Navy Department Plans
Constant Vigilance in
u. S. Coast Protection

Plans Of the Navy Department for
constant vigilance in American wa
ters against further depredations by
German submarines were believed to-
day to be set in motion. Putting into
effect Of the home campaign known
to have been formulated some time
ago has only been hastened by the
visit Of raiding U-boats to the Allan
tic coast. IT was intimated, and the
present efforts are but part of a long
contemplated program.
Future visits from the German raid
ero may be expected. 1t was said. ana
Atlantic coast waters must not hence
forth be considered as submarine
proof. The Navy Department would
not venture a prediction today as 10
whether the craft which preyed upon
American coastwise shipping early in
the week might still be lurking In
waters on this side of the Atlantic
1t was said that the vigilance of pa-
trolls in nowise had been Iessened
nor would it be decreased, even after
1t was safely assumed that the sub
marines had returned to their home
ports.

RAPID ADVANCE IN CORN
DESPITE U-BOAT RAID
Recurrence Of Peace Gossip Also
Aids Bull Side Of Chi
cago Market.

CHICAGO, June S-Despite the u
boat raid and a recurrence of peace
gossip, the corn market this week
has scored a rapid advance. Torrential
rains in Iowa. together with efforts
of industries to prepare for any like
lihood Of harvest time shipping pref
erence to wheat were the chief bull
ish factors. Compared with a week
ago, corn this morning was 81 to
~ net higher. oats up 2h to 3h
and provisions at gains of 81 to $1.85.
Although the activities Of subma-
rines OF the American coast brought
about q sudden rush Of selling in the
corn market, the bearieh furry that
resulted was quickly ended. A brisk
rally followed and then traders de-
voted attention mainly to the promis-
ing crop outlook until on Thursday
the market began to bulge owing to
anxiety over Iowa advices of excess
sive rains and floods Reports were
also current that cultivation in i'm
portant sections elsewhere. especial
ly the Ohio valley. was being delayed
and that receipts were thus likely to
be diminished. Improved cash de-
mand from industries was q later
bullish influence, which was subse-
quently Offset to some extent by
peace talk.
Oats developed strength with corn,
but export business lacked volume
and a bearish government report was
anticipated.
Provisions ascended with grain and
hogs.

WALL STREET MARKET
SHOWS FIRM UNDERTONE

NEW YORK. June 8.-While the
stock market moved very slowly. each
and every minute showed good
strength underlying the market and
gave the impression that the people
who have the stocks are familiar with
the situation and every phase Of trad
ing and will not let go Of their securi-
ties.
Every essential activity. and there
are few that are not so classified on
the active industrial list. is enjoying
a prosperous business life. with con-
tracts awaiting capacity for produc-
tion. Large government contracts
have been placedlwith the motor COM
panies, which means that they will
figure as an essential to tho govern
ment supply at least.
The chief essential factor of the
situation is admittedly the revision
Of the tax schedule, but corporations
must make the excess profits to be
amenable to the taxation program.
Moreover, 1t is for America, and nc
other consideration counts much these
days.
Wall street has never exhibited
greater confidence in the ultimate
outcome of the worlds war. More
over. predictions Of the nearness OF
the end are more numerous than for
months past.
Motors Furnish Bulk Of Trading.
The motors furnished the bulk OF
the business of the short session. on
large government orders, with gains
of to points, General Motors pac-
ing the advance.
Equipments. steels and industrials
generally hardened for an average OF
a point gain, and the rails. after CIV
ing a poor exhibition in the opening
hour, turned stronger also.
Profit-taking. always a feature of a
professional market, caused some re-
action in specialties in the second
hour. but the final closing was de-
cidedly firm.
Liberty bonds recorded decided i'm
provement. 8hs selling at 1886 to

BRITISH MINERS IN RANKS.
Quick to Volunteer Instead of Be.
ing Selected for Service.

LONDON, June There has been a
fine patriotic spirit shown by the
British miners in their response to
the call for men to enter military
service, says the Daily Telegraph's
labor correspondent.
In some districts, he says. as many
as 60 per cent of the men required
have been voluntarily recruited with
out resort to the ballot system, which
was devised as a means of giving
equal opportunities to all the men.
The correspondent states that the
number of men to be taken from the
mines for the army is now virtually
complete, and that in some districts
the entire quotas have been obtained.
The military authorities are taking
75. 900 men from the pits.

LIBERTY BONDS RALLY
ON TAXATION PROSPECTS
BY !. A. FLEMING.

Liberty bonds of the various issues
have shown a decided stiffenirg dur
ing the last day or two. following a
period when they showed more or less
positive weakness.
The change has been brought about
by the suggestion Of Secretary McAdoo
In connection with the proposed in
creases in taxation necessary to the
conduct Of the war; that liberty bonds
should be exempt from the increase,
SO as to not make additional impost
Of holders of liberty bonds. while
bearing heavy on those who have
shirked this feature of their personal
responsibility.
Giving this preferential treatment
to the liberty bond issues would give
the bonds "a great advantage over
those of corporate borrowers. and
would greatly decrease the advantage
which state and municipal bonds now
enjoy through entire freedom from
taxation. 1t would produce gradual
readjustment of the situation in the
investment markets instead Of an
abrupt one. as would be the case If the
rates on liberty bonds should be in
creased"
By this treatment Secretary McAdoo
hopes to popularize the liberty bonds
outstanding and future issues as well.
SO that it may not be necessary to
make the interest rate meet the
money market rate on future issues.
Tax free bonds of the first issue,
the 31as were steady; the first and
second As and the An s all made sub
stantial gains. a decided and positive
change from the slump into which
they had fallen, and a welcome one
as well.
Close at Noon Saturdays.
At recent meeting of the directors
of the Home Savings Bank it was de-
cided to close the institution at noon
on Saturdays in July and August, not
only of the home office. but all of the
various branches as we'll.
The fact that the stores will close
all day on Saturdays in the months
named will give the clerks ample op-
portunity for attending to business
Saturday mornings, so that.it will not
be necessary to keep banks open from
IL o'clock on.
By this action several hundred
clerks are relieved from night duties
that have made doubly burdensome
the extremely busy first half Of the
year, to date. A number of other saw
ings banks have taken similar ac-
tion.

on beef, fairly steady on pork, weak
and lower on lambs and firm on veal.
With practically all expected cars
in, the beef receipts this week were
about as light as last week, In which

many times. Several cars arrived In
off condition and were sold at = con-
siderable concession in price.
With light supply Of veal all
week and a fair to good demand.
prices remained steady to firm at last

Although receipts of pork were
heavier than last week they were
light, and with light demand all
offerings moved slowly.
Lamb receipts were very light, but
with a heavy carryover from last
week the supply was adequate. Stale
lambs were among the receipts and
low the market. This fact, with a
slow to fair demand, had a depressing
effect. Many sales were forced and
prices declined 81 to 81 during the
week.
The very little mutton on the mar
