Market uotations

q little over 10000 soldiers, from
their homes to training camps or en-
barkation points. This service In
volved. not only q great deal of spe-
cial train service, but the employment
Of nearly 1900 passenger cars. q good
many sleeping cars, 1900 baggage cars
and $500 freight cars. Yet there was
no interference with ordinary traffic.
This could not have been accom-
plished had not the government per
mitted the railroads, under the con-
trpl OF the railway war board, to be
unified that the highest economy of
movement and efficiency in service
could be obtained.
That the public Is responding cor
daily to these new and formerly pro-
hibited railroad methods Is recog-
nized by the railroad war board. For
that organization asserts that the
public and especially the shippers are
giving all the cooperation that Is
possible to the railroads in the ham
ding of this increased traffic. This
cooperation has made It possible for
the railroads to reduce their passen-
ger service by approximately 100000
miles. In that way many locomotives,
many freight cars and a great num-
Der OF tram crews nave been SO re-
leased that they have been able great
ly to facilitate the movements of coal,
food products and supplies needed by
the government. This has all been
accomplished under private manage
ment. The government does not con-
troll and has not conscripted the rail-
roads. 1t has done no more than to
permit the suspension of the operation

enforced. would have made this eff
cheney impossible.
1t has all been a very great object
lesson. and the reason are excellent
for believing that Congress and the
people are learning lesson. II they
are. then the relation Of the railroads
to the government and to the people
will be beneficially changed and the
desperate anxiety which the railroad
situation has caused will be ended.

CAPITAL TRACTION

Large Offering Is Readily Absorbed
During Session.

A total of IS shares of Capital
Traction stock was sold at yester-
days session Of the Washington
Stock Exchange. at s01-x early, to
a close Of so. The market absorbed
the offerings in good shape and
closed with so bid.
Twenty shares of Railway prefer

two of Washington Gas sold at. so.
Capital Traction IS brought ss, a
price that is being bid with regu-
larity.
Mondays terrific raid on stock
values, which practically made new
low records on many stocks, was
said to have ben largely due to the
circulated reports that the stock
exchange would close and that there
would be a repetition of the con-
ditions prevailing in 1914. That the
reports were without foundation
was positively declared by President
Noble, who characterised the rumor
as simply ridiculous"

RAILROAD ISSUES
RECOVER LOSSES
Combination of Events Causes
General Advance.

New York. Oct. 1e.-Sharp general
recoveries in today's stock market
gave people who had chung tena-
ciously to their shares during the
heavy liquidation a better feeling of
security. The recovery did not start
until well directed and successful.
IL temporary, raid in the early trad
ing carried many issues to levels even
below those made yesterday. Union
Pacific sold at 40 IA, L. s. Steel
preferred at Ill rs, Bethlehem Steel
B at 60 is. Reading at 20 "a.
The course of the renewed bear
drive was checked by several devel-
opments which was interpreted as
decidedly bullish. A statement by
Judge Gary that the latest steel prices
fixed by Federal authorities were
satisfactory even though lower than
anticipated, met with approval.
II was reported that western rail-
roads will join with those of the
east In demanding higher freight
rates. The eastern roads are to be
given a bearing tomorrow in refer
ence to reopening the freight rate
case. This. with the knowledge that
the West Virginia state commission
has granted a IL per cent increase
to railroads of that state on inter-
state business, had a natural tenden.
cy to stiffen railroad shares.
Steel and railroad stocks led the
advance. The better feeling was
quickly communicated to the entire
list There followed a rally which
held through the day, with but slight
concessions at the close Many stand
ard stocks closed at the days top
prices.
The days net gains ranged from ]
to 4 IA points. the latter advances
being made by Republic Steel. United
States Steel common advanced al!

willing to see higher prices hid in the fear
that government interference would ensue. st.
