WAITS REINFORCEMENTS.
German infantry has not been active
and it is probable that Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg is waiting for more
reinforcements before making his
heralded attack. Russian advices tell
ing of the German Withdrawals in the
east ado that some of the troops are
being taken to the Roumanian front.
Roumania is not taking part in the
peace negotiations and the Ukraine,
which lies beyond Moldavia and Bes-
sarabia, is opposed to the Bolsheviki.
FRENCH MAKE RAID.
South OF Juvincourt, i'll the Rheims
sector of Champagne. the French have
carried out a raid into. the German
lines and brought back prisoners. On
the British portion Of the front there
have been raids in addition to the ar
titlery duel, but no large operations
are yet indicated.
On the northern Italian 'front.' the
Austro- German tactics appear to be to
strike alternately at vital points on
either side of the Brenta. Checked
at Monte Asolone last week, the
enemy has struck toward the Eranzela
valley, west cf the river. After two
days OF bitter fighting, the Italians
have regained possession of lost posi-
tons on the Col Del Rosso, west of
the river, and have attacked the Aus
tro-German positions on Monte Per
tica, east of the river.
Huns Gain Prisoners,
Berlin, claims the capture OF 5000
prisoners il, the gaining Of the Col Del
Rosso, which later was lost to the
Italians,
Leon Trotzky, t)Yc Bolsheviki for
eign minister, has protested to the
Germans against the transferrence OF
troops fron, the eastern front, but
also has ordered Russian factories to
stop the manufacture Of munitions.
He did not indicate whether his gov
crnment would take any other steps
against German violation of the arm
jstlce.
Germans Delay Answer.
Peace negotiations at BrestLitovsk
apparently are making little progress.
The Germans have delayed their an
swer to the Bolsheviki terms and it is
reported that the conference will be
transferred to Stockholm shortly. In
the meantime the majority party in
the constituent assembly, the social
revolutionists, has convoked the as
sembly 10 meet January despite
Bolsheviki disapproval. !
German savagery has been called
officially to the attention OF the AM
ercan troops in France. An Amerl- |
can sentry has been found with his
throat cut, and an official bulletin says
he must have been so killed after
capture" by a force Of Germans
which surprised him. Information Of
enemy terrorism in driving women
and children from their homes in the
occupied sections OF France and Bel
gi1m to make room for German
troops. soldiers and war material
also has been given the American
troops.

New York, April 1a-Trading In Wall

standing aloof until they get something

some oficial statement regarding the

New York. April l3.-DUn's Review
Of Trade tomorrow Will say:
Changing conditions in business re-
suit from the national exigency. but
thus, far the economic readjustments
have been effected with a minimum
OF Unsettlement Both producing and
distributing interests give precedence
to Federal requirements and in bank
ing circles action has been taken with
view to facilitating the proposed
extensive financing.
The leading industries as expected
received additional stimulus from gov
eminent contracts Of magnitude, allot-
ted at special figures, and most Of the
works are pushed to the limit OF ca
pacity with further heavy demands
foreshadowed. Recognition that sup
plies. may prove inadequate and appre-
hension OF deranged deliveries prompts
belated domestic buyers 10 cover at
sharply advanced prices yet many
manufacturers are either not in po-
sition or are disinClined to make new
commitments and not little regular
business is being rejected
The labor problem occasions greater
concern as men arc withdrawn from
productive enterprise and the scarcity
of materials and fuel renders main
.tenance Of outputs stil more difficult
The high and rising costs Of necessities
also force increased economy purchas-
ing in many quarters, but the frequent
wage advances act as an offset and
consumption of the staples holds up
remarkably well under the conditions.
This is demonstrated by bank clear
inEs 29.S per cent larger this week
than last year at the principal outside
centers. though allowance must be
made for the element Of exceptional
prices.

New York ReactIonary.

The following analysis Of the New York
market situation was received yesterday
afternoon by W. B. Hibbs & Co. from
Logan & Bryan. their New York cor
respondent:
rails were firm but the industriais
wera reactionary. Short covering sub
sided as did the interior demand, but
even so there was not any evidence Of
much nervous liquidation. except in some
sections OF the industrial department,
such as In the motor group. in connection
with which the talk persists that the
government is likely to demand curtail-
ment In the output Of pleasure cars in
order that the materials used in their
makeup may be applied in other direc-
tions, owing to the scarcity Of the same.
The debate continues In Washington.
and the Street is anxiously awaiting
some definite Indication as to the ex-
tent of tax proposals
Reports were current today that the
corporate tax will be somewhat below
that which Is now imposed on Canadian
corporations which, II true, would doubt
less be favorably construed and lend en-
couragement to a renewal of construc-
tive endeavors in the stock market. All
things considered. the incentive is pres
ent to tread judiciously pending more
definite indications"
