STOCK MARKET

New York, March 17-Opening:
Material gains were registered at the
outset of today's active market, war
shares and allied specialties being the
most conspicuous features. Advances
ranged from l. to 8 points in Amerf-
can Can, American Zinc, Mexican Pc
troleun, Colorado Fuel, L4ackawanna.
Steel and the sugar and shipping
shares. Mercantile Marine pfd. was
especially prominent and with Can
and U. S. Steel was freely absorbed.
Crucible Steel was inclined to react
in the initial dealings but soon made
full recovery. Rails manifested their
usual backward tendency with frac-
tional recessions in Reading and
Great Northern.
Noon; Activity abated before tho
end of the first hour, trading falling
far below yesterdays corresponding
period. Prices yielded as dealings di-
minished, the munitions group, with
few exceptions, cancelling early gains
and showing general heaviness. Profit
taking contributed to the decline, but
short selling induced by adverse NTexi-
can rumors, also was a factor. The
market hardened again toward mid
day, mainly in consequence of a broad
demand for coalers.

in the food which swept three West
Virginia mountain streams, rendering
10000 persons homeless and causing a
property loss estimated at $5,000,000.
The National Red Cross offered aid

State authorities replied that they be-

ance. Two companies of the Second

with tents and provisions. The an

be handled free of charge by railroads
entering the devastated districts.

loss of life was at Ferndale, where 16
persons are known to be dead. The

If there is any unwarranted rise in

eral Trade Commission.
Experts of Government departments
united in saying that there is no need
to fear because of the small wheat
crop expected this year. Even If there
were serious shortage-if not a
bushel of wheat were harvested-this
nation would live, as one official said
"on the fat of-the land"
Prosecutors. Ready To Act.
Two Government departments said
they are ready to meet any manipula-
tion of wheat or four-the Department
of Justice and the Federal Trade Com
mission. Congress probably also would
be involved, as in the present gasoline
investigation.
tIf we find evidence of unfair meth
ods and price-boosting, either by COM
plant to us or by our own informa-
tien, we shall get busy" said Commis-
sioner Davies, of the Federal Trade
Commission. There are three ways
to get at price-boosters-threug this
commission, the Department of Justice
or Congress. The commission and the
Department of Justice would cooper
ate in any investigation undertaken" !"
Crop Expected To Exceed Needs.
The wheat crop this year is expected
to be 654,000,O00 bushels. On the basis
of 5.3 bushels per capita year-the
average onsumption-with 75,000,O00
bushels required for seed, the require
ment would be about 620.oo0,G00 bush
els This would leave 34,00O,00o bush
els for export.
Last year the crop was record one
100000 bushels. About $780,
100000 bushels were exported The
year before 100000 bushels went
abroad, but the five-year average is
only 125, ,00O, GOO bushels. Experts pre-
diet that as Europe accustoms herself
to the war, the demand upon this coun-
try will be less pressing.
The 100000 export margin this
year has excited spectators, the de-
partment men said, causing them to
forget that 75,0OO,0O0 bushels of last
years crop are left in the hands of
farmers-who were unable to dispose
of it-and 75,000,O00 bushels more are
in elevators and warehouses.

ENGLAND EXPLAINS
DELAYS OF MAILS
Secretary Lansing Receives
Document From Embassy.
THE DELAYS ARE REGRETTED
British Embassy Presents Statement
In Which 1t Is Admitted Neutral
Correspondence Was Sub
jected To Delay.

Washington.-An explanatory state
ment of how Great Britain's examina-
Non of mails is being conducted was
presented to Secretary Lansing by the
British embassy. 1t is preparatory to
che more comprehensive reply to
American representations now being
prepared jointly by the London and
Paris Foreign Offices.
Figures given in the statement show
the average time for examination of
intercepted mail is from one to three
days. The minimum delay to mail be-
tween the United States and, Holland is
given at two days and the maximum
at seven. Danish mails have been de-
layed from seven to ten days when it
has been necessary to remove them
from ship. otherwise only four days.
'Tt is admitted" says the statement,
'4hat at the outset, neutral CORES
apondence in which enemy interests
were in no way concerned was sub
1ected to a delay which is greatly re-
gretted and which has since been re-
duced to minimum. 1t must not be.

arrangements which would be required

the difficulties which would be en-;
countered.
For instance, there was no reason
to suppose that Gas proved to be the
easel mail bags marked as dispatched
from one neutral country to another
neutral country would contain nothing,
but mails for or from an enemy coun-
try, that bags represented as contain
ing printed matter would contain rub
ber, coffee, jewelry, etc, sometimes
disguised as newspapers. as well as.
correspondence of all kinds, registered
and unregistered, or that persons writ
ing to or from enemy countries would
already have adopted the practice of
sending their letters under cover to in
termediaries in neutral countries or
that great numbers of complete sacks
appearing to contain merely business
circulars from neutral countries would
contain in reality nothing but propa-
ganda from Germany under covers
bearing neutral postage stamps.
These and similar unforeseen pecul-
iarities made it impossible until the
staff engaged had been largely increas-
ed and had become accustomed to
them, to select on any fixed principle
those mail bags which, when all could
not be examined within reasonable
period, should be forwarded without
examination,
The delay of shipping documents
carried by the same ship as the cargo
to which they refer can be, and--has
been in some cases, avoided by the
simple expedient of enclosing such
documents in specially marked bags
The statement concludes by showing
why the dispatch of intercepted mails
is best facilitated by examination in
London and not at points nearer the
seizure, as has been suggested.

Both Cars Demolished.
According to persons in the vicinity
at the time Of the wreck, one car was

Motorman Angus Warner, crashed
down steep grade into it. Both cars
were demolished by the impact.
Shortly before the accident Warmers

the current was shut off at the power

late to avoid the crash.

Petrograd.- THE town of Stanislau
in Galicia is already within the range
of the Russian guns. General Letchit-
sky, losing no time in following up his
victory at Tysmienitsa, has pushed
westward along the railroad and
northwestward along the wagon road
and in the latter direction has ap-
preached to within six miles of Stanis-
lau. simultaneously, he has announced
a drive across the Koropice River and
the formation of new line of advance
north of the Dniester.
Hitherto, General Count Won Both
mer had enjoyed more or less protec-
tion for his right on the Tarnopol posi-
ton from the flooded Dniester. The
appearance of an offensive north of
the Dniester, which has already car
ried the Russians as far west as the
crossing of the railroad at Niznioff, 20
miles east of Stanislau, injects an en-
tirely new element in the situation.
With Monasterzyska seriously fanked,
General Won Bothmer finds himself
with General Letchitsky in the rear OF
his advanced position along the Stripa
and in close, touch. The Austrians
are vainly striving to stem this new
advance by desperate counter-attacks,
in which the troops engage in hand
to-hand encounters, but apparently
with the net result always favoring the
Russians.
The counting of General Letchitsky's
prisoners during the 10 days opera
tions shows that he has taken upward
of $4,000 and it is estimated that TO-
900 more men were put out of com
mission. This would bring the grand
total of prisoners to General Brussi-
lof's credit since early in June to
100000.
