NEW YORK. April 12.-Almost two thirds of today's stock market trad ing was confined to the more promi- nent industrials, equipments. muni- tions. shippinss and coppets with a sprinkling of miscellaneous special ties and rails. The latter group was especially inactive.
 Dealings in U. s. Steel were rela- lively larger than usual, that stock rising IF to 1l25s but closing at a net gain of only 5s on extensive pro- fiji taking.
 Shippings were higher by to 3 points. Coppers. sugars, feathers, pal CTS and fertilizers kept moderate pace with other equipment and supply stocks. but oils were irregular.
 The more irregular movements we're restricted to speculative issues. Total sales. 645,OO0 shares.
 tPeace rumors were current through out the session. Quotations for for eign exchange gave no hint of such negotiations, dealings being exception ally narrow and light.
 Another increase in liability re sources was the sole feature of inter est in the Bank of England statement which showed a slight gain in gold holdings.
 Foreign or international issues were again sustaining features of the rral, s4.45OOOO. U. S. registered S's of l94c lost point on call.
 CHICAGO eRAlNc
 CHICAGO. April 12. = Amazing flights took place today in prices for wheat and corn. Demand for cash wheat was urgent, especially from export and milling interests. that May delivery rose II cents above yester- days finish, far surpassing all previ- ous top records. The market closed excited at 5.to 915 net advance, with May at 2.171z to 2.1S and July at 1.S9 to 1882. Corn gained 6A to "A. oats 2 to 27s and provisions E to 32 cents.
 Persistent buying and a lack of of ferings characterized the wheat mar ket except during a brief period at the outset when rains in the southwest temporarily eased down new crop de liyeries. Later. however, the atten- tion of traders centered almost who'll ly on indications of sharp competition between seaboard interests and rep resentatives of domestic flour manu- lecturers. In this connection it was said export business was being done on a much larger scale than current estimates would imply. Rumors that foreign governments were purchasing received special notice, whereas re- ports of peace moves, including word of supposed overtures by Bulgaria for separate terms. seemed to be com pletely ignored.
 Highest .prices of the day in tn wheat pit We're reached in the l' 15 minutes. In the final transactions the market reacted a little, but ner- yousness was hardly any, if at all. abated. Bulls contended that world scarcity of breadstuffs was now rec ognIzed by all.
 Corn sympathized with the wheat strength. but at first was the leader in the upward movement of prices. sOats derived firmness from other cereals. Provisions swung upward, Influenced chiefly by the rise in corn.

Complaints of high coal prices IN

Dr. Garfield today the statement that
government control of fuel has gone
far toward preventing runaway mar
kets and that in many instances prices
on domestic coal actually have been
reduced. Rituminous prices have been
cut down. he said. almost everywhere.
Dr. Garfield said he was not consid-
ering licensing either coal operators or
dealers for the present.

cents ton advance on anthracite, Ell

The fuel administration hopes to check
any effort by dealers to secure the

The law provides the employees may or

Emphasizing the need for unselfish CO.

Is in the world war, the Postmaster Cen
eral continues:
Notwithstanding this fact, and at this
critical period in our nations history, it
is regrettable to state that the organized
postal employees are making many selfish
demands and insisting that they shall not
be requirerd or permitted to work in eX-
cess Of the usual number of hours also
that their salaries be permanently in

Contracts of Coal Operators

step nearer actual supervision Of
coal, from the time 1t leaves the mines
until it enters the consumers bin, was
taken by the United States Fuel Ad-

that coal contracts between operators

Regulations providing that contracts
for coal shall be submitted for the
approval of DR.. Harry A. Garfield. ma
tional fuel administrator. and that no
agreement shall run longer than a
year, will shortly be issued by the
fuel administration.
The administration Is hopeful that
by close scrutiny Of contracts it will
be able to regulate the industry with
a greater consideration for the indi-
vidual needs of the consumers. No
prediction has been made as to whether
he proposed action will tend to cut
prices. 1t was generally believed that
the most hoped-for result viii be

May influence Congress.

IT by combining" the report says.
government employees are enabled to
unduly influence members of Congress
and others seeking election to public
office. the situation will naturally
arise, If 1t has not already arisen.
where Congress will be unduly influ-
enced by such organizations. the ap-
propriations for the salaries of such
employees will be greatly increased and
economic provision for the conduct of
the service impossible"
The report explains that postal en-
ployes are differently situated from
other workers in that they are not en-
ployed by private concerns but by the
government. whose officers are merely
executing the will of the people"
The report shows an audited surplus
for the year of S9.S36.211, the largest
in the history of the department. The

was AS per cent. The audited reye-
nues for the year. including money

Remarkable growth in postal savings
is shown. In 1917 there were 674,728
depositors, with a total of S131. .954, ,69S
to their credit. The average balance
for each depositor was S195.57. This
was an increase over the previous year
of 71.791 in the number of depositors.
45.934.S11 in the amount and s52.90 in
the per capita balance. The large pro-
portion of this total Is contributed by
Industrial centers. In 143 offices in
cities where there are big manufactur-
ing plants "A per cent of the deposits
are held.
The war has resulted in some postal
routes not being covered at times Men
drawn into industries by larger sal
aries often have left posts that could
not be filed, the report says. and rec
ommends that the department be given
more latitude in getting carriers when
conditions are unusual.
Mr.. Burleson. in his report reiterated
his belief that the government should
control telephone and telegraph lines,
with supervision intrusted to the Post
