New York. Feb. 2o.-The market to-
day gave unmistakable evidence Of a
disposition to shove off the apathy
and timidity which have been its
chief characteristics since the early

descriptions were taken with apparent
freedom and confidence, rails and
shippings alone showing comparative
backWardness.
Commission houses reported a mod

very large proportion of the turn

the higher prices prevailing for those
products.

 mum Named, Says Daniels

Washington. June 3O.-Secretary Ba- tionaI defense. repudiated tonight an agreement fixing tentative price oi g a ton for bituminous coal reach ed at a conference here Thursday be- tween coal producers. Secretary Lane, n member of the defense council, mem- bers Of the councils coal production committee and the federal trade com- mission.
 Neither the council nor it's committees Secretary Baker said lin a letter to W. S. Clifford CT the council has rower to hx prices. He added that the price of s at the mines suggested for bituninous coal is "exorbitant, unjust and oppres- sive."
 Secretary Daniels another member of the council earlier in the day said the agreement would in no way affect coal purchases for the navy The navy, he said, will continue to buy from the mines at $2.33 ton, leaving price to be de- termined after the federal trade commits sion has ascertained production costs.
 BAKERS LETTER
 In his letter to MT. Clifford MT. Baker asserted that he believed no members of the defense council disagreed with him as to the limitations on the powers of the council and it's committees and as to the effect of the action taken. The fact that the conferences were attended by mem bers of the council and of the trade com mission, he declared gave no legality to the agreement.
 The fixing agreement was reached after 400 operators called here by the coal production committee had adopted reso- lutions authorizing their committees to give assent to such maximum bituminous prices as might be named by the Secre- tary of the Interior. the federal trade commission and the coal committee.
 FORT THOUGHT IT SAFE
 The resolution was reported by Trade Commissioner Fort from a special com mittee. In presenting it for adoption MT. Fort declared he believed 1t was entirely safe for the conference to adopt and that any responsibility as to the legality of fixing prices was put on the govern HAoiit diiu AoI oii tiie opcrdtOrs uHQer the terms of the resolution. Some operators had expressed fear that they might be prosecuted under the antitrust laws if they entered into an agreement among themselves to lower prices.
 An official announcement made through the public information committee said that in the final conference cost prices and other confidential informatio~ was laid on the table and the goverI 1ent representatives, acting as judges. decided what would be the highest prices paid at the mines-the prices to go into ef- feet July and to remain in effect until investigations are made and other prices arranged.
