Build at Mobridee

The announcement by the Ar
mours that they will build a So,
600. 900 packing plant in st Paul
is of great Importance to st. Paul
and of considerable Importance to
the northwest. 1t is claimed by
Sioux City papers that there was
sort of gentleman agreement
between the Armours and Swlfts,
bv the terms Of which the ArmOurs
were to stay out Of st, Paul and
the Swifts were to stay out OF
Sioux City. The building Of the
Armour plant at st. Paul arouses
hope in Sioux City that the Swifts
will build there. Ii the little disa-
preement that appears to have
broken out continues, there may
be really competitive purchases OF
livestock between the big packers,
and that may result in even higher
prices for northwestern livestock
than is now the case. Northern

Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Baltimore, Feb. 1S.--A new steam
boat company is being organized to
take over the boats of the Baltimore,
Chesapeake and Atlantic and the Mary
land, Delaware and Virginia Rail-
ways. which must dispose of their
boat lines by April I. according 10
the provisions of the Panama Canal
act
The Continental Trust Company.
Alexander Brown & Sons. and other
leading bankers have been approached
on the subject of floating stocks and
Bonds of the new company. 1t is un-
derstood that the financiers look with
favor on the proposition.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, which
owns the Baltimore. Chesapeake and
Atlantic and the Maryland. Delaware
and Virginia lines. asks 100000 for
the So boats which constitute the
water lines plying the Chesapeake and
its tributaries. However, it is tns
hope of the promoters of the company
now forming to take over the boat
lines that a better figure can be OBJ
tanned. 1t is expected that the new
officials will get an option for the pur-
chase of tho boats at a satisfactory
figure within the next week.

Goodrich Company's Report Awakens
Interest in Entire Est-Butte

New York. Feb. 1S.-Nearly every stock
dealt in by Wall Street today showed an
advance in price and some were mate
rally higher. Zinc and copper stocks
and marlborough attracted most atten-
ton Interest was awakened once more
in the automobile stocks by the remark
able report Of the Goodrich Company.
Semi-official reports from England
that the government did not intend TO
fix maximum freight rate caused a
renewal OF speculation in the marine
shares.
The piece OF financial news Of the day
that made the most impression on the
street" was the announcement that the
Steel Corporation had purchased about
ssS.0IC. 900 Of its own bonds from the Brit
ish government. This was looked upon
as illustrative OF what will happen in
many corporations The big earnings
now being realized will not be paid out in
dividends so much as they will be paid
out in bolstering up the underpinning of
the big companies.
Speculation in enemy" securities is
giving Wall Street a new thrill. Enemy
securities are those issued by a country
at war and standing in the name Of
some citizen of an enemy OF that coun-
try. Many American securities are be-
ing cOnhsCated by the British govern
ment because they were owned by Ger
mans.
Goodrich is clsssed among the motor
stocks because its chief business is max
ing tires and its strength today was fol-
lDwed BY a strengthening of the entire
motor list Earrings now are running
at the high rate so that they are well
above ~ per cent.
Wall Street has been materially influ-
enced by the CAPTURE OF ErZerum by the
Russians and the prospective capture OF

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
All Around Activity Prevails Declares Bradstrees Review
Situation in Some Lines Called Unparalleled
Sees Increasing Orders by Retailers and Jobbers

New York, Feb. 1S.-Bradstreets Re-
view of Trade for the week ending to-
morrow will say:
"All around activity prevails. the situa-
ton in some lines being unparalleled.
Buyers throng the leading markets; in
dustry except In few negligible in
stances, continues at full speed; prices,
with the notable exception of raw cotton,
kept on rising; scarcity of numerous
articles is more marked than ever. and
while high costs under ordinary condi-
tions would tend to automatically re-
strict consumption, the fact is that at
this juncture the advancing levels seem
to spur buyers to extraordinary efforts
to fill their requirements.
There Is no longer any great disposi-
ton to wait for sudden ending of the
European war, nor to expect marked
retrogression in other directions.
Domestic buyers. reconciled to existing
conditions, are anxious about having their
orders taken by producers.
House trade, especially OF dry goods.
clothing and shoes has expanded: road
sales continue to show steady gains: re-
tail trade, thanks to widespread employ
ment at good wages, more than holds
its own: mail orders are heavy and sales
for fall shipment attract attention.
1T Is true that In some parts OF the
country milder. thawing weather has re-
duced sales of seasonable articles at re-
tail but. on the other hand rubber goods
have been benefited
Railway traffic Is very large. COM
plants of car shortages continue numer-
Gus grain interests, iron furnace men and
coal and coke producers being particularly
loud in their protestations over condi-
tions, and in fact there are signs that
conditions are becoming worse than
better"
The Washington herald., 1916-02-19

New York, Feb. 1S-Dun's Review Of
Trade for the week ending tomorrow will
say:
Accommodation Of forward business is
only limited by the ability and disposition
of manufacturers TO further extend COM
mitments. Disproportion between de-
mand and supply-heretofore apparent in
comparatively few lines-is spreading, and
is increasingly manifest that productive
and distributing facilities have not kept
pace with the rapid growth in require
ments.
Scarcity of materials is a more no.
uceable feature and I'm the West and
South as in the East II is much easier to
find buyers than to obtain merchandise.
Frequent complaints are still heard of
tardy deliveries-storms and cold adding
to the burdens of the railroads I'm some
sections, but moderate PROCESS is made
In relieving the traffic congestion and
there was 30 per cent reduction in the
number of idle freight cars during jan
uary.
Under the stimulus of large buying
by retailers, jobbers of dry goods are
Increasing orders with mills and selling
agents and prices are advancing SHARPLY
Scarcity OF linens is more apparent
and influencing buyers to accept many
cotton substitutes, made both her and

hkedy to curtail operations among foot

Except in isolated cases. there Is no
evidence that steadily rising prices are
