Continental Can Makes New
High Mark Rails Are
Heavy.
After day of excited tradirwr. dur
ing wWoJi ateel lseuee, particularly
Bethlehem and United1 State Steel,
advanced to new Mgn records, the
stock market receded allghtly before
the close ttte ftfterrroen, but dosed
strong and active.
The briskness of, the trading is
shown by the faot that 12,t40 share
ot stock chnnjred hand an compared
with a trading yesterday of 671,040.
The greatest advances camo In the
early trading, but this rise vanished
In the early afternoon, when the
beam becamo decidedly aggTeasIve.
The advance, however, waa reumod
later on pool 'operations in leading
railroad Issues and a drive against
the short Interests In Steel.
Bethlehem Steel, closing last night
around 290, noared again to-day on a
wild speculative movement, reaching
a new high water mark of 307 and
then receding to 301, at which It
closod. United Btates Steel advanced
an high as 73 1-3 and closed at 721-4,
the hlgheat figure It ha reached In
years.
Crucible Steel,. which has been fol
lowing the leaders, went to 79 and
closed at 78 on a report that It had
on Its books tCO.OOO.OOO worth of war
order and, that the warring Govern
ment were prepared to rejjeat these
orders Immediately the company elgnl
fled a wtllngnees to accept them.
Hailroads and Industrials shared In
the general, advances, all closing up
from i to 5 points.
Unrestrained specufatlon with little
authentic Information on whloh to
Imse such a rise, hue Ixten the cause
of tho amaslug advance In the Beth
lehem shares. This is also true of the
other war munitions stocks. There
has .been, of course, general Informa
tion that Uettilehem Steel had re
ceived very large war orders, with
large profits to come, but there baa
been a marked absence of official
flrures from tho company Itself
Nevertheless there seems to be an
expectation of large dividends, and
speculative fever has run high.
Similar reports of great profits to
be derived from selling munitions ot
war have lifted many stocks from
comparative obscurity to record pop
ularity. Crucible Steel has advanced
from 17 nt the outbreak of tho war
to 79: New York Air Brake from t5
to 116, Westlnghouse Electric, 62 to
112; American Locomotive, l!t to 6H,
American Can, 19 to 59
One of the startling examples of
rise Is to be found in the stock of
Electric Hoat on the curb. The stock
of this company, which builds sub
marines, sold before the war at about
is. On the reoent rise it touched 430.
