FINANCE
Reading MOST active OF
Leaders IN EARLY TRADING
Weakness of the Stock Attributed to
Fact That Interstate Commerce Com
mission Has Affairs of the Anthra-
cite Roads Under Review

New York, March 1S.-Wall Street
The feature of to-day's early market
was one point decline in Reading. de-
spite the maintenance of the regular
dividend. The stock was the most ac.
tive of the leaders in the initial trading
and offerings suggested short selling
rather than liquidation. Other promi.
nent issues were affected in lesser de-
gree, the Paciies and United States
steel falling under yesterdays close.
Coppers, American smelling and motor
shares and Mexican petroleum were
fractionally higher.
Reading continued to be the over.
shadowing feature of the morning ses,
sion, supplying over 80 per cent. of the
first hours business and declining TO
1925 or tx points. The fact that the
Interstate Commerce Commission now
has the affairs of the anthracite roads
under review was the chief argument
advanced in connection with Reading s
weakness. Lehigh Valley, however,
was dull and scarcely affected. Other
leaders held within easy range of their
opening prices, while coppers made sub
stantial gains. Pressed steel scored a
new high price at 5S%, but U. S. steel
was under pressure. Minor bond issues
were weak.

SHIP Goods ON TRANSPORTS
Will Use U. s. Army Vessels to Garry
Commodities From Philippines
to America

Washington, March 1S.-Because of
the lack of shipping facilities between
the Philippine Islands and the United
States, army transports will be utilized
for carrying goods from the islands
which could not be transported in any
other way. Secretary Garrison to-day
called President Wilson s attention to.
the report from Governor General Har-
,rison of the unfortunate condition"
in the Philippines because of lack Of
ships for exports to the United States.
At first it was suggested that naval
colliers returning from the islands be
used but Secretary Daniels was ad-
vised, that was not authorized by law.
Secretary Garrison found. however,
that there has been no objection to us
ing returning army transports provided
their freight is first made over to the
island government.
The quartermaster general of the
army has found that about 5000 tons
space will be available on each ship.
SECRETARY Garrison will instruct Cover
nor General Harrison to invite pro-
pOsals. from shipping companies to car
ry all exports offered to the govern
ment transports so that nothing will be
carried by the government which could
be handled by private shipping. Presi-
dent Wilson has approved Secretary
Garrison s plan and it will shortly be
put in effect.

New York, March 1S.-Work is be-

than dozen steamers here with food
supplies, ammunition, guns, motor
trucks and other material for the Use
of the allies in the war. Several steam
ship companies have been compelled to
charter additional vessels to carry to
Europe heavy cargoes waiting on New
York piers. The steamer Matte was at
the French Line pier to-day taking on
board 12,000-ton cargo, said to be
chiefly of war supplies, while another
French vessel, La Gascogne, was being
prepared to take horses to the allied
armies on the continent. The steamer,
which was formerly in the passenger
service, was equipped with stalls for
that purpose.
The Philadelphia was to leave for
Liverpool to-day with large cargo

loading to sail Saturday. The Europa
and other italian steamships sailing this
week had their decks crowded with
horses and their holds well filed with
