FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL.
The One Absorbing Feature Was
United States Steel.

New York, Jan. 25.-The one absorb
ing feature of todays dull and re-
stricted market was United states
Steel, all other considerations and de-
velopments being relegated to com
parative obscurity. OF recent weeks
Steel had come to be regarded as the
barometer of speculative as well as
industrial conditions and the pros
perity attending the corporations bus
mess in the last half of 1915 pointed
dividends, which were suspended in
the last quarter of 1914.
The meeting of the Steel directors,
at which Steel common was restored
to it's per cent. status, was not held
until after the close of the market
Meantime, however, Steel. which open
ed at "a to "a 5-8, a maximum over
night gain of 1 Is. rose to IS, reacted
a small fraction, then made a new
high for the day at So IL, and closed
at "a 1-2, a net gain of a point.
Dealings in Steel aggregated about
$4,000 shares, or over rs per cent. OF
the days turnover. Publication of the
corporations statement for the fourth
quarter of 1915 disclosed total earn
ings of $51,232,788, which exceeds all
previous records for any quarter by
$5,729,0S4. Incidentally, the amount OF
cash in hand was stated to be about
$105, 600, 900.
Trading in other usually active
stocks was stagnant, except for the
first and final hours, when coppers
and some speculative specialties were
rushed forward with gains of one to
four points. War shares averaged one
point gains and motor stocks moved
unevenly, while high priced industrials
were decidedly irregular, Cuban-Amer
lean Sugar advancing to 1856 and
General Motors 10 to 4S5, recovering
it's dividend, while U. S. Industrial AL
cohol recorded net loss of 1-2 al
156, and Oils were again liquidated in
moderate volume.
Rails were distinctly disappointing
firmness in Canadian Pacific and Bal
timore and Ohio being offset by heavi-
ness in Fries, New Haven and some
less conspicuous shares of that di-
vision. Total sales amounted to $780,
600 shares.
Leading Pacific roads submitted
statements for December, Northern
Pacific increasing it's net income by
81, $50, 900, Union Pacific by $1,1S0, 00t
and Atchison by $1,251 900.
Bonds were firm, a heavy demand
for Mercantile Marine LIS featuring
the dealings. Total sales, par value
aggregated $3,445,000.

AMERICAN OFFICERS WGILANT
ON RATTLEFIELDs OF EUROPE,
Their Reports Will Prove of Great |
Value in the New Navy Plans.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Some idea of
what American army officers are learn
ing on the battleflelds of
Europe was given the senate military
committee today by Colonel Charles
G. Treat, of the army war college.
Much of what the colonel said was
treated az confidential. but 1t is known
that he told the committee there was
an American observer with the armies
of each belligerent nation and that
their reports to the war college had
been of great value in the preparation
ofnew army plans.
AS a matter of course. Colonel Treat
said, none of the observers would send
home during the war information
which might be of value to other bel
ligerents should 1t become known in
this country.
Both the congressional military COM
mittees were given much information
today as to artillery Of all types.
Brigadier' General Crozier, chief of
ordinance, discussed in detail before
the house committee the war depart
ment's plans for big guns. while Col
onel Treat, a field artilleryman, talked
of the lessons drawn from the war.
Colonel Treat disclosed that the war
department has definite information
as to the famous AZ centimeter howit-
zers which the Germans used to crush
their way through French frontier
forts The guns can be fired without
mounting them on concrete emplace-
| ments, he said. and made ready for
use in less than an hour and a half
after they reach a given point. Both
| he and General Crozier told of plans
for similar guns now being prepared in
| the war department. Primarily they
will be used in coast defense work, al
| use in field operations also are be-
| ing worked out.

COST OF FUEL AND
OIL FOR WARSHIPS
Subject of Hearing Before the House
Naval Committee.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Efforts of the
navy department to cut down the cost
of fuel and other materials used in
machinery or operations of warships
were outlined to the house naval COM
mittee today by Rear Admiral Nc
Gowan paymaster-general. He was
questioned at length by committeeman
in connection with the naval appro-
priation bill. Admaral MCGOWAN said
oil was fifty per cent. more efficient
than coal as fuel for warships. but
that at prevailing prices coal was the
cheaper for the Atlantic fleet. The
reverse was true in the Pacific, he said,
but opening of the Alaska coal fields
by completion of the government rail-
way there was expected to again make
coal the logical fuel for the Pacific
feet. He said the department paid
an average of 16 cents a gallon for the
100000 gallons of gasoline used last
year, but that prices now were soar
ing.

they are, in fact. In all the really

The height TO which the hands are

the height to which the players Sc

their hands is correct for those Of

indicate how the hands assume the
position they are in at the top or the

ever read. In books, or magazines, in
talks with professional golf instrue-
tors, 1t has always been stated that
the hands are carried around the
body" Some advocate one method
and some, another, but all agree
that the hands are carried around
the body, by and Of themselves:
that the hands leave the direct back
line from the ball and are carried,
or swung. around the body in a cir
cular motion, by their o1on move
ment. This agreement is not the
result Of analysis, but rather the de-
scription Of sensation, = bodily

that we. are doing a particular thing
In way quite different from our
actual motions, hence the danger Of
describing state of mind, so far
as value to the one to whom we try
to impart knowledge. .
Analysts has to do with cause and
effect. There is no attempt to de-
scribe feelings. fully agree that
