WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE

New York, Dec. 7-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say: The process Of
readjustment which has been under
way for several months In domestic
business steadily widens In its scope.
and the changing conditions in for
etgn trade stand out more prominent
ly as new regulations are put into
effect. Some Inconvenience and re-
strictions imposed by the war, and
with the doubts about future econo-
mic developments there is an ever
increasing disposition to operate con-
servatively and mainly for wen de-
hned requirements. That the pres
sing governmental needs are the pre-
dominant influence becomes clearer
each week. and the shifting char
acter OF production and consumption
Is more sharply defined In the cur
tailment or elimination of outputs Of
non essential articles. and in the more
complete centering Of civilian de-
mands In the staple necessities.
Where scarcity Of supplies is threat
ened. certain interests endeavor to
cover their wants as far ahead as
possible. yet discussion of the extern
sion of price control prompts not a
few buyers to hold of in anticipa-
tion Of reductions, and in the rare
cases where there are accumulations,
yielding tendencies are witnessed.
But that the main trend Of COM
modities continues upward except
where the markets have been arbit-
tarily regulated. is demonstrated by
pun's list of wholesale quotations,
which this week disclose - advances
and 81 recessions.

morrow will say:

plies are at an unprecedented height.
transportation routes are under un-
exampled strain, and increasing stress
is being laid upon necessity for cur

therefore, increasing evidence of

lines. accompanied by the presence
OF a governmental check-rein upon

Incidentally. scarcity Of fuel or raw
materials or the working out Of pro-
cesses making for closer readjust-
ments to "a war basis tend to restrict

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago. Dec 1.-THE embargo placed On the
shipments Of coarse grains By the government
proved to be . serious matter with the holders
OF both corn and oats today. Oats broke zKA

dsysS. @ the week when great strength was
shown. Com rested for the day at declines

ber 10 against shipment of corn and oats to
territory east Of tho Illinois Indiana State line
and north Of the Ohio and Potomac rivera
The commission also ordered the Western lines
to give special attention to the movement Of
corn
The feature IN the oats market besides the
sensational price decline was the heavy selling
BY longs and the buying BY those who are be-
ieyed to be short There was also some buying
by investors. The only sales Of cash oats re-
corded was 5000 bushels to 90 to store at T5c.
There was an enormous trade IN cash meats
and lard with the British commission and the
Belgian relief the principal buyers This bust

WEBB WAR MEASURE

Some Senators said yesterday upon

waited for the House TO pass the
war resolution. discussion Of the Webb

The measure allows American man

20 capture foreign fields.
'T want to know who n back of
the bill?' demanded Senator Reed.
Of Missouri. Il want 70 know what

Every man qualified TO express an

N. Y. STOCK MARKET
CLOSES IRREGULAR
Traders Await Congress Action on
Railroad Situation.

New York, Dec. stocks closed ir-
regular today and without material
change after a very quiet session.
The only incidents Of importance were
new low records for Steel at ss S-s
and for Pennsylvania AIS. These
records, however. came about so
quietly that they were not considered
significant. In the afternoon corn
products and Cuba cane were ad-
yanced. Sears-Roebuck was heavy.
as were several other investment
issues.
Wall Street refused to trade because
It wants to know what the govern
ment proposes to do regarding the
Interstate Commerce Commission
plans for railroad relief. The public
has been scared out by the unfavor-
able war news Of the last few days.
The rally that brought the whole list
back in the afternoon was due to the
report from Russia that the Boil
shevild had been defeated In q ma
tiona1 election. The advance in corn
products was due to the natural ex-
pectations of big profits growing out
OF the greatest corn crop on record
combined with the greatest demand
for sugar on record = The eompany's
syrups are finding an active market
where sugar Is dificult to get.
An attempt to make speculative
capital out Of the Bethlehem Steel
for money from the govern
ment was, a failure. It has been un-
derstood for months that the govern
ment would finance the munitions
and Bethlehem Steers appli-
cation was q matter Of routine. Other
companies will make the same re-
quest from time to time, and the re-
quests will not be Of stock market
Selling Of Sears-Roebuck and of
Woolworth, which has been a feature
Of the investment collapse, is due to
q belief on the part Of the investors
that these companies will suffer OH
account Of the difficulty of filling or
ders promptly by freight in the case
Of the former, and the difficulty Of
making profit out Of nickels and
dimes In the case Of the latter.
Guessing on the new prices for steel
and copper was the favorite occupa-
ton OF the Street.
Although Wall Street wants the
farmers punished for not buying
enough liberty bonds and for getting
too much for produce, it is likely that
the government will give still further
relief to the farmers. This will not
be because Of favoritism, but because
the farmers really need relief.
