M0VEMENT NORROWEST IN

RAILS BEAR BRUNT
OF EARLY REVERSAL

New York, Dec. 7.-Stocks were
heavy in the first half Of today's stag
nant session, but made up part of
their loss later, though closing with
heavy tone. The movement was the
norrowest and least important of any
day for many weeks, total dealings ag-
gregating only 100000 shares.
The same influences which so long
have served to check activity and in
itiative were again operative. Foreign
news offered little encouraging devel-
opments at Washington were reflect
ing in the besitant tone Of industrials
and war issues.
Rails bore the brunt of the early
reversal investment stocks making
gross recessiOns of one to two points.
Yet new minimums were reached by
Baltimore and Ohio at "a and Pennsyl-
vania at 55h, selling of the latter
again suggesting urgent liquidation.
Utilities extended recent losses,
Western Union, however, regaining it's
~ point decline. United States Steel
was under pressure most Of the time
with other equipments, but rallied
slightly in the last hour, only to fall
back again.
Shippings, coppers and some half
score speculative specialties reacted
and recovered as the movement shift
ed elsewhere, ending for the most
part, however at net losses.
International bonds were heavy. An.

EMBARGO ON CORN AND
OATS EASTWARD BOUND.
Order Effective December 10
Which Will Build up Stocks
at Centers.
LIQUIDATION IN OATS
FORCES PRICES DOWN

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 7.-PrOnOunced
weakness in the grain market resulted
today from an embargo on corn and
oats east bound from Chicago begin
ming Dec. -. Corn closed heavy, %
to lc net lower, with July 121h to
121A and May 11S% to 119. Oats fin
ished 21h to 3kc down, and provisions
off - to IS cents.
The ban on eastward shipments
started corn prices down grade at
once. 1t was conceded on all sides
that the probable effect of the en-
barge would be to build up stocks
here and at other important termin-
ais, especially when the increasing
supply of cars in the corn belt began
to exercise greater influence. Gossip
was current that within fortnight
the delivery of the entire total of 49,
900 cars which the government had or
dered to the west would be completed.
The fact that the snowfalls throughout
the chief producing states had not
been of character to interfere with
the curing of corn acted as further
bar to any important rally.
Liquidation by holders took place
on a large scale in the oats market.
The December option in particular
suffered in value.
Provisions fell with grain and hogs.
Government buying for Great Britain
and Belgium tended somewhat to
check the declines.

:2qw-s A JUSEMERDICT.

Kate RichardssO Hare has been con-
victed by a representative North Da-
kota jury under the espionage act of
June Is, 1917. That in itself is i'm
portant. Kate Richards O'Hare is, as
counsel for the government described
her, dangerous woman. She is in
telligent, fearless and fanatic on the
subject Of socialism. AS paid propa-
gandist she has gone up and down
the country preaching against war
war in any form or for any cause, no
matter AaW,hiehteoasuTAa,Ra ,YhA
has done cannot be estimated. It's ef-
fects in one North Dakota community
could be traced through the witnesses
for the defense from Bowman, each
of whom, man and woman, testified
that nothing was said in Mrs. O'Harc's
lecture at Bowman which gave them
offense or which did not find them in
hearty accord. A majority of them ap-
plauded.
More important than the mere con.
viction of Mrs. O'Hare, who faces a
possible 10 years or more behind the
bars of federal prison, lis the rebuke
which representative group of North
Dakota men-farmers, professional
men, laborers and merchants-have
administered to the Totten type of
propaganda here at home. The Tot
tens-Rev. George A., president of Mr..
Townley's Northwest Public Service
bureau, which supplies league news
papers with their opinions, and an ap-
pointee of Governor Frazier on the
state board of regents; Judge Z. B.
Totten, prospective league candidate
for the supreme court, county judge
OF Bowman, and Mrs. Lillian Totten,
postmistress at Bowman, whose patri.
Otism was questioned in the United
States senate and before the same
. grand jury which indicted Mrs. % Hare
were here in force. They were
plainly, openly here in defense of Mrs.
OHare. The Tottens, as much as
Mrs. O'Hare herself, appeared in the
testimony of witnesses for the de-
Tense. The Tottens were used by the
attorney for the defense in brilliant
closing argument by which he sought
to sweep from the minds OF the jurors
the logical conclusions they had drawn
from the prosecutions array of facts.
When such a jury as that which
tried Mrs. O'Hare after less than 80
minutes deliberation found Mrs
O'Hare guilty as charged. they filed
in behalf of North Dakota protest
against the Tottenesque brand of poll
tics. The downfall of the Tottcns
defense of sedition is the best vindi
cation the patriotism of North Dakota
has yet received.

Dakota has chosen to place one OF
