Which organization will have
charge of the dry campaign i'm behalf
of the constitutional dry amendment
next year promises to be quite a bone
of contention. Already the State
Anti-Saloon League and the state
prohibition leaders have locked
horns over who will be it and no one
seems able to settle the controversy.
Who will handle the money seems to
be the chief trouble. In the mean

ing on and saying nothing. So, far
two states, Iowa and Ohio, have fallen
their way and they would not be sur

Quite little buying came from
spot houses and Liverpool interests.
The former were fixing prices for
spinners, and it was also declared
that there was more buying of fu-

NEW YORK, March 3.-Today's
short session Of the stock market
was a most perfunctory affair. Wall
Street was practically deserted and
only the professional traders on the
Hoor OF the exchange kept up the
semblance of trading. There was
some short covering, and evening up
OF accounts for the weekend.
Prices were firm throughout, even
strong at intervals but business was
so restricted that it was plain there
was no more real demand than there
were offerings. Sentiment is cheer
ful for the most part, but it is evil
dent that the public is still waiting
on events at Washington.
Despite the uncertainties inherent
in the international situation and
their effect on transportation both on
sea and land. The trade journals
emphasize the fact that general busi-
ness was never better at this time OF
year than now. Bank clearings this
week totaled $3.50, ,4eS,s34, against
t4.5os,3ss,42s last week and $4,s25,-
S76.4SS in this week last year, a gain
of ISL per cent. New York clearings
disclosed q gain of 81 per cent. EX-
ports from London to the United
States In February increased about
S1,700,oOo despite German submarines
and imports at this port last week
increased nearly S5.0o0,000.
Improved traffic conditions and bet
ter weather are helping the steel
trade, with a particularly keen de-
mand for ship steel and pig iron.
Railroad earnings in January were on
the whole good, although some large
systems like the Reading. for exam
pie, show q substantial decline in net.
Atlantic Coast Line, Chicago and
Northwestern. and others disclose
gains in net for the month.
There was some show of activity in
securities following the report from
Washington that no matter what hap
pened to the legislation still pending
In Congress there will be no extra ses-
sion before June. In the industrial
list price advances ranged from one
10 three points, except in the case of
certain specialties. Barrett Company
was weak in the extreme on an
nouncement OF an increase in capital.
ization.
The copper stocks were in good de
mend. United States Steel more than
made up it's dividend. The railroad
list was little changed. New York
Central and Reading were hrm fea-
lures, Sugar issues were in fair de.
nApd on reports of heavy British buy
Ing OF sugar in Cuba. The commodi
ties markets were steady.
London was quiet with a firmer ten
dency for consols. There was no fea-
ture in the foreign exchange market
save that italian rates still holds the
new low record OF 7.16 established
yesterday, a discount OF more than So
per cent.
The Washington times., 1917-03-03
Switching From the Rails.

Close observers OF the ticker tape
calls attention to the unusually lib
eral offerings Of such high grade rail-
road shares yesterday as Chicago and
Northwestern. Northern Pacific. and
Baltimore and Ohio. These issues
failed to show any weakness. and in
fact were strong, but their strength
was attributed to betterment in the
general market. The oft repeated rea-
son Of foreign liquidation was offered
in part for the sales, but in some
quarters the selling was said to repre-
sent switching from the rails to the
industrials on the theory that armed
peace. or entrance OF the United
States in the war would mean q con-
tinuation Of the good demand for
copper, steel, and munitions.

showed a decidedly hating attitude

into an alliance against the United

themselves was equally clear this

turers and printers. On the other
hand, the almost complete with
