FINANCES AND
 MARKETS

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Second only in importance only to the presidents stirring address to congress yesterday and even more potent as a market stimulant, was the report submitted to that body today by the interstate com merce commission bearing vitally upon thel future of the railroads of the country.
 1t is yet too early to forecast even to an approximate degree the effect of the commerce commissions recom- mendations, but the course of the stock market following the publication of the report. left no doubt of it's inn mediate significance.
 The first intimation of the proposed suspension of the sherman law re- suited in a rebound in which prices were carried two. and in some cases almost five points above lowest levels.
 Industrials and the entire war list as well as shippings, coppers and specialties shared in the advance. United States Steel rallied from it's low of S6h to S9B, with corresponding gains elsewhere. Total sales, SS0, 900 shares.
 Bonds were heavy for a time. but strengthened with stock list. Liberty fours ruled at 97.30 to 97.62 and the 3Ia's 9S.5O to 9S72 Total sales, par value, amounted to s5,150,0OO.

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

The recommendation by the Inter state Commerce Commission that the government take over the railroads was the greatest surprise the Street has had in years. U?til it is thor oughly understood just what this means, no one can form an intelli- gent opinion. In England the railroads were taken over and their previous dividends were guaranteed. Here such an act might prove very costly. If the government should guarantee the dividends of roads because they used to earn them, there would be the same reason for guaranteeing the dividends to roads which did not formerly earn them but which earn them today While uncertainty exists such as we have now, we are going to have a very feverish market. The rail list has been oversold, not very heavily, for the amount of stocks car ried in the street is small, the after noon rise showed this It was the stocks with the short interest which advanced, the ones without it had small recoveries. The market is showing a backbone which is very encouraging.
 A remarkable change in sentiment swept over the market in the last | hour when the intent of the Inter- | state CommTrce Commission was bet | ter understood. The thought in Wal
 Street was that liquidation of rail-
 road securities woulc De stopped un- | der the new order

COYOTE TEAM
 |S PROMISING

There are two good reasons why the Coyote basketball team this year is likely to maintain a higher standard than in previous years. In the first place the lads have just completed an entirely successful football season, and flushed with their recent victories they simply have the habit of keeping in trim and will continue to do until the end of the basketball season. The sec ond reason is that most of the football talent is versatile enough to be un- usually good in the court pastime and is especially anxious to keep the school in high standing in lesser sports after wiping the slate clean in the gridiron division.
 Professor Carpenter of the faculty has been given the job of whipping the team into shape For three years, Prof Carpenter has performed this function very satisfactorily and it is expected that his coaching will again manifest itself as a mateial part of the promised success of the team this year Prior to his acceptance of the position of biol ogy instructor at the high school, MT. Carpenter was a university basketball star. He is strong exponent of the game and his enthusiasm is accredited as the source of his unprecedented sue.
 
 Attractive new uniforms are to be furnished for the boys this year by the athletic association of the school The contrast with previous vears. when the boys fared forth attired in ragged out fits. ought to be gratifying to the eye of the basketball fan. Suits will be fur nished by the boys until after the first game when the new suits will be dis tributed after the team has been final ly picked.
 The faculty and the high school team will furnish the first game of the sea son on December F. Both teams have a comparatively short time to get into condition but vigorous training has al- ready been started and the lads will round into very fair shape if their good work is continued until the eve of the battle.
 The game will be staged at the ar mory There is always a great dea of interest in the games between the faculty and the students and it is ex- pected that the student body will turr out in full force to attend.

CAN'T DECIDE
 PLACE IF GAME

Whether the game between san Diego and Phoenix high schools will be played here or on the coast on New Years day is still a matter of conjecture. no definite arrangements having been made between the two teams.
 If the game is played in Phoenix it will be turned into a great bene- fit affair and the proceeds will be split between the Red Cross, the As sociated Charities and the ''Y'' war work fund, exclusive vr the amount which must be paid for the expenses of the visiting team. This was de- cjded upon at a meeting called night before last by Captain Wilky of the football team. Talks were made by Coach Geary and Albert Pinney.
 Practice will start at once and the team will round itself into first class condition for the big game with daily workouts on the local gridiron.
 The high school boys have been assured of the support of several local organizations. besides the stu dent body, and it is expected that the importance of the game will re- suit in the assembling of one of the biggest crowds in the history of Io- cal football.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.--Corn advanced in price today, owing more or less to persistent smallness of receipts despite announcements of a better supply of railway cars. The market closed firm Ss to 1c net higher with January s1.214s and May s1.19h to s1.195s
 Oats gained 1h to 1%c and provis- ions soc to s1.O0.
 Although a slight tendency to sag was noticeable at the outset in the corn market. prospects of new price fixing legislation appeared to have lost force as an element of depression. Unfulfill- ment of hopes that arrivals would ma terially increase led to a hardening of values and there was a further display of bullish sentiment after a rise in the oats market to fresh higher price rec ords for the season. The scarcity of corn available for immediate delivery cents to ten cents being quoted for new crop supplies.
 Bulges in the price of oats resulted chiefly from the fact that stocks here were meager and receipts disap- pointing.
 Buying attributed to packers hoisted provisions to the maximum of the days limit. Offerings were scarce. Hog re- ceipts compared unfavorably with last year

SIMS ELY JR.
 JOINS C0L0RS

Washington advices report the ap- | pointment of Sims Ely, Jr, to a field clerkship' with General Pershing army in France. Somewhat more than week ago he received from the war department telegraphic offer of the appointment. The Valley bank, which on all occasions has shown a patriotic desire to help the government | at once granted to the young man a | leave of absence, good for the war, | from his position as one of it's assist | ant cashiers, and telegraphing his ac- ceptance of the foreign position, he left immediately for Washington, ac- companied by Mrs Sims Ely. Jr. The formal appointment was made Satur day.
 The young couple will visit with Miss Helen Ely, in New York, until he gets his sailing orders. Mrs Ely will return to Phoenix after the holidays.
 Field clerkships' are among the many features of modern war. The making of war has become a vast business undertaking, and in their business establishments connected with the armies the governments involved | seek to secure the services of men who are specially trained. When General Pershing had surveyed the field in France and had sized up the work ahead of him, he cabled to the war de- partment request for 150 young men, | of special training, for positions. As rapidly as possible, his request was complied with: but it was soon seen that the 150 men first suggested would fall far short of the number needed in handling the business end of Q great army. and the number was ma terially increased.
 Phoenix now has three bright young men in the ranks of foreign field clerks Leon $. Jacobs, Melville Fickas and Sims Ely, Jr.-an unusual honor for single community: but it happened that Phoenix had the young men of talent, especially qualified, and that was the fact that interested Uncle Sam.
 Field clerks are given the status of officers. from the start; and it is understood that congress at this ses- sion will authorize the war depart ment to commission them as regular officers of the army.

 This question was answered in the affirmative judging by the way cop per shares moved today Kennecott went down very little and although a lowering of the rate on Utah on their dividend is looked for, this stock did better than it did yesterday So, too, with the other coppers there was very little pressure

BITTERNESS Shown IN
STRIKE INVESTIGATION
Railway Attorney Charges Commis-
sioners and Conciiator Favored Men.

There WAS plenty of feeling" on tap at
yesterd' US session OF the Senate street
car str. re investigation, when Attorney
George p. Hoover, for the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, fatty
charged that Commissioners Newman
and Brownlow, and Conciliator Black
man, og the Department of Labor had
favored the strikers in the recent issue.
Hoover indicated his belief that the
three officials were prejudiced in favor
of the employees when Mr.. Hoover de-
manded that Mr.. Blackman tell why, in
his Wednesday testimony, he had sup
plemented his statement about the COM
pany being annoyed with labor troubles
during 1916 with the additional one that
the men had been annoyed by certain
acts OF the company.
Senator Hiram Johnson objected to the
question, to which the attorney replied
that he wanted to show that Blackman
favored the strikers, and that the three
officials had made "a studied effort to
arrange their testimony so as to put the
company at a disadvantage"
Mr.. Blackman denied the charge,
after Senator johnson had rebuked the
attorney for bringing in what the Sena-
tor regarded as irrelevant matter.
