R. Batson. Steel stocks were practically the whole market to-day. Official ad- mission that the Lackawanna Steei Company 1s to be consolidated with | the Bethlehem resulted in a pyro- technical display in all the inde- pendent steel shares and in Lack- awanna in particular, ‘ Transactions totalled approximately | 1,300,000 shares. Steel shares were | responsible for nearly 40 per cent. of this turn-over, a Lackawanna rose for a gain of more than twenty-one points, compared ‘ with the low of yesterday. Bethle- hem Steel “'B"’ stock advanced more than three points above yesterday's close; Crucible more than five points, and other steels showed pro- Portionate gains. The ease with which steel stocks rose into new high ground for the year encouraged bull demonstrations in various other groups. Otis marked up rather briskly; motors became in good demand and in the miscellaneous industrial list gains of two points or more were quite com- mon, The unexpected announcement of the merger between the Bethlehem and Lackawanna Companies resulted in the well known Wall Street rumor factory working at full blast. According to gossip not only is every steel company whose shares aré listed on the Exchange to be tn- cluded in a merger, but plans are under way to consolidate various motor companies, sugar compgnies, oil concerns and not even the rail- roads were neglected by the rumor mongers. The one definite announcement madi aside from that involving the Bet! lehem and Lackawanna was that the proposed merger between the | Pierce Arrow and Lafayette Motor Companies has been definitely abandoned. This resulted in a drop of nearly 5 points in Plerce Arrow | preferred. Decision of Congress to adopt the pro- posal of Senator La Follette and in- .Yestigate the proposed merger of six of the independent steel companies was not regarded seriously, and at} no time did it seem to have mark effect. The merger between Bethle: hem and Lackawanna will not, tt is believed, be insluded in the proposed investigation, The statement of Attorney General Daugherty that he advocated the dissolution decree affecting New Haven be modified to the extent that the company be permitted to vote its stock in the Boston and Maine at the meeting to be held next Tuesday, while considered fav- torable to the former company, has been discounted marketwise, Another proposed Congressional in- vestigation which failed to perturb the financial district was that con- cerning the recent advances in gas- oline prices. While gasoline prices have been in- creased atiout 4 cents a gallon, fur ther advances will soon be ordered,’ “according to yell informed Wall Street opinion, and market commit- ments in the Standard Oil shares and in shares of companies with large gusoline production are being based on these expectations. During the last hour the market was called upon to withstand a heavy amount of profit taking, but this was well absorbed, and in final dealings prices rose to new highs for the day. Steel industrials were churned up bh a manner that bespoke considerabl courage on the part of pools, Lackawanna rose to a new top 78 8-4, Crucible showed a net gal of 7 points, and active bull specu lation extended to coal stocks, equipments and practically all othe groups, with the exception of rail and coppers. The speculation was aided in part by easier money conditions. The re- newal rate for call funds was re- duced to 3 8-4 per cent. and later in the day was reduced to 3 1-2 per cent. The foreign exchange markets, cot- ton and wheat failed to develop ma- terial change. Se eee WOOD ALCOHOL VICTIM HAD TAKEN PLEDGE: Patrick J.
