ton of one hundred or more high

ines. At a conference in which a
score of builders were represented.

worthy and have a much larger
cruising radius than the standard

business was disposed of, instead of wait ing in session for the Senate to report itself ready for adjournment, the House cut short the period of song and celebra- ton that usually occupies the closing hours of a session there. Although the galleries were crowded, there were few dramatic features in the proceedings in either House or Senate.
 It seems as if these measures must fail for lack of time:
 The army bill.
 Sundry civil bill.
 General deficiency bill.
 Military academy bill.
 Bill to extend powers of the shipping board.
 Amendments to the federal reserve law to increase the gold reserve.
 All other general legislation.
 By leaving it's work unfinished, Con- gress also leaves the possibility of an extra session. While President Wilson has not decided to call one, most leaders think the new Congress will assemble probably in June if the President con- cludes to call it before next December.

 Cleveland-General embargoes by the railroads. car shortages and lack of adequate fuel have caused market les sening of activities.
 Chicago-Basic business conditions have not changed materially since last month, although railroad embargoes and car shortages have affected almost every line of industry. St. Louis-Business activity in this district continues unabated.
 Minneapolis-Traffc difficulties due to the severe cold and to the effect of the car blockade have had a very serious ef- feet on northwestern business.

While the negotiations continued re- publican and democratic senators stand- ing by the President, offered a manifesto to be issued to the public in case the few opponents of the bill succeeded in preventing a vote by noon tomorrow.
 The manifesto, which every senator fla voring the bill will be asked to sign, sets forth that those who stand behind the President feel they have been deprived of their votes by flibusterng tactics. preventing the measure from coming to passage before the end of the session.
 The manifesto is as follows:
 "The undersigned United States sena- tors favor the passage of Senate bill S322 to authorize the President of the United States to arm American merchant yes sels. A similar bill already passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 40S to 13. Under the rules of the Senate allowing unlimited debate it now ap- pears to be impossible to obtain a vote prior to noon, March 4, 1917, when the session of Congress expires.
 We desire the statement entered In the record to establish the fact that the Senate favors the legislation and would pass it if vote could be obtained.'' Sixty-eght senators had signed the manifesto to support the bill at late hour tonight. There were still some sen ators who were known to favor it who were absent. Senators who signed the declaration were:
