Tuesday, March IS, 1917

Along with the rest of the nation,
Wall Street is doing some serious
thinking about the affairs OF the
world in general, and this country IN
particular, but its conclusions, If any
have been reached, are not finding
definite expression in terms of rising
or falling quotations for stocks. The
threat of general railroad strike
that would paralyze the whole indus
trial organism and seriously derange
the economics of national existence,
is a development scarcely to be con-
templated without feeling of appre-
hension, and yet the action of the
stock market does not suggest that
the news is so regarded. Perhaps
the unwritten rule, "never sell stocks
on a strike" TO which Wall Street
has long adhered has lost none of its
efficacy. and on the present occasion
restraints what might be regarded as
a natural impulse to sell securities.
on the theory that labor troubles tend
to demoralize business and therefore
impair investment values. What is
more probable, however, is that few
people seriously believe strike will
be called.

Active Securities
Stocks
lBy The Associated Press
Wall Street, March l.

Wall Street, March Is.
Tendencies recently manifested by
the stock market in the direction OF
higher levels were halted by the turn
of events in tho controversy between
the railway brotherhoods and railway
managers. The reported attitude OF
the labor unions was the more surpris-
ing and disconcerting from the fact
that the financial community had been
led to believe in the existence OF a
temporary working agreement between
the opposing interests.
Railway shares yielded l to points
on the moderate offerings Of the morn
ing. with as much and occasionally
little more for other active stocks, in
GLIDING leading industrials, shippings,
metals and the usual specialties.
Later, when dealings dwindled to in
significant proportions, prices made
gradual but complete recoyerics, in
GLIDING few noteworthy gains, due
mainly to short covering.
As usual. United States Steel, "hIch
closed at "A slight fractional advance
furnished large proportion OF the
days business, with coppers, shlpplhgs'
Central. Leather and few other war
and semi-war specialties. Reading was
the only active stock IN the railway dl-
vision, and utilities were less consplcu-
Gus than usual.
international bonds moved within eX-
tremely narrow limits on light offer
ings and most domestic issues were
irregular.
United States bonds were unchanged
on call. but the coupon Is fell a per
cent and registered IS z per cent on
actual sales.

rubber stocks. Oil shares attracted

Money and Credit

In the money market the principal
effect of the steady influx of gold from
Canada is seen in the increased offer
ing of time funds for the longer ma
turtles at substantial concessions from
the high rates Of last month. At the
moment offerings are mostly from out
of-town institutions. which regard the
rates here attractive. Chicago banks
have recently appeared in the local
market conspicuously as lenders. Local
banks, while they are becoming some
what more active, are still pursuing a
conservative course, and business as a
whole continues rather light in volume.
Rates for loans on good railroad and
industrial collateral rule at ga to 394
per cent for sixty days, 324 TO 4 per
cent for ninety days and four months
and per cent for five and six months.
Industrial loans are quoted 4 to y per
cent higher.
Offerings of call money were not
quite so plentiful yesterday, and the
ruling rate was marked up Il per cent
10 pa per cent.
Ruling rates on money yesterday,
compared with year ago, were as fol-
lows:

NOTES

Amateur gardeners often make the
mistake of planting vegetables too
close together. Plants having large
foliage such as tomatoes, peas and
beans, should be given plenty of room,
in order that the sunshine may reach
all parts.
Plenty of potash and phosphoric
acid should be used witA all vegetables
and particularly with tomatoes, pep
pers, egg plants and root-crops.
If the ground was well fertilized be-
fore planting the seeds there will be
but little trouble through plants dwin-
ding in the hot weather providing the
soil is kept light.
Much of the trouble laid to drought
comes through plant starvation.
Some plants are such rank growers
that they exhaust the fertility of the
soil very quickly unless some reserve
food is provided.
If you have not made due provision
for this in the planting it may still
be easily done by digging large hole
between the rows or hills and filling
this with fertilizer, mixing it as much
as possible with the soil.
Rains will wash a part of the fertil.
ity down among the roots and the
plants will thus find source of con
stant renewal.
This will keep them vigorous and
in healthy condition throughout the
season and the fruit formed under
these conditions will lack the bitter
ness which we often experience from
neglecting the soil.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caIIus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter !;
wear shoes size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or calluS from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.
