MESSAGE CONTROLS
STREETS OPERATIONS
Presidents Demand for Ban on
Profiteers Causes Reaction.
Ry STONON WALL.

New York, Dec. 4.-The stock
market today hung upon the words
of the Presidents speech as he ut
tered them before Congress. Up to
midday traders marked time. There
was little or no activity. As the
message came over the wires, the
market began to act according to
the sentiments expressed by Mr..
Wilson Wall Street was hard put
to interpret his words as quickly as
they came.
Operators reacted optimistically
at first, prices advancing conserva-
lively by 1 O'Clock. The desire for
the right sort Of peace had a buIiish
effect. Trading was still in mod
crate quantities. however, and con-
tinued so for the rest of the day.
The Presidents statement that
Congress should go further in the
control of profitoering caused some
what of a reaction and earlies gains
were lost. The market did not i'm
prove after this, though operators
were reacting favorably to the
words from Washington.
At the close of the days session
an unexplained reaction set in, and
n great nuHDeT OK the important
issues OF all classes suffered losses
from to points.
Tobacco shares were very weak
American Sumatra Tobacco lost 3
points, American Tobacco 3-s
Tobacco products IA, and United
Cigar Stores 4 1-2. This was the
first reaction in these issues for a
long time. In recent weeks they
have often showed themselves the
strongest securities in the market
Marine pfd. lost heavily, due tc
the unsatisfa ctory dividend action OF
the International Mercantile Marine
directors recently.

but when he was hari up Uncle Sam
a borrower would be-"
Congressman Clark, of Florida. in
this connection, viii push his bill

the States when Uncle Sam was flush.
Now that he is hard up, the money
would come in handy. 1t is said that

years, which adds considerably to the
sum. The fact that 50 many Of the

WILL give STAMPS
FOR XMAS PRESENTS
r. P. Andrews Suggests Novel Plan
for D. c. Merchants.

The war savings stamp campaign
will receive a tremendous impetus. ac-
cording to the plans outlined at a
meeting Of the committee chairmen OF
District No. Yesterday afternoon in
the rooms OF the Retail Merchants
Association.
r. P. Andrews, chairman Of Dis
trict No. >, announced that instead of
giving s. gold pieces TO the employees
of his store. as before. that such en-
ployes OF his firm would receive a
similar amount in war savings stamps
It was voted 10y the committee to
recommend that all those who are in
the habit Of giving gold at Christmas
times make the war savings stamps
the form of gift.
This will not only he a great help
to the government in the present
crisis" said Chairman Andrews. but
will naturally prove a great Incentive
to saving on the part of all who re-
ceive them"
1t was decided that each member OF
the committee should select the per
sonnel of their respective committees
at once and send them TO Chairman
Andrews at the Office of the Retail
Merchants Association. and as soon
as the committee lists arc freed OF
duplication the hig drive 70. the war
savings fund will start in District
No. 2.
As President Of the Retail Mcr-
chants Association, MIR. Andrews an
nounced that merchants generally
would install stations in their stores
for the sale of war savings stamps.
1t is planned to set aside a booth,
and the service of one pcrson for the
sale of these stamps. While help of
every character is naturally in great
demand at this time, It has been sug-
gested that those who are fnfirTn of
foot may well be employed in this
work. 1t is expected that the stamp
booths will be set up by Monday or
Tuesday of next week.
