Corn.-During the early trading yester-
day the corn market had slightly weaker
undertone, owing 70 bear pressure occasioned
by fairly large primary receipts. Later IN
the day the demand became more active. and
with offerings light more buoyant feeling
developed.
Buying was stimulated partly by the rapid
rise in wheat and also by encouraging
cables. European markets being stronger.
owing chiefly to light offerings for forward
shipment from Argentina.
In Liverpool there was an advance of Cd
in Argentine corn and Is Sd on American.
There were fair export orders here. but
trade was still prevented by the scarcity Of
tonnage.
December was relatively strong and sold
at the same price May. whereas it was at
a discount OF sc on Saturday.
The visible supply increased ISL. 900 bushels.

Industrial
Metals

An easier tone was noted yesterday
in The copper markets Some small
dealers who claim 70 have nearby
metal are quoting 1917 first quarter
delivery st SO TO 3314 cents a pound
and second quarter at SO TO S2ii cents
They also mention SOi1 to 81 cents q
pound for third quarter and so 70 301
for the last quarter. These prices are
well under last weeks quotations, but
no sales have been reported. The large
interests have so far refused TO make
concessions iu their prices.
The whole steel market has assumed
q Quicter dcmeauOr since the Ieutonle
ncace overtures were made known. Al
the same time several important con.
tracts for shell steel have been closed
recently for direct export in the next
few months. and the agents of the
Entente Allies are still vigorously IN
the market for billets. bars and forg-
ings; sales that have come 20 the sur
face since the Berlin note was pub
lished have been In excess OF $4,000
tons. and inquiries for more finished
shells and for shell forgings are now IN
the market Il is significant also that
Canadian manufacturers OF war NUM-
lions have been instructed TO rush
rather than 20 relax work in the shops.
The most impressive feature Of the
steel industry is the large tonnage Of
steel required in the manufacture o.
railroad equipment. For cars alone
nearly 100000 tons Of bars, plates and
shapes are needed 10 cover contracts
now pending. following the placing OF
orders for more than 1000 900 tons for
such construction in the last ninety
days. Railroads to-day are negotiating
for fully 10000 cars, although orders
for only $500 cars were placed In the
last few days.

oipal metals and metal products, COM

Ashamed of Shabby
Clothes, He Plays
b Truant From School

Because his mother could not fur
nfsh him with suitable garments to
wear, James Stafford, age 10, of 272
River street, remained away from ses-
sions at Read school. North avenue.
for the last month. He is a pupil in
the fourth grade and IS said to be an
adept scholar.
The father of the boy is employed at
the Atlas Shear company. James cried
when arraigned in the city court to-
day and said that he could not face
the other children at the school while
poorly clad and that he would rather
go to the reform school than to suffer
the embarra ssment.
* He was placed in care Of Truant
Officer Richard Larkin who furnished
him money to start a newspaper route.
This was agreeable to James and he
was released in the custody of Larkin

MACHINISTSSEND
ORGANIZER HERE
TO ASSIST BOWEN
Many Activities Promised
By international Associa-
ton Local Here.

Because of the tremendous increase
IN the number of skilled workers in
Bridgeport, and the consequent in
crease in the work of union leaders,
Albert Benway, general organizer Of
the international Association of Ma
chinists, is coming to this city to as
s1st George J. Bowen, business agent
of Local No. 80.
Mr.. Benway will assist in the union
izing work that is being done now,
and will make preparations for the
spring campaign for the eight-hour
day, which will be waged soon against
the factories with long working hours.
The campaign for a, cent a minute
wages will follow, probably about
May.
Between 1900 and 1900 machinists
attended the smolx6r- held last even
ing in Eagles hall, and more applica-
tons were received in a sew hours
by the local than ever before, at one
time. More than 100 new nemb ers
will be enrolled. The 5000 mark will
soon be assessed.
Robert Z F'echner, member of the
general executive board, and Harry
Gill, organizer, addressed the meet
ing last night and showed the differ
ence between an organized city like

Vono was arrested last night while
he was SQUIRTING with Bessie Man
tinero, 80 Lexington avenue, at Park

sented his addressing her with Hello.
Sweetheart and threw a SNOWFALL at
him. A scuff1e followed, which was
ended when Cody, doing traffic duty
