dent Wilson today made a strong
plea for business preparedness. His
address was delivered to nearly l..

the nations security lay In the abil-
ity TO accomplish success In their
undertakings and promptly and ef-
fectually mobilize her resources up
on immediate demand.
Domestic questions to which he
recently has called the attention of

need of American ships to handle
the country's foreign trade.
Down to the war of 1872" he said,
"the seas were full OF American
ships, American commerce was
everywhere. Then we were a small
ration. Now we are great nation,
and the seas are almost barren OF
our vessels"

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-That the
stock market should have respond
ed with a sharp decline in prices.
instead of an advance, to the publ
cation Of an Unexpectedly favorable
statement OF unfinished business
from the United States Steel cor
poration, showed today that specula-
tive impetus has been turned, for
the time being, in a direction away
from that whfHh Wall street had
committvT itself to, recently.
Only once In all its history did the
steel corporal ion issue a report that
disclosed for a single month a great
er increase In untitled orders than
was disclosed for the month of No
vember. Until the report was made
at noon today, Wall street had been
led to believe that there would be
shown al increase OF something like
100000 or 100000 tons; instead.
there was shown an increase OF l.
O24, 900 tons, the largest In the cor
porstion's history, with the single
exception of October, 1912. when
there was an increase OF l,043, 900
tons.
That the stock market failed to re.
spond to the statement OF today. and
that United States Steel common fell
rapidly In price after tho statement
had been made, leading the whole
list downward. was heartily disap-
pointing To thoge who lately had
looked forward TO an expanding
stock market speculation.
