as
flour, Canadla shipping 1,169,000 bushels,

War Time Investments
During periods of uncer
tainty many investors wish
to keep their funds liquid
and at the same time take
full advantage of the attrac
tive income returns from
sound securities unusual con
ditions made possible. Be
cause of this attitude on the
part of investors many of
the strongest corporations
have issued short-time notes
which are thoroughly safe
guarded, do not fluctuate
appreciably in price and
yield from 5 to 7. A
number of short-time notes
of this kind are described
in our Circular No. 226 which
will be sent on request.
