POOLS ACTIVE IN INDUSTRIAL STOCKS ‘New York, Jan. 18.—Inauguration of the government's conservation regula- 3 tions caused a pronounced diminution yt in. the volume of business on the stock , exchange today. Trading was accom- Panied by frequent pauses, transac- tions barely totalling 465,000 shares. There was some apprehension be- fore the opening of heavy liquidation by speculative interests at industrial points but commission houses report- ed few offerings from such sources. Selling came chiefly from professional who succeeded in dislodging a few “stop loss” orders on the early de- cline. Public interest was at lowest ebb dnd observance of the market express- ed the opinion that this atitude would continue pending an adjustment of ex- isting complexities. ‘Publication of the text of the ad- ministrators order removed all doubt of its scope and importance. This was supplemented by advices from manufacturing centers many of which = reported partial or complete cessation of operations for the five day period. | The money market hardened call Igans again rising to six percent with a slight stiffening of time rates. For- eign exchange reflected the stabilizing process now under way rates on Paris again favoring that capital. Pools were active in certain stocks, notably shippings, oils and tobaccos, but in ground the movement was re- strcted and meaningless. Leaders re- covered the greater part of their one to two point recessions before the close. Bonds were firm on limited trad- ing. Liberty 314’s sold at 98.60 to 98.48, first 4’s at 97.06 to 96.80 and second 4’s at 96.2 to 96.10. Total sales (par value) aggregated $3,425,000. United States old isues were unchanged on eall. ‘BUSINESS RESTRICTED Intense Congestion in Facilities for Freight Delivery. New York, Jan. 18.—Bradstreets to- morrow will say: Willingness to do business on a large scale has been restricted by heavy snowstorms in the west, by in- tense congestion in railway facilities, which has made it well nigh impos- Bible to ship fuel or other, supplies, ind finally the fuel administrator’s order closing plants for five days and = ery Monday for ten weeks has al thrown vast numbers out of. employ- & ent.

However, the country’s essential industries are heavily backlogged with orders and it is hoped that when raik way and harbor ¢ongestion is relieved industry will again be enabled to go forward with vim. As for some ‘time past governmental business takes pre- cedence over everything else. In or- dinary trade circles jobbing business has been curtalied by inability to get shipments with which to fill orders, but potentially there is a large vol- ume of business in sight. House trade which, of course, results from the buy: ing of visiting merchants has been re tarded because meteorological condi- tions ehave crippled travel; but, on the other hand, country merchants, especially in the surplus crop growing regions, have bought freely of staples, their stocks being low, and in conse- quence travelling men are forwarding good sized orders. Indeed buying from the country districts is marked by orders and by requests to hasten shipments of spring goods.

PROSPECTS OF 60 GIVE CORN A BOOST Oats Tends Upward With Provis- ions Regular and Firm From Outset DEMAND FOR FOODS STRENGTHENS MART Chicago; Ill, Jam. -18.—Severe cold and predictions of more tended today to harden prices in the corn market. Latest figures weré 127% January and 125% to 124% May, unchanged to quarter cent higher as compared with 24 hours before. Oats gained half a % to %c. The finish in provisions ranged from 2%4c decline to a rise of 20¢. Traders in corn as well as in other staples needed no other reminder of cold than was brought sharply to no- tice by the icy temperature of the ex- change hall and by the complete ab- sence of telegraphers owing to strict application of the government fuel or- ders. An improved demand from food industries helped also to give firmness to the market, as purchases were re- } sumed which had suffered interruption because of temporary doubt as to whether elevators and dryers were ex- empt from the coal saving which had been required of business in general. Oats showed greater strength than corn, awing to extreme scantiness of receipts and renewed export buying. Slowness of the movement of oats to market was partly ascribed to prefer- ence given corn. Provisions averaged higher, influ- enced by the upward slant of quota- tions on hogs and grain. Reports were also current that there were large orders 1n sight from the food ad- ministration. i CHICAGO GRAIN Corn— Jan. + 1275 1275 127% 1275 May - 124% 124% 124% 12456 Oats— Jan. 79% 7956. 7856 1956 May ...... 76 16% (75% 76% MINNEAPOLIS’ GRAIN Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 18.—Flour unchanged.

At the same time the director- gen- ere] put into effect a new system of government railroad administration by. dividing the country into three oper- ating regions, east, south and west, and placed a railroad executive at the head of each as his representative. Wage Commission. The wage commission consists of Secretary Lane, Interstate Commerce Commissioner C. C. McChord, Judge: J. Harry Covington, chief justice of the District of Columbia Supreme. court; and William R. Willcox, who tonight announced his resignation as Chairman of the republican national committee. It was planned originally to pass only on the four brotherhood’s wage demands, but so many other la- bor questions have been referred to the director-general’ since then that he determined to refer them all to the board. It will hear all labor com- plaints or petitions, make careful in- vestigations, and recommend a course of action to Mr. McAdoo. Regional Directors R. H. Aishton, president of the Chi- cago and Northwestern, was appoint- ed.regional director for territory west ofthe Mississippi with headquarters at Chicago.

Featherstone Says that Government Can Make can be produced by the government, using its own raw materials, at less than one half the price the govern- ment is now paying for pig iron under the president’s fixed reduced price of $83 per ton. He also said ships can be turnéd out with a satisfactory pro- fit to the builder at twenty per cent less than the shipping board is pay- ing for them. Pig iron can be pro- duced by the government, Mr. Feath- erstone told the committee at $15.90 a ton. {9 THOUSAND PLANTS RESPOND 70 GARFIELD MANDATE AT CHICAGO 100,000. Workers Idle in Metropo- tan District—Public More Complacent CHARITY WATCHES OVER SMALL WAGE EARNERS Chicago, Ill, Jan. 19.—Ten thous- and. manufacturing plants closed, an industrial army of 400,000 workers idle was Chicago's response Friday to the sweeping order of the federal fuel administration for the conservation of toal. ‘With the stilling of the activities and the consequent lifting of the mur- den from storm harassed railroads, great streams of coal began moving. The storm of protests which greet- ed the announcement from Washing: ton died as the day wore on and the public adjusted itself good naturedly to the hardship as part of its “bit” in the war. Street and elevated traffic. was cut down materially and watch- ful guards kept the temperature in the: cars at a minimum while outside be-| low zero weather prevailed. Meanwhile organized efforts were being made to care for small wage earners whose families had been left in distress. Some plants announced that they would pay part salaries df workers left in enforced idleness. Others prepared to immediately re- lieve any distress that their forces might not be disrupted by migration of, the employes.
