There was scattered selling largely offset by buying or short covering with the result price averages showing a scant change. The close was barely steady. Today's transfers amounted to 300,000 shares. Brokers said distress selling prac- tically vanished during the past two sessions and there is a ten- dency among professionals to cov- er short commitments. Bonds are somewhat steadier.

Publicity Clause WASHINGTON, Feb. 18—In di- rect opposition tn Speaker Garner’s ideas, Democratic Leader of the Senate, Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas, yesterday revived the is- sue supposedly settled by proposing a repeal of the clause directing publicity of the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation’s loans. Speaker Garner insisted the loans be published. Causes Trouble Scnator Robinson contends the publications to date have “been caysing trouble, and in some in- stances, very serious trouble. It does not appear that the publicity provision has accomplished any- thing wholesome and it is my opinion there is a general demand| for modification of the statute in| this particular.” Senator' Robinson claimed suf- ficient support to pass the new measure which has been referred to the Senate Banking Committee. INTERIOK DEPT, BILL IS SIGNED WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Presi- dent Hoover has signed the $43,- 000,000 Interior Department bill,| the second of the big measures be enacted at the present sessio Although there is some dissatis- faction expressed at the present leaders, all joined in saying they will continue plans for a hunger march on March 1 on Olympia where the Legislature is in session. Dissenters said an effort will be made to change the present Ex- ecutive Committee and policies of the Unemployed Citizens League which conducted the recent dem- onstration.

The latter, however, will be there sev- eral days prior to the inauguration of President Roosevelt. They will present to the National Chairman a complete list of appointments asked for by the local organization for all major offices in the Terri- tory. Harmony In Ranks “IL has been gratifying to me to note the harmony that has pre- vailed in the Divisional organiza- tions in the selection of candidates for local offices,” Mr. Connors de- clared. Slates have been com- pleted for the more important po- sitions of judge, marshal and dis- trict attorney in three Divisions— First, Second and Third. In_the Fourth, due to absence of Harry Phillips, Chairman, and an unfill- ed vacancy on the Committee, no formal meeting has been held to select a slate. However, by the time: we have an opportunity to present the list to Mr. Farley, this will be remedied, and the com- plete Territorial slate will go in as a unit. “The recommendations of the Divisional Committee for appoint- ments are based upon precinct committee organizations very large- ly. Minor offices, such as Deputy Marshals and United States Com- missioners will in turn be filled in the same manner.

The Chinese said the ultimatum stated an attack will be made by the Japanese if the order is not obeyed. The Chinese said they will ig- nore the demand. - Meanwhile Japanese troop move- ments continued and a crisis in Jehol Province seems imminent.
