 STIFF ULTIMATUM
Players Must Pay Expenses to Camp if They Do Not Agree on Terms Be- fore Starting Time.

Boston, Feb. 20.-President Harry H. F,razee of the Boston American League baseball club today delivered an ultimatum to Pitcher Carl Mays which he said applied to all players who were withholding their sigma turies to contracts rendered them by the club because of salary differences Mays had written that he would go to Hot Springs and discuss terms there.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET SHOWED STRENGTH.
Dealings Were on a Broader and Larger Scale Than of Recent Ses- sions.

, New York, Feb. 20.-The market to- day gave unmistakable evidence of a disposition to shake off the apathy and timidity which have been it's chief characteristics ever since the early part of the year. Stocks of almost all descriptions were taken with appar- ent freedom and confidence, rails and shippings alone showing comparative backwardness.
 Dealings were on a broader and larger scale than at any time within the past fortnight and comprehended an unusual variety of issues, but sea- soned or representative stocks were most in favor, especially industrials, metals and equipments.
 Commission houses reported mod crate revival of public interest, but a very large proportion of the turnover, which aggregated 620,00 shares, re- suited from further covering by an overextended short interest
 United States Steel and other fa- vorites furnished the basis for much of the days business. Steel made an extreme gain of 3-S points on steady accumulation, which comprised many large individual lots. Allied industri- als were better by one to two points, with six for Virginia Coal, Iron and Coke.
 International bonds were irregular on further heavinesS in United King dom issues. Total sales (par value) aggregated g, ,755 ,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

COAL AND IRON TO

Coal and iron ore hereafter will be
given preference in movement over
other freight, according to orders
from the council of national defense's
general railroad board, as a means of
securing an adequate supply of the
two materials on which industrial pre-
parations must depend. Railroad pres.
idents were charged individually with
the responsibility of Carrying out the
orders under threat of disciplinary
measures in case of failure. This is
the first important step taken by the
board since its organization two
weeks ago with Fairfax Harrison,
president of the Southern Railroad at
its head and including five o.mer rail.

Its aim is TO coordinate the work Of

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Two or
ders have just been issued by the
secretary of agriculture. effective
June l, 1917, on account OF the white
pine blister rust. One of these or
ders prohibits the further importa-
ton OF currant and gooseberry plants
from Europe and Asia. The other or.
der guarantees all the states east of
and including the states OF Minneso-
Ia. Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and
Louisiana, and prohibits the move
ment from these states TO points out
side the quarantined area of all five.
leafed pines and currant and goose

hibition of the movement of five
leafed pines and black currant plants
TO any point outside the heavily in.
fected region comprising the New
England States and the State of New
York. This additional quarantine is
made for the purpose of protecting

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
is UNLIKELY

fdent there will be no nationwide
prohibition legislation at this session
of congress.
Optimistic prohibition champions
are now looking for no more than a
law torbidding the sale OF liquor to
soldiers or sailors.
The case against any attempt at
general prohibition legislation has
been based on the arguments that a
amendment could not
be adopted and put into effect in less
than year and that the government
needs the revenue from liquor taxes
for the war chest.
The ways and means subcommittee.
which is drafting a preliminary reve.
nue. bill, is being urged to increase the
