Press Endorses Hollands Stand.

The Hague, Via London, Feb. g. Unanimous approval is given by the Dutch papers to the answer sent by Foreign Minister Loudon to Maurice M. Langhorne, the American charge d. affaires here, declining, as did the other neutrals, to follow President Wilson's suggestion that they break off diplomatic relations with Germany which some say would have been dan gerous. The newspapers declare that Washington should have foreseen the presidents suggestion would not meet with success. They are equally unani- nous, however in pointing out that noncompliance is not to be inter-
 preted as recognition of the legitimacy of Germany's ruthlessness or the aban- donment of claims to satisfaction should neutral ships destined for ports of entente powers be interfered with.

{ Financial { STEEL YIELDS GAINS
 MADE EARLY IN DAY
Stocks Take Drop at Afternoon Session on Wall St.

Wall Street-EXtreme caution was reflected in the course of prices dur ing today's early trading on the stock exchange. Initial quotations showed few changes beyond fractional limits, but secondary offerings were mainly at low level United States SteeF dropped a point from it's top price, with one to almost two points for .crucible and Lacka- wanna steel and IA for Bethlehem steel rights" Other heavy features included American Woolen, Industrial alcohol, West Indies and Central leather. The trend of foreign bonds was seen in the weakness of Anglo French 5's which broke all previous low records at 91 1-S
 From the ease with which prices rallied alter it was the general opinion that the irregular declines after the opening were mainly due to short selling. Ipdustrials comprising the steel group, and popular equipments soon rose to or above yesterdays final ngures, with oils, marine preferred, central leather and Pittsburgh coal. Peoples Gas lost g. points on publica- tlon of the annual report showing a large decrease in earnings. Pacif1cs and Atchison were strongest of the railway issues. Trading halted on the recovery with stagnation in the sec ond hour. Bonds were heavy with a further recession in Anglo-French 5's.
 Steel yielded all it's forenoon gain later and rails reversed their earlier course with .coppers. Rubber, Beet Sugar and American Car were one
 to three points lower. Local trans actions also developed further weak ness.
 CLOSING.-Minimum prices of the week were made by important stocks, including Steel and Reading. in the perfunctory dealings of the last houv with nominal rallies at the end The closing was irregular. Sales were es : timated at 450, 1000 shares for the day.
