FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SHOCK PRICES DROP
Short Selling and Liquidation Was Al
 most lncessant.

New York, March 1.-By a process of attrition, which began at the out set and continued with little interrUp- ton until the final hour, when the market registered moderate recover ies, prices suffered further severe de- preciation today. Liquidation was al most incessant and short selling seem ed to be a factor of secondary import ance. Various issues, including in vestment shares, fell under the mini mum quotations recorded in the latter part of January, which marked the continuation of the declining move ment for that period.
 On the surface, at least, the one dis turbing influence was that created by pending relations between Washington and Berlin. The determination of the administration to force congress to a vote in the matter of armed mer- chantmen and other questions bear ing upon that momentous issue were viewed with unfeigned gravity by the financial community.
 Further cause for concern was oc- casioned by a resumption Of the re- cent liquidation in Anglo-French bonds, which were offered in enor- nous blocks at their minimum quo- tation of 93 5-S, with sale of one bond at the new low record of 93 1-2 Total sales of these bonds, estimated at their par value, amounted to $1,- 133,00O.
 Short covering contributed measur- ably to the better tone of the last hour, some seasoned issues regaining one to three points, while a few spe- cialties, notably U. s. Industrial Alco- hol and Texas company, showed actual strength.
 U. s. Steel, which sold "ex-divi- dend" of 1 1-4 Der cent. was among the weak leaders, declining to 79 3-4 but closing at 80 7-8, a net loss ot IA. Total sales of stocks amounted tC 752. 900 shares.
 General news, particularly as rep resented by railway and industrial re- turns, was of a character to make for optimism. Apart from the overnight statements of the Pennsylvania, Read ing and Jersey Central roads for Jan- uary, all showing handsome gains there was the remarkable exhibit o1 the New York Central system, whose combined lines showed a gross increase of over $6,000,000 with a net gain o1 $4,977, 900. Erie also reported an in- crease of almost $400, 900 in net fol the same month.
 Figures dealing with the steel and iron industry show a condition of al most unprecedented prosperity for the first two months of the year, with nc cessation of foreign and domestic de- mand
 Bonds were heavy, with total sales par value, of $3,95O, 900.
 United States registered 3's ad. VanceR 1-S per cent. on call.

PROMOTION OF NAVAL
 OFFICERS BY SELECTION
Is Proposal in Bill Transmitted to
 House by Secretary Daniels.

Washington, March 1-Promotion of naval officers by selection instead of by seniority, an increase of fifty per cent in officers of all grades, crea- ton of a war reserve list and restora- ton of the popular old rank of com modore are proposed in a bill drafted by the navy personnel board and transmitted to congress today by Sec retary Daniels. The measure, the re- suit of two years of study and work by the board, is designed to increase the efficiency of the service put able men in commanding positions at an earlier age and open the way for the rise of subordinate ojcers now virt- ually barred from hope of promotion.
 Under the plan all officers above the rank of lieutenant would be sub ject to promotion by selection upon passage of the bill, the selections be- ing made from each Trade by officers of the ranks above.
 The board reported that after care full consideration it was convinced the system of promotion by seniority must ha abandonad-

 RESERVE TO SUPPORT NAVY Plan Sketched Into House Military
 Committee's Program.

Washington, March 1.-Jegislative framework for a far-reaching indust- rial and technical reserve to support the navy's fighting lines in wartime was sketched into the house military committees program today. It was suggested by Representative Kahn of California, as an amendment to the provision in the pending army increase bill for a Quartermaster's corps, re- serve and was adopted without ob- lection.
 The plan not only contemplates an effort to enlist in the reserve in peace times teamsters, mechanics, railroad men. chauffeurs and other non-com- batant forces necessary to an army, but extends the scope of the reserve system to include civilian aviators, ordnance engineers, workers in muni- tion plants. telephone and telegraph operators and mechanics, civil engi- neers, electrical engineers and mem bers of every other civil profession or occupation whose services would be useful to the army in war.
