Tho sensational gyrations of Cramps'
Shipbuilding shares overshadowed all elso
on tho Philadelphia Stock Exchftngo to
day. Tho Initial Jump came In response
to the story that the Bethtehcm Steel
Company was negotiating for a lease of
some of tho company's plant, which was
confirmed In part by Cramp olUcials. but
denied by Charles M. Schwab. New
lork and Boston houses were tho chief
buyers of tho Btock of lato and also
today, and the Inference was that tho
united Fruit and Atlantic Gulf and West
Indies Steamship Companies might bo in
volved In tho deal.
As to tho terms of tho lease, If It is ar
ranged, one man's guess In as good as
another's. Thoso who buy Cramp shares
now are merely gambling on what is to
turn up. Tho price Is at the blithest nnlnf
slnco some years before tho Drexels took
over tho company from tho old Cramp
management, but earnings are understood
to be running abovo 10 per cent, on tho
stock, tho par value of which is $100, so
that there Is ample room for further im
provement If dividends are to bo re
stored. At one time it paid ns high na IS
per cent, per annum. The stock used ti
sell around and above TO. Today It opened
at 49, against 46H, last night's close, nnd
rushed up by half-point leaps to above
54 before prodt-taklng sales checked tho
rise. Meantlmo llothlehem Steel was
bounding upward in Wall Street.
A published denial by Charles M.
bcnwiit) that any negotiations wero in
progress between Bethlehem nnd Crnnlps
was followed by n quick reaction In tho
latter stock In tho afternoon, tho price
falling back nearly Ovo points from the
morning high level. Ono Interesting de
velopment was tho withdrawal of a block
of 6000 shares, which had been listed to
be sold at public auction tomorrow.
Another Btrong nnd ' o feature was
Lnko Superior, which ri, s nbovc 9 after
opening at S. Tho Incomes Jumped 2'A
points. Unltcd States Steel and other
usual leaders did very little. Kcystono
Telephone made no response to tho May
report of earnlngB, which showed a gain
of $2713 In gross and 12381 In net. The
surplus waa (32,375, nn Increase of 167f.
For tho five months tho surplus was
$148,991, an Increase of $2390 over tho
corresponding period last year.
The vetoing of tho bill Introduced nt
Harrlsburg to enable Btrcet railway com
panies to operate Jitney services If they
so desired failed to affect tho local trac
tion securities. In fact Union Traction
scored a slight fractional advance, and
Philadelphia Traction rose a point on an
odd lot purchase. There was a drop of 11
dollar in York Railways, while Philadel
phia Company cumulative preferred rose
a similar amount. Pennsylvania Salt
cased off after announcement was mado
that note Issuo was to bo sold to fund
certain debts.
Tho stock transfer tax bill became a
law In this State today with the affixing
of tho Governor's signnturo to the Wil
son House bill Imposing a tax of two
cents on each $100 face value on all stock
transfers. Whether this will have a re
strictive effect upon tho volume of bus
iness on tho locnl exchange remains to
bo seen. When markets aro active with
wide fluctuations, as for Instnnce occurred
hero today, traders care little about tho
additional charge, but In dull times they
are more apt to count their pennies. A
transfer tax has been In force In New
York for some time and docs not appear
to havo materially checked the volume
of sales.
