EXECUTIVE BODY
IS too UNNIELDY
Joint Department Committee
Under Fire-Meets at
White House.

Before the first regular meeting OF the
joint committee Of the executive de-
partments on economy IN the Govern
ment has been held. there has arisen
question Of whether the committee
is properly constituted for the dispatch
or business.
According 10 the present Plan for the
Presidents inquiry into the methods
best adapted for promoting economy
and efficiency In the Government the
committee presided over by DR. T. A.

lief that the committee is TOO large anC

Balls Groqu More Confdent-No Changes Today.
STEADY STOCK MARKET,
WITH BUT FEW CHANGES
IN QUOTATIONS.

NEW YORK, Oct s.-TOday's mar
ket was unsatisfactory TO every one
looking for action. The changes were
OF the smallest daily average for
weeks, unimportant, in so far as the
leaders were concerned, and in gen
eral with only q few stocks showing
as much as A0% net change either
way. The bears did not consider the
position especially favorable 20 their
side Of the trading. and the bulls
found il hard work 10 make the list
respond 10 their views, the result be-
ing inactivity. undue steadiness, and
but little chance for the daily trader
TO turn an honest penny through
scalping operations. Time and again
the market looked as If it would move
on up 10 higher levels. and then turn
back in eishths and quarters. The
very narrOWness of the groove
checked all scalping operations.
London came in with advances pre-
dominating There was nothing new
in the situation Signs Of a recur-
renee Of the Old-time dispute between
Turkey and Greece were rather plain
ly in evidence but the Street feels that
the powers that dominate will not
permit any serious Upheaval.
II is generally reported that the fall
ing of in the orders booked by the
United States Steel Corporation for
the third quarter viii not show more
than 100000 decrease II this should
prove a correct estimate, the Situa-
ton in Steel would be encouraging
because Of the large amount Of new
business that is beginning 20 come in
and the outlook for more liberal
placements.
