EMPHASIS PLACED

Volume of Steel Orders Lighter Ow- ing to High Prices and Inability
 to Secure Delivery

New York, January 30-The steel com panies placed more stress upon specifi- cations, output and shipments than upon new business last week. The volume of orders secured were the lightest in many weeks. The railroad buying of equipment called for less than half the tonnage placed the preceding week. The falling off in building and bridge work was even more pronounoed high prices and in ability of the structural mills to make required shipments were held responsible.
 There was no lack of inquiries for tin- ished steel for export The demand for steel to be used in the manufacture of munitions abroad was especially heavy. but few contracts were closed. There are still inquiries in the market for be- tween 50O,OOO and 100000 tons of rolled and forged steel for foreign shipment.
 The railroad equipment orders in- cluded 30,O00 tons of rails, 1S30 cars. 35 locomotives, 5o00 tons of track accessories and less than 1000 tons of bridge work Manufacturers of light rails advanced prices s ton. The largest car contract was for 1000 for the Union tank line. The largest locomotive orders were 10 each for the Union Pacific and the Erie.

Heavy Fighting Between Vimy and Neuville-Rus sians Reported to Have
 Surrounded Erzerum

| London, January 30-Retention of the territory taken by the Germans in their offensive along the river Somme is claimed by the Berlin statement issued today and is not denied in the Paris com munication which records that another German attack was repulsed. l There has been heavy fighting along | the Neuville sector and the French have delivered vigorous counter-attacks seek 1 ing to regain lost trenches, according to | German news sources, none of which
 were successful. fss
 l Particularly heavy actions were fought
 on the road from vimy to Neuville, where | the Germans claim French attacks were 1 repulsed. The positions taken by the Germans south of the Somme according to Berlin's claim, extend to $500 meters at depth of 1900 meters. Seventeen off cers and 127O men were captured among whom were a number of Englishmen. Lively artillery duels have been fought in the Champagne district, but bad weather has hampered operations on the remainder of the front. A French feint east of Pont-a- Mouson was repulsed.
 
 further into the French territory by a determined attack near Dempierre, but the French artillery checked their advance and they were hurled back into their trenches by the infantry counter attack. The French statement records nothing of further importance along the western front.
 The Russian forces operating in the Caucasus continue to push forward and. according to dispatch from Athens, have surrounded Erzerum, from which city the Turkish authorities have fled. A strong Russian column is advancing to the Tigris valley, the dispatch adds.
 Opera tions around CzernowitZ and in Bukowina have slackened temporarily and nothing of importance is recorded either from Vienna or Petrograd tonight The allied bombardment of Monastir, the Servian city held by the Bulgarian and Austrian forces. resulted in heavier damage than was at first reported, ac- cording to advices from Saloniki. Bombs were dropped last Sunday on the bar racks, huts and the artillery park and also on the fortified heights on the out skirts of the city. all the positions at tackled being heavily damaged. Konak, where the Bulgarian headquar ters and wireless stations are located suffered heavily, according to the dis patch, while the raid upon Gievgeli pro- duced satisfactory results. The raid was carried out by squadron of French air men.

k Washington, January .30.-tfsp pecislD In the discussion in the Senate of the Newlands resolution, providing for the appointment of a congressional com mittee to study the question of rail road rates from a national standpoint, Alabama has deep interest. For this sub ject was introduced by Senator Under wood. The Alabamian, as a matter of fact. suggested the proposed step to the President, and the President included it as a recommendation in his message to this session of Congress.
 It is generally believed that the New lands resolution will go through both houses, and that Senator Underwood will be made member of the commit tee on investigation.

STOCKS FALL AWAY
 DESPITE REASONS
 FOR UPWARD TREND
Unusual Budget of Constructive News In Steel Common Dividend, Re sumption of St. Paul Common
 Dividends and Sale of Bonds

New York, January 3o-Although fa- vorable developments far outweighed the adverse influences in the stock market last week, quoted values steadily depre- eiated. Seldom is Wall street furnished in brief space of time with such bud get of constructive factors as the restored United States Steel common dividend, ac- companyied by record earnings and liquid assets resumption of the regular St. Paul common dividend and highly successful sale of New York state bonds.
 To these developments were added an undiminshed demand for steel, copper end other metals at higher prices, further substantial gains in railway earnings and bank exchanges of such volume as to offer indsputable proof of excellent general trade conditions.
 Among the counterbalaneing features, however, were the unceasing inflow of American stocks and bonds from abroad, President Wilson's preparedness address, in which there was a note of warning, re- vival of Washington's differences with Berlin and signs of an approaching strain With Great Britain. Of equal importance was the aggressive attitude of a large short interest emboldened by an atten- uated bull account. The ease with which standard stocks yielded to moderate pres sure and the deliberateness of the de- cline testified to weakened technical condition. Rails were relatively the heav- jest features with minimum losses of to 10 points from recent levels
 Lowest quotations were recorded on the final day of the week when acute weak Less was shown by New Haven and other issues subject to financial and other em- barrassment within the past year. War issues and coppers offered moderate re- sistance to the general trend, but United States Steel and other industrials of the same class, as well as American Smelling and a few specalties, prohibitive as to price, also fell away
 International credit conditions mani fested no material change Further mod crate commercial credits were estab- hshed and additional shipments from Amerlcas sperabundant supply of gold were made to South America, pursuant presumably to this countrys increased commercial and financial prominence in the republics there

Status of Prohibition Party in Alabama Will Be
 Determined
TO SHOW STRENGTH
 OF ADMINISTRATION
What Influence Will Conner Have on Result-Former Governor Has In- terested Himself on Behalf of
 Candidates-Lines Being Drawn
By l.. $. BETTY

I Montgomery faNtaary So.--tSpeeial.) From the primary election in May several important conclusions will be drawn. It will furnish evidence of the strength of the present administration, it will determine the status of the prohibition party in Alabama, and it will reveal what influence former Governor B. B. Conner possesses
 Already factionaI and party lines are being drawn. Some of the candi- dates doubtless will urge their nom ination on the ground that they sup ported with loyalty and fidelity the present chief executive. Others will present with equal fervor the argu- ment that they are prohibitionists, while certain others will proudly pro- claim the fact that they have the in- dorsement of MT. Conner.
 There is not the remotest doubt that MT. Conner plans to assist in the pie cutting. What his motives may be are not known at this time, though, of course, they are open to speculation. There can be no doubt, however, that success in naming winning candidates for state, county and congressional offices would be an excellent method of testing his strength. His future course might then be determined.
 That Mir Conner already has in- terested himself in behalf of certain candidates and prospective candidates is undeniable. Letters written to many influential people throughout the state bear abundant evidence of that fact. Citizens of Montgomery county have been honored with letters from the former governor urging their support of prospective candidate for Congress from the Second district. Other letters have brought eloquent appeals for the support of candi- date for president of the state public service commission
 All of which goes to prove that MT. Conner again wishes to feel the pulse of the states electorate.
 SAMFORD-BURR RACE
 The race for national committed man from Alabama pomises to be one of the most interesting fights to be staged in the next primary. William Hodge Sanford of Montgomery and Borden Burr of Birmingham have an nounced for the office, and indications are that there will be no. other en- tries.
 Both MT. Sanford and MT. Burr are prohibitionists. They are able lawyers (Continued on Page Six)
