Stock Market Today
Purely Professional

New York, Feb. THE New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Today's stock market was almost
wholly professional affair. SO many
disturbing rumors have been afloat
throughout the financial district since
President Wilson decided to break dip
lomatie relations with Germany that
outsiders have been frightened back in
to the ranks of mere observers.
There was considerable unsettlement
in the first hour with prices leaning
toward the downward side. Business
was only moderately active.
Toward midday, however, there was a
good deal of scattered buying of the
war stocks.
All the steel and copper stocks like.
wise made good showing, United
States steel moving forward a point
or so. In the early afternoon trading
died down and the industrial and rail
road lists alike Jagged.
The whole market seemed to be mark
ing time awaiting what may develop
from the rather vigorous prosecution OF
the German program of submarine sink
ings.
There were numerous fluctuations in
the industrial list, but prices with few
exceptions were q point or more below
Tuesday and trading was sluggish.

trict attorney for Marion county, was
chosen captain of the company at the
meeting last night after the annual
United States government inspection.
The election was under the supervision
of Major Carle Abrams, commanding
officer Of the Third battalion and the
vote was unanimous.
Captain Neer is now in his fourteenth
year of service in the Oregon National
Guard and is highly esteemed as an of
ficer and a leader of men. He first
enlisted in Company M in 1908, and
worked up the line of non-commission-
ed officers until he won commission in
1911 as second lieutenant. In 1918 he
was again promoted and became first
lieutenant. He served with the regi-
ment on the Mexican border service and
is considered a competent and efficient
officer
After the election last night, the new
Neglected captain announced his ap
pointments as follows: For first lieu
tenant Second Lieutenant Dana H. AL
len; for second lieutenant, First Ser
geant Francis N. Banta; and for first
sergeant, First Duty Sergeant R. c

The Rural credits bill which took up
considerable time yesterday morning
was the subject again when the senate
convened for the afternoon session.
Senator Eddy defending the bill sub
stituted by the committee for the

state land board had successfully man,
aged the funds for years. II it could
handle SG,000,000 it could Just as well
handle $lS,00o,000, or such part of it
as the iuial credit scheme might make

discretion, tenpering its business
policy with mercy aud keen under
standing of humanity. With total
of more than 5000 loans only 80 were

much as forty days, and there were
few banks in the state that could make

whole sum was loaned at an average
of $1,000 each, 5000 loans. An in

Senator Norris denounced secret dip

"We should not be asked to vote for
this resolution, he said, "until we
have all the facts the president has, re-
lating to the situation.
Norris objected to what he called
a. the prevailing fashion of endorsing
every move made by the president.
Senator Underwood asked it it was
the understanding that the president
wanted the resolution adopted.
Stone replied he had no expression
from the president.

tically shut out of any benefits from
it, While we are to get none of its
benefits we should at least be allowed
TO throw some safeguard around it that
win protect us. 1t may be all things
will be done properly but while the
present state land board is above re-
proach or suspicion it will not always
be composed as it is now.
Senator Pierce explained at some
length his borrowing money from the
land board some years ago about which
Shank switted him. He showed why
the board at that time loaned money in
larger amounts than it does now, one
reason being that there was little de-
mand Tor this money at that time and
the board was glad to get it loaned out
as it could in order to keep it earning
something. The interest had been paid
promptly and so had the principal.
That was all there was TO that. The
school fund, he said, is the best handled
fund in the state, There are 5,l00
notes outstanding, the interest of
which has all been paid. He doubted
the friendship of Senators Barrett and
Shank for the bill and he proposed to
vote for bill drawn by persons
friendly to the plan rather than for
one drawn by its enemies, and those
who call it rank class legislation, His
attention was called to the fact that
farmers living away from the land
