ACCUMULATION IN MARINE ISSUES
SENDS PREFERRED TO NEW HIGH MARK
Stock Advances Five Points Bulk of Buying for Amer
ican International Corporation Movements in
ya. - Leading Rails and Industrials Irregular
NKW YORK, April 29.
Important financial Interests concentrated their attention today to the cdn
Untied accumulation of Marino Issues and tho preforred stock1 held first place
In the market movements all through tho two hours of trading. The advance
of 5 points in tho first hour, carrying the prlco to above 90, tnado the preforred
sell at a now high record.
No news camo out while this buying was In progress, but thoso having most
to do with handling tho buying orders admitted that the bulk of tho stock was
taken for tho American international Corporation, and they. Intimated strongly
that tho corporation will bo found to havo a quiet control of tho International
Morcanttto Marino Company.
It Is known that meetings of the various committees are being held dally,
but no announcement of tho results of theso meetings has yet been made. What
ever statement comes will bo Issued by tho Preferred Stockholders' Commlttco,
and, according to Information from high sources, any ptan now proposed by, that
commlttco will be approved by tho representatives of tho common stockholders.
It Is said that there Is easily 10 points more of an, upwnrd movemont In tho
common stock to bo based on anticipated developments, tho expectation being
that tho preferred will cost par.
Thero wore somo other specialties which were forced Into prominence, among
them Maxwell Motors common, which roso more than C points. Outslilo of theso
specialties tho movements In tho leading railroads and Industrials wore Irregular,
with tho room traders selling somo of these Btocks at intervals becauso of tho
belief that tho Usual Saturday liquidation would give them a chnncu to cover
at a profit.
Thoro was no outside supply, however, and tho few concessions which woro
recorded In tho half day reflected nlmply theso traders ventures.
Bull leaders express themselves as well satisfied with tho wuy tho market
acted, especially Reading and tho copper stocks, and tho fact that theso loading
stocks woro hold In restraint was regarded as giving them a bettor foundation
for another upward movement In the coming week.

WHEAT STEONGER
ON GOOD DEMAND
Lower Temperatures in Spring
Belt Cause Fear for
Seeding '
CHICAGO, April 29. Thero was a
fairly good demand for wheat this morn
ing on lower temperatures In tho spring
wheat bolt, and the market was stronger.
Fears were renewed that seeding, already
very backward, would not bo completed.
May opened at $1.13 to 31.13? and
sold up to S1.14&, against $1.13 at tho
end yesterday. July started at J1.1B14
to 1 1 . 1 5 14 and rose to $1.15i, compared
with J1.14T4 at the close yesterday, and
September started at $1.16 to fl.4 and
moved up to $1.15, cotitrns.'ed with
$1.14, yesterday's last -prlco. Thero
were somo recessions from the top to
ward the end of the first half hour.
Expectations of smaller world's ship
ments to the United States for tho week
and a firmer tono at Winnipeg helped the
market at Liverpool. Conditions for plant
ing In Argentina were declared to be
excellent and tho area there will be larger
than that of last year. Great difficulty Is
still being experienced In forwarding
wheat from that country.
The receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth
today were 143 cars against 103 cars last
year; at Chicago 141 cars, compared with
162 cars; at Winnipeg 653 cars, contrasted
with 153 cars,
Corn was a little firmer In sympathy
with a better tone at Liverpool, covering
by recent sellers and strength In Argen
tine freight rates, The receipts hero to
day were 154 cars,
Ontn, a ftcrshowlng somo Irregularity,
became uniformly firmer. It Is believed
that the area In Argentina will show good
Increases over that of a year ago. The
receipts hero today were 27C cars.

REDMOND PRAISED
Ireland Is Too Prosperous to
Lend Herself to Dangerous
Separatist Movement
By FRANCIS W. HIRST
R neclat Cable lo Evenlno Ledger
LONDON. April 20. Ireland Is tho
home of surprises. The Inst Is unplens.
nut, but according to the Stock Exchange
baromctor tho city does not take It very
seriously.
Thero nlwnya has been an operatic a)r
nbout tho Sinn Fein, which probably ac
counts for the cxccsilvo optimism In Dub
Mil Castle. Cortnlnly our stock market
has been dull nnd lifeless since tho hull
days, but tho final repulse of the Oermnn
attacks nt Verdun Is felt to more than
outweigh tho dlsngrcenblo news from
Dublin and tho prolonged Cnli'net crisis,
Ireland, I think, Is too prosperous to bo
widely nnd dnngcrottily rebellious. In
170S tho situation was very different, Itc
llglous. political and economic oppression
caused cruol grievances which no longer
exist, and thousands of I'rotostnnta were
revolutionaries. Tho rebolllon then wni
led by nobles, priests nnd I'rotcstant
squires. My lieliof Is that tho present
ebullition should subside quickly under
firm treatment. The sensible speeches of
Redmond and Carson are a good omen,
French exchange Is recovering under the
salutnry Influence of n strong doso of gold
shipped from Paris.
American Bharcs nro better, thanks to
moro favorablo reports ns to your labor
disputes.
Scandinavia Is now the most prosperous
part of Kurope. Reports thence Indlcato
much depression In llerniany.
As to our Cabinet crisis, tho shuffling
of the political cards might brliig somo
fresh and useful men Into tho administration.

GERMANS ADMIRE
SPIRIT OF QUAKERS
Exchanged Prisoner Tells How
Good They Are to Those Held
in British Camp
BERLIN, April 29. In nn nrtlclo In tho
Berliner Tnireblatt n German who was an
interned civil prisoner In .1 British con
centration camp, but was exchanged and
returned to Germany, describes tha relief
work given by the British Society of
Friends to Imprisoned Germans In Great
Britain.
"Tho Quakers first appeared nt the con
ccntratlon camps In October, 1914," says
tho Ovorseast News Agency summary of
the article. "They visited Individually all
tho prisoners and made records of tho
destitute families left by them, and nil
these families received help from the
Friends, tho society also providing em
ployment to such prisoners as were re
leased. "The Quakers furnished books and re
views to the camps, and held lectures,
which, however, were soon prohibited by
the British authorities. Thoy also pro
vided transportation for those allowed
to return homo, and distributed food
and clothing among destitute Germans
who had been left nt liberty, but being
without employment wero unable to pro
vide for themselves. Becords wero kept
of all these families, and the children in
them received milk nnd healthful food.
A woman physician was charged with
tho care of children and of women who
wero lit. The Quakers also Invited des
tltue persons of alien birth Into their
homes and treated them there with
cordiality and with the utmost tact.
'The German writer expresses the
highest admiration for the spirit of Chris
tian love shown by members of the So
ciety of Friends,"

City Will Dig Turning Basin in Front
of Port Richmond Elevators
"Work will be started Monday morn
ing on the digging of a turning basin In
front of the Tort Richmond export ele
vators of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company. This work will ex
tend from Dyott street to just below Cam
bria street.
Shipping Interests have felt the need
of a deeper channel In this vicinity for
a long time, but as thero was no Fed
eral appropriation to do this work, which
Is under the Jurisdiction of the Federal
Government, nothing was done. During
the last Administration at a conference
between city and Federal officials It was
arranged for the city to dig thla basin.
Assistant Director Hasskarl, of the De
partment of Wharvest Docks and Ferries,
said yesterday that tiro work would prob
ably be completed by the middle of July.
The contract has been let to the Bowers
Southern Dredging Company at 87.45
cents a cublo yard. The channel In this
part of the river wll be dug 33 feet deep
and a width of 300 feet. At present only
I75.000 is available for the work.

NEW YORK. April 29. On the Span
ish steamer Alfonso 5HH. known to Ber
muda tourists as the old Oceana, which
arrived yesterday from Barcelona and
Cadiz, werej Georges Georgopolus, a.
Greek ship owner, and Reprlner de
Faigher, who said she was a Belgian
Countess. Her relationship to Georgo
polus caused an Inquiry, and she was
taken to Ellis Island for a hearing.

Edward A Steiner. an Immigrant; and

Sv. Wbeaton, ot tha Department of the In

SLIGHT LET-UP IN BOND BUSINESS;
PRICES NOT MATERIALLY CHANGED
Securities Not Pressing for Sale From Any Quarter.
Estimates of Europe's Inquiries for Steel Range
From 250,000 Tons Upward
There wan a slight let-up In the demand
for bonds during the last week, although
prices were not materially changed, only
fractional recessions hnvlng been Indi
cated throughout the list. Bond houses
reported a steady day's business, but there
was no noticeably urgent request for large
amounts of either bonds or short-term
notes.
At the closa of the week quotations
wero somowhat easier for certain Issues,
ntthough It war stated that securities
were not pressing for salo from any quar
ter. Kntlmntes In steel circles of the tonnage
Inquired for by Europe ranges from 250,
000 tons upward, with the average nbout
300,000 tons. It Is stated by some of the
best authorities that tho steel Is wanted
for munitions and tho only drawback Is
the fact that mills In this country Are
booked so far In advance that It will Jie
Borne tlmo before deliveries can be made.
In addition, the domestlo business Is
growing larger each week and will absorb
moro of tho capacity of the makers than
heretofore, which will prevent the booking
of all the business offered unless the- ship
ments are spread over n long period, ex
tending far Into the new year. .
Opinions In railroad as well as sterjk
circles are that the transportation com
panics In this country may reasonably bo
oxpected to bo kept busy during the com
ing months with freight trafric, and this
will have Its effect on cars and locomo.
tlves, as well ns the rails, Replacements
will be large within tho next year cr lw,
it Is believed, and the orders being placed
by the roads bear out these views, a
Virtually all tho contracts call for dellv
crlc late this year and In 1917
While there has been talk In some cir
cles that the top mark In prices, as tvell
as business In steel, has been reached, or
at least Is being approached, there nro
many of the beat authorities In the trado
who do not share this view.
On the Philadelphia Slock Exchange, In
the two-hour session today, Tonopah Bel
mont was again tha most active Issue, ad
vancing to 6, to a new high mark
for this year, more than 10,000 shares
changing hands before the close. Tonopah
Mining waa up Vi. The activity In Bql
mont was caused by the further advance
In tho price of bar sliver, Tho advanoo
In the price of tho white metal means
very much to Belmont, which has 1,000,
000 ounces stored. Tonopah Mining has
000,000 ounces, and Jim Butler has 400,
000 ounces.
Price movements throughout the general
local list wero Irregular. Reading was
weak In sympathy with n downward turn
, In the Now York market, as wa.s Baldwin
.J,ehlRh Valley Transit common gained
a half. Electric Storage lost U point.
Philadelphia Electric moved up fraction
ally, as did the Traction Issues.
