MOTORS LEADERS
IN FINAL TRADING
Many Shares Highest for Day
as Wall Street List Closes
Strong.
BY STI ART P. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 27. —The succes
sion of new high prices which has
been a feature of the Stock Exchange
dealings recently, continued today. It
took in numerous industrials, includ
ing several preferred stocks, one or
two of the public utilities and a num
ber of specialties. The market kept
active and generally strong, with out
side interest apparently on the in
crease.
The principal advances of the day
occurred in stocks where it takes very
•little buying to put prices up. La
dede Gas jumped 10 points on the
sale of a single 100 shares.
International Telephone and Tele
graph rose with considerable violence
no the publication of the annual re
port. which disclosed over $lB earned
in 1924. Westinghouse Air Brake was
bid up briskly, and the rise in Beech
nut revived reports of a possible
merger with the Postum Co. Also
there was talk of a stock dividend.
.Smelting Grosses Par.
American Smelting was very strong,
crossing par again and advancing
rapidly. The fact that it was not ac
companied by any general move in the
coppers and other related shares, sug
gested a special explanation. The
market has for some time been hear
ing about a larger distribution, quite
possibly in stock.
Central Leather preferred ran up
over 2 points, and there was special
buying in Owens Bottle. The list of
new high records included Phillip
Morris, Consolidated Cirgar, the Max
well Motors issues, Ahumador Lead.
American Water Works, Eaton Axle,
Paige-Detroit, Spear & Co., Interna
tional Cement and Marlin-Rockwell. ]
Among the regularly more active I
shares Studebaker and Hudson Motor |
distinguished themselves with new
tops for the year. Goodyear preferred
was up some 4 points.
New Motor Shares Taken Up.
Other motor shares were in demand,
among them Chandler and Moon.
Stewart-Warner ran up on talk of an
extra dividend.
In the railway section Northern Pa
cific was strong, and Chesapeake and |
Ohio at one stage was selling 2 points
higher. But as a rule the rails were
comparatively neglected.
A noteworthy exception to the
strength shown in most directions was
the International Mercantile Marines,
where earnings are said to be falling
below expectations, despite the big
> ear for high-priced foreign travel and
the supposed improvement in the
freight-carrying trade.
Studebaker Is Feature.
Strength in Studebaker Corporation
reflected not only the belief that the
stock had been selling out of line in
comparison with other automobile
shares recently, but also the favora
ble earnings and financial position of
the company. Studebaker's net profits
for the second quarter are expected
to be around S 3 a share, and it is
predicted that in the first six months
the corporation will have covered its
dividend requirements for the full
year.
More light was thrown on the re
cent strength in American Ice by the
report that earnings for 1925 will be
much better than has been generally
expected.
MARKET CLOSES STRONG.
Spirited Bidding for Motor Issues in
Last Hour.
NEW YORK. May 27 OP).—Renewal
of the demand for motor and public
utility shares featured today's rising
stock market. The advance in many
issues was stimulated by urgent short
covering. Establishment of record
1925 car loadings for the week ended
May 16, higher gasoline prices and
reports of an improved demand for
steel had a bullish effect on sentiment.
Total sales approximated 1,500,000
shares.
The closing was strong. Spirited
bidding for the motor issues continued
through the late trading, Maxwell B
extending its gain to nearly 7 points
by touching 105, and Mack Truck
moving up 4 points to 184 44. Interna
tional Telephone soared over 10 points.

RAIL AND OIL BONDS
MARKETLEADERS
Chicago Tractions Weak.
South American Issue Is
Again Prominent.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 27.—Investment
bonds paused in their advance today
and In wme quarters of the market,
principally utilities and industrials,
the trend was reactionary. Rails and
United States obligations were rela
tively steadier.
One of the weak spots was the Chi
cago Tractions. Chicago City and
Connecting Railway 6s were down
over 2% points and Chicago Railways
first os lost a less amount. Selling
came into the Interborough Issues,
based on the statement of counsel
that the company could not make Im
provements ordered by the Transit
Commission without bankruptcy, hut
it was quite evident from the nature
of the support that the market did
not take the assertion of the Inter
borough counsel literally. Brooklyn
Manhattan Transit 6s continued
steady.
Oils and Kails Strong.
Oil bonds were strong, instances be
ing Skelly Oil 6 Vis, Pan-American
Petroleum 6s, Sinclair 6s and Empire
Gas and Fuel 7',is. U. S. Rubber 5s
were again in demand, but Interna
tional Mercantile Marine 6s were soft.
Below 88 today they were at the low
of the year. _ Virginia-Carollna Chem
ical 7s and 7**s with warrants were
both lower.
Among the rails Missouri-Kansas-
Texas adjustment, Missouri-Pacific
general 4s, St. Louls-San Francisco In
come 6s and Seaboard Air Line ad
justments were the most active and
generally firm.
Norfolk Southern 5s touched 80 for
the first time. Chicago, Terre Haute
and Southeastern incomes were frac
tionally higher, but Chicago Great
Western 4s reacted.
French Bonds Lower.
The feature in the foreign list was
another new high record for Monte
video 7s, up nearly a point. Today’s
price was above any recorded since
1922- They are not redeemable until
1937, and then at 100. Bolivia 8s made
no further advance. French bonds
were a shade lower, but relatively in
active. The rest of the list was with
out significant change.
The day’s new offerings included
$4,848,000 Jersey City 4**s, maturing
serially, to yield from 3.50 to 4.05 per
cent.
MILLS BUYING MORE WOOL.
BOSTON, May 27 (Special).—Mills
are taking a fair amount of staple
territory wools and fine and fine
medium grades moved today at $1.15
to $1.25 clean. Medium scoured has
moved from 83 to 95 cents a pound,
according to quality.
ROAD DOUBLES INCOME.
NEW YORK, May 27 G4>).—The
New York. New Haven and Hartford
Railroad more than doubled its net
Income in April In comparison with
the same month last year, the total
of $664,024 after all charges being an
increase of $360,304.

EARLY DOWNTURN
IN WHEAT PRICES
Weakness in Liverpool Mar
ket Reflected Here —Corn
and Oats Lower.
By the Associated Pres*
CHICAGO, May 27. —Unexpected
weakness of wheat quotations at
Liverpool led to an early downturn
today in wheat prices here. The
Liverpool decline was ascribed to fa
vorable weather throughout Europe
and the British estimates that the
new European wheat crop would be
192,000,000 bushels larger than last
year, with the European rye crop
200.000,000 bushels larger. On the
other hand, domestic crop damage
reports continued today both from
Spring and Winter wheat territory.
Opening prices in Chicago, ranging
from 2% decline to % advance. May
1.72 to 1.72*4 and Juiy 1.61*4 to 1.62,
were followed by rallies, but then a
fresh setback, with the market touch
ing as low as 1.70 for May.
Corn and oats were easier, sym
pathizing with wheat. After open
ing */4 to % down. July 1.17% to 1.18,
the corn market kept within narrow
limits.
Oats started at % to % off, July
46% to 47, and then varied but little.
Provisions responded to firmness of
hog values.

fleferendums of U. S. Cham
ber of Commerce Discussed /
by Local Fraternity.
BY CHAS. I’. SHAKFFFK.
Referendums 45 and 4« of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States’ Advisory Committee were dis
cussed by the District Bankers
elation last night, the former, which
grants to national banks additior.il
powers, being approved in its entiretv,
but the latter, a discussion regarding
the inequities and unscientific meth
ods of levying inheritance taxes, niec
with only a partial approval of the
local fraternity.
Washington bankers agreed with
the Chamber of Commerce that the
Federal Government should always
refrain from imposing estate or in
heritance taxes, and that the estate
tax now levied by the Federal Gov.
ernment should be repealed, but did
not favor the recommendation of the
chamber that there should he an or.
ganization of representatives of the
States and the Federal Government
to co-ordinate National and State s\--
tems of taxation.
Approvals of the two clauses weie
made on the grounds that a tax on.
capital reduces capital to the extent
of the tax, and that the burden falls
heaviest on widows and orphans. Re
jection of the third clause was based
on the belief that establishment of a
commission or bureau would be un
wise: that expenses and salaries in
cident to such a commission would "
add to taxes, and that such a .on
mission would be unable to aecon
plish the purposes for which it was
intended.
Text of Referendum 45.
Text of referendum 45, extending
the scope of National bank functions
approved, follows in full:
’’That a National bank should be
permitted, under regulations of the
controller of the currency, to have
branches within its own city if a
State bank in the same city is per
mitted to have branches.
“That National banks should be
given indeterminate charters, subject
to forfeiture for cause and termina
tion at the will of Congress.
“That National banks could be au
thorized to deal in investment securi-*
ties on a basis not inconsistent with
the generally recognized principles of
sound banking practice.
“That National banks should be
authorized to make mortgage loans
on city real estate for periods not in
excess of five years."
The referendums are being conduct
ed by the Chamber of Commerce in
an effort to secure intelligent legisla
tion which will remove existing obsta
cles to present-day banking.
