BILL
MAY HURT TRADE
Valuation on Local Properties
May Be Injured by Dis
trict Going Dry.
NEWS OF LOCAL MARKETS
Forecast of German Note on Lusitanis
. Case Says U. S. Demands
Will Be Met.

The element OF uncertainty in the local
utilities market, caused by the activity
and Forthcoming valuation report of the
Public Utilities Commission, has been
ascertained by the probable injection of
the prohibition question in one form or
another in the near future.
While the work of the Utilities Commits
sion has caused feeling of uncertainty.
which to some extent has been reflected
in the past two years in a slackening of
the demand. 1t has not seriously sf-
fected prices, largely due to the fact
that the acts of the commission are sub
ject to court review and investors have
had the benefit Of valuation reports by
experts employed by the utility corpora
tions and in whom both the corporations
and investors have every confidence
This protection of court review, how
ever, Is lacking In the case of an abso-
lutte prohibition measure, suciI as the
Sheppard bill, which now Is on the Sen
ate calendar with every probability that
ii will be passed in that chamber. 1t is
realized that not only is the District of
Columbia-a Federal reservation-pe-
culiarly circumstanced, in that the en-
forcement of the law here would be most
stringent, but that business interests
would be more certainly affected ad-
Versely than in any other community,
with the possible exceptions of New York
and Chicago.
Prosperity and good business condi-
tions in the Capital are largely dependant
upon Quasi-permanent residents and
transients. In the former class are fam
Hes of means, who are attra cted to the
National Capital for a few months each
year by the cosmopolitan aspect OF the
social life here. In the second class
by far the most important-are found
the thousands who come to Washington
annually with big conventions or for short
holidays. Regardless of the merits OF
prohibition itself, 1t is hardly to be ex.
pected that many large national con-
ventions. of which the social side is OF
almost equal Importance in determining
the place of meeting with the business
side. will continue to come to Washington
in the event of absolute prohibition as
proposed in the Sheppard bill. And the
patronage of these visitors Is of great
Importance TO all business interests OF
the Capital.

HUGE STEEL ORDER COMING.
French Negotiating with U. $. Steel,
Is Statement.

New York, Feb. at has been an
nounced here that the French govern
ment Is arranging to place a huge order
for steel with the United States Steel
Corporation.
The total value involved has not been
definitely settled, but Is expected to ex-
ceed sO,OO0.O0O
The contract calls for the delivery of
about 10000 tons a month, It is under
stood.
Formal signing of the contract is look
ed for any day.
The rapid recovery OF the Steel COM
mon shares from below so would appear
to have been stimulated by well-informed
buying. The closing quotation last night
was 50 12, up 5-S for the day.
The profits on such an order, based
on steel prices now current, will, of
course, be very large.

TOBACCO DIVIDEND SURPRISE.
Companies, However, Arc Reaping
Harvest Because of War.

New York. Feb. 3.-Payment of the reg
ular dividend by the American Tobacco
Company came as a surprise to those
traders who permit themselves to be mis-
led by price movements. The tobacco
companies are making more money now
than ever before In their history. The
inability of several of the large ones
to get tobacco from Turkey is forcing
them to work up stocks of American to-
baceo of much lower value. The un-
usual profits are offset to some extent by
more liberal advertising expenditures.
Taken as a whole the concerns that for
merly constituted the tobacco trust are
suffering just about as much as former
members of the Standard Oil Company.
The American Company, has large orders
for cigarettes for soldiers in the trenches.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Feb. 5-The shipments Of grain are
likely to be hampersd by the renewal OF the en-
bargoss by Of the leading railroads OF the
country and which may prove a bearish factor. not
only in wheat, but In corn and oats as we'll. Em-
bargoes again have been issued by tho Pennsylrana
system against shipments Of grain to Philadelphia
Newport News and By the Rock Island to New
Orleans This viii in manner tie the hands
Of those who are anxious TO make shipments from
the West.
The conflicting influences in the wheat market
today were the embargoes in the West and the
export business In the East. The volume Of trade
was confined mainly 10 local professionals, with
the outsider waiting further price break In oroer
To renstate lines OF wheat of which profits were
secured sometime back.
Tho trend Of the wheat market was quite un-
certain today. and while Quotations held with
IN to N cents. the close in the same place
and bullish by turn. yet there bears
than bulls at the close of the day. although some
Of the larger and more conservative spectators
favored the hull side.
There was some buying Of wheat futures today
credited 10 French export interests not only at
Chicago and New York. but at Winnipeg. Con-
ditous surrounding the wheat market in all posi-
tions were rather mixed pending the operation Of
the new foreign government purchasing committee.
which is 10 the East at present. The arrange
ment for buying grain for the allies is making
progress. Offices have been secured in New York
and It is understood that the American represent
stirs will he located at the seaboard with sub
representatives at Chicago.
That the English. French and Italian govern
mcnts will all be represented by this one main
headquarters The financing Of the business will
he through the London Office. and ships will be
furnished by the English committee.
Corn ruled y TO Il cent lower today. The eariy
weakness continued all day with only here and
there a reaction and advance. Tho scaboard re-
ported some inquiry. but actual business, and
1900 bushels made up the total transactions here.
Oats closed a shade lower for the day. al
though there was some recovery late. Tho rally
Undoubtedly brought about By buying against
export sales. the latter amounting to probably
l. 800 90 bushels at the scsboard. There was a
lack Of speculative enthusiasm Cash sales were
