Changes in Values Limited
to Fractions With but
Few Exceptions.
UTAH COPPER DROPS
United States Steel Takes
Unexpected Decline in
Early Hours.
New York, March 1.—Trading In
slocks today was quiet, price changes,
except In certain of the more specu
lative Issues, being limited to frac,
lions. The few Isolated features of
strength again Included shares that
receive their propulsion from pool
operators.
A moderate degree of short selling
was Induced during the morning on
the further complications in the for
eign situation, notably In eastern Is
sues. but the market for foreign re
mittances was unaltered aside from
another break In Italian exchange.
Transportation Quiet.
Adoption by the house of the ad
ministration's railroad bill evoked no
response In transportation shares,
denlings In that division being the
lightest of any recent day.
The poor earnings of the Pennsyl
vania system for January, lines east
nnd west of Pittsburgh showing largo
deficits in net Income, doubtless had
their origin In the unfavorable Indus
trial conditions prevalent at that pe
riod.
Utah Copper's dividend cut from
S.1.50 to$2.50 occasioned no surprise,
such action having been foreshadowed
In the recent downward trend of metal
shares.
Airbrake Dselinss.
Neyj York Airbrake's dectlno of al
most 5 points followed publication of
the company's annual report, disclos
ing a large shrinkage In net profits,
Tobaccos, General Motors, utilities,
beet sugar. Hears-Roebuck, Industrial
Alcohol nnd Pittsburgh Coal embraced
the heavier miscellaneous shares, off
set In a measure by Lackawanna Steel,
shippings, oils and American Coy.
United States Steel forfeited a large
fraction. Sales amounted to 335,000
shares.
Bonds eased again. Liberty issues
displaying firmness. Total sales, par
value, aggregated $2,575,000. United

BOSTON WOOL
Boston, March 1.—The Commercial
Bulletin will say tomorrow;
Demand for wool suitable for mill
tary uses has been of fair proportions
this week and the market has been
firm for wools of this type. Business
proceeded smoothly until the an
nouncement of Acting Quartermaster
General Goethals on Thursday that the
government would exercise its option
on all foreign importations, grading
low quarter blood to three-eighths,
both combing and clothing, at prices
5 per cent under July 30, where the
wools were bought December 15 or
subsequently. This announcement un
settled the trade momentarily.
Manufacturers are finding a steady
civilian demand, but are avoiding
over-commitments on account of the
expectation of large government orders.

LARGE QUANTITY OF
CORN FOR ALLIES
Middle West Committee to
Purchase Product.
St. Louis, March 1.—During the next
three weeks between 500.000 and 750,
000 bushels of corn will be purchased
each day by committees In St. Louis,
Chicago, Minneapolis, Duluth, Mil
waukee, Omaha and Kansas City, for
shipments to the allies. according to
a telegram received by the local food
committee today from the federal food
administration.
In that period no corn will he
shipped from those cities to domestic
consumers without special permits
from the grain division of the food ad
ministration. V
The dally receipts of corn in the
cities named are between 1,500,00« and
2,000,000 bushels.
BRADSTREET'S
New York. March 1.—Hradstroets to
morrow Will say:
Freer movements, superinduced by
better weather, larger supplies of coal
and improvement in transportation fa
cilities both on land and water, which,
however, are still not by any means
free of congestion, have given birth to
more cheerful feelings, it is true that
preferences un to govcrnmentul re
quirements operate to circumscribe ac
tivities in certuln civilian enterprises,
and this factor coupled with the con
cededly marked shortage of many kinds
of manufactured goods, deters ordinary
trading from rising to its fullest height,
but even so the general tendency is
toward broader developments, except
where ultra non-essentials arc con
cerned. Winter wheat crop news is
more favorable. Propaganda to in
crease the growing of foodstuffs is
being transformed into action. Indus
trial outputs give evidence of being
undamped. Labor disturbances arc
neglihlc, war production is ahead of
schedules. Trade in staple goods is
expanding, and marked by considerable
inter-dealing between Jobbers, tills be
ing especially true of textiles, paucity
of which Is noteworthy, and demand
for which looms large notwithstanding
upward bounding prices. IYi fact the
dearth of textile creates fears of a
famine iuier on, and causes retail mer
chants. many of whom visited tin'
lnrger markets this week, to buy more
freely than they should like to do. On
the other hand so-culled luxuries are
comparatively neglected, but even in
this respect odd Incidents are numer
ous enough to develop exceptions to the
rule, and In a general way buying of
spring goods by the ultimate consumer
is still held In leash awaiting spring
weather.

OATS AVERAGE HIGHER
Commission House Activity
Lifts Provisions With
Hogs on Decline.
Chicago. March 1.—Virtual certainly
of a liberal and sustained export de
mand gave firmness today to the corn
market. From the outset, prices
showVd a slight advance, and there
was a steady close, at the same ns yes
terday's finish to a shade higher, with
March. $1.27% and May. $1.27. The
outcome in oats ranged from a shade
off to gains of % 47 %• Provisions rose
5477 to 22c net. Corn traders devoted
chief attention to notices that unttl
March 10 the food administration
would take 500,000 bushels to 750,000
bushels dally for export.
The fact, however, that the market
for future deliveries was already near
to the maximum limit on values left
but little Incentive to speculative bulls.
Complaints of failure of eastern roads
to provide cars for shipments also
t< nded to check any decided upturn.
The result was that during much of
the session dealings in futures were
nt a complete standstill and details of
prlcechanges had no special signlfi
co nee.
Oats Higher.
Oats averaged higher as a result of
continued scantiness of arrivals. Bear
ish estimates of farm reserves led at
times, though, to considerable selling,
especially of the May option.
Commission house buying lifted pro
visions, despite weakness in the hog
market. Offerings were light through
on I the day.
