STOCK LIST COMES
BACK AT THE CLOSE
United States Steel Makes
Gain of 2 Points-Domes-
tic Bonds Stronger

New York. December 2o.-The stock
market traversed familiar ground to-
day, many securities making new
minimums on the broad selling of the
forenoon. The proportion of lower
levels at that period exceeded any re-
cent session.
Early liquidation was ascribed TO
the more doubtful dividend status Of
rails, as indicated by the action Of
the Baltimore and Ohio directors, to-
gether with yesterdays disappointing
crop report.
Tentative support of rails and in
dustrials at midday developed into a
brisk demand later especially in the
last hour. Many losses were fully re-
covered and leaders showed extreme
gains of to 8 points. few special
ties scoring even more Substantial ad-
vances.
The rally was in full progress at
the active close, steels, coppers, ship
pings and representative rails lead
ing. United States Steel, for example,
closed at s2as. a gain of practically
points, and Union Pacific, among
the weakest early stocks, made
gross rebound OF over 3 points to
104ss.
Improvement conceded with the
more aggressive note sounded by the
British premier. Some significance at
tached to the strength of interna-
tional bonds, Anglo-French 5s adj
vancing 2% per cent and the United
Kingdom "a per cent. All the French
issues also hardened perceptibly.
Nominal improvement was regis
tered by domestic bonds, although the
liberty 31ks were heavy at ss:44 to
the new minimum of 9S.1S, the As
selling between 97.10 and 81. Sales OF
bonds, par value, aggregated S5,l25,-

United States bonds, old issues, were

SHARP RALLIES
FEATURE COTTON
Near Months Showed Most
Strength During the
Days Session

New York, December 20.-Early de-
clnes were followed by sharp rallies in
cotton today. January sold up from
2s.25c to 2966c. closing at 2s.5sc, with the
general list closing steady at a net ad-
vance of 4 to . points Near months
were relatively firm. with December
selling l cent above the price of sJanu-
airy, on reports that some Of the cotton
taken up on contract earlier in the
month was already being shipped out,
and that further deliveries would be
taken.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of l to points on firmer Liv-
erpool cables, but soon weakened under
liquidation by Wall street and local
selling. The report of the census bureau
was almost exactly in line with expec-
tations but proved the signal for real
izing by recent buyers while there was
probably some selling for a reaction
after the recent advance OF about 10
points. Offerings were gradually abb
sorbed by trade during and after show
ing net loss OF is to "a points, the
market became steadler on covering. 1t
seemed that additional notices for about
1000 bales had caused some scattering
liquidation of December early, but had
soon been stopped, and when near
month shorts started to cover, they
found little cation offered. December
sold up from GOOSE to SO65c, or 40 points
net higeh, while March advanced from
q. SEC to 29. 26c. or about % points above
last nights close. Talk of better peace
prospects based on reports that oycr-
lures were soon to be made by the
central powers may have contributed 20
the advance. but the factors most gen.
orally mentioned were the strength of
near months and continued trade de-
mand The close was several points eff
from the best under realizing.

SOLVING THE BIG
RAILROAD PROBLEM
Nv HOLLAND

New York, December 2o-tSpeciaD
Shortly before Germany and Austria
began war, Frank Trumbull, chairman
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
company's board, outlined what he be-
lieyed would be necessary II the serious
situation in which the railway compan-
les of the United States found them
selves was to be ended.
Mr.. Trumbull was at that time chaip-
man Of a committee among whose mem
bers were some of the leading rail-
way operators in the United States. This
committee was organized for the purpose
of calling to the attention Of the pub
lie what was the almost deplorable
condition of the railway world was
and what should be the remedy. The
railway managers believed and Mr..
Trumbull himself believed that If the
public had a thorough understanding
| of what the situation was and what
the railroads needed. there would be
speedily a change of sentiment which
ultimately might lead to recognition
by Congress and by state legislatures
and compel remedial action.
At the time Mr.. Trumbull thus
spoke, the railroads of the United
States were handling the largest
amount of freight traffic which they
had ever been called upon to trans
port. Yet their net earnings were not
at all commensurate with this volume
Of traffic In the year 1915, about
three years after the conversation
with Mr. Trumbull took place, the rail-
roads of the United States were COM
nel1ed to haul 50,O00,000,00O more ton
miles of freight traffic than they
hauled in 1913, which, UP to that time,
was a record year. Mr.. Trumbull now
saws it is no wonder that the rail-
ways are staggering under the stupen-
dous load.
Probably the railway managers who
organized a committee for the purpose
of giving to the people instruction
of the kind which would sooner or
later lead to the forming of such
strong public opinion as ultimately
to force legislatures so to act as TO
mt an end to the demoralizing con-
ditions. were compelled to look far
into the future before public opinion
of that kind was secured. 1t might
require many years. 10 or IS. at least.
before public opinion so changed as
to make it possible for the govern
ments. national and state, and the
people to cooperate with the railroads
and the railroads on the other hand,
with the government and people,

FRANK TRUMBULL's VIEW

In a recent communication, MT
Trumbull calls attention to the fact
that the suddenly created and unpar-
alleled emergencies which have been
caused by the war have probably
dome much to stimulate public opinion
and to make the time not distant, but
near. when there will be satisfactory
between the railroads, the
empIoyes. the public and the govern
ment. For the war has been teach
ing wonderful object lesson respect
ing the railroad situation. Four years
ago Mr.. Trumbull outlined briefly the
measures which should be taken if
the railways of the United States are
to be placed upon a sound basis and
enabled SO to improve transportation
ia ci1ities as to make it possible,
through cooperation, conveniently to
handle the enormous traffic which will
be offered to them during the war and
after the war Condensed into brief
