FINANCES AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, March 2.-The heavy tone of today's stock market was ascribed to developments in con- nection with the next Liberty loan.
 Traders seemed to proceed on the theory that speculation would be dis couraged pending the consummation of that project and sold freely of leaders as well as less representa- tive issues.
 Extreme recessions in special stocks ranged from to points, pressure being most marked in Baldwin Lo- comotive, Crucible Steel, Texas Com pany, New York Air Brake, Marine preferred and Atlantic Gulf.
 United States Steel, Bethlehem Steel and investment rails forfeited to 11a points and metals were under the adverse influence created by yesterdays reduced dividends for Utah and Chino coppers. Rallies ex- tending from large fractions to 11a points set in at the close. Sales amounted to 265,000 shares.
 The bank statement met general expectations in that it disclosed heavy increase of actual lbans-al- most $52, 900, ,000-a decrease of about $50, 100000 in reserves of members with the federal reserve bank and a decrease of slightly over S45, 5,000 COG | in excess reserves, reducing that item to about SIP, 2,500,000, the smallest total, with one exception. since the new federal system became opera | tive.
 l Bonds again were disposed to re- cede on nominal dealings, Liberty issues, however, holding steady. Tota sales, par value, aggregated $2,375, 900

NJ TIRES FUR WAR
 MACHINES REPORTS
 GOODRICH OFFICIAL

One of the most interesting, per- haps, of all reports of war zone ac- tivities, was the report rendered the other day by Victor Won der Linde of the Goodrich Rubber company, recent ly returned from an extensive tour of the belligerent countries in a study of automobile conditions.
 MT. Von der Linde's experiences in the German empire were particularly interesting. He says in part:
 Five hundred and fifty dollars for single tire and $500 for gallon of gasoline. How does that strike you Mir Motorist, who can tour from Phoe- nix to Globe and back at a total gaso- line cost of from $500 to $500?
 The only automobile in Germany running on pneumatic tires is Kaiser Wilhelm's. Even the crown prince is denied this luxury. Along with von Hindenburg, Ludendorff, von Mack ensen and the other diadems in the German crown, the crown prince bumps along to the front on tires filled with rags, compressed cord and paper
 "The situation of both Germany and Austria, as concerns tires, is truly de- plorable. Countries bounding the cen tral empires, with the exception oi those that are at war, are content witt the same conditions.
 Most castings are stuffed with com pressed champagne corl<s, paper rag: and sausages made of ground cork Some have even been filled with sant and dirt, while others have ground away their shoes and move about or rims bound with rope. I was forum ate to find taxicab in Berlin--a taxi cap is rare there now-and experiences the sensation of riding in a machin having nothing but rope bound wheels It was not a pleasant experience.
 Germany had little crude rubber il stock at the outbreak of the war. Sine then she has been depending on wha she could smuggle through the mail and what she could buy from Sweder ; Single sheets of rubber were sent 1 l letters from the United States unt Great Britain opened these and con
 fiscated the contents. After this chan nel had been closed she purchase
 large numbers of automobiles in tn
 country and had them shipped
 Sweden. There she stripped the auto mobiles of the tires and abandone brand new machines to the Swede But now Great Britain permits no ca shipped to Sweden with tire equi] ment

GRAIN

CHICAGO, March 2.-Export busi- ness upheld grain values today not withstanding fine weather likely to fla cilitate the movement of the crop. Corn closed steady at the same as yester- days finish, with March s1.27A and May s1.27. Oats finished at shade off to 1sc up. Provisions gained 10 to 55 cents.
 Ideal conditions for transferring corn to primary terminals existed. Low grade corn meeting with only limited inquiry operated as a bearish factor. Any weakening from such influences, however, was soon completely offset by a good demand which dryers main tained for all corn of desirable quality. The evident reason was that the dryers were accumulating as much corn as possible which would be suited for shipment to the entente allies. Export sales this week were estimated at S0O.- 900 bushels.
 Some strength in the March delivery of oats resulted from the purchase of 100000 bushels at St. Louis for export. May was eased by bearish field advices from Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas. Higher quotations on hogs, together with the smallness of the stock of lard here gave a lift to provisions.
 Corn: March $1.27%; May s1.27.
 Oats: March S9%c; May S75sc. | Pork: May $4S.35.

 Germany, none to be had.
 Austria, none to be had.
 Sweden, $550 for tire if you have permit from Royal Automobile club.
 Norway, S460 with a permit
 Denmark, s320 for a tire if you can find one and give written authority to government that it will not go to Germany.
 Holland, s350 for tire with gov ernment guarantee.
 Russia. S100 for one tire.
 Great Britain. s90 for one tire.
 France, s90 for one tire.
 Italy, s100 for one tire.
 Spain, $100 for one tire.
 Tn Sweden" he continued. there are 10000 automobiles. There are 1000 in operation and on tires from which has disappeared all semblance of the original castings. Tires hold twenty to thirty patches. Sweden has been placed in this predicament because of the number of tires that have gone to Germany from it's ports. England has denied it rubber supplies. Tires are scarcer than diamonds.
 Gasoline is as big problem as tires In no country can you get it without | government permit, and in Germany | prices are practically prohibitive. A pleasure trip of two hundred miles would cost the average German $20( | for gasoline alone"

TEMPE RED CROSS.
 WORK E PERFECT

TEMPE, March 3.-That the work CTS of the Tempe Red Cross branch have learned one of the important lessons necessary to the making of good soldier, that of obeying in- structions without question, is quite evident by the class of work now being turned out by these workers.
 The knitted articles made during the past month have been as near the exact measurements and of as high a standard of workmanship as it would have been possible for the designers themselves 10 have made
 This is also true of the sewing; in fact, only two times since the branch began work in July, 1917, has there been any corrections. One was in the sewing department, where a mar rover tape than should have been used was used and the other in knitting when a few pairs of socks were returned that the toe might be replaced by the Kitchner toe, which previously had not been required.
 Since January l. or in a period of two months, the branch has com pleted and shipped 431 garments to the Phoenix chapter and from there to San Francisco. These supplies are devided as follows: 51 pairs of knitted wristlets, 61 knitted sweat CTS AZ helmets, SS pairs of knitted socks, 97 pairs of bed socks, ST bed shirts, 21 knitted scarfs, pillows IA French textbooks and F pairs of pajamas.
 But not content with what has all ready been accomplished, the work CTS are inviting more to come every Tuesday and Friday to the rooms and work.

1t is a noteworthy fact that money

ing the present Bank of England

was reduced from Az per cent. to
per cent. on December 9th. Three
years ago, when our Federal Reserve
Board inaugurated the campaign to
crate ad iscount market here for for
eign trade acceptances, the New York
rate on that class of paper was to
.2h per cent. and the London rate
was 5 per cent, but the New York
rate has advanced to 4 to Az per
cent. and the London quotation has
fallen to 1916 to 4 lie.
This seems to be an extraordinary
situation, after England has been 8 u
years at war. and has raised and
spent about $24, 100000 of new
money We must conclude that the
demand for credit for business uses
is lighter cause of more stringent
control over industry. An individual

England for any purpose he chooses
