NEW YORK, February IA, 10 80 am.
Irregular price changes marked the re-
newal of operations today, with further
activity in the metal group, all the lead
ing coppers attaining new high records.
American Zinc and Mexican Petroleum,
as well Baldwin Locomotive and New
York Airbrake. were among the other
strong and active issues.
United States Steel was conspicuously
heavy, losing almost a point at 81, but
making up some ground later. Railroad
shares were again shunted to the back
ground with moderate concessions.
Specialties. including Baldwin. declined
abruptly on secondary dealings.
Coppers continued to dominate the
market. but trading was somewhat
curtailed by the storm which inter-
rupted communication with western
points.
Yield to Moderate Pressure.
New England was reported to be
active in the further accumulation of
coppers. which fully held their ground,
while the balance of the list yielded
substantially to moderate pressure.
Declines of point or more in Cana
dian Pacific. New York Central. Read
ing and Chesapeake and Ohio con-
tributed to the heaviness of the more
speculative issues.
Crucible Steel. Studebaker and other
shares in the war group followed the
unsteady course of Baldwin, and

to the friends of securities. They be-
lieve that the time is at hand for fur
ther financing in the interest of the al
lies and cannot see just how the big
ananciers are going to make successful
operations on weak stock market.
But there is nothing in the market
that looks right to a buT. 1t is ad-
mitted that the metal stocks have the
best show, but even some of these, no
tably Steel common, have not the
slightest appearance Of strength.
The railroads today are making their
largest earnings. They have met the
economies demanded and are showing
their best net gains. but their stocks
are among the weakest of the standard
securities.
1t may be the shadow of the labor
troubles that is keeping the market
weak. Whatever the reason. there ie
no question but what the market Is
erratic and more or less weak.
Baldwin lost nearly 2 points. Colora-
do Fuel a point. Crucible Steel dropped
points and Steel recovered frac-
ton. still being u lower than Satur-
day at the close.

On Note Acceptances.

The report says:
Trade acceptance must find it's first
development in manufacturing and
distributing centers. At larger points.
and especially at cities in the northern
half of the district. the price of
credit has been SO low that attention
has not generally attracted to bills
of exchange. as opposed to other forms
Of negotiable paper. as offering pecu-
liar advantages. From scattered direc-
tions the bank has received a limited
quantity of such paper
In the presence of preferred rate
it's use will spread, although much
educational work must be done Since
PRONUNCIATION of the open market
regulations little opportunity has been
offered this bank to enter the field.
Very few member banks in this district
have accepted paper for sale, and such
as has been made has been disposed
Of elsewhere at prices which it was
not thought wise to meet"
The report expresses the regret Of
the board of directors that SO few
banks in the district have entered the
clearing system established some
weeks ago.
Attention is called to the attitude Of
the banks of the northern half of the
district to the banks of the southern
half. which has been uniformly COM
plimentary.
Fourteen months ago the banks of
the district were heavily committed to
bills payable. rediscounts and emer
gency currency, but the last liability
has long since disappeared. Excess
bills payable were also promptly re-
duced.
High commendation is given to
George J. Seay, governor of the bank,
and also TO other officers, employees
and examiners by William Ingle. chair
man of the board, who makes the re-
port.

Richmond Regional Report.

The Richmond regional bank OF the
federal reserve system has issued. in
pamphlet form, report of the opera
.tions of the bank from its organiza-
ton to the close of the last calendar
year.
Details of organization are given at
length, election of governor. directors
reserve agents. etc: the adoption of by
laws and the preliminary work in de-
tail.
The first business operation of the
bank was the rediscounting of a batch
of paper for a North Carolina member
bank November %. 1914. and the dis
count line reached its maximum. $8,-
747,476.30. August I 1915.
Beginning with no productive assets
and without inviting business the
banks management feels q large
measure of satisfaction in being able to
pay 5 per cent per annum dividend
on the capital stock. 1t fully realized
that such a result was made possible
for the reason that the southern por-
ton of the district was especially in
need of the help afforded by the bank.
In rediscounting notes the officials
of the institution had always in mind
the high standard set by the regula-
tions of the federal reserve board and
on rediscounts of $4,000 or more full
statements of condition are demanded.
Many notes have been declined as in
eligible either in their character or
from the credit viewpoint of reserve

Gated by the board Of directors Of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce at
the rooms of the organization last
evening. 1t was decided to ask the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, of which the local organization
is a member. to take a referendum Of
the entire country in this matter. 1t
was pointed out that a number of
American cities as we'll as European
countries had tried the plan with snc-

ed to consider the merits of the Webb
bill, now pending before Congress: b..

Webb bill would remove several OBJ
structions to foreign commerce, 1t Is
said. and would allow manufa cturers

cooperate in manner similar to that
done abroad. but prohibited in this
country at present by the Sherman
antitrust law.

PROTEST PANAMA ELECTION.
Partisans of DR.. CHAR Want U. S.
to Exercise Veto.

Samuel Lewis, an attorney for DR..
Chiari. unsuccessful candidate for the
presidency of Panama, has called at the
State Department to protest the legal
ity of the recent election in which Ra-
mon Valdez was chosen president.
The Chiari party contended that the
government party prevailed by fraud
and violence, and wants the United
States to set aside the choice under
terms of the treaty by which this gov
ernment assures the voters of Panama
of fair elections.
American Minister Price at Panama
and military authorities of the Canal
Zone also have submitted reports which
are said to show unfairness. Depart
ment officials are inclined to hold that
the operation of the treaty is limited to
adoption by the United States or pre-
cautionary measures in advance OF an
election, and that there is no warrant
for challenging results
