United states Rubber-Common stock
of the United States Rubber Company
was about the weakest spot in the
trading list yesterday. After selling
at 81 it declined to 56K and closed 5
points off, at OH, on dealings of 26,4OO
shares. The company announced a new
issue of 60,OO0,O0O of 5 per cent bonds
on Friday. The break in the stock
yesterday was attributed to the fact
that the company has agreed not to
pay any dividend on the common stock
unless unencumbered, quick assets ex-
coed the aggregate debt Of the com
pany and subsidiaries, including out
standing bonds. 1t was pointed out in
this connection that liquid unencum-
bered assets, not including earnings Of
the last year, total at the present time
approximately ssO,OOO,OOO, or S2O,OOO,
600 in excess of the new bond issue.
Railroad Bonds Strong. Pronounced
strength Of the general bond market IS
one Of the outstanding features of the
financial situation at the moment The
average price of leading investment is
sues is now at the highest level since
the war began. In the last two weeks
there has been a steadily growing de-
mand for gilt-edge bonds, particularly
railway issues, with a resultant sub
stantial appreciation in values. One Of
the explanations of the movement in
bonds is the fact that uncertainty of
the stock market, owing to the peace
discussions and other considerations, is
causing many individuals TO turn to
first class mortgage issues for safe
investment of their idle funds. More
over. the marked ease in the general
money situation and the release at the
first of the year of the largest amount
Of dividend and interest disbursements
on record are important contributing
factors. The week just ended saw some
unusually large net advances in rail
wav bond prices. Central Pacific Short

Bonus for Promptness

The inducement to efficiency is sup.
plemented with the inducement 70
promptness. In the plant referred to.
which employs many thousand skilled
workingmen, the loss OF few minutes
by each every day in being ready for
duty when the day begins and power is
turned on amounts to a large sum. To
eliminate this loss or reduce it to a
minimum this concern has adopted .
bonus plan. Workmen who use steam
cars in reaching the plants from their
homes are allowed limit OF sixty min.
utes a month for hardness in report.
ing. Those who travel by trolley are
allowed ninety minutes II st the end
Of the month their aggregate of tsrdi-
ness did not exceed the time limit, they
are paid bonus on the amount earned
for that month. Thus far the expert
ment has worked satisfactorily, and it
enables the management TO sppraise
the promptness as well as the pro-
iciency OF employees. No such plan,
however, is applicable to common day
labor, and it was the scarcity in this
department that was severely felt dur
ing the last half Of 1916.
The third factor bearing upon 1917
result is the duration Of the war. and
ranking fourth is the outturn Of the
crops, which to a considerable extent
will depend upon adequate labor supply
as we'll as upon weather conditions.

Rails of the better class yielded to points, Reading falling and Great Northern 6%.

 United States Steel supplemented last weeks severe setback by further decline of "A to 90B, the lowest of the year, to the accompaniment of offer ings that fairly taxed the capacity of the market. Independent steels yielded to points and allied equipments and coppers as much, while oils, feathers, sugars and the many war supply stocks brooke to '.
 Rallies of to points in the final hour were attributed to the statement of a high treasury official. advocating a prompt and material advance of rates to the railroads. Short covering also accounted in a measure for the partial recovery. Sales, 1,150 shares

There are reports in common
circulation that much of the
money made in handling grain
in the northwest has been due
to just this condition. Federal
grading of wheat will provide
uniform grades for the entire

way will place the grain busi-

FEDERAL WHEAT GRADING

" pass on the details Of
the plan for federal
grading of wheat the East Ore
gOnian feels safe in the pre-
diction that when they once
become accustomed to the new
method the farmers are going
TO like the plan. This because
the plan viii mean a more ac-
curate and impartial determi-
nation of wheat grading than
we have had in the past and it
is a foregone conclusion that
such a situation cannot fail to
help the producer. It may be
set down as a fixed rule that
wherever the grade Of a pro-
duct is in question the produ-
Ger is the chief sufferer when
he sells. The buyer, realizing
the uncertainty before him,
viii quite naturally take a mar
