The feature after the first decline was Strength of July. The price quiokt.i tallied from the initial break to 32.00 selling up to H2.S0 before the end of the! first hour or forty points above last' night' closing figures This wa ac TUOIIT money was blamed etonIa for the decline in prices on the (.took -- eilmnge. Rut this explanation did not seem satisfactory, and a a consequence there were two prevailing opinions among brokers at the close. One of these was that the market wa going still lower, and the other that the drop was only a erj temporary reaction and tint todni the trend would be upward. Some of the lending rails showed a slight tendency to a higher let el, nnd broker attributed this to iiimor that Washington had decided to return the mads to Hie original owner on August 1. without government guarantees, but this was Inter denied. There were :i few who said in or plnnotion of the inne.isc m rail price tliut it was time for them to Iuim a "whirl." Those who predicted that the signing of the pence trentv would bring a sudden rie in the stock mirket seemed ratlirr disappointed, but there were ninny who had predicted that the mnikrt muld he counted on alas to do the unexpected liond houses as n nilo claimed to be bur The nnniger of one of the largest of these conieins remaiked that the bond wanted were not available Natural there was n gieat deal of di-cusion mer the sale of the S12,000,0(M1 issue (,f state of Ponnsi Ivanh bonds on Monday and no end of figuring as to how much profit or lather how little piofit the successful sndicnte would hine on the tinnnction It is evident. een from tlie lowest bid, that profit wa the lnnst of the considinntions nnohed. The lepresentntite of one of the l,irget imttment concern in the I nited States, who was successful in the punhase of a rer'nt issue of Philadelphia city bonds, said one effect the bidding for the stnt bonds had accomplished was to raise the price of cerv municipal bond in the state. It is expected that the $12,000.0(1(1 ii-siio of state bond will bo sold yen quicklv, as a banker pointed out that, at the price mouc is command inc. tne rmrerence between the yield and the earning charges would admit oi notning else.

Baldwin's Meeting Attracts Interest There are many who are looking forward to the meeting of Baldwin directoi on Friday It i said that special plans for reorganization arc to be considered and peihap pissed upon. The recent activity iu the stock has influenced a good many to believe there i even a posjbilit. of a stock diwdond There arc jut a many more who regard the minors about Baldwin's as nothing more than a revival of the old, old story about locapitalbation. A stated before in thi column, there is no otncul news available, and under the circumstances such was to be expected. Those who base their opinions on the possibility of a dividend claim that the behaior of the stock poentlv. coupled with the persistent rumors, indi cates something i brewing, and the outcome will be the announcement after Friday's meeting of either a diiiiond or a stock distribution. As no decision has jet been huuded down In the Supreme Court on the matter of the taxa bility of stock dhidonds. this may delav anv decision by the directors until the opinion of the Supremo Court is axailable, but It is posib!e that in that event some means would be taken to couev to the shareholder that faor ab'.c action is awaiting Phort-term notns were active, with a 'lightly larger turnover in this department than has been noted dining the last week American Tobacco 7s weie quoted at lOO1 104. and Uetjilehem Steel nt from 100 to 1021,.
