Wilson's decision to take over the ma
TONS railroads
The guarantee plan was especially
praised as insuring justice to the Sc
curity holders. Bankers pointed out
the move would greatly stablnze
monetary and investment conditions.
Selection of Secretary McAdoo as
rail dictator has almost universal ap-
prevail in financial quarters.
Typical of the comment of railroad
presidents was that of W. H. Trues-
dale of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western:
1T seems to me a fair. reasonable
and workable method of taking over
the railroads. The proposed method
of compensation does not strike me as
being out of the way"
Approve of McAdoo.
Frederick Underwood. president of
the Erie, said:
THE new plan will be like plunge
in cold water. 1t will hurt at first,
but after we are in it we are going
to like it, l can't find any fault with
it."
President Charles E. Mitchell of the
National City company put his stamp
of approval on it this way: THE
appointment of Secretary McAdoo is
excellent The plan looks extremely
sane and sound"
Charles H. Sabin, president of the
Guaranty Trust company, added this
endorsement: The news from Wash
ington is splendid. The plan strikes
me as very satisfactory"
Editorial comment here generally
approved the plan.

IODkYS MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Dec. 27.-CORN-Notice that the
government would take possession of the
railways had a bearish effect today on the
corn market. A majority of traders in
clined TO the belief that the government
action would tend to result in a larger
movement of grain from the interior to
the principal terminals. Selling based on
this theory however. was not of an aggres-
sive character. Opening prices, which
ranged from unchanged figures to q "a 12c
lower. with January 1-261l to $126is and
May $1.$12 to $1.24s, were followed by a
moderate setback all around.
Scarcity of arrivals brought about a
little rally later but failed to give the mar
ket any lasting strength, except in the
December delivery. Peace talk was a bear
ish factor. Prices closed steady, January
s.. 261s TO S1.26A and May S124% 6124N
with the finish as a whole varying from
&c decline to &c advance compared with
"a hours before
OATS-Although at first oats showed
considerable strength, the market took
downward swing with corn. The initial
upturn was ascribed to a forecast of much
colder weather and to likelihood of export
sales
RovISIONs-Provisions were irregular
and dull. Pork showed a small decline but
lard and ribs scored slight gains
Subsequently,, weakness became general
as result of selling by houses with stock
yards connections.

Washington, Dec. Eff the cen
trail powers peace overtures to Russia
are true they still lack the essential
element demanded by President Will
son and seconded by England-elimi
nation of Hohenzollernism.
Moreover, the blanket formula, mo
annexation and no information" by
no means covers all that must be in
cluded in a peace settlement. This
lives the restoration of Belgium and
kindred vital problems out of consid-
Grafton and is considered here today
as largely a bait to the Russians in
view of their formulation of this creed
While President wilson's peace
views practically call for this formula,
his chief insiStence is upon elimina-
ton of the present government sys-
TEN, upon which no faith can be
placed and with which no bargain can
