GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. January 3-Interest on
change today centered in sharp de-
cline in corn. January, which closed last
night at CHS. opened this morning a cent
lower, and within an hour had fallen
virtually an additional cents. to 6l1s
Active selling took place in every corn
option on the list but heaviest pressure
was on January. The heavy stock here
was said to be finding no adequate out
let. Moreover. the chief owner was said
to have hedged by sales of May
On top of all this there were reports
of heavy rains in Argentina, insuring q
huge crop. Corn values started 70 to 1c
lower, and went down grade without in
terruption. The declines in May and De-
cember. however, averaged only about
half cent The close was steady, X to
- under last night.
A decided element Of weakness in the
market was the fact that mercha ndising
call has been Unexpectedly measer. Be-
fore the close of the session however
prices in the pit rallied to some extent
owing to demand which developed
among shorts. January closed steady at

night
Wheat showed strength on reports Of

continued unfavorable. and there was a
falling off in receipts northwest. Prices
started n shade lower to &c higher, but
afterward reacted somewhat. Small OF

LOCAL BANKERS DISCUSS
MORGAN C0MPANY'S ACT
Breaking Up Of Interlocking Direc
torates Throughout Country
Foreshadowed,

The decision of the firm of j. F., Nor
gan g. Co. to withdraw from MEM
bership i'm the directorates of a score or
more of big corporations, was the chief
topic of conversation among the local
bankers and brokers today. The opinion
was expressed that the step taken by
the Morgan company would not affect
stocks or business in general, certainly
not in the National Capital.
The belief is growing, however, that
the Morgan company would not have
taken this step, and that George +. Bak-
er of New York. another of the great
American financicrS, would not have fol-
lowed suit had they not been convinced
that the administration had determined
upon legislation which would have. had
the same effect in the end. II legislation is
to be enacted prohibiting interlocking di-
rectorates. and it Sstrongly animated
doubtedly the local financial field will be
affected to a certain extent. Ii is VOL
known that many Of the banks and pub
lie utility corporations have directors
who are one and the same.
IF the Morgan company found that it
was taking too much of their time to
attend the directors meetings and to
look after the business of all these
other corporations. 1t was a wise move
for it to discontinue membership in
of one of the prominent brokers on the
local exchange today.
Another broker declared that he saw
no reason why the same men should
not be directors in the various COM
panics in which they were financially in
terested. They have better opper-
tunitics for looking after their inter-
ests, was his comment

a bore! And he tore the coupon across
and threw it in the waste paper basket
rather than take the few moments neces-
sary to cash the coupon. The coupon was
worth exactly one dollar and a half, and
1t vanished into thin air, SO far as the
young man was concerned
With hardly more than a quarter of the
members of the local exchange present
today, business was decidedly not as
lively the weather outside. The trad
ing. what there was of il. was confined

MORE PAY AT NAVY YARDS.
Secretary Daniels Decision Benefit:
About 1,4OO Employees.

About 1,400 employees in Atlantic and
Pacific navy yards will share in a wage
increase of somewhat more than $4,000
annually, according to a decision made
by Secretary Daniels. The yards
whose employees will receive share
In the increase are those at Ports
mouth, n. H.; Boston. New York. Phila
delphia, Norfolk. Charleston. s. c.: Mare
Island, Cal, and Puget sound, Wash.
The increases become effective at once.
A very few trades in two yards have
been decreased, but Secretary Daniels
said that this was due to previously
existing inequalities. Mr.. Daniels ex-
planned that the total amount of re-
auctions will not be over $500 year,
and will effect less than fifty employees.

LOSS IN AMMONIA PRODUCT.
Total of $22, 100000 Annual Waste
at Coke Ovens.

A waste annually in the United States
of $4,000 900 worth of ammonia is due
to the practice Of making coke in the bee
hive type Of oven, which does not admit
the recovery of the distilIation products,
Department of Agriculture experts figure
From this ammonia there should be
made, they say, ammonia sdlphate. a val
liable fertilizing material. About $4,000
OOO worth of the ammonia is obtained an
nually as a by-product of coke making,
while more than FIVE times that much is
allowed to go to waste. They point out
that this country imports annually from
chile about 10000 tons of sodium nj
trate for fertilizer. although it contains
Is per cent less nitrogen than ammonium
sulphate.
The department also calls attention to
the waste Of another valuable fertiltzing
material in the form of tankage and blood
from slaughter houses. which contains a
large. percentage Of nitrogen and other
products used in commercial fertilizer.
