WAR FINANCE BILL
AFFECTING MARKET
Legislation with International Stu
alton Causes Some Uncertainty.
By BRoADAN WALL.

New York. March 6.-Stocks clos
sed heavy today and without mate
rial net change in any department
The money market seemed to be
responsible for this hesitation and
the dispute over the war finance
bill Is the thing that worries the
money market. Because of that
dispute brokers do not give full
faith and credit to bankers for the
reduction Of the money rate record
ed the last few days.
IndecisIon of President Wilson
regarding Japan's proposition to
march into Siberia also checked
market enthusiasm.
Rumor current early in the day
that Baldwin Locomotive proposes
to do SIC, 200, 900 extra financing was
officially denied in the afternoon.
Baldwin's big business Is for the
government. which is financing the
work.
1t seems that companies with
vast war contracts do not neces-
sarily need to do public financing,
as the government stands ready at
all times to furnish necessary funds.
Practically all the big companies
working for the government will
need and accept such aid and 1t is
not to their discredit that they do
so.
st. Paul was run up more than
three points on rumors that the
directors would pay the dividend
after all.
A new element has entered into
the market for the stocks of rail-
roads with large holdings in the
Northwest. Northern Pacific was
bought today freely by an operator
who says he understands the COM
pany will explore its large land
holdings in Wyoming for petrol
cum. With the railroad company
behind 1t, an exploration party
could find within a few months
whether there is oil on these lands.
Wyoming Is becoming one of the
most fruitful sources of oil explo-
ration.
Accumulation Of Allis- Chalmers,
United Motors. Baldwin. Car Foun-
dry and all the steels and railways
equipment shares continued. for
there is still an unbounded conf
dence on the part of the big opera
tors in the early appearance of a
strong and higher market.
