A WOMAN: [TRIBUNE FINANCIAL DEPARTHENT| EXTRINSIC FACTORS; INFLUENCE MARKETS Pools Active in e in Minor Specialties but Lack of Interest is Conspicuous CALL LOANS EASE DOWN TO THREE AND ONE-HALF ‘New York, Jan. 24.—Political and economic factors continued to weigh upon the stock market today, al- though there was a moderate rally, due in part to short covering at the end. Pools were again active in min- or specialties, but the lack of public interest in representative shares was an obvious drawback. Peace rumors, government financ- ing, the freight embargo, and_ fuel shortage, were among the conficting elements that affected and moderate authorities agreed that as yet indus- trial conditions showed little improve- ment from the government3 closure decree. Greater ease was displayei in the market for call loans, which opened at 5% per cent, the lotvest initial rate thus far this year, but time funds, while quotably unchanged, were scarce to the point of complete withdrawel That. investment money stil seel an outlet was seen in the large over- subscription to the $5,00,000 New York City revenue warrants, whica were disposed of at a price averaging slightly over 414 percent. Market leaders moved in a very nar- row grove, rails evincing 4 reaction- ary trend on presentation to congress of a railroad bill somewhat different from that originally projected. Seasoned industria! ippings and active specialties were pansive to the more general support of the iast hour, closing with a f:rm tone. Sales amounted to 310,000 shares. : International issues, especially the French group, were slightly higher. Liberty 314’s made 1 new low record at 98, first 4’s also establishing a new minimum at 96.70, and the second 48 varying from 96.80 to 9%. Total sales (par value) aggregated 34425, 000. United States 2’s and regivtered #s declined % per cent and common’ ¥s % per cent on call. 1 NEW YORK STOCK LIST American Beet ua ea . 1% American Can. . - 36% American Smelti iz 1s "Relining American Tel. & Tel. en American Zinc ....

Prices closed unsettled, at 126% March and 1255 @ % May. with the final range varying from %c decline to %c advance compared with 24 hours before. Oats gained % to Ye. Provisions closed Sc off to 22¢ up. Reports were current that better weather in the west was gradually bringing about more favorable traf- fic conditions on the railroads and that the car supply had been some- what improved in Illinois. Besides, ad- vices were at hand telling of the larg- est rural shipments of corn that had been made since the recent storm. Nevertheless, the scantiness of re- ceipts here and the many times of late that hopes of liberal arrivals had turned cut to be misleading discour- aged sellers. The result was to keep the market within narrow limits, and to minimize the volume of trade, de- spite a generally promising outlook. All deliveries of oats advanced to the highest prices yet this season. Persistent demand from the seaboard was responsible, but in the last hour it was said exporters had withdrawn from the. market. Covering by local shorts led to up- turns in provisions. Sharp breaks in hog prices received but little atten- tion.

The federal food administration ad- vises that the collapse of the Italians recently is attributed to the lack of} trations for the soldiers, and that con- ditions in Italy and the other allied countries are just as serious and crit- ical now with shipping being con- stantly menaced by the submarines. ; ‘The nations of Europe are absolutely ; dependent upon the United States for their food supply, and it is stated au- thoritatively through information gathered by the federal food adminis- tration; that the limit of food supply now on hand in the allied countries is for three months’ duration. COUNT CZERNIN EULOGISTIC OF THE PRESIDENT Basel, Switzerland, Jan. 25.—A dis- patch from Vienna says that during an address to the delegations of par- liament, Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, declared |- that he considered President Wil- son’s last propositions regarding peace as showing a perceptible ap- preach to the Austro-Hungarian point of view. There were, he said several points to which Austria Hungary joy- fully could subscribe, but that the following principle first must be laid down: “That where these propositions concerned Austria-Hungary’s allies as in the case of Germany in Belgium, or Turkey, Austria-Hungary was faith- ful to her alliance and would fight to the end for the defense of her allies.” Free Poland “Poland ought freely and without influence choose her lot,’ said Count Czernin. He declared that he would gladly have seen Poland take part in the Syrup in maintaining the drugs, and pleasant peace negotiations, for he cohsidered Poland an independent state, but the Russian government did not recognize the present Polish government’s qual- jfications to speak in the name of Po- land, so he had not insisted, in order to avoid a conflict. Count Czernin explained Germany's unwillingness to evacuate occupied territories before a popular vote was taken because such evacuation would break up the organization, communi- cations, industries and administra- tions which are in German hands, with the résult of producing anarchy and utter misery.. Negotiations, de- clared the minister need time, and he added:.. -ys. ‘ #7 Peace With Russia “When we have reached peace with Russia, general peace caiinot long be prevented despite the efforts of the entent statesmen.” Count Czrnin declared that he must politely, but categoriaclly, refuse President Wilson’s advice on Austria Hungary’s internal administration. There was no parliament more: de- mocratic than Austria, he said. Farm Hand Has Feet Frozen on Long Tramp Paul Gartner, aged 33, a farm hand of the Wagner district, was brought to the Bismarck hospital yesterday suffering from badly frozen feet. Gartner had gone’ to the Wagner station to catch a train when he found it had gone. He started to walk a distance of 15 miles and when nearing the end of his journey found his feet were frozen. * AN OLD-TIMER. J. D.
