St AP RRS ALTE a LOST NE EARLY GAINS ARE NOTED ON WALL STREET New York, June 12.—Early gains in industrials, equipments, metals, oils and shippings were supplemented in the stock market today when Unitea States steel emerged from its recent inactivity at an advance of 1 1- points, Tobaccos made additional gains and specialties were led by dis- tilers, alcohol, cotton oil and linseed, common and preferred. Investment rails hardened on buying of the trans- continentals, Atchison and Reading. The prominence of minor coalers at 1 to 2 points advances was an unus- ual feature. Liberty 3 1-2’s sold at $99.59 to 99.70; first 4’s at $94.80; sec- ond 4's at 94.54 to 94.70 and 4’s at $96.74 to 96.84. All sections of the stock market were strengthened at the opening of today’s trading, the improvement be- ing ascribed to overnight war news. Greatest gains were scored by spec- ulative issues, however, especially to- baccos, Sumatra making a new maxi- mum at 145 3-4. Steele coppers, Colo- rado fuel, Great Northern ore, Bald- win locomotive and American car made appreciable advances with Ma- rine preferred, Mexican petroleum, Reading and Union Pacific. Pitts- burgh and West Virginia again led the low priced rails. Liberty bonds eased slightly. CORN MARKET DOWNWARD. Chicago, June 12.—Relief from ex- cessive heat turned the corn market downward today. The bears were also favored by a continuance of lib- eral receipts. On the extreme de- cline, many commission houses swung to the buying side, and caused a sharp rally but fresh breaks ensued. Opening figures, which varied from 1-8 to 1 3-8 cents lower with July 1.41 to 142 and August 1.42 3-4 were fol- lowed by an upturn to well above yes- terday's finish and then by setbacks much below the initial range. Oats were governed by the action of corn. Trade was light. After op- ening unchanged to half a cent lower with July 70 3-8 to 3-4 the market scored a material advance which how- ever was soon lost. Business “in provisions was almost at a standstill. Small gains resulted from absence of selling pressure.

Borah of.Ida- ho for public consideration of trea: jes. The president made it known that his advocacy of open diplomacy was not in reference to the senate ex- ecutive discussion of treaties in which he recommends ‘no change but meanc the publication of treaties after”their ratification: ’ \. 3 President Wifkon’s disapproval \to- day killed a proposal in the Senate for open.discussion of treaties. Sena- WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1918. 7 tors voted down 50 to 23, an amend- ment by Senator Borah of Idaho em- bodying the proposal, which had been offered as an amendment to the reso- lution of Senator, Underwood cf Ala- bama, curtailing Senate debate during the war. anita Most of ‘those favoring the Borah amendment’ Were, Republicans while the Democrats voted almost solidly against*the proposal. The president's views were given in # letter to Chairman. Hitchcock of ‘the foreign relations committee. Senator Hitchcock said he would present them to the senate before the vote set for one o'clock on the Borah amendment amendment to” the: resolution: of Sen- ator Underwood of Alabama for lim- iting Senate: debate. In his letter the president explain- ing his statement in his address of January 8,, advocating “Open cove- nants of peace openly arrived “| said he had particular reference to the prevalent practice in Europe of} keeping secret those treaties that have been ratified. Treaties, the president indicated in his letter, should be made public at ter their negotiation. The processes of negotiations, however, he suggest- ed, can be better satisfied without un. due publicity which might ‘embarrass their course. The president’s letter said: “1 wish you would be kind enough to formulate a careful and conclusive memorandum for the use of the com- mittee of the Senate with regard to the enclosed. I. take it for granted that you feel as I do that this is no time to act as\the resolution jtrescribes and certainly when i _ pronounced for open diplomacy, I meant not.that there should be. no private discussions of delicate matters but that no secret agreements shold be entered into and that all international relations, when fixed, should be open, above board and explicit.” The memorandum requested from Secretary Lansing was not submitted to Senator Hitchcock and was said not to have yet been completed. eee? {YESTERDAY'S SPORT SUMMARY | ot.
