Wild Day in Wall Street General Motors Hits New
High Alcohol and Copper Stocks
Soar Time Money Firmer
NEW TOnK, Sept. 28.
The speculators In the war stocks today utterly tllsreRtirded the Indifference
of foreign markets. The brokers specializing In them professed to believe that
a great decisive victory had been won. One of the more candid of them
Insisted this morning, however, thnt it mmlo no difference whether or not
tho Allies advanced. "No matter how the battle turns out," he said, "any
body with half an eye cafi bco that they are consuming benzol, Toluol, alcohol,
powder, copper, Bteel and Iron wlth an extravagance previously unknown."
Tho war houses were clogged with business. Executl6n of the orders
was the more difficult from tho fact that most of them were for small amounts.
Odd lot orders wore exceptionally large. Not only have these houses lind
more orders than ever before In tho two market days of this week, but the
demand has come from a far greater number of customers thah"ever before.
Speculators In the Industrials paid no nttentlon to the Missouri, Kunsus
and TexnB receivership, but the rails clearly felt the "influence of this un
favorable development. Most of the standard Issues lagged far behind the
pace set by tho industrial group.
Baldwin Locomotive was the bright particular star, with a Jump of about
60 points to a new high record. General Motors advanced to the accompani
ment of reports that tho company Is negotiating for control of tho Peerless
Motor Car Company of Cleveland. The company makes autotrucks that are
readily salable for war purposes. Baldwin fell back some 20 points from the
best at the close.
With the general average market quotation for Industrial stocks mak
ing new high records dally and wllh the volume of sales on the Stock Exchange
reaching the proportions of tho biggest of bull markets, conservative brokers
are beginning to advise their clients to obsere cxtrcmo caution in making
market commitments, especially In the so-called wnr specialties. The banks,
too, are scrutinizing -collateral with extreme care and requiring exceptionally
large margins, particularly on tho Industrial Issues. To this, as well as to
the fact that the railroad shares havo so far scarcely felt the Impetus of the
genera) advance elsewhere, Is due tho advice of many of the best houses to
new clients that If they wish to get Into such an excited market the most
conservative course is to turn to the rnils.
Tho results of these suggestions have been noticeable In the last few das
in the decided expansion In dealings In tho more conservative securities. The
end of tho month also has brought about a revlxal of interest in bonds. In
the last St hours, however, n firmer tendency In money rates has become notice
able, a phenomenon scarcely to be wondered nt. In fact. It seems Btrange
that tho monetary situation haa not stiffened before, In view of the big move
ment in crops and the heavy trading on the arlous stock and grain exchanges.
Lenders of funds are less willing to make accommodations on war Issues, and
borrowers nro being compelled to pay U to of 1 per cent, above the rates
previously current. Some transactions were reported today In the six months'
maturity as high as 3i and 4 per cent, on all industrials. In the case of the
usual mixed collateral the- rate ruled around 3 per cent. Commercial paper
remained virtually unchanged.
The market at the opening was again one of war specialties, and many
of these stocks made further violent advances at tho opening and In the early
trading, causing Inactivity In what has been regarded as the general list. The
heaviest dealing vas In Baldwin Locpmotlvc, which, on the rumors of chang
ing control, was In vigorous demand, advancing, as already stated, to a new top.
Industrial Alcohol on continuous buying, based on statements In regard to war
orders, made a gain of seven points or more, nnd Distillers Securities rose about
four points. The minor steel industrials were active and strong at tho
opening, substantial gains being made In Pressed Steel Car, Great Northern
Ore, Colorado Fuel and Republic Iron and Steel, with the usual recessions
resulting from profit-taking sales after tho opening gains. Copper shares
were also in good demand ns a result of the rise In tho price of the metal.
Sales during the opening hour were 400,000 shnres again today, nnd tho
trading was more excited oven than yesterday. General Motors made a new
high, up 12 or more, and a gain of 30 points In two days. Altls-Chalmers
stocks were strong, as were American Locomotive, American Car and Foundry
and Tennessee Copper.
v Tho buying of Baldwin Locomotive created the Impression that there
might be competition for control. National Lead was also well taken be
cause of the large earnings of tho United States Cartridge Company, a
subsidiary, which has received Important war orders.
Assail Minneapolis Reserve Bank
WASHINGTON, Sept. .28. That John Burke, Treasurer of the United States,
has assailed the administration of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank, charg
ing tho bank with failure to properly acquaint tho Northwestern farmers with
Its facilities for discounting their commercial paper, and had thereby enabled a
combination of national bankeia and grain operators to depress the price of
wheat from $1.40 to 79 cents a bushel by refusing reasonable discount rates, was
admitted by Burke today.
Burke's admission camo close on the heels of a rumor that the Federal Re
serve Board waH planning to eliminate the Minneapolis Bank. Inquiry of mem
bers of the Federal Reserve Board brought out the Information that no such
plan was being considered, and that while the Minneapolis Bank was not an
"active" bank. It was thoroughly acceptable to the board.
Anglo-French Loan to Run Five Years
It Is understood tho Anglo-French loan will bo for $500,000,000. It xvllt be In
the. form of a Joint note, carrying B per cent. Interest. The notes will run for
five years. At the end of five jcars the notes will be convertible Into a IB to 25
year Joint 4 percent bond. Tho bond Is to be redeemable at the option of the
British and French Governments at tho end of IB years, and If not so redeemed
to run for 25 years. The Joint notes, It Is said, will be offered to the public at 98.

Local Bid and Asked
Speculation has become almost aa ram,
pant in Philadelphia of late as In New
York. The fact that this city Is figur
ing largely In a aeries of the biggest
deals promulgated since the day of thu
formation of tho United States Bteel Cor
poration hns act the local financial dis
trict In n whirl. Tips are rampant "Buy
anything that In the remotest manner is
connected with the equipment and sup
ply of the belligerent nations" Is the
slogan, and co far those who followed
this brond suagestton have made money
Nevertheless, the very violence of the
rise should breed caution. While ordere
Mtid earnings may well have Justified tho
upruh in some Issues, there haa, o
course, been a steady liquidation In

whereas nbout the scarcest tltlnir In tn
financial district todny la a bear. This
means a weak technical condition.
Wheir there nre only a few shorts to
cover the market la apt to prove ex

jump 10 and IB points In a day can also
drop Just as fast at any time.

doubtless, to a great extent hns counter
acted the Increase In Investment liquida

few day. The sale of the Mldvale Steel
Company, the stock of which never has
appeared on the market, being held by
only a few families, la a conorote In
stance of how tho old Investor regards
the present boom as more of an oppor
tunity to cash In a good profit than to
buy speculative Issues at unprecedent

Cambria Steel and Baldwin continued
to dominate the trading today. The
former, howeer, was not able to reach
Its latest top price, whereas the latter
made another sensational Jump of some

of these Issues nro relatively easy to
manipulate, as there Is a comparatively
small amount of floating stock, Presum-
