A sud- den sélling movement in Baldwin, which carried that stock from {64 to 15815 before the end of the first hour, caused the change in speculative sentiment, but a few issues continued to show independent strensth Violent fluctuations in Baldwin probably were the result of published . t a Chicago pool had made “killing” in the stock. The com- pany has received an unusually large number of orders within the past two months and the feeling persists in Wall Street, despite frequent official denials, that the sale of its valuable Philadelphia real estate will be ar- ranged next year and some special distribution ade to _stockholders. r to the break in Baldwin there < a brisk demand for the motor under the leadership of Gen- 5 Motors, Hudson and Jordan, which presumab! re marked up in anticipation of a favorable public re- ception of their new models to be £hown early next month.

CHICAGO, that no early pr 4n the wheat m upward swing today E @t the start. Buyers here were en couraged on account of steadiness of Y.iverpool tions in the face of larger shipments. Opening at 1 to 1z decline, Chicago wheat prices quickly goored a material advance. Corn, oats and provisions _were ~firmer, ~corn starting at s off to 3% \|m and later owing gains all around. Ehn.m'nk puying of wheat developed after an initial dip of values with Eastern connection most conspicuous in this movement.

Bankers feel assured that the strong start which 1927 clubs already have made, can be fairly interpreted as a real indication of growth in the sav- ings habit of Washingtonians, now happy in the midst of spending the money saved for the merry holidays this season. At one prominent institution it was announced that during the first three days the new Christmas club for next year was open, the total deposits amoynted to a third of the entire sum for 1926. With nearly $5,500,000 having estab- lished a record in Washington this year for Christmas savings, bankers already are beginning to speculats as to how far the impetus in saving may carry the total next year for a new high. Capital Traction Advances. Capital Traction closed the week at 1043, on a five-share turnover, the price being the highest in some time. Railway and Electric preferred also showed strength, opening at 907 and advancing to 90%. D. C. Paper preferred sold at 80, Washing- ton Gas Light came out at 72 and Potomac Electric Power preferred sold at 107%. Thirteen shares of National Bank of Washington stock sold at 283. In the bond division Capital Trac- tion s sold at par, Raflway and Electric 4s redbrded two sales at $33%, Washington Gas 5s appeared on the board at 100%, and the market closed with the sale of Potomac Electric Power 7s going at 106. The unlisted department showed but few changes in the quotations during the week. Bank Clearings Decline. Bank clearings this week at all leading cities in the United States are 0 65,000, a decrease of 4.9 per cent as compared with the total for the corresponding week of last year. At New York City the figures for this + [aveek aggregate $6,173,000,000, or 5.4 per cent less than those of a year ago, while at cities outside of New York the total is $3,744,765,000, & de- cline of 4.1 per cent. Including New York City there are 17 cities which show losses this week, among them Philadelphi Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Detrolt and most Southern cities. Gains at Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Kansas City, however, are encouraging. Washington’s bank clearings for the week ending December 2, totaled $30,304,000, which was a decrease of 9 per cent compared with the same weck a year ago, but considerably ahead of the clearings for the week ending on November 25, when the figure was $22,090,000. Mountjoy to Attend Sessions. E. E. Mountjoy, Washington repre: sentative of the American Bankers' Assoclatlon, has left the city for Omaha, Nebr., to attend a ‘midcon- tinent meeting of members of the na- tional organization. The sessions, which will last for two days, are designed especlally for trust companies and national banks doing a trust business. In order to keep in close touch with the activities of the association, Mr. Mountjoy attends all such conferences. Bankers from about 20 States will take part in the discussions on a prob- lem which is constantly looming larger and larger in the banking world. Theater Party Profits $1,160.50. T. Hunton Leith, president of ‘Wash- ington Chapter, American Institute of Banking, announces that the recent theater party netted the educational work of the chapter $1,160.50, the largest amount yet cleared at one of these events. Up to thig year the high mark was in 1924, when the profits amounted to $650. All the members of the chapter are highly elated over the results, and Raymond P. Lochte and his committee assistants are being given great credit.

CHRISTMAS SAVINGS CLUB RUSH SHOWS NEW THRIFT BOOM IN CITY Many Putting This Year's Funds in Banks for Next Year—Check Clearing Slump—Christmas Trade Lively. 1926” was something the committee knew nothing about, and was the only factor that prevented the annual event from being a complete success. Holiday Trade Lively. Bradstreet’s says that a rather mix- ed collection of trade and industrial reports comes to hand this week; some of this a chronicle of current events, some the record of the past month’s happenings. Among the week’s fea- tures, probably first place is taken by the advance of real Winter weather over a wide area, with beneficial ef- fects upon coal buying and purchas- ing of heavy wearing apparel in northern sections, and a perceptible livening up of holiday purchasing by early buyers. Over against these. stimulating fea- tures are to be reckoned a sag in the price of cotton to the lowest point of the year, which has tended to offset good effects of cooler weather in southern areas, and reports of lessac- tive buying at wholesale of steel, iron, coke, lumber, most non-ferrous met- als, furniture and implements. Moody Economist to Speak. Paul Clay, economist, of Moody's In- vestor Service, New York, will be the guest speaker at the monthly lunch- eon of the Washington Bond Club at the Metropolitan Club Monday at 1 p.m. Charles Carroll Morgan, presi- dent, will preside. PROSPERITY AHEAD FOR RAIL EMPLOYES Mediation Increases Wages for More Than 100,000 in U. S. and Canada. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 4.—The coming year will be marked by the greatest prosperity in railroad history for more than 100,000 employes of Eastern United States and Canadian railways, as a result of mediation ef- forts concluded in the past few days. A railroad_arbitration board Thurs- day awarded wage increases of 712 per cent to conductors and trainmen of 50 Eastern railroads in this country. Yesterday mediatory measures pro- posed by the Canadlan government resulted in wage increases of some- thing less than 6 per cent to conduc- tors and trainmen on that country's principal roads. No_estimate was made public in Canada as to what the increases there would total annually, but the pay roll of Eastern roads in this country will be swelled by $14,500,000. In neither country were wages of engineers involved in the disputes and settlements. Controversies in each country met failure in first attempts at arbitration. The first board to hear the plea of the American trainmen, who were asking an increase of 19 per cent, was dissolved when it was found impossi- ble to reach an agreement. Another board was formed and the award was made after more than a year of in- vestigation. In Canada first negotiations between employes and the rallroads collapsed and the men voted to strike. They were asking an increase of 6 per cent. Date for the walkout was postponed pending decision of the dispute in this country and in the meantime the gov- ernment persuaded the deadlocked parties to the dispute to reopen nego- tiations. Result of this second attempt at mediation bore fruit yesterday, just one day after the United States em- ployes had won their victory. The Ca- nadian increase varied for different types of work and, while not all that had been asked for, it was considered preferable to throwing the country Into turmotl by a trile, MORE TOBACCO BOUGHT.

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. Spectal Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 4.—Trading in bonds quieted down today after the extraordinary activity and rapld ad vance of Friday, but there was no weakness anywhere and in many in dividual 1ssues grices were advanced further. The let-up In activity was only natural at the end of the week in which such a large amount of new financing had been accomplished. The favorites today were generally the same as in the preceding session. Hudson and Manhattan income b« duplicated the record high for all times. So did the same company's refunding 5s. Baltimore and Ohio refunding 5s, both maturities, sold above par, which was their previous Bigh point. Special buying appeared in Illinofs Central 4% of 1966. Lib erty bonds were steady, but without special feature. In the more speculative bonds the oils were the most proimnent. En pire Gas and Fuel 61¢s and Barnsdall 6s changed hands at par. Californ Petroleum 65%s kept pace with the stock. The Warner Sugar bonds add ed moderately to thelr gains o earlier in the week. Local tractions were more irregu lar. Third Avenue adjustments ad vanced but New York Rallway in comes sold off. St. Louis-San Francisco income 6« crossing 96 made a new top on the movement and were the most active in their group. International Grea Northern adjustments were up frac tionally, but the Erie issues did littl more than, maintain their position French and Belgian issues were about the same. EXPORT RECORD LIKELY Spectal Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, December 4.—The phenomenal increase in bituminous coal exportations during the year 1926 probably will reach 5.000.000 tons, & record unique in the history of the port, according to the Export and Im port Board of Trade. During the 10 months of 1926 end ing with October 30 3,590.888 tons were exported, in contrast with 270 200 tons for the same period the pre- ceding year. Five hundred and seventy-threo ves sels, representing every maritime na tion In the world, have been dispatch ed from Baltimore to accommodate the enormous movement. As a result of this drainage on the world's merchant marine freight rates on coal jumped from per ton an average quotation Ba imore to Liverpool before the strike, to about $8.75 at its crisis. Although ship- ments now are on the decline, it is not expected that the decrease will affect rates, as American markets still have many British orders to fill. Washington Stock Exchange SALES.
