AMERICAN cow FEEDS WORLD
Export Sales of Condensed Milk Jump
From 16 to 1855 Million Pounds
in 1916, Says Uncle Sam.

The American cow is playing a big
part in the feeding of the world under
present wartime conditions, Uncle
Sans figures show. The export sales
of condensed milk during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1916, rose to the
stupendous total of 156,O00,OOO pounds
valued at $12,500,OOO, as compared
with exports of 100000 pounds in
1915 and an annual average Of 16,OOO,-
600 pounds in the five-year period
from 1910 to 1914

reau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, department of commerce, was
$24,000,00O, being $10,O00,O00 more than
in 1915, and S21,O0O,00O more than in
1911 or 1913. On the other hand, i'm
ports of that group in 1916 amounted
in value to slightly less than $1O,OOO,-
600, as against $14, 100000 in 1915, S1O,-
100000 in 1913, and $10,0O0,OOO in 1911.
The total exports of cream and milk,
fresh and condensed, amounted to $13,-
100000 during the year, being five
times the value of imports of that
character, while in 1911, FIVE years
earlier. imports valued at $2,OOO,OOO,
were double the value of exports.
Cheese of American manufacture
was also exported in unusual duanti-
ties. the total of 44,OO0,OOO pounds for
1916 being exceeded in recent years
only by the larger aggregate of 55,-
100000 pounds for 1915 and closely ap-

The huge revolving light which has

According to the naval critic, Hector
C.. Bywater, SO far as building ways
and construction plans are concerned,
there is no reason why Germany could
not have 25 battleships or battle
cruisers under construction at one
time. Though he admits that this fig
u-e may be astonishing, he shows that
an examination Of the various yards,
governmental and private, in Germany,
justifies the estimate. In fact, he says
that, simultaneously, program includ.
ing light cruisers, destroyers and sub
marines, could be put through, since
there are many German yards which,
although they cannot build capital
ships, are well equipped to produce
the lighter craft. He estimates the
total working force in all these yards
at 100000 men.

Accompanying Movement Is
Rumor that Pennsylvania
Will Lease Road.
DISTILLERS ALSO STRONG
American Locomotive Wobbles a BIZ
in Absence of Official Announce
ment of Big War Order.

New York. March ls.-AnOther new low
record for German exchange, some sood
buying Of Anglo-French bonds, activity
OF a few specialties. but dizziness OF the
general market characterized business IN
Wall Street today.
Norfolk and Western was the leader OF
the list. It sold up TO a high record. Ac-
companying this movement was Tumor
that the Pennsylvania Railroad would
lease it on per cent dividend basis.
II is understood to be earning about Il
per cent. Being a property always we'll
managed, il is one of the hrst TO snow
the effect of the bonanza. earnings in
sured by the advance Of rates granted
last year by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Distillers was another stock that
showed strength, and it shared with
Reading the influence Of the Rockefeller
name. The RockefeIlers are making so
much money out of oil that Wall Street
has begun TO invest their surplus for
them. The fact that John d. Rockefeller,
jr. was seen coming out OF ]. P. Morgan
& Co.'S ONCE the other day was accepted
by the Street as legal evidence that he
is to be made a director of the Reading
company.
American Locomotive wobbled a bit in
the absence Of official announcement Of
the sSO,OOOOoo war order that some OF its
directors have been telling their broker
friends about.
Wall Street interpreted all war news
as favorable to an advancing market.
In Mexico conditions were good, except
for a rumor Of excitement in Tampico.
Shipment by the Rock Island OF hfteen
carloads Of motor trucks to Mexico is a
hint of what may happen IL anything
serious develops in that quarter. That
is one reason the Studebaker stock is so
strong.
Because Of dizziness on the exchange,
curb stocks attracted considerable at
tentisn from traders. Submarines state
ment. and the remarkable success OF the
Cuba cane sugar syndicate were RESPONSE
BILE for this. Manipulation In the to-
bacco shares also helped.

oected TO declare a dividend at the rate

Logan & Bryan. of New York, yester-

ing summary Of the closing session OF
the New York exchange:
THE session was devoted largely to
evening up operations. Irregularity pre-
dominated. Remarks credited to the
French minister of finance, Ribot, to the
effect that the end OF the European war
is now in sight was responsible for many
cross-currents. The feeling in the Street
is that the outcome of the operations
before Verdun is likely to change the out
look materially, though just what a new
condition of affairs is likely to be is a
much-mooted question. From a techni-
cal viewpoint, the position of the stock
market has been weakened In the sense
that the short interest has contracted
materially. and outside buying has tenn
porarily subsidized For these reasons a
moderate reaction would seem to be in
order. But, Strong Interests are stfn ar
rayed on the constructive side of things.
