mocracy in the world we must and will do our share. To win this war every worker, every producer, every distributor, every carrier, and even every consumer must periodically do his or her part. Extravagance must stop; waste likewise; non-essent1al work must be postponed, and luxurles curtailed. Economy and conservation of all necessities must be worldwide in order that the whole man-pOwer of the Allies can be utilized to crush the machinery and spirit of militar1sm which planned and perpetrated this terrific crime.
 The advancing tendency in interest rates is plainly reflected in the per- sistent fall of security values. The shrinkage of many of these to far be- low intrinsic values, when measured by former standards, must be at- tributed chiefly to the huge mass of government obligations forced upon the market by war finance. Mean while private corporations cannot compete with the government in b1d- ding for capital. This is the one pre- eminent cause of the wave of l1qulda- tion which started with the first lAb- erty Loan. The decline in the price of the latter. though small, is signln- cant for with the growing demand or governments all over the world Tor money in vast sums, higher rates were inevitable. Short date funds are re- latively abundant and cheap. Ihls weeks payments on the Liberty Loan was carried through almost without any noticeable effect As for the fu- ture of the market, predictions are useless in times of such great uncer- tainty. The selling pressure has ma- terially lessened with more confident feeling on the buying side, and 1t Is worthy of note that prices show healthy recoveries after every slump Speculative operation should be con ducted with caution. For the actual investor there are many positive bar gains, whether prices go lower or not, and it is known that there has been strong buying of many of the best class of industrial and railroad shares.

NEW REGULATIONS
More Liberal Provisions for Men With Dependents-TO Be Among Last Called Into the Service.

Washington Nov. 17.-New regu- latiors under which the remaining
 availables of the nine million men
 registered for military duty will be
 drafted for service with the colors
 were announced today by Provost
 Marshal Gen. Crowder The new
 regulations are coincident with the
 division of eligibles into five classes,
 and the circulation of the official questionnaires which have been dis cussed in previous announcements. The new regulations, as has been announced before repeal all proceed ing regulations, cancel all exemptions and discharges granted under the old system and restore every registered l man to his original status He will hereafter be required to undergo all examinations anew and present his claims for exemption again.
 AS the new classifications make more liberal provision for leaving men with dependents in the classes to be 1 called last, it is practically certain l that every man who had a legitimate | exemption on the ground of de- 1 pendency under the old regulations will get the same under the new ones.
 The first class, which embraces men
 wholly without dependents, is ex-
 pected to bring in fully two million
 men. The questionnaires now are be- ing circulated among the registrants l at the rate of five per cent. of each ] local registration each day. Volun- l ter medical and legal boards being organized in each district will assist
 registrants in making out the forms
 ands supporting afidavits, which are l very complete.

NEW MINIMUMS
 IN HUDSON STOCK
Noteworthy Features Today Are
 Shipping and Motors Stock

Wall Street.-Moderate buying ad- vanced leading stocks from fractions to a point at the outset of today's dealings, few issues scoring even larger gains. Shippings, war issues and motors were especially favored. Rails were variable, Delaware and Hudson falling to the new minimum of 92, while Southern Pacific gained 1 3-8. Further readjustment of the Liberty bonds was noted, the fours making a new low at 98.60 and the 3 1-2's rising to 1922.
 Uncertain conditions ruled during today's nominal trading in stocks. Heaviness of rails and utilities offset better tendencies among industrials and specialties. Canadian Pacific at 130 1-8 and Delaware and Hudson at 91 registered new minimums and Peoples Gas dropped 23-8. The few noteworthy features of strength included shippings. motors and active equipments. U. s. Steel and allied shares were little more than steady The closing was irregular Sales ap- proximated 175,000 shares. Liberty fours established a new minimum, falling from 9S.6O to 98.1O, the 1-2's hardening from 99 to 99.48.
