FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.
Pressure Was Directed Against the
 Most Prominent Stocks.

New York, Apral S.-Pressure was directed against the more prominent stocks at the outset of today's brief session of the stock exchange. Such issues as United States Steel and the better known rails declined to lowest prices of the week. These losses were largely, if not wholly. retrieved before the close when a spirited de- mand for metals, especially the zinc shares, brought about general re- versal.
 American zinc, the most active fea- ture of the day. made a new high record on it's advance of points to 95 34, and Butte and Superior a stock of the same class rose to 95. Other active features again included the Marines, which followed their trend, Crucible Steel coppers, such as Anaconda, Shattuck-Arizona and Tennessee, the motors, International Nickel and U. s. Industrial Alco- hol.
 Alcohol was the most cratic of all stocks, with an extreme loss of points on steady offerings. Short covering in that issue effaced half its loss. A few inactive specialties like
 Hide and Leather preferred, Ameri-
 can Linseed, preferred and Sears Roebuck, were lower at intervals by
 1 to 3 points.
 Rails were again a negligible yuan l1Iy, dS 1dI dsS lHGlI dCl1N1Ly MdS COIl- | cerned, but New Haven, Atlantic Coast Line and Norfolk and Western preferred were inclined to east about a point on light offerings. Total sales of stocks amounted tC 255, ,000 shares.
 Exchange on Paris continued tC | fall, the Paris rate for checks max. | ing the new low rate of 6.02 for tht current movement. There was agaiI | no explanation vouchsafed, other thar 1 the rather free offering of commer. cial bills by brokers supposed to rep.
 resent sellers of supplies to Frencl | interests.
 The weeks various financial under, | tal1ings probably accounted for al actual loan expansion of almost $30, !, | 900, ,000, a cash loss well in excess O S20, ,000,0 900 and a decrease of almos | S25, ,000,OO in reserves, causing re-

 against $154, ,000 in the first weel | of the year.

OCEAN FREIGHT RATES
 INCREASE 800 PER GENT
Grain Has Led All Commodities in the
 Rapid Rise.

Washington, April 9.-Ocean freight rates on some commodities, particu- larly wheat, are 800 per cent higher than at the beginning of the war. A letter written yesterday by Dr. F. F.. Pratt. chief of the foreign and domes- tic commerce bureau, to Chairman Al exander of the house merchant ma rine committee considering the admin istration shipping bill, calls attention to the jump in rates and reviews the shipping situation.
 Grain has lead all commodities in the rapid rise in rates. From 41 cents a bushel in January 1914, the rate has become 4O6 cents today from New York to Liverpool. From Bos-
 ton it is some five cents cheaper. The
 higher rate from New York is attrib-
 uted by Dr. Pratt to long delays and
 high demurrage charges due to con- gestiOn of grain at New York. Cotton rates have increased at both the ports of New York and New Or leans nearly 300 per cent, but it is | still cheaper to ship from New York | than from New Orleans. On Jan. l, | 1916. the New York rate was s225 a
 hundred pounds and the New Orleans | rate SS. The cost of shipping other commodities is considerably higher at 4 New Orleans than New York Wheat 1 shipped from New Orleans is taxed | 54.S a bushel.
 ates on flour have increased about | 500 per cent. within two years and on | provisions about 400 per cent | Comparison between flour rates from | New York to Liverpool and from Seat tie to Hong Kong show that the New ! York rate advanced in two years from | l5 cents to 90 cents and the Seattle
 rate from 25 cents to 75. Trans-Pa-
 cific rates on other food commodities increased little. Rates on Steel pro- ducts and agricultural machinery fol
 shipment across the Pacific have mounted rapidly.

COLUMBUS TO REMAIN A MILITARY BASE
Nothing to Rumor of Its Removal to
 Presidio, Texas.

Washington, April 9.-Secretary Baker stated today that as far as he knew consideration was not being given to removal of the American bor- der base from Columbus to Presidio, Texas, as reported from the border. He said no such suggestion had yet come from General Funston, although army officials admitted that by trans ferring the base of operations, consid- erable mileage would be saved in holding the lines of communication. Presidio. opposite OjinaSa, Chihuahua, is about 150 miles nearer Chihuahua City than Columbus.
