COMPLIMENTS THE FORCE.
Postmaster General Pleased With
Handling of Christmas Mail.

The Postmaster General has addressed
a letter of commentator to employees Of
the postal service. praising them, ind-
and collectively for the efficiency
with which the extraordinarily heavy
Christmas mail, both parcel post and or
binary. was handled. The letter follows:
ITO the officers and Employees of the
Postal Service:
THE splendid manner in which every
employe of the postal service, in the de-
partment and in the field, acquitted him
self in handling the enormous quantity
of mail during the recent holiday season
is not only a source Of deep qualification
to me, but pride to every American
citizen. Although the parcel post more
than doubled the usual volume Of Christ
mas mail, the task Of handling this mail
proved not so much a test Of the capacity
of the postal service as an opportunity
for the employees to demonstrate their
ability to meet all emergencies. The
result is substantial evidence of
the energy, resourcefulness, efficiency and
10y atty Of every employee. wherever his
post of duty, from the highest to the
most inconspicuous. This achievement
assures me that all emergencies of the
future will be promptly and effectively
met.
II extend to you my very best wishes
for a happy and prosperous New Year.
(Sigued) "a. 8. BURLESON,
Postmaster General"

Weakness in New York Central
and Baltimore & Ohio
Check ReCOverieS.
RECORD QUOTATIONS
LOWEST FOR YEARS
Selling of Copper and Steel Con-
tribute to Depressing Factors.
Closing Is Strong.

NEW YORK, January ..-openins
prices of stocks today showed an ir-
regular tendency, with most of the
leading issues under yesterdays close.
Baltimore and Ohio lost practically Il
point in the early dealings, while
Union Pacific declined a substantial
fraction and it's convertible bonds over
two points
Gains of u and q. points in Wheel
ing and Lake Erie second preferred
and first preferred. respectively, were
the only advances of note.
Prices continued to droop after the
opening. with greatest weakness IN
New York Central and Baltimore and
Ohio both recording lowest quotations
for some years.
The tendency toward recovery else
where was checked by heaviness In
Steel and Amalgamated Copper.
Liquidation and Short Selling.
Indications of liquidation and short
selling were not lacking in today's early
market Further consideration OF Union
Pacihc's Baltimore and Ohio plan seemed
to be attended by fears of reduced dlvi-
bends in other high-srade stocks, as
recently given rise to misglvlnss.
This undoubtedly accounted Tor tne
weakness of Baltimore and Ohio and New
York Central, which registered new low
records for a considerable period, to-
gether with / to point losses in Cnfon
Pacific Canadian Pacific, st. Paul, Nor
folk and Western and American Iele-
phone.
Selling of Amalgamated Copper and
Steel accompanied unfavorable trade re-
ports. Any foreign tendency to buy mere
was probably checked by alarming ad-
vices from Brazil.
Bonds were irregular.
Some Large Recoveries.
Stocks rebounded easily when pressure
relaxed Reading, Southern Pacific and
Baltimore and Ohio sold fractionally
above yesterdays close and large recov-
cries were made in other shares.
Aside from increasing dizziness, the mar
ket underwent no material changes in the
late afternoon.
Recoveries were held. for the most
part, except in Steel and Amalgamated,
against which pressure was occasionally
renewed.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, January stop loss sell
ing. by exhausted longs brought a fresh
break today in the price of corn. Margin
calls last night were stiff and had not well
been responded to- Offers Of corn from
the Danube to Atlantic ports in the
United States showed further reduc-
ton in values, with cargoes pressed for
sale Besides, the mild weather indi-
Gated that there would be no immediate
enlargement of the demand for feed. The
market opened 4 to 3sa1a lower and re-
acted only trffle.
Wheat was bearishly affected by the de-
preston of corn and by lower cables.
Fine weather in both the winter and
spring crop belts acted also against the
bulls Prices started unchanged to IS
lower, but then rallied somewhat.
Oats gave way with corn. Pit traders
and commission houses turned almost
unanimously to the selling side.
Declining prices for hogs carried down
provisions. Grain weakness, too. counted
In favor Of drop in values. First sales
varied from last nights level to SC off.
