High Mark—Rails Are Heavy. After « day of excited trading, dur- ing which steel isaues, particularly Bethlehem and United Staten Steel, advanced to new high records, the @tock market receded slightly before the clone thie afternoon, tut closed wrong and active. The briskness of the trading is shown by the fact that 912,640 shares of stock changed hands, as compared with a trading yesterday of 671,040. The greatest advances came In the early trading, but this rise vanished in the early afternoon, when the bears became decidedly aggressive. The advance, however, waa resumed later on pool operations in leading railroad issues and a drive against the short Interests in Stee! Bethlehem Steel, closing last night around 290, soared again to-day on a wild speculative movement, reaching & new high water mark of 307 and then receding. to 801, at which It closed. United States Steel advanced ‘an high 21-2 and closed at 721-4, the highest figure it has reached in years. Cructble Steel,. which has been fol- lowing the leaders, went to 79 and closed at 78 on a report that it had on its books $60,000,000 worth of war orders and that the warring Govern- ments were prepared to repeat these orders immediately the company eigni- fled a wilingness to accept them. Railroads and industrials shared in the general. advances, all closing up from 2 to 5 points. Unrestrained speculation witb little authentic information on which to base such a rise, has been the cause of the amazing 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 Bethlehem Steel had re- ceived very latwe war orders, with large profits to come, but there bas been a marked absence of official figures from the company {tself. 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 aelling munitions of war have lifted many stocks from comparative obscurity to record pop- ularity.

It is believed that a large part of the Russian garrison that made the final stand at the elty gates fell into the hands of the Bavarians, It was assumed that the Slavs either completely destroyed or at least attempted to destroy the Vistula bridges to impede the progress of the pursuing Germans. | The first bulletin from the War Office contained few details of the final battle at the gates of Warsaw, or of the greater engagement on the wingy of the German armies seeking to envelop the Slavs, That the struggle was a short, flerce one is evidenced by the fact that Prince Leopold's armies arrived before the Warsaw outer forts only thirty-six hours ago.
