New York. Feb. 1.-Opening. Stocks
broke with extreme violence in today's
early dealings, the new policy Of the
German government precipitating
enormous Incubation Declines in
stocks OF all descriptions ranged from
1--we .tor>more than 20 points, United
States steel making a gross recession
Of Is points to 80, with 26 points for
Bethlehem Steel on a single sale.
Shippings were conspicuously weak,
Marine preferred losing almost 18
points, with Is for Atlantic Gulf and
West indies. All the so-called war
crumbIed seven to 10 points
and coppers yielded eight to Is, with
declines Of three to five in leading
railroads. Supporting orders resulted
In rallies OF three to 10 points after
the first selling movement.
Noon-Many other severe losses oc-
Cured In the first half hour, especial
" in highly speculative issues. Beth
lethem Steel reacted another 10 points,
or SO in all. Recoveries were mos,
quickly effected In coppers Declines
OF four to six points in high grade
railroads, like Reading, Baltimore &
Ohio, New York Central and Norfolk
& Western were made up in fair pro-
portions. United States Steel and
shippings rallied five to six points and
les conspicuous war specialties five 60
10. Dealings slackened in the second
hour, but another selling movement
ensued at midday, materially reducing
recoveries in leading stocks. Transac-
tions up to noon appropriated 1,20O,-
900 shares.

World Of Finance
THE DEPLETED 81,
LUMBER SUPPLY

"A. bulletin of the United States
Forest Service shows how the present
market situation threatens still high
er cost of lumber. The trouble start
ed when the government sold vast
areas Of public timber lands at a low
. price. Spectators got hold of 1T, and
soon this property was capitalized TOO
high.
Then to get ready money, the own
ers have to cut the timber in the most
wasteful way. This threatens FUR
Their shortage The Forest Services
remedy is for the government to buy
back timber lands. This would mean
paying for lot Of watered stock.
The waste Of building materials Is
one of the shamefully spendthr1ft
ways Of the. American people. MIL
lions of value are annually burneo
from the carelessness OF campers anu
hunting parties. The same people
who complain bitterly OF hlgn rents
will 70 out in the woods and care
lessiy allow fires to get started that
destroy the materials out Of which
houses are built.
The people will have little SYM
nathy for the difficulties Of lumber
epeculators. Like many other evils
this has had some tendency to cure
itself. Too high prices on lumber
led inventive minds to devise subsu-
tutes. Whole towns are built out OF
stucco and cement. But lumber IS
basic staple Of daily life and snoulo
be conserved.
The first essential is to encourage
prompt replanting. Land that might
be raising good trees but is merely
growing up to useless brush, is CAPT.
tai living idle. The state may not be
able to replant it, but it could surely
rnake the owner see that it would be
money in his pocket. The question OF
lumber supply may seem a rather re-
mote one to the ordinary man. But
if he would analyze his rent bill, ne
would see what lumber waste costs
him.

February is the month most favor
ed by the amateur weather prognos-
ticator, who, in INDUCING in the in
herited taste for meteorological pro-
phesy, but follows a precedent CEN
turtles old. Candlemas' or Ground
Hog Day, which falls tomorrow, is,
of course, the most decisive date in
the matter Of determining future
weather, but our ancestors gave to
the entire month of February a great
significance. AS Scotch wisdom has
it:
"a the months O. the year
Curse a fair Februeer.''
The desirability of having a snowy,
stormy February is also urged by the
Normans and the Welsh, and the lat
ter say,
1.-THE Welshman would rather see his
dam on her bier.

Either with the black or white;
If it be white, it's the better to like"
Many who cling to the traditional
Significance of Candlemas Day will
anxiously await the weather develop
ments of the morrow, since, in the
language of the old Scotch proverbs:
eff Candlemas day be dry and fair
The half o. winters to cZne and
mair;
If Candlemas day be wet and foul,
The half O. winters game at Yule."
On the continent of Europe, in
many countries, there is proverb to
the effect that the shepherd would
rather see the wolf enter his stable
on Candlemas than the sun.
In Europe there is a belief, centur-
les old, that the badger peeps out
Of his hole on Candlemas Day, and,
If he finds snow, walks abroad; but
If the ground is\ dry and the sun
shining, he goes back in his hole for
another nap.
Ground Hog Day in America is
probably based on this old supersti-
ton. AS everybody knows, Mr..
Ground Hog issues from his winter
abode on the second of February, but,
if he sees his shadow-that is, if the
sun shines-immediate returns to
his hole, because there will be six
weeks more of winter weather. If
on the contrary it is cloudy, and he
is unable to see his shadow, he will
remain out because winters back is
broken and an early spring is in
prospect.

belief that 1t was true, and that the
Northern Pacific railroad had given to
the league the use of the Northwest
hotel in Fargo, as part reward.
Mr.. Divet further commended that fon
six years the railroads have been at
tempting to get on the gross earnings
tax basis in this state, and that, when
the leagues proposed constitution was
submitted, it carried such gross earn.
ings feature, and eliminated the pres
ent method of taxing railroads.
Representative Fraser challenged
Mr.. Divets statement with respect to
favoring the railroads. He pointed to
Mackoff, on Wednesday, a bill for
cattleways' under railroad tracks, as
indicating the general attitude OF the

lation.

he maintained that the charges were
absolutely without foundation.
