STURDAYSQUET FEATURES HARKET Traders Await Information on Money and Outcome of Railroad Problem. Special Dispatch to The Star. | NEW YORK. February 5 — The | disposition in the security markews | today was to await the week jend bank statements, which will throw light upon this week's rise in money rates and will furnish some {indication of how long this higher level in the money market is likely to last. It was generally agreed that this information would give a cue more than anything else to the im- mediate movement of prices. In the meantime the trading was dull in most stocks and bonds, but the action of the speculative share market, as in yesterday's dealings, entirely bore out the view that the midweek decline was of very Httle importance, that it was the result of any liquidation of consequence, but that it was mainly the work of pro- fessionals operating on the short side. These operations having failed to dislodge much real stock and having resulted in an increase in the short interest, prices regained, in the latter half of yesterday's session and in the two hours of business today, a good part of what they had lost earlier in the week. Scarcely second in interest to the week end bank figures was the: de- cision which is looked for next week by the labor board on the question of abrogating present railway wage con- ract “No place like home; no home like ours” See Our Homes in MICHIGAN PARK At 12th and Michigan Ave., (Brookland), adjacent to millions of dollars of uni- versity buildings. 40 acres in dévelopment.

Today's search was for the gold cache usually asso- ciated with stories of recluses. Breaking in the door of the room yesterday the police were con- fronted with a solid wall of old papers and rags. Burrowing through, they found a dugout, and in it the body of Greesley, who. physicians sald, apparently had been dead several weeks. In Greesley's diary was found a story of misfortune—his ambi- tions, the coming of the time when he opened a shop—how it subse- quently was 1lost in debt—the death of his wife—the abandon- ment of hope—and solitude. FACTORS CITED AS AIDING SHORTS IN STOCK MARKET Tighter Money, Continued Indus- trial Unsettlement and Poor B R. Earnings Week's Survey Shows. NEW YORK. February 5.—Tighter money, continued industrial unsettle- ment and poor railway earnings were among the principal factors which played into the hands of the shorts in the stock market this week, prices gradually failing on nominal dealings. There was a_partial rally in the later trading, but sentiment in pro- fessional quarters remained bearish, a feeling based on the belief that eco- nomic conditions favor further read- justment. Oils were the outstanding features, those issues being influenced by the pronounced change in the industry, as seen in the country-wide reduction of vrices for raw and refined products. Steels, cquipments and the many specialties which follow in their train denoted the disappointment felt in trade circles at the lack of buying power, and shippings made further concessions to lower freight rates. The investment market was almost the only reassuring feature, new un- derwritings, chiefly of domestic mu- nicipalities, being readily absorbed, albeit at unusually attractive inter- est yields.

TOKI1O, February 4.—Defeat of a suffrage measure supported by the |Kenaei—Kli. or opposition party in !the house of representatives, today {has resulted in the expulsion of Yukio Ozaki and Daikichiro Tagawa, two leaders of the organization. The reason assigned for their’ expulsion was their failure to rally in support iof the party's bill, M.

Tigpts, [I1K, Orakt as been prominent in urging & resolution that the Japa- nese government approach foreign powers with a view to reaching an agreement restricting armaments, and {it is believed his attitude in this mat- ter affected his situation in the party, as his views were not shared by M. Kato, head of the Kensei-Kai. 'Im- mediately after it was announced that M. Ozaki had been read out of the organization, twenty-seven mem- bers of the house resigned from the Kensei-Kai out of sympathy with him. The bills introduced by the two parties were debated in the house during the day, the XKokumin-To measure being ardently supported by | Nachiko Seki. He contended the best way to remove the belief that Japan is a military nation would be to give the vote to all the people, thus con- vincing foreign critics that the gov- ernment’s views are really those of the Japanese population. He ex- pressed the belief that the govern- | ment’s “persistent suppression of the people’s just claims” might cul- minate in a “dreadful national out- burst.” b “It is regrettable he declared, “that Japanese should be discrim- inated against in California, but the Japanese government also discrim- nates against its own people by re- stricting the right to vote.” Opposing the two bills, Premier Hara asked why the Kokumin-To party had excluded the women of Japan from the terms of its proposed ! extension of the right to vote. He declared the present law, which stipulates a person must pay a di- |rect tax of three yen per year, Was the best qualification for voters under existing conditions in Japan. Wachi Seki. a pupil of Woodrow Wilson at Princeton University, led the debate in favor of the bill intro- duced by the Kensei-Kai. g HOSPITAL FOR MINERS.

Courts Full of Children. BUDAPEST, February 5.—Many of the poor people of this city are being driven to wholesale thievery by the fuel shortage. The recent theft of twenty-five carloads of wood from one train of 100 carloads as it entered the city shows the extent to which the stealing is going on. Wood is 80 scarce that when a wag- onload is driven through the streets people stop and gaze after it until it is out of sight. Daring #mall boys are ever on the alert for a stray piece of wood or anything that will give heat at home. They scamper after every passing wood wagon, but are soon frightened away by long whips In the hands of two ‘women who sit on guard astride the load. The operation of unloading a ton of Hungary’s inferior brown coal before a house attracts many neighbors, who make a pathetic picture as they watch basketful after basketful disappear into the coal bin of the more fortu- nate one. Because of the urgency to obtaln tuel, by dishonest means, if honest ones are of no avail, the juvenile courts were never so crowded with youthful offenders. Gas factories are provided with coal for only twenty-four hours at a tim. and the gus is turned on now only at roon and after 6 o'clock. Only one light is permitted in a room, and not more than three rooms in a house or single apartment may be lighted at the same time. Even at the most ex- pensive hotels there is no running hot water.

BY STUART P. WEST. will make for the first three months Special Dispatch to The Star. 0'0“21‘-“ e 2 e stz ool g n e other hand, fair-minde NEW YORK, February 5.—The|juagment will insist that the rail- moderate decline on the stock ex- change this week has been explain- ed by some critics as the resuit of the advance in money rates and com- mercial discounts. While this has been something of an influence no doubt the movement of prices could be accounted for quite as well by conditions within the market itself. The upturn in the first fortnight of January was altogether too rapid for the bargain hunters of December to follow. Nobody supposed thatthe time had come for any sustained speculation for the rise, consequent- ly there was no buying power sup- plied from speculative sources after prices had had their ten to fifteen point advance. These high figures were reached wholly through the excited bidding of traders short of stocks, and when these covering purchases were over there was nothing to hold the mar- ket at its high level. A reaction that would carry prices back to where they would once more attract real buying was inevitable. It would have come about regardiess of the course of money rates. This reaction is what has been taking place during the past week. It has left the mar- ket in_a stronger position, because what little fresh speculation was initiated_a month ago has been un- done and the short interest consid- erably increased. The Bond Market. The real test of the importance of the higher money rates has been wit- nessed in the bond market. Bond prices are down generally from their top, but considering their previous rise the reaction is very slight. There has been no setback to speak of in preferred industrial shares and in other investment stocks which had such a large advance during the first half of last month. Had the harden- ing of money been taken very seri- ously, were it expected to last, securi- ties of fixed yield which had gone up on the belief that the main tendency of interest rates was to work lower would have certainly shown more| sensitiveness than they have. As a matter of fact, even such little falling off as there has been In bond prices could be ascribed to causes other than the rise in money. It was clear two weeks ago that the long-term mortgage issues which had got back to a 5%ab5% per cent basis hadj reached the utmost limit of their advance. Moreover, there has been the con- stantly increasing competition with htese flotations of high investment rank and more attractive yield. 1In view of the enormous outpour of new offerings during the last month it is not surprising that the bond market should have paused in its advance. 1t is only surprising that it should not have reacted more. As to Call Money. The 8 and 9 per cent call money rates and the advance from 6% to 71 per cent in time loans on indus- trial collateral are to be accounted for in part by the large requirements of underwriting syndicates bringing out the various new capital issues, in part by heavy government withdrawals and in part by Wall street’s overdoing the relaxation last month and lower- ing its bid for funds to such an ex- tent that the interior banks withdrew their money from New York for the more profitable uses offered at home. These are temporary influences only. The big things are the improvement in the general banking position as it appears in the Federal Reserve Board atio and the reduction in the obliga- tions of reserve banks in the agricul- tural regions to banks in other sec- tions, which have not been under such a strain. It would be quite easy un- der the federal reserve system for in- stitutions having a high percentage of reserve to take over discounts from the New York bank and so relieve what tension there is in the New York market. This has been done to some extemt already; that it has not been done on a larger scale is simply an indication that the heads of the banking community see no necessity of it, that the money market at New York is expected to ease withoutt much help being required from the outside. Trade Recovery Slow Process. The general trade situation is still a good deal mixed, but there is no fresh ground for pessimism. The movement of industry is following precisely the lines anticipated at the outset of the year. There has been further price cutting in some direc- tions, notably in oil, sugar and steel. On the other hand, the motor trade is doing better, with plants starting up again, and the reports from the textile industry and from the dis- tributive trade are better than they were a month ago. The chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, who is perhaps in closer touch than any other single individual with financial and commercial conditions, has again taken occasion to state publicly that the crisis is passed, that all danger of panic is over, that the credit situa- tion is steadily on the mend, and that while recovery in trade will be slow 1* has positively begun in some qua: ters, and may be expected in time to extend to others. This seems to be an eminently sane view of things, and it is the opinion of the man who was one of the first to sound the warning in the autumn of 1919, and one of the first to forecast the change for the better when the situation was at its worst toward the close of 1920. The Raflway Situat Regarding the very important rail- way problems which must soon be settled, public opinion is not likely to be on the side entirely of either one of the contestants. It will maintain that the transportation industry can- not expect to escape its share of the depression which has overtaken other lines of trade, and thererore that it is quite as unfair to judge the ral way situation by the operating deficii of January as it would be to Jud, the outlook for manufacturing indus- tries by the melancholy showing which many of these companies have made for the December quarter and b o A A A A A A c.

CHICAGO, February Severe downturns in the wheat market this week have been largely the resuit of I big breaks in Argentine quotations and of uncertainty which has fol- lowed announcement of the allies’ terms to Germany. Compared wiih a week ago, wheal this morning was 4 to 13% lower, corn was down 1% to 2, oats off 't und provisions showing a set to 85 up. Ostensible heavy discounts on Ar- gentine wheat as compared with do- mestic proved such a seurce of vex- ation to traders here that finally the drastic step was taken of putting a ban on the posting of quotations from Buenos Aires. It was charged by President Grifiin of the Chicago Board of Trade, who sponsored this action, that the Buenos Aires prices did not intelligently reflect supply - and - de- mand conditions, and were worse than useless. Predictions that Germany would refuse the allies’ terms hap pened to accompany word of on the sharpest breaks i tine market. and this greatly to emphasize selli Tl T, based on untoward ind financial conditions, and temporary apparent likelihood ‘of defeat for the emergency tariff bill at Washington.
