had hoped that the House would take
favorable action on this matter yester-
day and that the beginning of the new

Of the putting over Of the action or the

FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
Quiet Session in Stock Market,
With an Irregular Price
Movement.
RESISTANCE TO PRESSURE

Very little was cleared up In the
| market session relative TO the military
' events and the diplomatic and political
T, matters. which have outwardly engaged
q much Wall Street attention during the
; past week. There was a conservative
inclination on account OF the extension
Of The German offensive in France and
on account Of the uncertainties for which
Washington has been responsible. It
va not, however. manifest that the
financial community was disposed to be
appr0hensive over the outco..;e OF the
l new phase Of the war. while there was
! some anticipation that the excitement
ax washington would subside materially
In the next few days.
There vas only moderate activity In
che stock market. The share list main
tainsd on the whole the stability which
Il began TO show after the midweek.
In the early dealings there was "a gen.
era1 display OF quiet strength. This
raw way to irregularity. with unimpor-
tant fecesslons in the late dealings. but
. underlying flrmncss was exhibited In
practically all departments. Selling by
traders for limited profits. with sone
oelated scattering liquidation. was more
or less natural because of uncertainties
oveY the week end. Toward the close
speculative pressure increased on the
expectation Of events during the recess
which might favor a decline. hut very
little effect was produced on prices.
Indeed the character OF the trarsac-
lions and the Resistance which the mar
. ket offered to selling was in striking
contrast with the heavy liquidation and
sharp decline In the late dealings q
week ago This was further corrobora-
ton OF indications Of "A great improve
ment in the position of stocks as "a re-
suit OF the extensive reduction of the
speculative congestion which WAS the
chief cause of market trouble during
the winter. In the last half of the
week. with no change of consequence
yesterday. the tone Of the list WAS dis
tinctly harder. while the news which
had been such au ostcrsiblc factor In
the recent unsct,iemcut Of quoted values

Certainly the test of the pol.tica, and
military adviccs from abroad. and roliti-
cal developments AZ home was severe.
considering all that has been said about
the speculative aspects of the financial
markets and the business situation Z,
striking proof Of undtrly ns strength
seems to have been given. while the

STEEL PRODUCERS FIND
DOMESTIC FIELD BEST.
High Prices Paid for Shell
Metal Less AUuring Than
Sales Here.

II Is A significant fact that some Of
the large steel companies are now assid-
uously cultivating domestic territory In
preference to the foreign field that orig
inally proved 80 rich in lucrative bust
ness. Even the extravagant prices paid
for shell bars under changing cOndi-
tons are less a~lluring to steel inani-
fdrturcrs.
The change of method may be due to
the fact that bar mill capacity has been
sold for nine months to u year. or that
s;ccl companies are less inclined to take
risks on heavy foreign contracts. Many
Of tho war orders were taken when
domestic trade was ~ the miNImniu.
In, with the revival in business AT home

for semi-nnished steel Somo large orders

IN the past week. while several thousand

TEIPER JURORS
EXAMINE AUTOS
AT MURDER TRIAL
Ropes Hold Back Street Crowd
Eager to See Prisoner Accused
of Killing Mother

Buffalo, Dec. THAT John Edward
Teiper, on trial for the murder Of his
mother, Mrs. Agnes Teiper, showed
grief at the funeral Of his mother and
brother last February was the testi'
mony of the first witnesses for the de-
fence called to-day. The pail bearers
and Teiper's father-in-law, Alton h.
Newton, swore that at the house, the
church and the grave they mad OBJ
served signs Of emotion in Teiper's
bowed head and pale and serious look.
The Jury examined the two automo-
biles which figured in the tragedy IN
the Orchard Park Road last January
The street was roped off and the
Jurors spent half an hour in the work.
Teiper, handcuffed to deputy sherin,
took part in the examination, suggest
ing points TO be emphasized, while a
treat crowd surged against the ropes
TO see the young defendant
That the defence will try TO uphold
the theory first advanced by Teiper--
that the murders were the work OF a
negro highwayman-wa shown IN the
opening address to-day Of Roger /.
clark. of Binghamton, associate coun-
sci for Teiper. Mr.. Clark declared
that more than 500 had been stolen
from the bodies of the victims, and
that an entire absence of motive by
the defendant would be proved.

But Young Irving Zinaman Is

According 10 the police, Irving zina,,

titled Glow TO Live High and Own an

Zinaman, who i. married and lives
AT 1872 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn,
was formerly bookkeeper for b.
Kowalof e. Co, hat manufacturers, at
4lO Lafayette Street When he OBJ
taired work there, two years ago, he
was paid $40 a week. When he mar
ried he was raised TO S12 week. A
month ago he quit, because he was
refused another raise. But the police
say ne was prosperous enough to buy
a touring car.
Efter Zinaman left the Chatham
Audit Company, of 1928 Broadway,

BRITISH AGAIN
HIT U. 5. TRADE
Put New Restrictions on
American Expectations
to Russia

Washington. Dec. New restric-
tons on American trade with Russia
were announced to-day by the British
Embassy in circular setting forth
conditions to govern shipments passing
through the blockade lines into Sweden,
through which country most American
exports to Russia are handled
Aside from goods destined for the
Russian government. only thirty-four
commodities can be sent to Russia
under the regulations, and rigid con-
dItions must be complied with before
letters of assurance for the shipments
will be issued.
The step is believed here TO be the
outcome Of q conflict in trade policies
heretofore followed by Great Britain.
Russia and Sweden, and is understood
to have as its object the limitation OF
Russia's imports through Sweden 10
necessities. particularly war goods.
Sweden, smGrting under the British
blockade and rationing measure, Is SAID
TO have taken steps to retaliate, when
resulted in the more stringent regula-
lions announced to-day.
The list of goods for which the Brit
ish Embassy will issue letters of as
surance to American exporters to Rus
STA and Finland includes the following,
for which such assurances are given
under the present regulations: Binoc-
ularS, indictments and thermometers,
sulphur tartsric and citric acids, dyes,
varnishes, Photographic plates, phos-
phCr, machinery, except lathes, car
Donate of ammonia, blue copperas (sul-
phate Of copperas), vegetable seeds.
paraifin, oils, tar, wax, colophany
(rosin), American cotton, salt and rice.
The remaining articles on the list
have not been subject 10 such regula-
tons before, and officials are uncertain
what will be the effect of their inclu-
sion in the group which may be shipped
under letters of assurance. Most Of
them are produced from raw material
usually exported from Great Britain.
They are metals, except lead rubber,
leather, castor oil, graphite, jute sacks,
wool, Irvine, shellac, cocoanuts, Egyp-
tian cotton, woollen materials and pep
per.
Letters of assurance will be granted
only if the goods are consigned to the
Aktiebolaget Transito, Stockholm,
which arranges all Swedish transit
licenses. This company must first
have granted such a license and mus.
have complete information as to the
goods, gross and net weight, value,
name Of the sender, shipping line by
which the consignments are TO be
transported, and name and address OF
the consignee in Russia or Finland, to-
gether with the original bill of lading
and Endorsed copy.
The Swedish-American Line, the
Swedish-America-Mexico Line, and the
northumberland Line are named
for the shipment Of goods under this
scheme, and five New York banks have
been suggested as agents and finan-
ciers. Freight must be prepaid TO the
point of discharge in Scandinavia and
must carry an agreement that II any
thing interferes with its transit 1t may
be stored. sent by a different route, or
returned 10 the United States or one Of
the Allied countries, always at the ex-
pense of the owners.
