QUIET PREPARATIONS TO OPEN
EXCHANGE-OIL ISSUES
A'RE IN DEMAND
New York, Nov. 12.-Removal of all
rcstrictions, including the publication
of prices, was signalized by lively
trading in the curb market today. The
fet:lures were the various subsidiaries
of the Standard Oil company, some
of which changed hands at prices con
saierably above the prices quoted at
the close of July 30, when the out
side market suspended operations be
cause of the war.
Other stocks of an industrial or
mining character were active, but the
rc, business, which attained fairly
large proportions was in the oil is
sues, for which an out of town inquiry
\\as reported.
Many Houses on Curb
Many stock exchange houses are
r-;,resented on the curb and much
of the day's busIness seemed to be
ha.ed on an investment demand. The
better tone of this market caused a
further rise in l:sted stocks in the
unofficial market and a new high rec

Normal Exchange Rates
An important development toward
the resumption of regular operations
in the leading financial markets of
the world was recorded today when
sterling exchange fell to normal rates
for the first time since the beginning
of the twar. Cables on London were
quoted at 485% and sight drafts at
There were heavy offerings of bills
but buyers were scarce, a fact which
tended to confirm the belief prevalent
in many quarters that local banking
intcrests with foreign obligations had
purchased more exchange than they
had found was necessary.
Another feature hearing directly $
upen this development was the call
by the banking syndicate, which re- a
ce:ltly sold $100,000,000 New York city I
(t per cent notes for payment of an
other installment to meet maturities
falling due in London find Paris. With a
this subscription fully three-fourths of
the entire $100,000,000 will have been h
raid, causing further heavy gold ex- t
Torts to Ottawa. Exchange on Ger- R
many fell to a new low figure, the
decline being attended by reports of
the establishment of additional mer
cnandise .credits by Hamburg and
frankfort interests. $
Exchange to Reopen r
There were further indications that
preparations were being made quietly
to reopen the stock exchange, pre
sunmably on a restricted basis, with
dealings only for cash. Authorities of
the exchange today not only removed
TIhe ban prohibiting the lpublication of
curb quotations, but annolncllentl
ewas made that some houses \\:th e'x
uhange memberships were reinsl:illn
P-rivale wires to out of town tints.
On the other hand, :avlices from
London were of a loss reassuring
character, so far as they had to dot
with the resumption of market doal
ings, there. The government's irefusal
to extend the moratorium would, it
was feared, necessitate more lryquida
lion, especially in American issues.
P,'.r the first time in sonme \weeks the
I;nnk of England failed to show a gold
ir .rease in its returns; instead the
I ank lost about a million dollars, in
cidlentally showing a slight falling off
in liiability reserves.
The ruling of the federal reserve
loard defining commercial paper is
exl ected to make some changes in
rates soon after the new system gets
tinder way. Additional retirement of
emergency currency was reported by
local banks, bringing the total of that
movement to date to over $46,000,000.
BY THOUSANDS OF FISH
OF VERY TENDER AGE
STREAMS ENRICHED
Twenty-five cans of eastern brook
,trout fry were received by the local
anglers' club yesterday from the
,state fish hatchery at Anaconda. Mem
bers of the organization met the train
with automobiles and within a cou
ple of hours the little fishes were
safely planted in their new homes, be
ing about equally distributed between
the natural fish nurseries of the Big
Blackfoot and Bittegr; oot rivers.
This will probably.Abe the last con
signment of fry to Comhe from the state
hatchery this fall. However, a ship

PROVISIONS RISE
Chicago, Nov. 12.-Although peace
rumors led to a fresh break today in
the price of wheat, the effect was not
of a lasting sort, as European buying
soon rallied the market. Closing quo
tations were steady at 1, to %c above
last night's figures.
Corn made a gain of 14 to %c net
and oats /@1s(ic to n(iic. In pro
visions the outcome varied from un
changed figures to a rise of 17%c.
Wheat Sales Decline
Decided falling off in the amount
of wheat purchased in the country,
both northwest and southwest, helped
to make quotations firm at the start
and was also to some extent responsi
ble for the bullish reaction during the
last part of the day. Oin the other
hand, receipts at primary terminals
continued to exceed last year's ar
rivals and acted somewhat as an off
set in favor of the bears.
Predictions of unsettled weather to
night and tomorrow, put strength into
corn, as did the fact that the export
call for old corn was larger than
could be supplied.
Advancing prices for hogs at sev
eral western points tended to make
provisions average higher.

have been on a strike, and apparently
their cause is won, for there is not an
egg on the local market. Howeler, an
occasional dozen or so find their way
to market and there is a scramble for
them at 40 cents per.
Yesterday the customers of the lo
cal stores who called for eggs were
disappointed, for there were none to
buy. There has been a shortage of
eggs here for several weeks, and last
week the Stevensville creamery, which
has ranch eggs gathered simultaneous
ly with its cream, received only about
twelve dozen.

PRESIDENT INSULTED
BY NEGRO DELEGATION
TVasington, Nov. 12.-President Vil
son while receiving a delegation of ne
groes, who came to the White House
today to protest against segregating
negroes in government departments,
objected to the tone adopted by their
spokesman, WV. M. Trotter of Boston,
and told the committee that, it it called
on him again, it would have to get a
new chairman. The president added
that he had not been addressed in such
a manner since he entered the White
House.
The delegation charged that Secre
tary of the Treasury MleAdoo, Postmas
ter General BIurelson and Comptroller
Williams had enforced segregation. The
president said investigation had dis
closed no discrimination and that seg
regation had been started to avoid
friction between the races.
Trotter and other delegates took
issue with the presidelnt. They denied
that there had been any friction. The
president listened to what they had.to
say and then told the delegation that
Trotter was losing control of his tem
per. Then the president said that he
voult not. discuss the matter further
,wilth Trotter.
After leaving the president, the
deloeation declared their talk had been
"throughly disappointing." They de
clared that they would hold a mass
meeting in Washington Sunday to dis
cuss the question. The president is
understood to have told the committee
that the question was not political and
he would not take it up on political
grounds.
