Steels and equip-} ments made up considerable of the previous day’s lo and pools. re sumed their operations in specialtie: Coppers, tobaccos, distilling issues and general motors, the latter at an extreme advance of 5% points contri-! buted to the occasional upward spudts of the stock list, with the usual re- versals on profit taking before the end. Rails were unusually apathetic, early gains of 1 to 11% points in trai continentals and coalers suffering par tial impairment later, Sales amount-| ed to 510,000 shares. Transportation conditions in the eastern states showed further im- provement, bringing an increase of; operations at industrial points. Rail-| road earnings were more variable, Great Northern reporting a net Decem-! ber decrease of $1,162,000, while Mich-| igan Ceftral’s net was increased by| more than $400,000. | In the main, bonds were firmer with the general stock list. Liberty issues | were the only striking exceptions, the second 4's falling to the new minimum | of 95.28. Total sales (par value) $4,-| 425,000, United States bonds, old is- sues, were unchanged on call. | CALL MONEY FIRM Merchantile paper 5% @ 5% per-| cent. Bar silver 86%. Mexican dollars 68.

The curtail- ment of industrial and merchantile operations, however, has already been unusualy extensive, and the restric- tion of work through the holiday ob- _ servances not. only. causes added in- ~ convenience, but also tends to reduce the purchasing. power of many con- sumers, with the consequent diminu- tion of retail buying, and with.the de- lays in shipments resulting from the transportation congestion, complaints of less satisfactory collections are rather more common, and in some cases where deliveries cannot be made with the desired. promptness cancellations of contracts are report- ed.

Lokhammer of Leith is the honor man in the drive for United States shipyard volunteers. His application was the firs tto reach Washington.— U, S. Shipping Board. i | | This dispatch shows North Dakota today ca attention to the drive now being made by the Four- dunute men of North Dakota for ship- yard volunteers, and urges that the pre and pulpit and professional and ess men, farmers and patriots generally give to their work every pos- sible support. The Workers Needed. Commenting on this drive, Walter S. Gifford, managing director of the na- tional council of defense, in a wire to F. O. Helstrom, secretary of the North Dakota council, says: “The workers that are going to build the nation's ships are scattered across the United States; our immedi- ate problem is to carry to them the message that to win the war our first first need is labor. We must have the best artisans in the United States. We must have the skilled steady man, ma- ture in character and perhaps in years, who is willing to move his family from a cherished home and break up comfortable habits and fond associations for a new abode; who is willing to make these sacrifices be- cause he realizes that the success of this nation and the allies is at stake and only his work, earnest and enthus- iastic, can bring and early victory to the great cause of liberty. “To reach these men. and inspire them to patriotic effort is the particu- lar task of the state councils of de- fense with their five thousand local councils covering all the important in- dustrial centers in the United States. They are peculiarly fitted for this work. They not only reach into every factory town bu they come into per- sonal contact with skilled labor. It will be their duty to rouse every com- petent artison in the country. The states have already entered energetic- ally into the campaign. Before it is over w eintend to have not only 250,- 000 workmen ready to serve in the shipyards but so many more than that that as the need for workers crows the yards will fill with a band of steady,.earnest toilers putting their hearts and their muscle into their CONCRETE BRIDGE TO SPAN BURN CREEK ON THE OLD RIVER ROAD Commissioner, B, ©.
