STRENGTH OF RAILS ON McADOO’S PLANS New York, Jan. 25.—Although opin- fons differed widely in banking cir- cles as to the significance of the Ger- man chancellor's latest address, peace talk predominated in the financial dis- tricts today. Stocks were firm at the outset, be- “ coming stronger later on substantial advances in rails, including many low priced isues.

Questions any Congressman Puts to Him, Washington, Jan. 26.—The admin- istration’s answer to Senator Cham- berlain’s speech in the senate Fri- day on war department shortcomings , will be made by Secretary Baker be- fore the senate military committee on Monday. ‘4 Mad Mr. Baker wrote Chairman Cham- berlain today asking the committee to arrange an opportunity for him to pre- sent a summary of what has been done by American in the war, and that a time and place be fixed so as to anable all members of congress so dis- posed to attend. The committee con- sidered the request in executive ses- siderable to do today with an advance in the price of corn. The market closed unsettled, quarter @ 4, half cent net higher, with Mar 4% and May 125 to 125%. Oats gaincd 14% @ 1% to 1%c. Provisions underwent de clines of 5 to 2 Except for a little weakness at the outset the corn market showed a de- cided upward slant. Peace talk, to which the initial declines seemed due, was speedily offset by bullish con- structions given to action of the ex- change directors in putting a stop to trade in January delivery, and in or- dering that January setlements be ef- fected at the maximum limit hereto- o Dealings in stocks were again large-| fore allowed for futures, 128 a bush- ly professional, the short interest cov-| el.

There was a more hopeful feeling regarding the political situation in ‘Washington, sentiment being visibly heartened by developments which pointed to the furtherance of this country’s war plans. In the foreign exchange market the only direct reflection of the many peace rumors was furnished by the stiffening of cable remittances to Lon- don, France, however, reacting.

Commenting, before he had been ad- vised of the action of the committee, Secretary Baker said he would lay before the committee every fact in connection with the war department's activities except those which, through publication, would endanger the lives of American soldiers.
