NEW YORK STOCKS
Many Influences Make for Re-
straint in Days Irregular
Market. =.
RALLY IN FIRST HOUR

New York Jan. l7.-New low records for
Russian and Italian exchange, which regis
tered the greatest discounts since the out
break OF the war the reported activities
of the German raiders In South American
waters, causing marine insurance to mount
to prohibitive rates, and the conservative
tone of steel trade authorities, were among
the influences which made for restraint in
today's irregular market.
The acute weakness of remittances TO
Petrograd and Rome. rubles being quoted
at 1905 and Tires at SOS. was attributed
by dealers In foreign exchange to the in
ability or refusal OF those countries to meet
the requirements Of our bankers. The re-
cent sharp decline In Russian government
bonds on the curb also counted for the de-
probation Of the ruble.
Uncertain price changes were scored at
the opening OF the market, the only note
worthy alteration being In Bethlehem Steel,
which rose points to 476, but reacted to
$40 In the final hours. The reversal was
accompanied by reports affecting the com
panys policy of expansion and next weeks
dividend action.
There was general rally during the
first hour, but this gave way to variable
declines In the afternoon. United States
Steel, which at one time showed slight
gain over the previous day, closed at
loss Of almost points with to for other
active industrials, coppers. equipments
munitions and shippings. and ~ for INDUS
trial Alcohol, the most cratic OF the spe-
cialties.
The activity of pools was observed in the
temporary strength Of motor issues Max
well making an extreme gain OF b%. with
4 for General Motors and az for Stude-
baker Various miscellaneous issues also
derived their impulse from professional
sources.
Rails moved with the current Pacifcs,
coalers and New Haven sagging / to
points on light offerings, although minor
issues like Rock Island and Missouri Pacific
were firm when not actually strong. Total
sales amounted to 900 shares.
Steadiness ruled in the limited bond
dealings, international issues showing less
activity. Total sales par value, $5.360,O
United States bonds were unchanged on call.

HOLLAND PEOPLE
NOW SUBJECT. TO
RATION SYSTEM

THE HAGUE, Netherlands.--Neafly
all Holland has been put on system
of government rations. because of the
virtual stopping Of grain imports from
America as q result Of the ruthless
warfare and the poor crops
of potatoes and other vegetables. The
Entente Allies had long since put In
use a system Of rationing the Holland
ers In the matter of grain imports but
now the halt in the movement of all
shipping has caused virtual cessa.
ton Of all imports. IL
A bread-card system had been in ef.
feet since February. Under the new
plan, potato and rye flour Is mixed
with American flour, effecting an econ
omy Of more than so per cent in the
consumption Of wheat Owing to q
shortage of the stock of potatoes, the
allowance has been reduced and po-
tatoless days have been established.
The monthly ration Of peas and beans
to each person amounts to little
more than one pound. f.. -
The other prime necessities of life
that are under direct government con-
troll are being distributed to each COM
munity according to the number Of its
inhabitants, the local authorities then
dividing the supplies among the In
diyiduals. -: : ~ :. -,
Holland Is beginning to follow the
example of Germany In establishing
central kitchens. The principal one
thus far. put into operation Is at Rot
terdam. 1t provides about q quart Of
warm food for, q sum equal to four
American cents. When prepared the
food is rapidly transported to seven.

ton Is made.
Food and hunger demonstrations
