New York. Juno 4. The professional element of the stock exchange was taken by sur prise again today by fho display of pronounced strength nil through tho list, with many Issues making gains ranging from 1 to 4 points before a supply of substantial volume was met. This show ot strength was con sidered all the mure remarkable because of the Intense Interest attached not only to tho German submarine activities off tho American coast, but also to the developments on the French battlefront. Many of the steel Industrials were bought In unusually large blocks, with three firms alone taking over 50,000 shares of United States Steel common and helping advance tho price of that stock 2 points to 100 5s. Baldwin Locomotive In the early trading made a gain of 4 points to HOlj, and other steel Industrials followed with advances of 1 to 3 points. Strength was also shown In a number of specialties, with Industrial Alcohol moving up 4 points to 123, and Tobacco Products advanced 47, to 02. Gains of around 2 points were made In numerous other Issues. After midday trading became more orderly, the demand becoming less vigorous and recessions of around 1 point occurred In the leading stocks, from the highest level of the forenoon.. Heading was In good demand around midday, making a gain of more than 1 point, and there was a good demand for other railway issues. Including Union Pacific, St. Paul and Southern Railway. A feature of the trading was the accumulation of stocks generally by Important interests, the commission-house business being comparatively small. Marino Issues rallied and reacted frequently all through the day. There was heavy selling again today In the Liberty Issues, with the second 4s declining from 93.50 to the new low of 83.18, and the 4Hs fell from ?5.76 to the new low record of 85 32. l.V'4 40 19Vi 4 45 7(1 ',4 104 131 132 1S4M. 2 Am Steel Fdrv (1.1T4 ns A3X4 -"-1 Am Sugar . .10894 108 108i -r Vi Am Tel & Tel. ico.. no 99 Yi Am 'Wool . . . . 56 55 BSH do pref . . . 93t 93Ts 93 Am Zinc & Ld 10 10 1 H.

There was a fair attendance in brokers' board rooms, but they seemed to be) thero more for the purpose of obtaining early ticker reports regarding the hunting party the United States naval forces are having for German U-boats off the coast of the United" States than to deal in stocks. Every Item of news brought forth much discussion, but It had virtually' no effect on the prices for securities, as the Street continued to look upon ths visit of the Teuton submarines as of small consequence as far as It had to do with the prosecution of tho war by the enemy. Lake Superior Corporation was again the leader of home shares and ad vanced U to 1GU on mpderate trading, while tho remainder of the local list was generally neglected and business largely confined to small, odd-lot trans actions. Changes In prices, however, were In most cases inclined to higher levels. Electric Storage Battery advanced , Baldwin Locomotive was marked up 1V4 points, Reading scored a fair gain and Steel common passed par, gain. ng around 2 points. Pennsylvania Railroad was a trifle higher early In ths day, but later sold off, while Lehigh Valley and Buffalo and Susquehanna were unchanged. Tonopah Mining declined a fraction, Philadelphia Electric lost U, and Lehigh Navigation yielded . Union Traction and Tonopah-Belmont.tvera unchanged. Statements made at the hearing on the new transit lease before the Pub lic Service Commission in Harrlsburg to the effect that it would not be pos sible to profitably operate the high-speed lines In connection with the P. R. T. system with a five-cent fare, were discussed by traders and holders of the traction securities, but they had virtually no effect on the market for Rapid Transit certificates. Up to near the close not a single transaction In the certificates had been recorded and a single block salo came out at tho end at 25, -off U. Liberty Loan 4V4s reacted again and sold offJto the new low record price of 95.30. "Other Government Issues were comparatively i;ulet. Reserve Bank's Investment Earnings Gain Earnings from Investments of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadel phia in April were $212,440, a new high record. For 'the first four months of tho present year earnings from Investments aggregate $746, 1S1, which com pare with $169,583 for the same period of 1917. These earnings are not gross earnings as there are other sources of Income, and, of course, expenses have to be deducted" before arriving at net earnings. At the present rate of earnings from all sources, the Reserve Bank Is showing in the neighborhood of 40 per cent per annum on its capital, and when the board meets for dividend action It would not be surprising If dividends were paid up to June-30, 1918. The dividends are cumulative at the rate of 6 per cent per annum, and tho Reserve Bank has paid its dividends up to June 30, 1917. Reading Company directors were re-elected at the annual meeting today, Former Judge George Gray, of Wilmington, presided. Only a half dozen stockholders,jDUtslde of the officers of the company, were present. There were 2,061,875 shares voted. The number last year was 2,093,296, Outstanding shares total 2,800,000.

Thero was a quiet opening in the market for coffee futures, with call prices unchanged from ths previous close. The trade bid for mod erate lots, but offerings were scarce and no sales were reported. After the opening call, a moderate local demand caused a slightly firmer undertone with prices advancing 3 to 4 points. There was little selling pressure in evidence and the continued nrmnesj In the Brazil markets seemed to stimulate sentiment here, coupled with the facl that the submarine activities on this side of the Atlantic might influence importa tions, i The local spot demand was dull and prlcos were nominally unchanged, thi market being difficult to correctly quote, T"et.

The Allied Army in France is being tested to the utmost; off the shore of New Jersey the German submarine has taken its toll. This is not the time to be dismayed. Let us rather renew our patriotic resolve to stand firm until VICTORY crowns our efforts. The Fourth Liberty Loan will be offered in the Autumn. Why not prepare for it now? It is only through the strictest economy and sacrifice that the loans of our Government can be properly financed, and to aid and encourage such habits this Company has formed a Fourth Liberty Loan Association We are prepared to accept weekly payments in practically any amount and to pay a special rate of interest thereon, provided the pay ments and accumulations be used to purchase bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan. Full details will be furnished upon request. Commercial Trust Company Member of Federal Reserve System City Hall Square m&' p a 4 M lW .fj t&& ia MlW&w F. .I-... fV 1- ttv,t
