FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL
MARKET OPENED ACTIVE.
Tapered off to Less Than Normal
Proportions Toward the Close.

New York, jan 1.-THE most note
worthy feature of today's variable
market was the absolute lack of public
interest. Trading was active and broad
during the forenoon, with confusion
of gains and losses, but tapered of to
less than nominal proportions towards
the close of the session.
Some of the more speculative issues,
including American Coal Products, In
ternatfonal Nickel and u. S. Industrial
Alcohol. assembled to quotations never
before attained, this being true also of
Mercantile Marine securities. In fact,
Marines were the substantial issues of
the day. the common rising 3-S to
22 IA, the preferred 8 Sd to IS Ia,
and the certificates as to 101 rs.
There was no news to explain the
continued rise of the Marine issues,
but il is believed that the details Of
the reorganization plan are we'll tow
ards completion and that the share
holders will receive far more consid-
GRAFTON than was thought likely a few
weeks ago.
Most of the war shares ruled slightly
over last weeks final prices, and there
was a steady though moderate inquiry
for Central Leather, American Hide
and Leather preferred, Pullman Car,
National Lead, United Fruit and such
utilities as Western Union and Peoples
Gas.
United States Steel reflected pressure
Of the same character as marked re-
cent dealings in that stock. but Beth
lehem Steel was more active after its
initial decline, closing at 488, a gain of
s. Oils and coppers were under the
influence OF Mexican conditions, and
rails displayed little animation. except
towards the close, when minor shares,
especially Minneapolis and St Louis
common and preferred, broke sharply.
Total sales amounted to 585.00Os hares.
International stocks were again at
marked depreciation in London COM
pared with last weeks closing prices,
and additional selling of the Pacifics
and coppers were reported for foreign
account Exchange markets were dull,
with frmness in sterling and a slight
shading in rates on Paris and Berlin.
Marine 4 1-2s were almost the sole
source of strength to the bond mar
ket. other active issues manifesting an
uncertain trend Total sales, par
value, aggregated $4.070, 900.

DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD
Federal Trade Commission VIII Probe Rsidy the Rise in
Price of Gasoline Tourists Can Enter Canada Without
Supplying a Bond -American Automobile Manufacture
ers Called Upon to Fill Big Orders.

Owners Of automobiles here, who
have been watching carefully the rise
in the price of gasoline win be glad
to learn that the gasoline problem Is
to be rigidly probed by the Federal
Trade Commission.
The federal trade commission with
its weeping power and effective or
cost Of gasoline. with a view to locat-
ing the responsibility for the increase
in price and determining the justifica-
ton for the advance.
In fact preparations for the inquiry
have been under way for several weeks
and a staff of investigators Is already
at work. To promote the efficiency of
the inquiry and obtain facts before
many avenues OF information might
be closed, the work Is being prosecu-
ted with unusual secrecy and the
members of the commission refuse to
give details Of their operations.
The continued rise In the price Of
subjecs CT an inquiry to determine
whether there has been any violation
OF the Sherman anti-t trust act
No formal complaints have reached
Washington so far. Attorneys Of the
department of justice connected with
anti trust prosecutions, express the
view that an investigation can and
may be begun on the departments
own initiative.
1t is practically certain. that con-
gressional investigation Of the subject
will be proposed as soon as the ma
tional legislature reassembles after the
holidays. but it was said that the
soft pedal may be put on the inquiry
IL 1t bids fair to interfere with the
more far reaching and practical work
of the federal trade commission.
The commission has all the power
4rtas "a
might seek to invest itself with, and,
1t is explained, has the benz
eft Of technical and expert assistance.
Furthermore, 1t can infiict punishment
for any violation Of law that might
be found and adopt remedial measures.
While details of the proposed inquiry
as stated are lacking. It Is said that
the investigation has taken two forms
at this time s.
First TO ascertain the truthfulness
Of charges that In places where there
IS active competition between the

and that in other sections where there
is no competition the price is fixed up
on the basis of ':all the traffic can

Second-To ascertain whether there
alleged in some quarters as an excuse
for hosting the price.
Fortunately, 1t is said, the geological
survey keeps pretty good tab upon
production and will be able to present
figures of the actual quantity Of oil
produced.
Interest OF congressman in oil pro-
ducing regions Is likely to be aroused,
it is said. to develop whether the own
ers of oil properties are getting their
proportlonate share OF the increased
price of their refined product sold at
retail.
One prime object, it is said, Of the
investigation will be to smoke out the
"middlemen,y who may be getting an
undue profit at the expense Of the con-
sumer and sacrifice Of the original
producer.
The geological survey will publish
early this year its estimate of the pro-
duction of crude petroleum for 1915,
and it is understood that this will
show an increase over 1914. The pro-
duction of 1914 exceeded that of 1913
The last bulletin OF the survey on
oil production was issued last summer
based on the production Of the first
half OF 1915. In the light of that bull
letin the increased price Of gasoline
can be considered a commentary. The
bulletin closed with this statement:
The persistent food OF low priced
but relatively high grade oil from the
Oklahoma fields prevented any per-
manent advances. though temporary
fluctuations were noted in the market
